What a nightmare and I don't suppose there's any way to stop his appointment.
Well, unless he follows in the family footsteps, I guess.

Re: The reduction of American government starts in earnest.
As an aside, is there any chance that Project 2025 can really terminate a few million civilian servants and replace them with his boot lickers?

Elon was already a national security risk. It's going from bad to catastrophic.

Re: The reduction of American government starts in earnest.
I'm going out on another limb here and say that Trump will be forced to dial back his tariffs, which are only an excuse to cut taxes for the rich, anyway and also dial back his plans to reduce departments in the federal government when politicians start screaming as their pet programs are on the chopping block.
Much like his first term the only sure thing is tax cuts for the rich.

RFK is fucking psychopath that shouldn't be anywhere near government. This may be one of the most terrifying things of all.

Sign me up for all of it. I want Americans to get exactly what they voted for. Some very hard lessons need to be learned across the board, and it seems the only way to learn those lessons is thru experience.

If his threats get China to drop some of their tariffs, that will be a good thing.
But, I'll believe that when I see it.

Why do I get the feeling that, when it happens, and it will, the left gets the blame, and somehow his sycophants believe it.

Re: The reduction of American government starts in earnest.
Reduction of government should start with the IRS. The tax code has been in dire need of simplification for decades. Instead, it has gotten more complicated every year. Should be an adjusted (by income) flat rate, with adjustments for disabilities, etc. With no more loopholes, taxes could be calculated on a fairly simple spreadsheet.
Not that it matters. Looked up the composition of the IRS workforce and was astounded at the number of minorities and women employed, far beyond normal demographics.

We'll take all the money we save and "invest" it in the military, ICE, CBP, DHS, etc. More badges. More guns. More surveillance. 1984 baby. Let's fucking go!

This country is doomed. Make some back up plans to go elsewhere. I hear Portugal is a pretty reasonable place.

China is a problem all to itself because for decades the Chinese government has been providing the capital, for free, to sectors of industry they want to dominate, globally.
It's how they globally took over steel, auto parts, electronics and now EVs.

We've done the same thing with corn and other things. They're called subsidies. And the US govt. gives billions every year for research (AAU, etc.) into all sorts of sectors. The fruits of that research finds it's way into American business.

Maybe they'll come up with a special style of marching! Maybe even a new form of salute! Maybe a catchphrase to go with it! It's gonna be really fucking cool.

The government doesn't provide the capital to agribusiness like in China. Yes there are all sorts of programs which encourage farming, and we all need food so that makes some sense.
If you are running a car company and don't have to pay for the buildings, the land or the equipment to build the cars with you can sell those cars for much less.

There's already a teacher shortage, right? This isn't going to help with that.
We'll just raise kids to be barefoot and pregnant again.

This is what I'm talking about when I've said elsewhere that they are going to push all sorts of crap that helps move kids to the right. School of choice will long term take away power from the cities. Prayer will spread like a disease and again brainwash kids into moving right. They have a fucking disgusting long term plan. We have lost if he manages to do a lot in 2 years, 4 if we can't win back house or Senate
