Trump FREEZING all federal money to just about all programs like WIC, like VA help for homeless, like Medicaid and dozens of other programs SHUT DOWN RIGHT NOW.
AND following Curtis Yarvin RAGE, Retire All Government Employees.
So as of TODAY, RIGHT NOW, Trump is calling on ALL fed employees to retire, get a nice bonus check for retiring but come Feb first, all bets are off.
This is as serious a threat to democracy as anytime in the Civil War.
Even WW1 and WW2 there was not a direct threat to democracy as it is now.
Left and right wings need to ban together RIGHT NOW or we may in fact RIGHT NOW lose our democracy.
Trump and Vance BOTH need to be impeached and RIGHT NOW. That would make Mike Johnson POTUS, a real Christian Nationalist but he would not want to actually make the US a LITERAL dictatorship.
We need to stop left and right quibbling and ban together unless you feel democracy is thing of the past in the US.
If you do, there WILL be backlash.
@sonhouse
This just shows how abysmally incompetent Trump and his lackeys are. They really have no idea how to govern, or even how to intelligently assess what various federal programs actually do, so they just start swinging an axe at everything, and promise to get around to sorting it out later. Pure stupidity is what it is, with no guardrails or checks. And the harms caused by the axe are undeniable. Humanitarian harm, and yes, fiscal harm also. Interrupting the flow of everyday government business will cost billions of dollars, as government shutdowns of the past have already demonstrated.
This is, without exaggeration, disruption on a mass scale that Chinese and Russian hackers could only dream of inflicting on the nation. The enemy truly is among us, and it is Trump and the GOP.
The apologists will be tramping in here soon enough with the usual excuses, of course, because as with every fascist movement throughout history there is a legion of brainwashed idiots out there who truly believe the glorious Thousand Year Reich is just around the corner.
It will all end in fire.

🙂 A Federal judge has stopped it; for now anyway.
@sonhouse
And yes, if there is to be any democracy left to save, then I should hope by the summer that mass demonstrations across the nation involving tens of millions will rise up and shut the entire country down, except for essential humanitarian services, until the entire gang of fascist vermin infesting the White House is removed from power. Whatever it takes!
We are approaching the End Game.
@KingDavid403 saidMore good news: there were special elections in Iowa and Minnesota today, and the full power of a cult of personality was felt through its absence.

In Iowa Senate District 35, which Trump won by 21 points last year, a Democrat won. This flips a seat previously held by a Republican.
Meanwhile, in Minnesota Senate District 60, which Harris won by 68 points, a Democrat has won by over 82 points. This gives Democrats control of the Minnesota state senate.
Trump will be gone inside four years, and maybe in much less time. The GOP is sick to the core, and will remains so after the orange blight is consigned to oblivion, but without that cult of personality I do expect a catastrophic collapse of the Republican party and a general political realignment. Unless the nation splinters to pieces first, of course.
@Soothfast saidSounds to me like the next step is Trump declaring martial law.

Then the question will be can our military stage a military coup? Would they have the BALLS to do that? Arrest Trump AND Vance as traitors which at least Trump is.
@KingDavid403 saidPartially stopped, there are a LOT of people in dire need now school lunches no longer happening and a lot of other things stopped that the judge didn't get to.

@Sleepyguy saidAnd how is that working out for your big orange turd? LOL... I'm suspecting an impeachment is around the corner, if he does not straighten his worthless orange turd arse up as of yesterday.
I was picturing it more like "Hulk smash."
@sonhouse saidI have not heard about it on the nightly news.
Partially stopped, there are a LOT of people in dire need now school lunches no longer happening and a lot of other things stopped that the judge didn't get to.
If it is causing so many problems why is it missing from the Trump hating corporate news networks?
@Metal-Brain saidIt has been in all the news

Not on the TV nightly news. If it was important it would be on NBC Nightly News.
