One of FDR's tricks was one the left internalized, and has used to wokeshitify corporations. (Maybe it was JFK? Think FDR.)

Infamously FDR was approached by a group of activists, that pitched some stupid leftist bullshit to him. Forget what they wanted, more communist bullshit. At the end of the meeting, he told them: "You bring forth a great idea, I want to implement this idea, I love this idea and want to do it. Now get out there and force me to do it."

The lesson is a person in a position of power has a significantly easier time doing what "the insane base" is "demanding" than spearheading things he wants to do on his own, even if he's acting as part of a collective movement.
Just in case people wonder, this is why people think protests work. Protests don't actually motive the powers that be into doing anything, they're just cover for what they want to do anyways. It's why Right leaning ones never get anything done.
 
On a different subject, those military officers who have been fired surely knew this would happen as soon as they learned of President Trump's re-election. Would also bet money sales of Pete Hegseth's most recent book jumped as soon as the news of his nomination for SecDef came out. Have read the book. Pete pulls no punches at all. Am sure President Trump read the book and the two of them came to a meeting of the minds and a rough timetable for punting people out.

Was looking for this to happen sooner than it did. Two explanations - the President wanted to wait until Pete was confirmed to start firing people, or President Trump just wanted these fuckers twisting in the wind for a while. Likely a combination of both.

Suggest we will see more firings as the service secretaries/undersecretaries are confirmed. Bet Stu Scheller (special assistant to Pete) and Matt Lohmeier (to be Undersecretary of the Air Force) can't wait to get to work, and bet certain USMC and US Space Force generals are seriously considering retirement right now, if their retirement papers haven't been submitted already.
 
I get that the point of this reddit post was for them to fantasize about killing a 4 yo, but the gun sperg in me is compelled to point out that a foot of meat would have a dramatic effect on pretty much any of the 5.56 caliber rounds.
I remember back from the Rittenhouse trial, Kyle shot the child rapist in the groin area, broke his hip, and the bullet didn't have enough energy to break through his ass cheeks.

Granted, that was some Aguila(?) .223.
 
Fuck that, I want to see Vtubers. I want to see a room full of Segway-mounted smartphones with anime girls on them, rolling around and drowning out reporters with high-pitched voices squeaking out whatever questions their superchat donations tell them to ask.
Kirsche asking how Trump plans to use donkey fucking in his Colombian negotiations would be pretty based though
 
if Trump makes DMV workers courteous and helpful we should make him the fucking emperor.
Must admit I got a lot of help recently over the phone from a very nice California DMV employee, believe an older gentleman. Took great pains to show me what to do with the form he emailed me. I certainly appreciated it, saved us time, aggravation, and money.

It's not about just trimming the fat when it comes to fed employees but there were polls saying that around 50% of all government workers said they would impeded Trump's agenda anyway they could. I'm sure you've notice by now that many of these laid off feds lean blue so this also has benefit to Trump that ensures no activist faggot tries to gum up the works
 
I do wunder what the mid-terms will be like if the Dems keep just refusing to face reality.
local talk has brought up tentatively a few times around when Tulsi and RFK hopped on board the idea that the American system tends to need a two party format of adversarial system being hashed out in the crucible of truth and the marketplace of blahblahblah and we're getting increasingly fucked as it grows more and more "pants crappingly insane retards" and "the rest of America"

maybe we move back to the no-party ideal of the start of the nation, but yeah this is sorta uncharted waters if the dems can't get their shit together

"Secretary Asmon, what is the stance the Trump Administration is taking to deal with recent developments in <political issue>?"
Ten seconds of silence follow, Asmongold's brows drawn in and mouth open in a caveman rictus, eyes staring off into nothingness.
"Wow, yeah... great question. Yeah. people don't ask questions like that enough. I don't know, I'll have to get back to you on that one."

doesn't modern life just make you want to die sometimes?
 
I mean, The Bobs were not incorrect about wanting to ask what people actually did in their jobs.

The Main Character legitimately told them he basically did zero work.
The best part about that scene though is he also told them he didn't care he didn't do any work, since all the work was wasteful anyway and it was easier to just shuffle it off to other retards and go home early. The Bobs recommended him for management!
