I wonder if other countries will start putting heavy duty economic sanctions on the United States, āAmerican Sanctionā certainly has a ring to it, maybe it can be in the newspeak dictionary next to āAmerican Carnage.ā I wonder how long itās been since that last happened?
Maybe if Trump really starts going full on totalitarian batshit dictator Cuba might decide to re-distance themselves from us. Would that be doubleplusgood or doubleplusungood?
We should seriously start a petition on the Whitehouse website for Trump to draw a clock with the hands at ten past five, and repeat the phrase ālemon, key, ballā, count backwards in steps of 7 from 100, etc.
Wait, since that guarantor business has been bullshit for many people both inside and outside the US, should this be posted in the positive aspects of Trump thread? Trump has managed to strip away the illusions?
ETA: And yes I do acknowledge that things will get worse.
[quote]So I work at the EPA and yeah itās as bad as you are hearing:
The entire agency is under lockdown, the website, facebook, twitter, you name it is static and canāt be updated. All reports, findings, permits and studies are frozen and not to be released. No presentations or meetings with outside groups are to be scheduled.
Any Press contacting us are to be directed to the Press Office which is also silenced and will give no response.
All grants and contracts are frozen from the contractors working on Superfund sites to grad school students working on their thesis.
We are still doing our work, writing reports, doing cancer modeling for pesticides hoping that this is temporary and we will be able to serve the public soon. But many of us are worried about an ideologically-fueled purging and if you use any federal data I advise you gather what you can now.
We have been told the website is being reworked to reflect the new administrationās policy.
Feel free to copy and paste, you all pay for the government and you should know whatās going on. I am posting this as a fellow citizen and not in any sort of official capacity."[/quote]
