    I missed this back in April but Dark Brandon may have prevented Biff from firing all the federal employees like he says he wants to do. :corn:

    Biden administration locks in plans aiming to block Schedule F for good
    In an effort to prevent a Schedule F revival, OPM has published a final rule confirming workforce protections and appeals rights for career civil servants.



    Biff can repeal the rule, but measures are in place so that he must go through the agency rule-making process, which can take years. He did it by executive order the first time.

    Many measures can be taken. Disbanding agencies altogether, or relocating them to Enid, Oklahoma, perhaps.

    Prez is on now addressing the nation. "God has steered my life for a reason." What a hero.

    That does seem to be the word for the next iteration of the US government. :moreyouknow:

    Today I learned that Susie Wiles is Pat Summerall’s daughter. People treat him as a legendary broadcaster, but I know from his days in Jacksonville he was a belligerent drunk.

    Well, I hope this accelerates the migration away from the shithole to Mastodon and Bluesky until the Nazis don't have anyone left to play with.

    Bluesky has something like 14 million users now. Yeah, Twitter's dying. All that's left are Nazis, Musk sycophants, bots, and the people who want to see it collapse.

    I heard on some youtube post that one of the most googled words since the election has been the word tariff.

    My first thought was how does one make Twitter worse, but Trump and Elon will find a way.

    Elon has desires to have twitter to be some form of currency and transactional hub for spending. My thought is Twitter will join with dogecoin and then the US will go all in on crypto turning all dollars into doges, and then become the beast.

    The only way to make a dumpster fire worse is to throw the world into the dumpster.

    @Tuckerfan is overjoyed.

    Elon Musk Is Already Calling In Favors With Trump

    Y'all know how the Idiot Boy likes to talk about big corporations doing "regulatory capture" and how Trump is "somehow" going to get rid of that. Might want to point him to this article, the next time the dick weasel brings the subject up.

    Here is the thought or hope I have with Trump.

    He is clearly suffering from elderly dementia. It seems to me those people tend to have their defensive toxicity amplified. That does not seem to go away until the very end. So they become worse and worse of the person they were previously.

    Trump is paranoid of everyone, and whenever he makes a mistake he blames it on someone else and casts them out. People seem to think he will be less chaotic and solidify his power with people who will do his bidding. He will try, but as soon as a failure comes along, he is going to go after the people lying in his ear. That chaos may be our only hope.

    They will have to knife him in the back to solidify project 2025's power because that is their idea. He did not make that, and they failed to make it his idea. They still may accomplish that, but every time that plan goes wrong, he will blame the makers of that plan because he has no loyalty. People like Steve Bannon have not learned. Trump does not share power because he is weak and paranoid. He is not wrong in that.

    He has only gotten worse in four years and people are going to be bouncing out of the white house. It is what paranoid people do. The biggest enemy right now is JD Vance. The only good thing is he is ambitious and stupid and will probably try the backstab too soon. He also does not seem to be a good leader of men so if he is successful he ends up in the middle of a bunch of angry violent and greedy people who will gladly serve him up for dinner.

    My biggest hope is that they cut off the head of the beast, aka sweet potato hitler, and then the rest of the body ends up fighting violently over control while they all block any consolidation of power that is not theirs and we make it to the next election. Trump is not making four years with the stress of everyone being after him in the hot seat. His brain is already jello. The fallout is all that is left.

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the entire definition of a recess appointment that it is done while the Senate is in recess and therefore does not require Senate consent?

    He's like a child who heard some big words, vaguely comprehended about half of them, and is trying to impress the other kids by throwing them around without actually having a clue.

    But enough about FF, the topic is Trump and his idiotic statements.

    Honestly, Twitter is little more than government owned 4chan at this point.

    Probably too late to meaningfully scrub identifying data from the site but absolutely no one needs to use that shit anymore with the possible exception of encouraging others to move elsewhere. And frankly, I dunno what anyone who isn't a Nazi and who doesn't perhaps have a business that's dependent on that site is still doing there.

    Oh no doubt Vance will backstab him. I also think for as stupid as he is, he's also a willing and more cooperative puppet who will be glad to invoke the 25th amendment, get Trump out and do the GQP's dirty work into turning America into an Christofascist state.

    Make no mistake about it, unlike our lazy asstard DNC, the GQP took lessons away from 2016 and it will not be business as usual.

    But who will think of @Tuckerfan if Twitter goes away? He'll be devastated.
