Make it make sense.

When he says he’s going to destroy public education. Believe him.

Jo Unfortunately people believed him so little they voted him in as president !!! They voted based on the 23 months he was actually president in a functioning world , then the world shut down , Americans were beating the shit out of each other for toilet paper and Trump watched the

They’re just saying it out loud now.

Trump and his people have exhibited no interest in the legally required transition process. I suspect it's for two reasons: 1) As of 2019, they have to sign certain ethics pledges, AND reveal all conflicts of interest. I don't think they want to do that. But also... 1/6

2) The purpose of the transition process is to teach the incoming Administration what it needs to know to run the 400+ federal agencies in the Executive Branch. Trump expects to dismantle nearly all of them, so doesn't care how to run them. I know I'm right about 1). 2/6

If I'm also right about 2), we'll likely know late on Jan 20, or early morning Jan 21, because Trump would then sign a series of sweeping Executive Orders which would fire thousands of federal employees, including all the people who run virtually everything. 3/6

I've heard Trump is also requiring personal loyalty oaths and NDA's from everyone who wants to remain employed. Including (wait for it).... all senior officials--generals, admirals, etc--in all the armed forces. I suspect most of them will be unemployed by Jan 22. 4/6

He'll replace them all with toadies and sycophants who will do his bidding. I could be wrong (and I hope I am), but I think on Trump's first two or three days, he will sign EOs intended to end most of the Exec Branch, and transfer all of what remains to his personal desk. 5/6

I could be wrong (and I hope I am), but I'm convinced Trump intends to shock and terrify the world, and frighten us all into obedience, in his first forty-eight hours. Do. Not. Comply. I won't list what I think will be in those Exec Orders. Read Project 2025. All at once. 6/6

PS. People can say, "You're being silly. It would take an act of Congress to do what you're implying." It would. Or at least, it should. But if Trump orders it, who will dispute him? A Republican Congress won't. There will be lawsuits trying to stop it. Trump will ignore them.

I'm not doomposting. The best minds in America are working on how to stop this destruction. They're smarter than I am. I'm just telling you what Trump voters have wrought, and the morons who stayed home rather than vote for Harris.

Chris Fussell I have no idea what you're talking about here. The transition had nothing whatever to do with Trump's (well-documented) connections to Russia.
