All Things Trump: The Return Of The King

[macdoc]

Can we say pandering ...or perhaps fawning ....it's very amusing on BlueSky to read the sabotage aimed at him by the gov he is supposed to be leading.

Wonderful use of gov resources,...

Over 100 ICE agents spent 5 hrs in Chicago last week, arresting only 2.

In Denver & Aurora, CO, over 400 agents were dispatched for migrant violence linked to Tren de Aragua. After knocking on hundreds of doors, only 1 member was arrested. (NYP, ABC News)

Department of Education must be scrapped due to DEI and the spork. The spoon-fork.

Others have said this, but - yes, it’s fake. I saw it and I went immediately to google and fact checked it. It’s nowhere else except on social media where people are spreading it.

You won’t catch me defending our education system… but you’re crazy to think evangelical Republicans have something better in mind.

Elsehwere:
He: I see it more like everyone trying to get their pet project done before the first polls about the popularity of the actions come in.

Me:The senators up for election in 2026 may be slightly concerned. The house is a bit disorganized and there may be more fear. But as Trump is out for revenge, he for sure does not fear anything beyond 2028. He may even be grooming a successor to carry on his program of extreme white poeple world. it is not Vance. That may be problemtic. But if they purge a lot of old guys, there may be an endless supply of tech bros to carry on the mission.

His stomping about will end in 2026 at the midterms.

I’m making no optimistic predictions. What would I base them on that I haven’t already used to support other similar predictions that were completely wrong?

You won’t catch me defending our education system… but you’re crazy to think evangelical Republicans have something better in mind.

In Oz, the primary and secondary school sectors are run by the states, with federal funding. There is a federal education department, which looks after the tertiary sector and tries, with limited success, to establish some uniformity in testing etc. between the states. Our conservative opposition generally favours state-based systems, but would never go to the point of abolishing the federal education department...

[Brian Peacock]

Not yet anyway!

[JimC]

I'm reasonably certain that they would not abolish it. They might tinker with its policy processes, and reduce programs to do with diversity or gender, but there is not the same appetite for dismantling the federal systems as in the US...

[pErvinalia]

Who would give away free money to private schools if the fed education department went away?

[Tero]

Canada sells more stuff to US than US sells to Canada. If we make Canada the 51st state they cannot "rip us off" anymore but will give the stuff to us, free.

In further evidence that Donald Trump is still engaged in his trail of retribution, here's a story from the "Washington Post" about the dismissal of the U.S. head archivist. It was that agency that cooperated with the FBI and led to charges against Trump for having classified documents at his home in Mar-a-Lago.

Reporter Maegan Vazquez filed this story, "Trump dismisses archivist to the United States."

This will go well. Now the gov't will waste nickels instead of pennies.

Trump Orders Treasury to Stop Minting Pennies
President Trump said that he had ordered the Treasury secretary to stop producing new pennies, a move that he said would help reduce unnecessary government spending.

Trump coins
The riskiest type of crypto may be the memecoin, a digital currency based on an online joke or a celebrity mascot. It has no practical use, and vendors won’t accept it as a form of payment.

Three days before his inauguration, Trump created his own memecoin, calling it $Trump. He advertised it on his social media accounts. Crypto investors snapped up $Trump coins, causing the price to skyrocket.
