    Before you go, mix a laxative into the sugar for the coffee.

    This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.

          We aren’t lifelong friends, so no need for him to throw me under the bus to protect his Minecraft Movie payday.

            Y’know, when you put it like that, it kinda makes Jack look just a little bad. A small smidge of oops, there.

      It will also remove any worries about accidentally harming innocents when a mob storms the white house and rips them all apart

        I wonder if anyone has ever realistically gamed out how just how big a mob it would take to get into someplace that well protected.

        Not like when the 3 y/o ran through the fence or anything, like to brute force inside the actual important side of the Whitehouse.

        It’s nothing like the Capital building, that’s for sure.

    At this point I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.

      Just go to the project 2025 progress website. All of this was preplanned.

      Great word. FWIW “kakken” is a Dutch word for defecating. It’s not as crude as “schijten”, maybe more like “to (take a) crap”.

      To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that’s the case he’s looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.

      That would be in line with both the headline and his role model from the 1940s with the moustache.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
