He's really gunning for California... spreading outright lies to try to get Newsom out and get a Republican reptile in. California is probably the state that kicks the most money up to the federal government. They also have key industry and food production too. He wants to control it, but Republicans will never take California honestly.

The FTC finalized the "Click to Cancel" rule that was set to take affect soon. The purpose is to make it as easy to cancel something as it was to signup - companies do everything they can to make it as difficult as possible to cancel services and subscriptions, like requiring a certified letter, because they know a lot of people will just give up and keep paying. But Trump's pick to lead the FTC opposes the rule (because it doesn't favor corporations over individuals) so it is unlikely to happen.

They are blatant assholes. People know what that kind of salute means but they are basically saying they are doing all this stuff and there's nothing you can do about it. Once they get more people replaced with loyalists there will be nobody to stop them.
Yes, those chimps that put Trump in power have royally fucked America. They will get the government they deserve, but those that don't deserve it will get it too. So will those that had no say in it (other nations). How generous of them to unleash this monster on the world.
Stupidity should be a crime, because it is dangerous to everyone around it.

He's also renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. It's been known as the Gulf of Mexico since the 1540's.

I think if you look at a map, more of it is surrounded by Mexico than the U.S. too. He's just doing that to be a cunt. The more outrageous things he does, the greater the distraction for destroying the institutions of the nation, and picking people's pockets until they die.

Day One: He's withdrawn from the World Health Organization, so he can blame them for his pandemic mishandling. That's a kick in the nuts to science. He'll be breaking more alliances so America can stand alone to make enemies.
Day Two: Blanket pardons for 1500 January 6th traitors, including the violent ones that injured and killed police, and the ring leaders of the militias. The big police unions that endorsed him are now... crickets. He's creating a paramilitary arm to go to war with half the country. There's also a pious thug, Ed Martin the leader of Stop the Steal, who rallied the "Rod of Iron Ministries" (they worship with assault rifles) that's the acting DC district attorney that's making legal motions to not only pardon, but dismiss the charges.

The American people were warned and warned and warned what kind of filth he is. His own niece who knows him personally said he is the only person she has ever met that has not a single redeeming quality. He's now openly admitted that he got Musk's help to manipulate the election result. There is at this point no excuse for supporting him. If someone voted for Trump they are quite simply human garbage and deserve to be treated like the nazi fucks they are.

Oh look, that video you posted yesterday has been taken down. Musk must have threatened to sue MSNBC, or a threat came from the fuhrer.
I'm going to be generous here and say that a lot of people were conned. They fixate on one issue that Trump lied to them about, or listened to their pastors and ministers. Also, he told different groups of people different things and the media didn't expose his lies. Once you think of them as actors and agents, rather than journalists, the complicit media talking heads aren't so surprising.
Mary Trump recently called her uncle a "creature". As in, the same system that allows a man from modest beginnings from Scranton Pennsylvania (Biden) to become President, allows for a creature like Donald Trump etc. I hope she watches her back.

It's what Trump wants, he's not lost or confused. He wants to start little wars, to pit little people against each other while he rapes the nation. He'll burn the country to the ground as long as he gets to be a dictator and increase his fortunes before he dies... and he'll never be held accountable in his lifetime.
He's also isolating the U.S. from their allies, to justify being hostile.

Well, WORSE than that, even. He said it's because they are "DEI hires" implying that women, gays and black people etc. aren't qualified. He also fired air safety officials. The bottom line is this happened on HIS watch (whether that's actually to blame or not). Blaming Obama, Biden, Pete Buttigieg, the FAA and everyone but Donald Trump. An executive memo:
From the office of the Orange Ignoranus:
"problematic and likely illegal decisions during the Obama and Biden Administrations that minimized merit and competence in the Federal Aviation Administration”
Without naming any of these decisions or actions, of course.
The real blame likely lies with the helicopter pilot. What was a military helicopter doing flying in that airspace. I heard the last thing that happened was they were warned "do you see that airliner".

When he was in his thirties his own mother described him as a petulant ten year old. That seems consistent, except now he has advancing dementia.

... and has consolidated very dangerous power, which makes his dementia all the more dangerous. Any agency that could stop him has been gutted and staffed by sycophants. The judiciary is almost there too.
I don't like to propagate conspiracy theories, but I find it really odd that "90 million" Americans didn't vote in that very important election, too. Voter suppression for sure, but how many Americans would know their votes were thrown out at some level of processing? Maybe mail-in voters would, but most wouldn't know what happened to their votes downstream from the voting machines. Again, anybody that could investigate this is gone.

It took Hitler just over a month to seize absolute power in Germany. Trump and Musk look like they're following the same playbook.

The things they have been doing are literally text book. People are just letting them walk right in to it.
It does not surprise me. When he said things like "You'll never have to vote again" and "I don't need your votes, I have enough votes" it chilled me to the bone.

What's scary is the number of people who think he'll do his four years and leave. He's already pushing to amend the constitution to give himself another term if not longer. Musk is being allowed to put himself in control of everything and steal every last byte of people's private information.
I think I said before, it took Hitler 45 days to take total control and remove all opposition. It took Hitler six years before he invaded Poland but Trump is already talking about expansion and annexing Canada and Greenland.
At the rate he's going someone will have to put a bullet in him and Musk to stop them. A real attempt this time, not like the fake one.

He's fixing to cause enough chaos to declare martial law, I think.
Hobbling the CIA will allow terrorist attacks to happen with no warning, and hobbling the FBI and DHS will leave... only the military to take action domestically.
As I've also said, he also wants to alienate allies so he can wield a big stick against the world, too.
