    Trump the Imbecile manages to screw up the entire federal government e-mail system, with a little help from the Muskrat. Making the federal government more efficient, one spam e-mail at a time. Any idiot outside of government can send out messages to entire departments in the gov't.

    Trump Broke the Federal Email System and Government Employees Got Blasted With Astonishingly Vulgar Messages

    The new Trump federal government is urging federal employees to turn in other federal employees to help them keep their own jobs. Employees describe their work lives as "fear and chaos", as Trump tries to push federal employees out of their jobs. Clearly, Trump does not know what he's doing. This will not help productivity.

    'Fear' and 'chaos' grip federal workers as Trump rapidly remakes the government

    I think the "b" in the username is a typo.

    At least for some of the actions, they’re clearly intended to get a court opinion.

    As I noted in the IG firing thread, there’s a good argument that the statute everyone is fussing about him violating is facially unconstitutional, and - particularly since the most recent amendment was passed explicitly to curtail powers he exercised in his first term - I have no doubt that at least his legal advisors welcome the opportunity to go get it struck down.

    Doing something that will get someone to sue you under a law that you think is unconstitutional
    to give a court the opportunity to agree with you isn’t exactly a new trick. Florida essentially did exactly that with the Fair Districts Amendment in the last round of redistricting, and lawyers working for the new administration are definitely familiar with that strategy.

    Interesting insight. Does it not seem noteworthy, though, that Donald Trump is the one who clearly has a huge amount of issues with both norms and oversight policies that no other President ever seemed to have?

    Particularly when on bears in mind that Donald Trump is a criminal?

    Are we really supposed to believe that after all these years of our government functioning, Donald Trump just wants to ..... make things better?

    Everybody knew what they were getting in Trump and they chose him over what the democrats offered.

    You can keep calling him a criminal but that strategy didn't work. Voters saw right thru it.

    Everyone chose Trump? Wow. That was some serious election fraud by Dems to make it look like 49% of people didnt. I’m outraged.

    Trump was literally the worst major party candidate available, with the possible exception of a woman who was totally unprepared to run for office (and had no idea she was going to run for president until a few months before the election) and was appointed to her present job as much for her gender and skin color as her limited qualifications as a senator. Basically, Trump conned half the nation (presumably, the gullible half) that his many felonies and lawsuit losses were caused by political grievances against him and not by his criminal behavior. Trump was dominated and humiliated by Harris in the debate, and cowered in fear at the thought of a second debate. However, he conned his gullible followers that he heroically dodged a second debate because moderators were unwilling to let him tell lies without challenging them, so he would only be able to debate in a truth-free environment. Lies are truth, up is down, Haitians eat house pets, and insurrectionists are patriots, not terrorists. We just have one more bridge to cross: democracy is dictatorship. As the Brits would say, a bridge too far.

    Calling Trump a criminal isn’t a strategy, it’s a fact. Tried, convicted by a jury of his peers, and sentenced. Game Set Match.

    He’s actually correct in a way that people voted for him in spite of his plans. We can’t blame Trump because he told voters exactly what he was going to do. No one should be surprised over his insane plans from project 2025 he’s putting into practice.

    Hotdog combo at Sam’s club was $1.38 and a head of cabbage at Walmart market was 79 cents. Prices are going down.

    Trump is going to screw its up with all his tariffs, EOs, and such.
