They talk like this because it’s what Trump wants to hear.

He may have written her statement directly, but it’s equally likely that if someone doesn’t include shit like that in a public statement, the President will personally berate them.

He looks so surprised

The folks behind Project 2025 realized that in order to be done most effectively, lots of laws would need to be broken, and the President would need to appropriate powers that aren’t really his. They created a perfect scenario to circumvent this:

• a President who doesn’t give a shit about laws
• a Supreme Court who says the President can break all the laws he wants to, and impeachment is the only remedy
• a Congress who will not impeach the President for breaking the law, as long as he is doing it for reasons they approve of.

So, the net effect is that he was put there, on purpose, to remake the Federal Government to be so small it can drown in the bathtub, in spite of laws to rhe contrary. He has the government by the pussy, abd Republicans let him do it.

Even if Gavin wins in 2028, he will inherit an executive branch that is eviscerated and has no ability yo do anything. Moderates will tag him as “ineffective” and run to the next Republican in 2032. Then all bets are off…

It could have been worse, at least those detainees weren’t puppies

See the ® after her name, though? That means that she will never see the consequences of her actions.

Since this has been posted in all of the news/politics communities I am subbed to, from different sources, I’ve been amused by how each media outlet has strained to describe this woman’s relationship to Leavitt in a headline. This one might be the most tortured.

The problem is that somebody has to have kids, otherwise we have no more humanity.

If individuals decide they would rather be child free for their own reasons, that’s fine. But if capitalism makes everything so expensive that people who want kids can’t afford to raise them and never have them in the first place, that is an extinction-level problem

“In the works”? Is that what we’re calling it now?

Cut them some slack! The alternative was a lady, after all. What did you expect them to choose?

But just think of all the data that Elon Musk got to mine out of the government, to feed to his AI.

Won’t anyone think of the billionaires?

Actually, I bet this saves her from any consequences. She wasn’t supposed to have the job in there first place, so all of her unforced errors don’t matter.

They should, but she has the magic ® after her name. So it’s just “Oopsies!”, and then she can go on with her day.

She’s counting on the magic ® to protect her. It works for politicians, now we’ll see whether it works in court.

That article takes way to many words when they could have just said “She doesn’t know what the fuck she is doing”.

Furthermore, NYC is filled with entitled narcissists, and any Mayor will need to know how to deal with them to get elected and successfully manage the city. So Mamdani has had a lot of practice lately.

“Morale is completely lost,” they added. “Staff are furious about the way we are being treated.”

A reminder that Trump and his advisors specifically campaigned on a platform of ruining the morale of Federal Workers.

“When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains,” Vought said in a clip obtained by ProPublica and Documented. “We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can’t do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.”
