I think I may puke…
Guards, arrest that meddling miscreant!
Surely that’s a crime of some sort…
Yeah, like that’s ever been enforced…
So DOGE is going to be “General Assistance Department” or “Department of Administrative Affairs” for the US? Worst remake ever.
It wasn’t even enforced against Logan!
Okay, Guardian… this photoshop might be a little unhinged…
The fears seem absolutely valid, though…
For myself… I find myself wavering between the hope that these guys are still ignorant and incompetent dipshits who might not be able to do all things that they envision, and the fear that their ignorance and incompetence will make them even more dangerous…
Well, since the fear it expresses is valid, I don’t think the image is unhinged. I especially like the people who seem to be fleeing down the steps in fear. I wish more news orgs would call out Tromp for the threat that he is.
My hope is that we still have enough institutional fortitude and resilience left to stop the incoming fascist onslaught. And more vaguely, that USians somehow just won’t stand for that shit, like, we take pride in claiming that we’re the ones who defeated the real Nazis for craps sake!! But then I remember that Tromp’s followers will believe that the left is full of the “real” commies, cheaters, fascists, etc.
Congress can’t pass ex post facto laws

but enforcement is nil, the note above does mentiion the “Material support for terrrorism, though”
I wish they’d done that much sooner… It’s nice that they’re publishing stuff like this now, and I don’t think that the Guardian was the worst in that regard (as they did have voices warning us about Trump in their pages), but much like the GOP senators clutching their pearls over Matt Gaetz, I’m not sure why they did not listen and report on it more prior to the election… So much of the large outlets and networks sanewashed and normalized what he was doing… now that they’re likely being directly targeted, they seem to finally care… It’s frustrating, I gotta say. But it’s so heard to get the media to break out of the spectacle to get at the truth these days.
Me too…
I still find the image a bit unhinged though… not because it doesn’t communicate the threat being posed by Trump’s incoming administration, but… just… cause it feels a little melodramatic to me, I guess. YMMV!
Rebel!
And of course the unhinged belief that the Nazis were leftists, because of the “socialist” in their party name.
Thank you for posting that.
How about keeping flesh-eating flies out of North America? Because that’s exactly the kind program this attempt at a meme refers to:
In partnership with Mexico, the US drops millions of worms per week on Panama to keep flesh-eating flies out of NA.
Earlier today, I listened to an interview with Andy Kim, and they talked about his “clean up” of the aftermath of January 6. I remembered this image, and I’m still crying. Seriously, WTF, America?
Andy is positive and willing to work across the aisle. I really admire folks who can keep a positive attitude - especially after, literally, picking up shit from the rotunda of the US Capitol! More like Senator-elect Kim, please.
I would say these so-called “efficiency experts” would rather pay for a pound of cure than an ounce of prevention, but the truth is they don’t want to pay for the cure either.
