    Yes, he’s doing many of the things he did last time. Also, it’s worth mentioning that there degrees, and everything on that list has been ramped up by at least 10x. Or are you not paying attention to the unelected billionaire that’s gutting our federal workforce?

    In addition to so much more, far worse, things. Do you really need me to enumerate them for you?

    How about putting an alcoholic Fox News host in charge of the DoD. And having a podcast host with no military or intelligence experience as the Deputy Director of the FBI? Or a billionare wrestling corporation owner’s wife with no educational experience tasked with literally dismantling and eliminating the Dept. of Education entirely? Or how about putting RFK Jr., an antivax moron who looks like the most unhealthy human on the planet, in charge of Health and Human Services (who btw is already fanning the flames of a measles outbreak by literally disseminating dangerous disinformation to parents that Vitamin A is a good replacement for the measles vaccine).

    Should I go on?’

    Last time he at least had some people in his cabinet that were interested in maintaining the status quo for the most part. That is completely gone now. There is no voice of reason.

      Even if I was just talking about golf my initial statement was accurate based on this article and other articles that have been published. Not sure who shit in your Cheerios but it seems you came into the comments looking to start shit.

      I’m done. You have a blessed day.

        Take a step back and see that the other person was totally civil in trying to make their point. You guys more than likely agree, you just took their clarification of your statement as hostility when you shouldn’t have.

            Hey it’s all good my dude. We all get what you’re saying and I think you both ultimately agree that things are shit. The rest is just semantics! <fist bump>

        You said it was exactly the same. That’s just wrong. It’s so much worse, and we need to be talking about this.

        That’s why I’m speaking to you the way that I am. I don’t know if you live in the US, but this is extremely important for me, as I do. And when someone comes in and says, “this is the exact same thing he did last time, why is the media reporting on it,” then I feel compelled to shut that down.

        It’s not the same, and the media needs to be reporting on it.

          and says, “this is the exact same thing he did last time, why is the media reporting on it,”

          They said “why is the media pretending this was new”, not “Why are they reporting on this”.

          These are very different statements. You are suggesting they said the media shouldn’t bother reporting on it. What they actually said was that it should be pointed out that there are many repeats, and shouldn’t be treated as though its happening for the first time.

          I think that is the root of the misunderstanding here.
