Trump set to sign executive order shuttering the Education Department
The president campaigned extensively on a promise to dismantle the department and appointed an education secretary keen to carry out the task.
This is all clearly practice and an attempt to convince the public that the President can shutdown whatever he wishes - like a king. It is all practice for when the President attempts to shutdown Congress and the Judiciary. The President is actively waging war against every citizen of the United States of America!
As much as it is still heartbreaking, this does make me a bit glad that I don't have children.
Basically all I've seen from this administration is what they're against (healthcare, education, diversity, environment/climate, science, equity, inclusion, regulations, etc.), but like, are they for anything besides the antithesis of those?
Authoritarianism
Billionaires hoarding wealth, and slavery.
Seems so
I mean they literally called their campaign "the revenge tour." There's nothing they want to build because a fascist regime like this already has everything they need: huge amounts of capital, channels to pipe out propaganda, and hoards of mindless hate-filled followers, all of them armed to the teeth.
"What else is on the agenda" is getting rid of anything and anyone that can stand up to them.
Their entire personalities are defined by opposition to shit. They don't have any real ideals of their own.
Billionaires and making as much grifting as possible?
Likely so
Id say money but they hate the IRS
Hm. White power? Maybe god, too, because he comes with sweet donations from congregations
If there's nothing to hold the country together, there's no reason for a union.
Foreign policy....
Why wouldn’t he? He’s faced zero opposition and his base feels safe and comfortable.
He loves the poorly educated, guess this is really a cry for help. He just wants people to like him, and only the incredibly ignorant seem to.
Straight up just defunding schools.
Defund the police everyone goes crazy, defund the school system just another normal day.
Schools are a dangerous place for cops, what with all the guns and shootings going on.
This is going to Help with that PESKY H1-B Visa problem!
And grocery prices
This. Fuckin'. Guy.
As outrageous as this is, it made me curious... for me, the Department of Education is just one of those things I've kind of always known about, but did you know that the current office and secretary was created in 1979? Under Jimmy Carter?
🤯
It's amazing how... recent... a lot of these cabinet positions actually are:
