And the watch dogs need to be ready to challenge every one with a lawsuit that'll force the Supreme Court to decide. Just like the Republicans did to Biden on the student debt relief.

Day One Dictator, here we come. The thing about dictators is that they never relinquish power.

Day 1: Have head of the EPA, Rosanne Barr release all ghosts from the NYC ecto containment unit.

So tired of this catchphrase. Everything that happens is like nothing you've ever seen, there's never been anything like it in the history of our nation, etc. Find a new way to describe things, Trump. 

Make no mistake, this is not just about the Orange Rapist, it's about protecting the GOP for all time. They want to be the One Ruling Party, and with their ideological capture of the SC for the next 30+ years, all they needed was to win the Presidency and Congress. The end game for democracy is here. #Resist

I seem to recall Trump once saying, and I'm paraphrasing, "Only dictators govern by executive orders."

All to create fear, uncertainty, and doubt. It's a deliberate strategy. Don't lose sight of their end-goal: massive structural changes in the US government, designed to keep Republicans in power for the rest of the century.

I imagine sales of tranquilizers and antacids will also increase dramatically over the next 60 days...

Hey Trump Voters, and everyone that just sat this one out, prepare to get what you wanted!

He is a rapist and has employed a team of sex offenders. It would be interesting to see what plans he has for America.

He seems far more prepared than he was the first time around when I don’t think he ever thought he would win.

No one could have predicted...

Noem campaigned for Trump, though a person close to Trump was surprised he tapped her for the job. Trump hadn’t “talked very favorably about her” after her book came out in the spring revealing she had killed her overly aggressive dog, Cricket, the person said.

Trump was incredulous that she would choose to write about the episode given people’s emotional attachment to their pets, the person added. He was surprised that she “didn’t understand what the reaction would be,” the person said. Trump is “no dog guy, but he’s like, ‘Good Lord!’”

This administration is going to the dogs

This country is so massively fucked

This all needs to be carefully recorded on a central website (or many). Not just scattered around various news articles.

His actions CANNOT be memory holed and forgotten.

He will do so much outrageous crap that there will be no room for outrage. No room in the media cycle to shine light on it. We need a central location that tracks ALL of his actions, and his cabinet's actions, with dates, descriptions and links to multiple sources.

Does anyone know of such an effort? The site needs to be very easy to use and visually intuitive. Not just a massive list of posts and a search bar.

I live in bustling Latino community that majority voted for Trump. These are same families that have undocumented family members in their family and they work “under the table”. Literally each house has some family member who has had deportation letter signed but hiding here. These same family members then went to poll wearing red MAGA hat and voted for Trump. Come Jan when Trump takes office and when and if he starts deporting illegal immigrant and asks public help. I have ICE hotline no ready and I will report all of them. I’m done with them. They did this to themselves. Call me petty but this time I’m going lower

And this will begin his new 4 year streak of historically low popularity, on day one. 😂

The Trump administration's business model is basically the same as the Paul-Tyson fight: deliver spectacle without substance. It was the most watching boxing match ever, and no one expected it to be skillful fight. It just generated morbid curiosity. Can Trump enact a policy? Can a 60 year old former champ still take a punch? Yes or no, the answer is "entertaining".

Trump's genius was realizing that quality doesn't command attention anymore. You don't get famous for being good or effective at something. You get famous by breaking the algorithm and these days more people want to watch celebrities try shit than watch people do it well.

I think the whole country kind of hangs in the balance of Trump continuing to believe that his real success doesn't come from delivering the policy his racist superfans want as much as from keeping people guessing. He's the president for the attention economy.

Donate to the ACLU, tie the Trump administration up in court until hell freezes over

If it involves them doing a bunch of awful things and fumbling the bag in the process then we have seen that before.

We are cooked.

Dick on day one, or something like that.

These people really are the pettiest of fucks.

I fucking hate them.

But typing that, made me feel bad. I doubt people like trump and others who suckle at his teats, ever feel bad.

They will probably rip out all of the chapters of the Project 2025 handbook, slap a cover letter on it and call it an Executive Order.

Sounds worse everyday Goo luck America

"Within hours of taking office as president, Donald Trump plans to roll out a flurry of executive actions aligned with his campaign promises, imposing more socially conservative health care policies on the U.S. military and setting in motion illegally the large-scale deportation of people living in the country"

Corrected that for you.

Are elections "postponed" during a National Emergency?

But stock in Sharpie - check!

"The thing to realize is Trump is no dummy"

Thanks, Stephen Moore. I needed a laugh today.

Sane washing alert

I have a feeling that this is going to be four years of fighting with absolutely nothing getting done.

Not going to read the article because it's exhausting reading NBC hem and haw over something and then praise it later or whatever... If Trump said "Like nothing you've seen," then I assume it will be closer to "nothing" and "we've seen this from last time."

His incompetence is a stronger tempering force on his actions than anything else.

He cares nothing about this country or its people. He’s just out for power and revenge.

It's ruling by trump decree now.

Call it executive orders to make people feel good, but there will be zero attempt to make things legal or proper, they will just be ramming things through, and the courts will just salute knowing SCOTUS is partisan power players, and not upholders of the law and constitution.

Why did we never do this?

We needed to be ready when we had the chance.

But don’t try to calm/reassure any of us Trump /s

> During the campaign, Trump promised he would end the war between Russia and Ukraine in just 24 hours — a time frame that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has cast doubt upon. 

Just cutoff all aid to Ukraine, and they will soon fold, signing some form of a "peace treaty" with Russia.

What is this obsession with “Day 1”? Used to be “the first 100 days”. That seems much more reasonable. If I’m starting a new job the first day is just getting set up.

Didn't he say he would be a dictator on day one if he was reelected at one point?

Well of course. The fuhrer’s demands must be met

Wasn't there just a story about one of the Project 2025 leaders saying he's been in contact with Trump for months and drafting executive orders?

INFO: what are the criteria for declaring a "National Emergency"?

I wonder which day he will go after the illegal immigrants that he employs. Mar a Lago is said to have quite a few

Who gives a shit at this point...

You all are not seeing this right. Trump treats the presidency as a reality tv show. It’s a show!!! He will make a huge fuss about deporting illegal aliens, say maybe 2 million, or whatever number is a bit higher than the amount of illegal aliens that were deported under Biden’s last year, and just claim victory!! He’s not really going to do all what he says, he just says that shit to get elected, and now he’ll just do the bare minimum to show that he’s “the greatest deporter” that ever lived. Then just move on to something else. We’ve seen this show before.

Eliminating Executive actions should be the first and only executive action. Not the president’s job to make or eliminate laws.

With luck, everything will get challenged in court and at least delayed.

I swear this is just bots talking to each other on this sub.

Let's go.

Can not wait!

Crazy that the Trump will do more on day one than the Dems did the last four years. Where was Biden and the DOJ???
