2025 MAGAt Presidency First Days / First Week in Office Insanity Thread

I hope it didn’t cost her her retirement benefits like they tried to do to that guy days before his retirement in his first administration. Was simply mean spirited
Comes under Dep of Homeland Security, Pete Heg has nothing to do with it. She diverted funding to DEI, lacking transparency on sexual assault issues, failed to meet recruitment numbers, excessive cost overruns and border security. More generals and Admirals to follow.

I doubt she loses her pension.
 
Georgia's "pick me!" attention-whore Congressional representative (no NOT MTG, the up-and-coming chud Mike Collins) put out a press release saying we should immediately deport Reverend Budde to quote "wherever the hell country she comes from".

The Trumpists have begun the slow steady march to American fascism, but the road is not easy with REAL Americans like Reverend Budde fighting them every step of the way.

Edit: spellling.
 
Tesla Hacked As Electric Cars Targeted In $1 Million Hacking Spree


Multiple teams of elite hackers took part in the first Pwn2Own hacking event to focus solely on the automotive sector. The hackers gathered in Tokyo during the Automotive World conference with more than $1 million in bounty payments on offer. Tesla, being the first name most people think of when talking about electric vehicles, was successfully hacked twice by the same hackers, Team Synacktiv, who also won the overall competition and pocketed $450,000.

I wasn’t concerned about the who, but the timing

She diverted funding to DEI, lacking transparency on sexual assault issues, failed to meet recruitment numbers, excessive cost overruns and border security. More generals and Admirals to follow.
The DEI funding was supported from the top down. The other stuff are certainly a concern. But probably the real reason she was relieved of was because Biden installed her and he likes acting heads because they’re more malleable

I doubt she loses her pension.
Hope not after the time she put in
 
I thought it was a wee bit unusual that the Trump administration publicly announced that effective immediately, it was discontinuing Secret Service protection for former Trump NSA director John Bolton

On one hand, I immediately recognized the action for what it was: a dogwhistle to the MAGA faithful that the heretical Bolton was now "fair game".

I was genuinely curious, though, as to why someone who had been out of office for over five years still merited a Secret Service detail. The NY Times said that President Joe Biden kept SS protection in place because of "credible threats of assassination by Iranian nationalists".

Huh, go figure.
 
Doddering Donnie threw a tantrum. It appears that some banks turned down loans for him or for someone in his family …

U.S. President Donald Trump, addressing the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, via video link on Thursday, accused the CEOs of Bank of America and JPMorgan Chase of not providing banking services to conservatives, but offered no evidence or specifics of any wrongdoing.

"I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives, because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America. ... what you're doing is wrong," Trump said during a question and answer session with corporate leaders and CEOs, who were assembled on stage.

A rant with no supporting evidence? Are we sure that Chad and Chloe aren’t Trump’s usernames? 😄 Totally Fact-Free Trump!

He seemed quite grumpy this morning. I know he's a teetotaler but perhaps the adrenaline high of inauguration has finally worn off?

I know he's had a lot on his plate this week. He's managed to re-classify every single woman, along with every single non-white male, as a "DEI hire". That's quite an accomplishment.
 
Trump tried to keep his promise to end birthright citizenship, and the courts immediately shut him down.

IF she had been fired for incompetance, lacking transparency on sexual assault, and so on- then by all means she deserved firing.

However, that was not the real reason she was fired. She was fired because she was female and black- that was the real reason; the other stuff was just an excuse. Had she been even MORE incompetant (but white and/or male and sucking up to the current leader) she would have been given a raise. We all know this- even you.
 
I don't know much, I admit, about Bernie Sanders, although I'm sure one of the US contributors will enlighten me, but he seemed vaguely reasonable to me.
Sanders calls himself a socialist, but he's really a social democrat -- wants a redistributive tax system and a vigorous welfare state within capitalism, like the social democracies of Europe.
