    I can’t express in words how fucking stupid Trump and his ilk are. I just cannot believe these dumb mother fuckers!

    It’s all funny until you realize that the people willing to go back will be a bunch of spineless loyal yes men.

    Considering they were betrayed by their country after years of patriotic service, you can probably find some of them in Beijing, and I don’t blame them.

    Echoes of late 2022 when Twitter abruptly fired thousands of people, then turned around days later and tried to rehire many of them. I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that one person is closely tied to both incidents.

      You could also mention the Tesla Supercharger team.

      And you might also draw parallels that this seems more like spite or other personal whim, rather than motivated by the needs of the organization, or applied with any intelligence

      It’s almost as this is done in a manner to distract from the hidden intention and doing it at Twitter was a test that confirmed its effectiveness. What a weird but definitely not happening possibility. Look over there! 👉 It’s a trans immigrant that wants your dogs and women’s gold medals!!

    The good ones have probably already found new higher paying jobs. The ones that come back will be the dregs. But what can you expect from a guy who bankrupted a Casino

      I didn’t know this. But his casino in NY, played out a gambler, they basically got that gambler into the position of owing money. (He had already been draining the casino by winning). When he lost he owed the casino money but the Japanese Mafia killed him before he could pay it.

      I think that was talked about in the documentary Hyper Normalization by Adam Curtis. It’s on yt if you’re interested.

      NYC wasn’t paying back their bank loans, so banks stopped loaning to them. Then Trump started buying the derelict property and building for the rich and sort of became a bank for nyc. It looks like he’s making this scenario happen to USA. Making USA poor so he can buy it back and sell it to the rich.

    Everyone thought they were electing a rooster into the henhouse, but the rooster brought in a fox and no one has a shotgun.

    I bet this dumb fuck pays for a terrorist attack to happen, so he can delcare marshal law. Then he gets unlimited powers, and won’t leave the white house. I’m absolutely sure of it. It’s ww2 all over again.

      Just because this is a common enough mistake, I’m going to publicly correct you for the benefit of other people who might see this comment. I apologize.

      It’s Martial Law. Not Marshall Law.

        Martial Law and Marital Law is the one that always gets me.

        There’s a joke in there about strict curfews and domineering personalities, but I can’t be bothered to flesh it out.

    Looks like the majority of the storage facilities are in Red states. Even though some are near me, I feel like saying screw it, let them stay unmonitored and lets see what blows up. A blunder of that magnitude would shake up even the most die-hard MAGAt.

      you underestimate the power of the hatred that’s been carefully cultivated and spread by the right and far-right the last sixty years.

      they simply won’t give a shit, even if their dick starts glowing green, as long as ‘they’ get it too.

      No blunder is big enough to shake up MAGA. Literally nothing will threaten their allegiance to their god-king.

        Eh, I can think of some things that might, its just that incompetence isnt one of them. But like, if Trump suddenly came out as trans or something, that might shake them up a bit.

    You would think this is an insult to the Trump administration but it is really a testament to the inefficient chaos that is the government bureaucracy. I worked for the fed government for approximately 15 years when hundreds of coworkers and myself received letters explaining the agency had no idea who we were. We would all have to repeat our background checks and resubmit fingerprints to the FBI. Some of the people had been there for 25+ years.
