It's not an unintended effect, it's a feature. The point is exactly to remove safeguards.

Yep, that's why they, illegally, went after the Auditors General first. And the Lawyers in the military.

It's a very frightening time for employees and employers in the US, can you imagine the chaos it will create? a bit like the post office scandal here but on a massive scale!

Project 2025 is in full swing

They need to get on the streets and organise a general strike now while they still can. The future of their country is at stake.

And start the law suits

Don't worry though, Congressional Democrats will write sternly worded tweets in response.

Easy to made people redundant. Difficult to make the right people redundant and the two presidents are proving it

wandqueen.bsky.social•63 days ago

Wow -- how did this one slip through the new Right editorial staff?

tkbwcats.bsky.social•63 days ago

Yesterdays shit show in the Oval Office. Hey look over here!!!!

grandmafromblueca.bsky.social•63 days ago

Trump is planning to hand the US, over to Russia.

There has been little evidence of employees' rights as Musk continues his onslaught.
In any other democratic country this would have been stopped by the courts in an instant.

If Americans don't get moving, it will be too late

trmyerscough.bsky.social•63 days ago

If (and I know it’s a big one - doing really heavy lifting), after the next election. How much will it cost to reopen everything he’s cut and closed? Do the voters know the actual true physical monetary cost?

They are going spend four years doing this with no governance to show for

crickettehkm.bsky.social•63 days ago

Four years? You think it will only last four years??

tkbwcats.bsky.social•63 days ago

Honestly I don’t think trump will last 6 months at this rate. Someone will use the 2nd amendment or another country will do us the favor. Then we will be stuck with Vance until the midterms. Let’s hope I’m right🤞🏻

crickettehkm.bsky.social•63 days ago

Vance might be more dangerous… I’m hoping for a 7.2 earthquake under DC on the night of state of the union… fresh start.

tkbwcats.bsky.social•63 days ago

Now that would be awesome with all his cabinet picks in attendance of course!

The sort of thing you would do if you wanted to create a dictatorship

beowulf1967.bsky.social•63 days ago

It doesn't need to be called a dictatorship.... Puutty showed Trump how to have an "Elected" leader and still maintain absolute control and power ... They are buds,divying up what remains of the free world now that they've broken all the old bonds and can veto any action against the other at the UN

Hi Beowulf,
Below 👇 is a petition for radical (status-quo breaking) reform of the UN 🇺🇳 and its “Security” Council, which I believe will be of interest to you/others:
