Crazy

What's also crazy is that there are people lining up saying "Surely that won't also happen to me."
- "How much money can I steal from taxpayers before I get knifed in the back?"
  
  Why does the political landscape of the supposed most powerful country in the world look more like what you'd expect if Charlie Brooker decided his next project was going to be a satirical gameshow? I want off this fucking timeline.
- "Those people were losers. I am very smart so it won't happen to me"
- His fallout with RFK JR and Musk is gonna be epic.
  
  I still haven't decided if making Leon and Vivek Co leads of DOGE is a dig at Leon or Vivek. I'm sure Leon thinks he's the "real" lead.
- actually the people coming back know that he demands loyalty. they might have to sell part of their soul to be loyal, but they know that up front and are committed to doing it.
- I never thought the leopards would eat MY face
- They are playing a different game.
  They are not swimming with sharks but are the scavengers that get the leftovers.

It's crazy that most of the country looked at that and said either "I want that" or "That's fine, I don't care".
- They didn't look at that. This is the frustrating truth we have to come to terms with. People are fucking oblivious. They vote for a single issue at most, and don't understand what they signed up for.
  
  It's almost like someone has been systematically dismantling your education system for 50 or so years so they could reach this point.
  
  It's brexit mentality. People voted for change from the status quo.
  Most don't imagine that change ~~will~~ could make their lives worse.
  
  Right, the single issue voters that picked a color (likely due to family) and kept to it the rest of their lives
  
  Yeah, oblivious sums it up. Despite all the stuff that’s happened, and all the information and video evidence that’s readily available to anybody who cares enough to look at it, their team is their team. If you fancy yourself a smart responsible Christian, especially a white one, your ignorant ass is just a Republican.
  
  This may sound controversial and no I don't have a way to implement it, but we should probably have a means to screen the knowledge of voters over the things they're voting on before they can access a ballot box.
- A large chunk of the population gets their info from Fox News and News Max etc. Many of my extended family unfortunately. They think that is reliable information and can't be convinced otherwise. When I try to bring up facts they give me this look like I'm the crazy one spreading the lies. It's a really sad state of affairs, they are genuinely good people otherwise. I think there are too many assumptions that people just wanted what we're about to get.
  
  Sorry no. If they voted for trump they’re not good people. They’re either assholes or too stupid to be making decisions for the country.
  Anyone who votes for mass deportation is not a good person. Anyone who votes to take away health care from a huge chunk of the population is also not a good person.
  
  Or they just don't watch the news entirely. There was a spike insearches on election day of 'Did Biden drop out?' These people are completely out of the loop on everything and yet voting.

Stephen fucking Miller is tapped to return. The administration is shaping up to be more detestable than I could imagine. I’m waiting to see where the bottom goes from Betsy DeVoes as secretary of edu
- I’m thinking the shaman guy for secretary of education
  
  I’ll be disappointed if he doesn’t pick him
  
  You mean the secretary of dismantling education.
- Bold of you to think there will be a DoE to need a secretary.
- Hulk Hogan for dept of education
- I'm not impressed with your imagination. It was clear as day this was going to be an absolute shit show.

.4. He didn't pay them.

In his defense, he probably has some members of his family returning to positions in the white house.

Remember when he said he knew the best people before he chose his cabinet for his first term?
- I love that his biggest criticism of Biden was that he doesn't fire anyone. Firing someone means you failed to pick the right candidate. Biden didn't fire anyone because he made good choices. Trump always has to fire people because he has no judgement of character. He just goes with whoever compliments him in that moment.
  
  as a non american in America I've come to find that's an American egregore: that firing people means you're a good leader.

I was hoping the Never Trumpers, those scorned by Trump, and the Democrats could come together and say "We can't let Trump or anyone like him happen again."
But that would have made sense...
- Feel like that on you for still having had hope

Guys not gonna lie I feel scared. I am not even American. I'm scared for all of you
- I'm super scared for women
  
  53% of white women voted trump
- I don't feel an ounce of pleasure in saying: this administration will make things worse for the whole world.

I get the first two. Who did he try to have killed?
- Mike Pence
  
  Hey, congratulations on forgetting him, anyway. Can’t wait for the day I do.
- You know how there is that meme of "Epstein didn't kill himself?"
  I'm 99% sure Trump had a hand in it due to him being held in a federal prison and having plenty of dirt on him.
  And the other was Pence on Jan. 6th when refusing to get into the secret service car until the results were certified.
  
  Ah Pence, yes
- No so much directly as encouraged his supporters to.
  Rhymes with "bang my fence"
- Must be something to AIDS with remembering him

& there's a new group ready to replace the previous group
(as if none of that ever happened).
Life IS strange.

Imagine having 3 not lead to 1.

and he killed his first choice for DOJ head: Jeffrey Epstein.
- What we need is Sacha Baron Cohen to somehow get Trump on camera, saying Epstein will be a nominee for something.

I think there are a couple of people who could return... He's still on ok terms with Roger Stone and the guy who just got out of prison, right?
- Roger will never have an official position. But he'll get paid big bucks for ratfucking.

That's the crazy part? We are so far down the crazy rabitt hole this just seems like another diaper floating in the cess pool.

We haven't heard about Ivanka and Jared yet.

Is it better that he has smart people who want to do their job well or dumb people whose biggest selling point is professed loyalty and they look good on TV
- A dumb man with a brick can still fuck up your teeth.

This was always how it was gonna end. A century of warmongering and terrorizing the rest of the world is coming home to roost.
