    At this point I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.

        That’s a pretty nice website. Although I was more thinking of a very simple one that is literally just a table. With his orders in the first column, and a second column listing which dictators have done a very similar thing and when.

            That’s why it hasn’t been made yet, actually collecting the data is the time consuming part.

            You could literally make it as a static page with an HTML table using old-school borders and zero CSS. Hell, that might actually help convince the older republicans even more.

            Although to be fair, you could probably use “ai” to collect a lot of the basics about who has done similiar things. That way you just have to check if it’s true and get the link, instead of trying to research each thing.

        This would actually be the best way for the MAGA movement to end I think, but I doubt they’d believe he really killed himself.

        (Also Trump thinks he’s a fucking god-perfect human, and he’s a pussy. There’s no way he’d off himself.)

      Which January? I remember he tried to get someone murdered on a January 6th not too many years ago

    This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.

        I wonder if anyone has ever realistically gamed out how just how big a mob it would take to get into someplace that well protected.

        Not like when the 3 y/o ran through the fence or anything, like to brute force inside the actual important side of the Whitehouse.

        It’s nothing like the Capital building, that’s for sure.

    The plan reportedly involves firing staff in a massive wave rather than doing it piecemeal, starting with mid-level White House staffers.

    Pfft…

    Sounds like just purging “staff” same as getting rid of “staff” across government entities like they’ve been doing.

    Just getting more “roadblocks” out of their way.

    No reference to cabinet personnel… (other that the mention of Walz’ “re-assignment”.) 🤷‍♂️ 🤡

    Just remember, it’s not for Project 2025, whatever that is, even though the authors are great buddies of his. /s

    How many times does this guy have to fill a swamp before his followers realizing there wasn’t anything to drain until he showed up?

      I mean… there was and is plenty of swamp to drain, it’s just that Trump was never actually gonna do it. Legalized corruption is part of why we’re in this mess.

    “Shock and horror” is more like it. I’m assuming he will replace people that don’t fall in line with more white supremacy, boot licking, pig fuckers.

      To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that’s the case he’s looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.

      The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.
