Would it be wise to occupy Gaza while scuttling most federal agencies? I dunno but it seems a little ambitious... - ThreadSky

Outsource Gaza to business, just as the scuttling is being outsourced.

Just imagine to provide all that humanitarian aid and development financing, just after you dismantled the agency dedicated to do so.

jamesdaustin.bsky.social•23 days ago

They aren't going to be providing any of that

Golf courses are soft power aid, aren't they...?

Fully expecting a new penal colony on Mars to be announced any time now

I don't think wisdom is a valued commodity in this administration.

Did you just watch the Trump/Netenyahu news conference? 🤯

Not paying those fuel bills for your tanks ain't going to end well.

Their egos are running wild and there's seemingly nobody telling them to calm down. In danger of burning themselves out, which would be great

They might find some key allies in the Middle East getting very unhappy - their domestic populations are vey pro Palestine.

jamesdaustin.bsky.social•23 days ago

They will. They don't care.

These are guys who have gone to trade war with one of there oldest and closest allies for kicks and giggles

danielphilips.bsky.social•23 days ago

Going to be very lonely with no allies in the Middle East.

Yeah this is completely irrelevant to a Trump administration with dreams of empire

danielphilips.bsky.social•23 days ago

Empires have always needed allies.

Probably wouldn't want to scuttle the FBI whilst Al-Qaida is on a massive recruitment drive.

Cognitive dissonance is strong in Trump and his people.

Whispers in the President's ear: "Mr President, it looks like we are having another 9/11. Where are the secret service?"

"Last time I saw them, they were both caddying for Musk on the 11th tee."

Any potential terrorist response to the provocation can be used to justify further aggression (or even declare a convenient state of emergency)

theomnisis.bsky.social•23 days ago

This is something I was mulling over yesterday. The overreach of Musk and his DOGE tech bros boy band has lit a bit of a fire and I started to think it all felt a little deliberate. But then are they that clever?

riverlorien.bsky.social•23 days ago

Whatever their original intentions, they're definitely doing so much at once that people - inc agencies - are being overwhelmed. Any violent reaction, home or abroad, can be used as justification for using force...

theomnisis.bsky.social•23 days ago

Yep... That was the intention. Bombard / confuse...leave people overwhelmed so they don't know how to react or counter. Being able to pick one / two things and fight those and try to ignore the others is difficult to do.

Succinct and on point
