Protest? They need to be burned to ground, ripped out by the root ball, burned again, and the ashes fired into the sun.
Jesus how do these fucking morons still support this piece of shit?
Multiple NWS radars are currently offline because parts cannot be purchased. So, yes.
If I were in the US I wouldn't be taking any commercial flights in the near future.
Hmm, just curious what you mean? Sounds great!Doesn't have to be violent, that organization could have been drowned in the bathwater when it was still a baby. There's been plenty of times when various members of our legislative or judicial branch could have taken care of it.
That will do wonders for the economy. So this is what Trump voters wanted, the total trashing of the US economy? He did campaign on a lot of it, but certainly not all of it. But of course enough of it to make any sane person say hell no.If I were in the US I wouldn't be taking any commercial flights in the near future.
It's really hard for me not to foresee the US falling into a state of increasing civil unrest due to a mix of deteriorating social services, increased unemployment, higher inflation, stolen tax money (sovereign wealth fund / crypto reserve), and whatever else
I just hope that the unrest gets targeted at the Trump administration because the GOP / social media algos / bot networks are going to attempt to steer it elsewhere towards things like culture wars, "adversarial" foreign nations, or painting the left as traitors
and I hope there is still a democratic process that can offer a possible return to normalcy
It's not critical yet because there are overlaps but yeah I expect things that don't have any redundancy to start breaking randomly across the government in the near future.

As if conservatives really give 2 shits about the constitution.
That will almost certainly never happen, but it is still worth calling for it, and elites and media outlets should be calling for it. Republicans have agency, and they should be repeatedly called out for not exercising it. It's how public opinion can be made to shift.The damn republicans need to get their shit together and impeach and convict this idiot.
Yep. It's pure stupidity: Musk implementing his totally nonsense zero-budget approach to make everyone justify every single expense. Nothing says efficiency like making people spend hours and hours justifying everything they need to do their job.That includes the FAA? Does that mean that, say, if there's a radar system or something, that is failing and needs to be replaced, it won't be?
The influencers are never going to win here: the median voter is a moron and anything wrong, rightly or wrongly, always gets blamed on the person/party in charge. Good thing Republicans have a trifecta so that they can take the full blast. (Just also need other disgruntled people to focus on the real problem of Republicans instead of always directing maximum energy at "why didn't the Dems stop this?")Most people I've seen know where to assign blame (Elon and Trump). Right wing influencers are trying to blame the "Biden economy" for what's happening and that dog is not hunting so far. Government employees who've been fired know who is doing it. Same with companies dealing with tariff fallout.
This really makes me want to read the Isaacson biography of Musk. I think I know most of the Tesla story is that he basically stole it from the founders, but did he add any value? I know zilch about his other companies.That will almost certainly never happen, but it is still worth calling for it, and elites and media outlets should be calling for it.

But only the guns part. Not the part about maintaining freedom or anything like that.Only the 2A.

I did read Insanely Great, the biography of Steve Jobs written by Isaacson and I thought it was pretty good.
If you can judge a book by its title I’m all in! Awesome! But that story was all over the news. I missed much about Space x or Neura link or Starlink.Character Limit is probably more pertinent to what is going on now.

The states they operate out of could have been investigating them, and use those investigations to root out all their supporters. Dems should have shanghaied the 'deep state' narrative and pegged it directly on these orgs (there's more than just the heritage foundation).Hmm, just curious what you mean? Sounds great!
Their lust for power has obscured their foresight and critical thinking. They forget how things work for people like them in a dictatorship if they happen to become inconvenient.The damn republicans need to get their shit together and impeach and convict this idiot.
pcgeek11: I didn't vote for him, what are you talking about?what's an illegal protest?
also, since when does POTUS have authority to expel students at public and private universities?
maybe @pcgeek11 or @Greenman can comment on this complete overtake of federal power? Surely that's what they meant by "small government" when they happily voted for the first US King, right?
Non-zero chance civil unrest is the goal, to provide an excuse to impose martial law. Not saying it's a good plan, but there's certainly been signaling of that desire, and this could be the mechanism.It's really hard for me not to foresee the US falling into a state of increasing civil unrest due to a mix of deteriorating social services, increased unemployment, higher inflation, stolen tax money (sovereign wealth fund / crypto reserve), and whatever else

Well, maybe not 2A for everybody, wait and see on that front...Only the 2A.
Grew up with government pens all over my house.Reminds me of being in the civil service, and hearing about the 'bad old days' where before you could get a new ball-point-pen from the stationary cupboard you had to hand in the old one that had run out, and fill in a form. (The old guys may have been exaggerating.)
This is dumb. These people feel betrayed but they aren’t traitors.
2029 when hopefully a Dem can clean house, those idiots will go to Russia though
As much as we blame the 77 million that voted for him. It’s the 8 million that decided to stay home after voting for Biden that should be ashamedwe will see what the landscape looks like in 2 years
I saw the 2024 presidential election as the opportunity for the US to reject Trump and effectively kill MAGAism, but instead I find out that the majority of the US voter base either welcomed it back or did not care enough to prevent it
