The Trump administration’s federal hiring freeze is squeezing the team of meteorologists who help air traffic controllers inform pilots about the weather minute-by-minute as they steer airplanes in and out of the Bay Area’s three major airports.

One is none. People get sick. Shit happens. Unsafe practices.

People will die directly as a result of the policies of this administration; literally there will be increases in morbidity and mortality. And pyutti could not be happier. It will take decades to recover from the damage done just up to this date. I cannot fathom what 45 more months will do in terms of harm to the US and to the rest of the world directly from these policies. smh.

That’s precisely the goal. It’s a great way for Russia to kill Americans without firing a shot. It is one of many ways they’re doing this.

I just don't understand what happened between the first term and the second. First term all the dude did was play golf.

This second term its like he's under threat of assassination or something.

Or, it's just the courts that ruled the President can't go to jail for any actions they perform. So he's basically a dog off a chain.

He’s following the Project 2025 playbook this time.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 days ago

I'd argue he's not even doing that much. He's just signing his name where they tell him to. Trunk isn't a singular supervillain. There's a whole team of assholes doing this shit.

The administration is completely different. The GOP had a lot more influence on the admin choices in 2016. MAGA is the party now and they get to appoint anyone they want. 2016 still had people who believed in democracy, the 2024 administration sees it as a hinderance.

You're vastly underestimating the damage done in his first term. Everything he did then set the foundation for what he is now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

He stacked the judiciary during term 1, saw all the secret plans, went on his dictator dick sucking coordination tour, etc

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

If you look at what he actually did first term and compare it to this term, they're pretty close in their evilness. The Muslim ban, the family separation, the hiring of really dumb people. Everyone is just forgetting or weren't paying attention the first time.

There's a lot more people with a plan behind the scenes this time. They only need him to sign the papers.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago

Everyone realized "holy shit he can actually do all those things we want to do and nobody will stop us".
