    I can see Verruckterfuhrer intentionally causing so many disasters that have to be litigated he would call for suspending the 2028 presidential election.

    Noem, head of Homeland Security is going to dissolve FEMA.

    Lawmakers are trying to pass a bill to get FEMA out from under Homeland and make it an independent agency.

    Maybe they should have thought of that when they put it in Homeland in the first place.

    But then the nutjobs weren't spreading lies about FEMA then.

    This is going to be a fucking nightmare during the next natural disaster.


    FEMA set for elimination, Noem says, amid bipartisan House reform proposal

    The red states, esp those with dedicated TITR leaders, will take priority over the blue states. We've already seen how CA is being punished by Verruckterfuhrer Trump.


    *****
    We saw it under Little Bush.


    *****
    Texas has attempted to punish, with varying degrees of success, the blue counties. Harris County, where Houston is located, has been a major target for retribution.

    Fucking, hell, weaponized disaster relief.
    That is about an awful thing as I can imagine.

    Being retributive is how Republicans operate now. Trump has helped make it a matter of course.

    President Donald Trump is demanding a 'full throated apology' from Maine Gov. Janet Mills in his spat with the state over transgender athletes, implying his administration will continue to target the state unless he gets one.

    The Democratic governor got into an argument with the president during a governors’ meeting at the White House in February, telling the president 'we’ll see you in court' when he threatened to pull federal funding from the state if it failed to comply with his order to ban trans athletes from playing in women’s and girls sports.

    During his campaign Verruckterfuhrer Trump even threatened to go after people making contributions to the Democratic party & Dem candidates. I haven't heard of him actually doing this, but a man can only start so many fires in a short time period.

    Gavin Newsom is now pointing out (what should be) the obvious:
    Verruckterfuhrer Trump wants the Abrego deportation case to divert attention away from the other far more harmful actions he's taken.

    Will Verruckterfuhrer Trump face any meaningful consequences for ignoring court orders? :confused:

    There was apparently a pretty cringe Easter message.
    I haven't seen it.
    Not seeking it out. Enjoying commentary from friends who say it's a sign of him being deranged.

    Trump just FIRED every single employee at the State Department’s Office for Democracy and Human Rights.
    They were “ELIMINATED” for being “beholden to radical political ideology.”

    It looks like the announcement resulting in an absolute shitstorm (and the fact that it was illegal) made the Health and Social Services back down from their plan to make a registry of people on the autism spectrum.
    They are still going ahead with their nonsense plan to treat it like a disease and find a cure.
    No new autism registry, HHS says, walking back NIH director's claim

    Verruckterfuhrer Trump is on (actually a taped interview) Meet The Press.

    Trump is the most self-deluded politician (and person) I have ever heard, & I've been following politics since 1980.

    His wins are huge.
    His setbacks are temporary, inconsequential, & not his fault.
    His failures are nonexistent.

    Oh, on his 79th birthday, which is also the 250th anniversary of the US Army, he plans to have a military parade. Hiel Trump! :mad:

    The US embassy in Sweden sent a letter to the governing body of Stockholm, that they must cease any DEI like initiatives, or else...
    So the US embassy is trying to enforce Trump's war on DEI on foreign government, are these people actually insane?
    Naturally, Stockholm politicians regard this threat as the hollow bullying it is. Saying "It's bizarre" and indicates that the embassy doesn't have any leverage.

    The embassy people might or might not be insane, but Verruckterfuhrer Trump is definitely insane. I'm not surprised that Trump is so deluded he believes he has that kind of power, or at least influence.
