Not to Putin, it isn’t dangerous. It’s treason, not carelessness, and intended to deliver us up to our enemies.

Funny, NY Times didn’t seem at all concerned about Trump’s dangerous incompetence–or his criminality–before the election.

What a disingenuous piece of shit. Fuck off NY Times. You ARE part of the problem.

He NEEDS instability and threats. His entire political existence is based on fear and hate. And there’s no greater hate than for someone you genuinely fear. And when you are being driven by fear and hate you make irrational decisions. Like voting for a rapist.
He would LOVE nothing more than some terrorist attacks this year. His flock would hand him whatever power he asked for. He’s the fucking devil and they’re too scared to have faith in anything good.

From the article;
“Once we view the matter from this perspective, it’s much easier to understand why Mr. Trump invited Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to drastically downsize the American state. In reality, though, government will not be downsized; it will be repurposed. Like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu, Mr. Trump aims not to streamline modern state bureaucracies, but rather to replace them with a much older form of rule based on personal loyalty to the ruler.”
An Authoritarian leader wants as complete authority as possible. We’ve already seen congress members who oppose Trump’s debt ceiling bill be threatened with primaries and Musk suspended X access for conservatives who dared disagree with a policy position. Trump 2.0 is a more extreme version than Trump 1.0.

Our allies are likely to be unwilling to share any kind of intelligence with us now that Trump is back in the WH. He is infamous for not only stealing classified documents in the hundreds when he left after his first term, but he is known to have shown them to people who were not classified to see them.
He is also infamous with being loose with classified information just in general while he was in the WH.
This time there will be no adults in the room for his administration. If you are an ally who regularly shares classified information (such as terrorist threats), why would you share sensitive information that could out your own intelligence agents and information gathering tactics?
You probably would either send information that is “compartmentalized” or otherwise not send anything at all.
Which means that attacks like the two terrorist attacks today could potentially be more frequent for the next four years. It’s shit like this that people just don’t think about when they choose to vote (or not vote).

Who needs the state funding inefficient activities like hurricane monitoring and forecasting or state agencies that prepare for and respond to disasters when Dear Leader can just get any potential disaster to bend to his will with a few strokes of a sharpie marker.

It’s by design. It don’t take a genius to see it. How would shutting down the EPA for instance benefit the people? It wouldnt, it serves the people by ensuring the corporations do not harm the public. How does gutting the NLRB help the people? It doesnt, it only serves the corporations allowing them to get closer and closer to enslaving the American people.
One thing that is not changing is the laws. We are all still required to follow all laws regardless of what the corporations are doing to us. Laws are for us and regulatory bodies are for them.

All the departments Biden appointed to look into the New Orleans attack Trump plans to gut.
Curious what folks think about that. Especially since someone used one of Trump’s hotels and a car built by one of his closest associates to blow up in an act of terror.

Trump is creating the government that all those militias have been worried about, and are arming themselves for. Unfortunately, these now are the militias that will be standing back and standing by for when the government needs them to oppress their fellow citizens.

Schedule F might be the most damaging thing to our government that no one is talking about. This is taking 50k civil servants who are experts in their field and replacing them with loyalists.
essentially changing agencies like the FBI, DOJ, EPA, FDA, CDC, IRS etc. into loyalist arms of the executive rather than independent non-political agencies.
Imagine Covid, but instead of Fauci its a loyalist to Trump with no background in science. This is the kind of stuff we make fun of 3rd world dictatorships for.
