A slow judicial branch let trump take the presidency again. A slow enough judicial branch will render itself irrelevant.
Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

A lot of necks get chopped by a fast judicial branch.
The judicial branch had four years to do something about him inciting Jan 6th, and yet he's back in the Oval Office. Anyone else who started a riot in the nation's capitol would've been thrown in a cell as soon as they could be picked up, and he had Secret Service agents glued to him who could've grabbed him, but nothing happened. It is entirely understandable to have no faith in them now.
This is an unprecedented situation, so anything is possible. But I have little hope left for anything but the grim reaper putting a stop to him.

'It's insane': Trump moves to abolish Presidio Trust through executive order
The federal agency was established by Congress in 1996 to oversee the 1,500-acre San Francisco park.

And Trump continues to try to close congressionally-established agencies. This has to be him just trying to flex power for his ego. He HAS Congressional majorities(if slim) and isn't even trying to go that route to close them, even though there's no reason not to.
Also from this thread, looks like a lot of embassies may be closing in the near future: https://goblin.band/notes/a4g6oxowdusg0uui
tl;dr Trump admin sent demands that US embassies terminate contracts with any providers who have a "DEI program" in their hiring. Those local providers are bound to their local laws which require such. So basically if they follow through, a bunch of embassies are going to possibly lose things such as electricity and water, not to mention in some countries making such demands alone is illegal.
*late edit*
Also another new executive order from yesterday that looks to be an excuse to try to bin any regulations he doesn't like: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presiden...-government-efficiency-regulatory-initiative/
Combined with the one from Tuesday, clearly this is an attempt to force all regulations to be rewritten to favor whatever he wants. Guess a whole bunch of agencies are going to have to start enforcing statutes directly, because with -every- new regulation requiring White House approval and every regulation probably intending to be brought into question, the AG just got signed up for WAY more work than he probably expected. Especially after the courts start throwing out the rewritten regulations and tell them to go rewrite them because they aren't properly implementing the statutes in question. There's a REASON the regulation writing process takes so long that they're about to FAFO with.

Senate confirms Kash Patel as FBI director

I actually don't know anything about Kash Patel and don't mean to go look. Nothing can be a surprise after RFK Jr. I have GENERALLY felt there isn't much point in raising a fuss about cabinet picks. We already elected the President and they're going to do what he wants or get fired. Might as well let it be the person he wants. But RFK was a stunningly bad pick and he got through. So Kash Patel will run the FBI. Is he a convicted felon? His boss is.
I'm only surprised that Patel, like Hegseth before him, had a harder time getting confirmed than RFK Jr.Try to act surprised.

Because they're listening to Trump and not you, Mr. Leech. Like, in both cases we have an audience being told "Can you believe how transparently stupid and evil these people are?" and going "Yes actually because we've believed they're that transparently evil for years now," and the only difference is that one of those groups happens to be right.
Weird part is that the straight read of both has Trump closer to the the truth. Elon presents it a payment for social deception. He's too smart to believe that. He's lying. Trump presents it as studying social deception, which is what it is. He seems to be truthful and just irritated because he think it is a waste of money. He probably never even knew about it or it wouldn't have been done.
I think this explains an odd comment that a stranger threw at me today on Facebook. He said I was spouting misinformation and couldn't back it up. I backed it up with a couple of articles and he said the source for one of them was being paid by a party. I figured he just meant USAToday or NBC were liberal biased, but actually one of the articles quotes Reuters.

I just read Trump's version as his typical "they are spending lots of money to attack me!" and of course he doesn't like that, so he tells everyone that it's corrupt to do things like that.
That's not the way I was hoping DeJoy would get removed.
I guess that's the new play. If you can't privatize because of pesky things like Congress or the Constitution, then take it over, cut all services, and run it into the ground.
And, I just saw a news report saying a former intelligence worker is claiming that Trump was recruited as a russian asset and continues to be. Considering his actions, I wouldn't be surprised, but I want to see the evidence of this. If there is, his removal should be the only thing Congress does before anything else.

Would You Get A Trump DOGE Dividend Check? You May Be Shocked By Who Doesn’t Qualify
Will you qualify for a Trump DOGE Dividend? The answer may not be as politically advantageous for President Trump as he might hope.
www.forbes.com
Yeah yeah, clickbait headline, but I heard this was being talked about yesterday from a coworker. tl;dr:
- Musk and Trump are talking about giving out checks like the COVID stimulus checks, possibly up to $5000, based off the DOGE cuts.
- What's been discussed is that it would only go to households that -paid- federal income tax, under the logic this would reduce any inflation from it compared to 2020 because households that pay taxes are more likely to save and pay off debt rather than spend.
- This would amount to a couple trillion in cost, even though they've come nowhere near to that even in their supposed savings.
- So far Trump is in favor of it.
- Because it requires paying Federal tax to qualify under the current proposal, any household that was poor enough to not pay tax wouldn't get it e.g. a Household that makes $10k or less annually
- It probably wouldn't end up at the proposed $5k either
I mean, it makes a sort of sense laid out that way. Why does anyone really care that they are cutting out wasteful spending if that doesn't mean I am going to get the unwasted money back? I think a typical red hat is expecting a rebate and a dramatic shrinking of their tax bill. They're only living paycheck to paycheck because the government has been taking their money and wasting it. I don't think many redhats are going to be satisfied just that the national debt won't go up as fast as it would have.
But haven't they been hammering us with the "fact" that Biden's $1200 stimulus (proposed by Trump who said it should be bigger but followed through by Biden) created the worst inflation in the history of the universe except the Big Bang? A check 4 times that big will be fine?
The biggest barrier is math. To get to $5000 they need to find 100 times what their inflated announcements have found so far. And when I look at their announcements now and then, a lot of it looks like things that happened once a few years ago and while I can see how it makes an interesting story you can't count it is savings. It was spent and was never intended to be spent again. And strangers on Facebook keep saying they are only getting started, but they are only getting started in the places that look most likely. The discovery rate is going to go down, not up. They are going to top out under $100 billion in actual savings and that number is going to amaze red hats, but it isn't going to mean we don't need income tax anymore. It is so little that normal economic fluctuations amount to that much tax revenue any given year. It doesn't even justify changing the rates or brackets.

You can find this stuff on the internet. You don't have to hack the treasury. It verifies everything in the white box. The contract was awarded to "Thomson Reuters Special Services LLC". There just isn't any possible way that Elon thought that was the news organization. I find it insulting that his lies are so easy to uncover. I don't think he even cares.
