You probably can’t explain how these decisions are actually going to affect people without googling or going elsewhere. There are some REALLY terrible decisions happening right now. Why can’t you say at least one thing that the person you voted for is doing is bad? And think why that is problematic that you feel this way about someone who could care less about you personally.

Musk is ready to destroy the halls of academia. NIH research grants have been slashed as of today. Most universities take 50% or more of the top of these grants for paying their deans, assistant deans and associate deans. They pay for wasteful things with the money. No more. They are going to have to find the money or go out of the research business. Good luck liberals. Cope and seethe.

This will be an important move by Trump when he uses the US military against Americans. (Like he wanted to in his first term)
“The Pentagon just announced that it would double the number of news organizations removed from physical offices to make room for MAGA propaganda media outlets.
OUT: The New York Times, Politico, NPR, The Washington Post, CNN, NBC, The Hill, The War Zone
IN: Breitbart, The New York Post, The Washington Examiner, OAN, Newsmax, HuffPost, The Free Press, The Daily Caller”31 -

It’s refreshing to have a President who actually works (6am to midnight!) instead of one who slept on the beach for four years.
“There’s no thoughts of leisure, no going to the beach like Sleepy Joe Biden did and falling asleep in front of the press. How do you fall asleep in front of the press?”
“We have a country to save,” his chief of staff Susie Wiles tells supporters when explaining the breakneck pace.
In a far cry from his predecessor’s spartan and highly-controlled encounters with the Fourth Estate, Trump holds packed press conferences and takes questions from all comers.

Stay in school kids. Or you might wind up like this guy
Donald J. Trump
@realDonald Trump
The Department of Education, as we will all soon find out, is one of the terrible organizations on Earth, with millions wasted over many years developing a hybrid of the fork and spoon in our cafeterias (which no one likes). Millions spent teaching our educators, many of which are very ugly, how to read before they are allowed to teach our children. Tens of Millions, even Billions, reinforcing flawed DEI - or DEWHY as we call it now - policies of extreme radicals to endoctrinate our youth by enforcing peanut bans to accommodate a very small group (very LOUD) who don't like the beautiful nut. This horrible "department" must be stopped NOW!

Musk and his DOGE team are pushing beyond the boundaries of what they can legally do.
While all of that happens, Trump is in the White House doing the same thing that he was during the January 6th insurrection:31 -

The line it is drawn, the curse it is cast:
Which is it, America? Rule of law or autocracy? We're up to the line here. Is there any such thing as law enforcement against Donald Trump or is he now the state himself and therefore not subject to laws he does not like? Will trump admins obey the courts? Will trumpists just ignore the courts and be either never prosecuted by a toady FBI or simply be granted a pardon after the fact by Captain Orban?
A federal judge early Saturday temporarily restricted access by Elon Musk’s government efficiency program to the Treasury Department’s payment and data systems, saying there was a risk of “irreparable harm.”
President Musk is giving indications he might be defying the Judicial Branch
“After a judge blocked DOGE access to Treasury data, Elon Musk just reposted a user who implied that the order should be defied ⬇️ 👇
“I don’t like the precedent it sets when you defy a judicial ruling, but I’m just wondering what other options are these judges leaving us…”23 -

Trump’s a turd. You trying to compartmentalize his actions is hilarious.
His Gaza policy isn’t his only sh*tty idea. They’re all bad. You just happen to be hurt most by one of them.
Face it you were duped.
Just because he is a demented moron with no friends doesn't mean all of his ideas are necessarily bad.
I am a fan of his show of deporting illegal aliens.
I realize he is nowhere near deporting a million in a year, but I also realize he exaggerates or lies all the time, so I never expected him to actually accomplish that anyway.But he is making a show of it, which is one thing he is good at, and for this issue, making a show of it is good, because people make the decision to hike across the Darien based on perception.

Our commander in chief is a traitor who said we should terminate the Constitution.
Those who want to keep the Constitution are therefore his enemies.

President Trump will be impeached if and when the Dems retake the House, not before. There is literally nothing he could do that would get the GOP-majority House to impeach him. He could blow his son's head off with a shotgun and the House would not vote to impeach.

He's going scorched earth regardless.
He has defense contracts with the military, access to the communications system through Starlink, the treasury data is on his private server, he owns a mass media organization in Twitter/X, and is the right hand man of the president.
This dude is the code red tyrant Republicans have been warning us about for centuries.
