Trumps master plan to stiff his Americaās creditors is ā¦ working?
From @xeni and a responder, relevant to this thread. Personally, Iām feeling really overwhelmed at the number of thrusts to track. It does seem like a blitzkrieg attack.
āShock and Shut Downā?
That sucks. Iāve been fucked over by the shutdown in 2013. I am not looking forward to this at all.
Forget the half-onion, accounts like this need to have more followers than Herr Drumpf
Edit:
The Badlands one is a bit more fun:
So, how long before there are new laws to clamp down on this sort of thing?
Our good friend and neighbor is a geologist. He works for a private firm but itās all EPA driven. He said heās fucked.
Iām scared. I am not afraid to say it. But Iām scared. Itās only going to get worse.
And the worst part is, people keep telling me āthat canāt happen hereā. Fascist regimes happen. All the time. The US isnāt exceptional. It can happen here.
Hitler didnāt seize power in a coup. He was elected. It happens over and over. And I canāt stand the āgive him a chanceā crowd. Or the āwell thereās nothing we can doā people or the āyouāre over reacting, stop being so scared, weāll get through thisā morons.
If we stand idly by, then America is lost.

Trump is going to Lose. His. Shit!
The Petitions section on the Whitehouse website is apparently now broken? This petition to ungag the EPA is showing that it needs 99,999 signatures. Sign it if you agree, and see whether the signature count increases?

The short URLs for the petition are 404d.
Also, I wasnāt counted.
Fucking fascists.
Itās just alternative addition.
I said it before, Iāll say it again;
#Donāt file or pay income taxes this year.
They wont stop and they wont listen unless we hit them where it hurts; the pocket.
According to Ehlers, the new rule means that rather than impacting $600 million in U.S. foreign aid, the global gag rule will affect $9.5 billion. Organizations working on AIDS, malaria, or maternal and child health will have to make sure that none of their programs involves so much as an abortion referral. Geeta Rao Gupta, a senior fellow at the United Nations Foundation who previously served as deputy executive director of UNICEF, gives the example of HIV/AIDS clinics that get U.S. funding to provide antiretrovirals: āIf theyāre giving advice to women on what to do if theyāre pregnant and HIV positive, giving them all the options that exist, they cannot now receive money from the U.S.ā
FFS.
See, I donāt think thatās a tRump inspired move.
And thatās why getting rid of him wouldnāt be that productive. Pence would be worse in many ways.
And can you imagine how much of the aid budget is going to be wasted on audits to make sure there isnāt āso much as an abortion referralā anywhere? Not only will a lot less organisations receive funding, the ones that do will have to offer crippled services, and a significant fraction of the funds they do receive will be wasted proving that every sperm remains sacred, lest god get quite irate.
:mad:
What a hate filled, spiteful bunch of pricks.
