Trump’s 2nd term: American Carnage

"More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis has found, as federal agencies rush to heed President Trump’s orders targeting diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

 

The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes and scientific research, among many other topics. Doctors, researchers and other professionals often rely on such government data and advisories."

Trump is genuinely an idiot running the country. Like an extremely low IQ individual. Bush was dumb in his ways but this is another level. Fascinating to watch him with even less guard rails

The biggest grift is the fact the GOP explodes the deficit every time they gain control of congress and the Whitehouse. They want $4.5T worth of tax cuts for the wealthy. Guess who pays for that? the

You mean Big Balls doesn’t have the education and experience to tackle the largest taxation organization in the world?

 

I mean, it's obvious.

 

I participated in audits right out of college ... using a degree specialized in that, after a bunch of company training, under the guidance of multiple highly experienced people, within a established set of procedures, employed by a company that also specialized in the subject, under the jurisdiction and regulation of governmental entities.

 

The idea these bozos are just  "conducting an audit and what's wrong with audits" is just so dumb.

Computer programmers don't do audits.  That's who Musk is using.

Given they are doing most of this without transparency it's hard to say what they are actually doing, but so far I think we can piece together that they seem to be targeting finances based on ideology rather than actual value for money and using misinformation to get their cultists riled up about it, and investigating specific conspiracy theories as it relates to technology (like the ridiculous tweet where Elon complained a DB wasn't "de-duplicating" based on SSN).

 

It's not really a waste audit, it's a woke audit.

They probably also have an agenda to identify non-MAGA friendly civil servants in key positions (especially given Elon's twitter dataset for cross referencing), so they can be replaced as per project 2025.

Has anyone posted about the blatant corruption with Eric Adams and Trump?

 

Proud to say I had the guy clocked as a "Trumpy" piece of shit from the beginning!

So basically, they save him so he now owes them, and will do their bidding?

This Eric Adams case seems to beautifully capture the corruption and hypocrisy of MAGA. It's hard to take claims of fighting against politicizing the DOJ seriously when something as obvious as this happens, and straight away into the new administration too.

 

I can see why the Dans of the world surround themselves in memes and other propaganda, the reality is pretty grim and it would be pretty hard to genuinely want to stamp out this sort of stuff and remain optimistic if you didn't just ignore stuff like this. Elon and his antics are the perfect distraction (as long as you also don't care/ignore the question about the legality of them).

How long before he gets forced out? People with a sense of honor don’t last long around Trump.

Manhattan’s top federal prosecutor, Danielle Sassoon, and five high-ranking Justice Department officials resigned Thursday after she refused an order to drop corruption charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams — a stunning escalation in a dayslong standoff over the Trump administration prioritizing political aims over criminal culpability.

@Justafanmight be the only honest one that you can have a debate with.

 

Had a good laugh at researching defenses against deception.  Sounds like something pulled out of Harry Potter

Appreciate the sentiment.
