He got the Latino evangelical men to vote for him. Can give them a pass because they're already incredibly stupid and only want abortion to be banned.

An abortion ban in Mexico, after he deports them ?

Anyway, I thought the “GO HOME” message on the website was a nice touch.

Putting an end to remote working for federal staff. Probably not an entirely bad idea tbh although there will be huge disobedience while people are forced to adjust.

The fun irony is he signed it in the White House, which is his official residence now, where he has a kitchen (with chef on duty 24/7) and bedroom that he can use anytime he wants during the day. Exactly what employees won’t be able to have any more.

Disobedience? Aren’t US employment laws pretty shitty? I can see mr musk helping with the same tactics used at Twitter. Put up or get out.

Yeah, but there’s some strength in numbers here. If say a million people resist & disobey while also working to rule it will stop an awful lot of other stuff happening (donold doesn’t personally do any anything, it relies on millions of federal employees to make it work) and take forever to work through the disciplinaries while BAU grinds to a halt.

This sounds optimistic perhaps. I’ll say this - while a lot people might have been ambivalent about electing a felon rapist conman as president, they’ll be dcuking pissed about having to go back to the office full time.

Fair Play to her...

I expect her to be arrested on her way home with half a Kilo to Meth in the trunk of her car

Woah, already imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico from the 1st of February. Didn't even negotiate.

For clarity, I regularly chat with about two dozen LGBTQs in the US.
“In the name of our God, I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now,” said Budde, who was looking directly at the president. “There are gay, lesbian and transgender children in Democratic, Republican and independent families. Some who fear for their lives.”
This is not an exaggeration.

From the article:
When Budde finished her sermon, Trump leaned over to say something to Vance, who shook his head in response.
That was donold asking "wasn't the nice pastor from yesterday available, the one with the crypto scam ?"

But not China ? All the anti-China rhetoric was transparent lies and simply giving him 50% ownership of TikTok was all they had to do ? Gosh.

I mean, they knew what to expect. It's the Gays for Trump who are about to get a shock when they start rolling back gay marriage.

Trumps tariffs on China from his first presidency are still in force and Biden even added to them. Ironically the tariffs Biden implemented on Chinese EVs and solar greatly benefit Elon.

Not the point, I'm not arguing whether tariffs are good or bad. He said he was going to expand the Chinese tariffs further then suddenly isn't because they're giving him 50% ownership of TikTok and blocking content he doesn't like. Meanwhile he's carrying on with his threats against Canada & Mexico simply because they won't give him a wowwipop.

“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time”

Seems pretty apt huh?

They've had Trump 1.0, we've had months of KNOWING what the he'd do if he got back into power, and now people are all 'surprised Pikachu face' when he does it? Christ on a bike.

That’s not irony, it’s the system working as expected.

He's still not understanding that "asylum seekers" <> "asylum patients" is he ? :roll:

Just for that sermon she's more deserving of a Nobel Peace Prize than he is or ever will be. Saying all of that, very eloquently, right to his face, she has more balls than donold & his cabinet combined.
