From @xeni and a responder, relevant to this thread. Personally, Iā€™m feeling really overwhelmed at the number of thrusts to track. It does seem like a blitzkrieg attack.

ā€œShock and Shut Downā€?

That sucks. Iā€™ve 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 itā€™s all EPA driven. He said heā€™s fucked.

Iā€™m scared. I am not afraid to say it. But Iā€™m scared. Itā€™s only going to get worse.

And the worst part is, people keep telling me ā€œthat canā€™t happen hereā€. Fascist regimes happen. All the time. The US isnā€™t exceptional. It can happen here.

Hitler didnā€™t seize power in a coup. He was elected. It happens over and over. And I canā€™t stand the ā€œgive him a chanceā€ crowd. Or the ā€œwell thereā€™s nothing we can doā€ people or the ā€œyouā€™re over reacting, stop being so scared, weā€™ll get through thisā€ morons.

If we stand idly by, then America is lost.

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?

Also, I wasnā€™t counted.

I said it before, Iā€™ll say it again;

#Donā€™t 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: ā€œIf theyā€™re giving advice to women on what to do if theyā€™re pregnant and HIV positive, giving them all the options that exist, they cannot now receive money from the U.S.ā€

FFS.

See, I donā€™t think thatā€™s a tRump inspired move.

And thatā€™s why getting rid of him wouldnā€™t 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 isnā€™t ā€œso 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.
