Well, off we go

Looks like this is about all the bad stuff the Trump administration hasn't actually done.

Another alarming and worrisome article about the bad stuff the Trump admin hasn't actually done.

He said he was gonna.

He said he was gonna.

What's his exact quote stating he's going to cut off the poor and eliminate education funding?

Maybe you can inquire of the people in those two stories who are hoping he doesn't do what he said he was going to do, but voted for him anyway.

I looked though the articles but I didn't come across a quote from Trump saying "I'm going to defund the poor and defund education" or words to that effect.

And since you said "He said he was gonna" I figured you must have seen what I missed. So that's why I'm asking YOU for the quote of Trump saying that.

Or is this all just more "leopards ate my face" media predicting? You know, to gaslight voters into feeling regretful before the admin even starts, even though that's completely pointless.

 

[Say it aint so]

It's kind of perplexing. Set aside the reality that Trump as with his last presidency is not one to deliver on what he said he would get done. Yet, this past election his supporters vote for his policies hoping he doesn't get them done.

Trump is talking about taking away federal education funding if states continue to make mandatory school vaccinations, mandatory. Those federal funds are pretty much exclusive to do these things: funding for low income schools; low income school lunch programs; making sure disabled students have access to schools. Moreover, he said he plans to get rid of the Dept of Ed. That dept's main function is grants for US students to afford college. It kind of flies the face of MAGA being upset because of Musk and Rammy supporting foreign work visas because they can't find American talent, when these planned actions are going to exacerbate the problem.

I have this silly habit of not believing everything I read.

He said he was gonna.

Did he forget “Day 1“ is a Federal Holiday?

No one to stop him from enforcing his plan.

 

[Pommer]

He could just “change the locks”?

 

[Aryeh Jay]

He could just “change the locks”?

I'm sure that will be going on as well.

I wonder, am I going to receive my orders fron X or Truth Social?

Well it won’t be Tik-tok!

Anyone remember what happened in 2001?

The Monolith was discovered on the moon.

Lots of folks go with whatever supplies confirmation bias.

What about you? Do you investigate claims that don't fit into your confirmation bias?

Despite endorsing Trump, Fraternal Order of Police critiques his recent pardons​

Among the nearly 1,500 pardons included numerous people convicted of assaulting police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

In a joint statement with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the organizations said that individuals convicted of killing or assaulting police officers "should serve their full sentences."

"Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety — they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families," the police organizations said in a joint statement. "When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence."

Trump rolls back bedrock civil rights measure in sweeping anti-DEI push​

• LBJ's order gave the Secretary of Labor the authority to ensure equal opportunity for people of color and women in federal contractors' recruitment, hiring, training and other employment practices.

Some animals are more equal than others.

LBJ's EO
PART I—NONDISCRIMINATION IN GOVERNMENT EMPLOYMENT
PART II—NONDISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTORS AND SUBCONTRACTORS
PART III—NONDISCRIMINATION PROVISIONS IN FEDERALLY ASSISTED CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS

Appealing to Trump on the basis of the need for people to be held accountable for their crimes?

Talk about the wrong audience.

Ummm.
I like being informed about what Presidents do and even though these EOs were “good enough” for the ten previous Presidents (his first term included), he decided to cull them from the list, eh?

If these EOs look like they could be “troublesome” for a President to adhere to…the honorable thing would be to overrule them.

Trump always does the “right thing”. How he reasons himself to it can be a sight to witness.
