There's certainly a lot going on and pretending to be comprehensive isn't going to work. The hacking into payments at the source, even if it's read only, well, we just don't know what's going on, but it's quite possibly quite damaging. Cutting off payments to nursing homes, and all sorts of vital things is going to cause mass chaos and that's what it's about.
Now Elon is playing the game of avoiding being served for all the lawsuits he's creating with his lawlessness. Just sidestepping the courts, sidestepping the legislature, that is a coup. I don't care if he's been empowered by Trump to hijack the federal government, or that the supreme court and legislature are republican, there is a rule of law, and he's breaking it. The Felon in Chief who isn't so hot on laws either, is cheering him on.
How does it happen that clubs are banned at West Point? Does Trump call up the president, and say well if you don't cancel these diversity affirming clubs I'm going to cut funding, I have Musk on the inside and he'll do it. Or does the president just get the vibes of what's going on and do it?
Meanwhile shitty Google's links aren't working, you have to scroll down past the sponsored links, which seem to have expanded, and find a working link.
Headline: West Point Disbands Clubs for Women and Minorities After Trump Orders NYTimes. Why is the president closing clubs? At a military college? Should be the only place he could do such a thing but why would he even care. I certainly care that he's closing them.
The message is both, you're not welcome here, and your experience doesn't matter. Like you can stop the black engineers from gathering together.
The soccer guys down at the park don't really care, they're all hispanic and like Trump, and prefer to identify with the oppressor, and don't want to be told how to think.
"The memo said the directive canceled all trips, meetings, events and other activities associated with the clubs, which were no longer authorized to conduct informal activities using government time, resources or facilities." NYTimes
I mean it's not to hard to rename the club rock climbing or photography and still meet, except they're being trained to follow orders, and Trump doesn't like the military because it resists being his stooge. This is a revenge tour by a petty small minded harmful president. It's offensive on so many levels, which might be his plan to offend liberal sensibilities, the freedom to be who you are. Now cower to his greed. What does he stand for? He can't say white supremacy out loud, but that's his Hitler type message ultimately. And the mixed race guys playing soccer in the park love him, even though they're less under this system. I can't tell them as a white man who to vote for, that's more oppression, they're already voting for an oppressor without my educating them, thank you. They identify more with the strong man who smashes people, hopefully they're not caught under foot.
Pretending that racism, sexism, classism doesn't exist, that doesn't erase it. Just compounds the problems that the clubs were working to redress.
"end diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives within the federal government and supported by federal funds"
Trumps ultimate script flipping then goes on to say, "promising to “forge a society that is colorblind and merit-based.”"
This is why lying is so vital to Trump, because doing the opposite of what he says he's doing is the key to the art of the deal.
Meanwhile the legal system is fighting out diversity programs, as in against affirmative action (NY Times). Total shitshow. I wouldn't be surprised if colored water fountains start showing up in federal buildings.
All the NASA website posts trumpeting women have to be taken down. (gizmodo).
This is what you jerks voted for. And that is what the cheating felon president is doing.
Many conservatives applaud his works, meanwhile it's going to be too late to stop him later when these self interested types get trampled on in some way.
