The NAZIs, Putin, Orban (Hungary), Law and Justice (Poland) did it step by step, piece by piece, normalizing one outrage before moving on to the next.

Trump's Big Bang might prove to be counterproductive, but it does follow the 'flood the zone with shit' strategy.

We need to support ACLU with any dollars we can spare. Also Democracy Docket (Marc Elias' group.)

Dear fellow DUers, we have nine days to prepare for this. Be creative, make a list, take deep breaths, limit your intake of news, be selective, make good choices.

Accelerationism is a form of revolutionary and reactionary right-wing ideology calling for the drastic intensification of capitalist growth, technological change, infrastructure sabotage and the destabilization of existing social systems.

But executive orders can have some impact, though legislation is the bigger stick.

... what are their realities. I'm trying to remember from the first time around.

Biden has had a flurry of them.

Obama penned quite a few in his last few weeks, but it seems Biden has penned more. Biden has also signed more significant ones.

that will just turn Congress into a legislative traffic jam.

Chaos will limit his own ability to make changes he (and his supporters) desire.

But without the funds nothing will happen.

and 4 years of golf.

Better tell friend and families from Muslim countries that are planning to visit, to leave before Jan 20.

only this time the incoming is self-inflicted.
And I am still stunned by how it happened.

Dreading what lies ahead, especially for the most vulnerable.

of American triumphalism for me. I think of the first night of the Baghdad bombing and what ensued after that..

the country is getting what the majority of voters and those who didn't 'bother' vote voted for. We had a decent, well quaffed women to chose from, but this turned out to be the will of the people. Thanks for playing.

I wouldn’t put this in quite the same category as the “beautiful” health care plan that he was always two weeks from presenting, but it’s close.

We will see.

is totally comprised of ENDING OBAMACARE, with no substitution........

But the real stuff he cares about, gets done. I think their approach is going to work. And while we’re all reacting to the 100 orders of crap, they’ll be on to other things. Whatever gets litigated witll do so, but tons of stuff will get thru.

THIS IS TRUMP’S ENTIRE INTERACTION MODEL: overwhelm and never admit error.

Until we find ways to break the OODA Loop, it’s going to continue because it works.

That was pretty rude.

No wall
No mass deportations
No buying of sovereign countries
I could go on, but you get the drift
Nothing but a tax break for the rich

He's never wanted to be president. He only sought the position to achieve his personal goals.

The reaction by MAGAs will be a thing to watch.

Those conservative clowns are so busy creating his Day One Agenda that they wouldn't notice if a few additional executive orders were added to the pile.

1. Declaration that the RNC is a terrorist organization.
2. Statement that TSF is incompetent, illiterate and unable to perform the duties of his office.

Just focus on your lives and if you can, help others that may need it.

It sounds simple, but we will get through it, because these bs President executive orders are totally reversible. Happens every new administration. The 100 or so is totally trump bullshit, trying to show who has the bigger dick in the room. All it’s showing me is who IS the bigger dick in the room.

Unlawful actions…

Suck it donny

Per the substack article by Malcom Nance dated December 18, 2024 titled "Forming The New American Resistance" I will be avoiding all corporate media for 72 hours beginning the morning of January 20, 2025.

This will also have to include sites I like and trust like DU because It's going to be a total "shock-and-awe" shit show and the media is going to make things feel soooo much worse.

I don't want to give the corporate media any eyes or clicks during this period and I think it will be better for my mental health to avoid all the gloating and panic that will be flying everywhere during this period.

Consider doing the same to let corporate media know that we are not going to support them as they try to whip everyone into a frenzy and to give yourself a few days of peace and quiet.

There will be 4 years of this so pace yourselves.

Correct.

And the EOs don’t necessarily need to be unlawful.

The glacial pace of the judicial process that benefited Trump as a private citizen will hobble him as ‘president.’

Gotta pay back the crypto boys who helped to rig the election.

Does he have to sign them in front of witnesses? Can he use autosign? Forgeries by his staff?

All I'm saying is, no way does he sit his diaper down and write his name 100 times all at once. That's way too much like work and he's never done any of that in his life.

Firefighters already in Ca. fighting the fires. The SlobFather will complain about it no doubt.

To me it has the feel of Authoritarianism.
It doesn't matter what Congress wants, just write an Executive Order.
