This is glorious. The mess is amazing, but the money that will be saved after it's all done will be worth it.

They're firing Inspector Generals? Damn, thats like, expediting the destruction of the federal government.
Edit: for those who don't know, IGs are independent officials within fed and state agencies that conduct investigations, audits or inspections to employees or agencies.
He illegally fired 17 of them, including one investigating Neuralink, (one of Musk's companies).
He's up to over 30 now.
including one investigating Neuralink
And that's not a coincidence.
How are people just so unaware of what's happening in their own government?
Like you're on a site like this, and you know what Inspector Generals do, but you're not aware that he fired over a dozen of them days into his term? How??
There's a whole lot of, "I don't care about or pay attention to politics because nothing really changes for me" morons about to have a rude awakening.
Our investigative media has been dead or bought out for a long time, and despite project 2025 being published, it's all happening really quickly. I have a difficult time believing this isn't the downfall of America. And we almost reached 250.
At this point I'm hoping America is annexed by Canada or something. It's too dangerous to leave this country to its own devices, we are begging for invaders to come liberate us.
The upside is that often times throughout history massive actions like what is happening right now are restricted to the start or end of empires. Turns out fucking with how a state functions is a great way for it to collapse, the death of empires is often times slow until its not.
You got too much time in your hands mijo.
They can't even do a coup without fucking half of it up.
How have they fucked up? No one has stopped them
Because they don't have to worry about fuck ups. Americans are gonna do jack shit about it. Otherwise something would have already been done.
Sadly Ayn Rand was right when she said...
"The question isn't how can I do such things, but who is going to stop me?"
Suda 51 was right, there really are No More Heroes.
Not true. The Democrats will form a committee to discuss language to be placed in a letter to the administration, they may even call a news conference to state that they are disappointed in what is happening and if it continues they may have to do more drastic measures like actually sending the letter that the committee put together.
At this point I'll be geniunely surprised to learn that Democrats with survival instincts exist.
We need to return to the days when dueling on the senate floor was acceptable.

Wait, it gets better! The Democrats are going to form a committee to discuss language for the letter, which is sure to be a 500-page document that will get printed out on recycled paper and ceremoniously burned in a symbolic gesture of disappointment. And after weeks of debate, they'll finally agree on a single sentence that reads, 'We are disappointed in the administration's lack of action.' Wow, that'll definitely send shockwaves through Washington!
But wait, there's more! They'll then call an emergency press conference to declare their outrage, where they'll all stand in front of a teleprompter and read from their carefully crafted statement. And to really drive the point home, they might even release a 3-minute video montage of footage from the committee meeting, set to a dramatic score, just to make sure everyone knows how "serious" they are.
And if that's not enough, they'll then proceed to actually send the letter – but only after making it clear that they're only doing so because they have to, and not because they actually expect anything to change. And when the administration inevitably ignores them or responds with a half-hearted gesture of tokenism, they'll be like, 'See, we told you so! We sent our letter and... oh wait, nothing happened.' It's going to be hilarious!
That's the frightening part .... either they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans ... or they are following a well orchestrated plan of disruption and chaos to gain control of everything and everyone
Either way, they are undoing a lot of things that will take years or decades to bring back

I’ve always heard it as “democracy is only six missed meals away from anarchy.”
they are idiots that are completely messing everything up including their own plans
Incompetence is one of the hallmark qualities of a fascist government.
And that's pretty lucky, because it means they will be the architects of their own downfall.
The question isn't if or even when will Trump fall, it's how many of us will die in the process.
Hey, people think Hitler's Germany was a success story until he started to loose the war but it was actually a clusterfuck right from the beginning and doomed to fail from the start.
If you start a mechanized war without significant oil reserves you're gonna have a bad time

It's much easier to fight a enemy that is confused, disorganized, and fighting amongst itself. This is by design.
Just wait until all the backdoors are discovered. Or front doors I guess...with how inept these idiots are. Can't wait for someone with some power/money to actually get sick of these clowns and just end them

This is what the accelerationists didn’t account for.
"Flood the zone with shit" strategy.
I'm betting on stage 1 underpants gnomes.
And true to form, our boy Klip exposed the malignant incompetence while taking the opportunity to advertise his substack 😄
The breach resulted from an overhaul led by Elon Musk that installed underqualified personnel and an insecure in-house system, sparking a class-action lawsuit for cybersecurity failures.
And y’all let him have access to government.
The world will burn from climate and war because of American stupidity.
