Firings and hiring freezes - what could go wrong

The bully blinked. The walls must be covered in ketchup

Is this chaos from Trump and Hegseth responsible for the plane crash with the Army helicopter last night? Why was the Army helicopter flying in the flight path into Reagan?

Also, this will give you some answers to your questions:

I genuinely don’t believe so.

But their incompetent and bumbling response to the incident will be entirely on them!

bonnyd.bsky.social•83 days ago

It sure points out the consequences of fear and chaos, even if they were not in play in this case. It sure can't help to spread the workforce too thin and wipeout morale. I don't want air traffic control under greater stress, ffs.

That's the point of it all, isn't it? To rain down retribution & punishment on a society that majorly, rejected & laughed at him.

mcc49.bsky.social•83 days ago

Yes! You can see it in their eyes - Trump, Vance and the Cabinet appointees. They are seething with rage against the people.

That was the intention

Rachel’s word of the night … shambolic!

I'll admit, I had to look that one up! It's a great word!

It’s all part of the plan they’ve been putting together for years. Trump is just their pawn. They want us all to direct our anger at him, and not see the bigger picture.

neeterz.bsky.social•83 days ago

And he's so stupid that he can see what's going on. He just wanted to stay out of jail. And I bet they could have wrote Mother Goose Rhymes in those "executive orders" folders and he wouldn't know the difference. Because the fool can't read.

blupeople2.bsky.social•83 days ago

Totally agree,& have for years… long before the DOWNWARD Escalator Ride. I refer to IT… THE WORM. & yes THE WORM. Knew the right let the Orange Pawn loose. GREED attribute to QUAL Trumps is top pick for that! The WORM is boring holes everyday in our Democracy.❗️

juleslebo69.bsky.social•83 days ago

He’s the perfect puppet for them. Greedy, white, infamous fascist who appeals to the uneducated. We need to quit giving him attention and direct our attention to THEM.

Cruelty has always been the point of maga. As children, these are the people that pulled wings off of flies.
Especially cruel is the pain inflicted on Trans children and parents. Defies reason

tink51.bsky.social•83 days ago

It is horrible when sadism and incompetence team up.

mulemama.bsky.social•82 days ago

...such a unique way to lower the cost of living & price of eggs...

drgeophysics.bsky.social•83 days ago

Destroying American democracy and American soft power are the only Republican Party goals. That’s been clear for a while eh?

celebrindan.bsky.social•83 days ago

Those two character traits are paired more often than not.

Was it just in the past that South Korean president was impeached for doing similar tactics, let’s get started here

easymadam.bsky.social•83 days ago

He’s the “queen” of the deliberate 180 and sadistic.

rarelightmare.com•83 days ago

Hey Prof…it’d be hella appreciated if we could get a legal brief to find out how these edicts of malice led to deaths.

rarelightmare.com•83 days ago

I suspect the people who would have standing and could bring such a case against Supremacy Court, Trump and his admin would be elected officials who actually wrote the laws of protection against all intentional malice by other elected officials harming with willful intent egregious criminal harms.

dellastreetresists.bsky.social•83 days ago

What a scorched earth nightmare.

psychicdee.bsky.social•83 days ago

Trump is a malignant narcissist ...his specialty is sadism

mphamner.bsky.social•83 days ago

Chaos by design!

dfowler.bsky.social•83 days ago

Accurate.

xine08003.bsky.social•83 days ago

Sadism is the exact word. My brain feels like it's being overwhelmed by just watching an hour of news. And he's enjoying all the attention and chaos.
