I'm torn on whether resignation is the right move in these situations. Wouldn't forcing them to fire you for insubordination be a stronger statement? If you resign, you make it easy for them, and they are only too happy to replace you with a more compliant yes-man.

1/23/2026 7:17:54 PM

There’s been at least a dozen resignations I think over this so far. Just like the halligan case, the yes men seem to be wildly incompetent, also puts resource constraints on everything else. Also frees them up to speak and testify. Congress needs to do their job though— hold hearings, get independent investigations going, etc.

1/23/2026 7:36:00 PM

But why make it easier for them to achieve their goals by clearing the path voluntarily?

1/23/2026 8:03:01 PM

Only reason i can think of is so it is easier to know who to blacklist from ever working in the government again, once this abomination of a time period is over

"Yes, It’s Fascism Until recently, I thought it a term best avoided. But now, the resemblances are too many and too strong to deny. By Jonathan Rauch ntil recently, I resisted using the F-word to describe President Trump. For one thing, there were too many elements of classical fascism that didn’t seem to fit. For another, the term has been overused to the point of meaninglessness, especially by left-leaning types who call you a fascist if you oppose abortion or affirmative action. For yet another, the term is hazily defined, even by its adherents. From the beginning, fascism has been an incoherent doctrine, and even today scholars can’t agree on its definition. … I accepted President Biden’s characterization of the MAGA movement as “semi-fascist” because some parallels were glaringly apparent. Trump was definitely an authoritarian, and unquestionably a patrimonialist. Beyond that, though, the best description seemed to be a psychological one propounded by John Bolton, Trump’s first-term national security adviser: “He listens to Putin, he listens to Xi, he listens to how they talk about governing unburdened by uncooperative legislatures, unconcerned with what the judiciary may do, and he thinks to himself, Why can’t I do that? This doesn’t amount to being a fascist, in my view, [or] having a theory of how you want to govern. It’s just Why can’t I have the same fun they have?” Writing a year ago, I argued that Trump’s governing regime is a version of patrimonialism, in which the state is treated as the personal property and family business of the leader. That is still true. But, as I also noted then, patrimonialism is a style of governing, not a formal ideology or system. It can be layered atop all kinds of organizational structures, including not just national governments but also urban political machines such as Tammany Hall, criminal gangs such as the Mafia, and even religious cults. Because its only firm principle is personal loyalty to the boss, it has no specific agenda. Fascism, in contrast, is ideological, aggressive, and, at least in its early stages, revolutionary. It seeks to dominate politics, to crush resistance, and to rewrite the social contract. Trump’s appetite for lebensraum, his claim of unlimited power, his support for the global far right, his politicization of the justice system, his deployment of performative brutality, his ostentatious violation of rights, his creation of a national paramilitary police—all of those developments bespeak something more purposeful and sinister than run-of-the-mill greed or gangsterism. When the facts change, I change my mind. Recent events have brought Trump’s governing style into sharper focus. Fascist best describes it, and reluctance to use the term has now become perverse. That is not because of any one or two things he and his administration have done but because of the totality. Fascism is not a territory with clearly marked boundaries but a constellation of characteristics. When you view the stars together, the constellation plainly appears. … "

Weiss is also expected to make significant cuts to the newsroom. "

I guess it was fart spray or something but it could have easily been an acid attack. Trump's reaction obviously isnt surprising at all.

And of course, they've all run with "it was staged" since Trump suggested it.

Trump just posted this on truth social:

" The SCIF ( @TheSCIF Maria Zack testified about the stolen 2020 Election operation connected to Obama when he diverted $400 million from the infamous pallets of cash sent to Iran, funneling through the Dubai Embassy to operatives in Italy and Merrill Lynch in Geneva, Switzerland. In return, Italian officials at Leonardo SpA used military satellites to help hack U.S. voting machines, flipping votes from Trump to Biden using CIA-developed tools like Hammer and Scorecard. Along with numerous other methods of fraud and manipulation. China reportedly coordinated the whole operation, providing the tech backbone and bribes to corrupt Americans. The CIA oversaw it, the FBI covered it up, all to install Biden as a puppet. This is the global election fraud cartel and the real threat against American democracy and the rest of the world. 523 ReTruths 1.28k Likes 1/28/26, "

Somehow saying Trump and anyone who supports him should be locked up is wrong

If it's wrong, then I don't want to be right.

But unfortunately, even if the right's grand vision of a prison state came to fruition, we can't incarcerate half the country.

Idk if just minority section of US citizens but is kamala
Harris not being in a normal presidential process against the law? My neighbor phill says he shouldn't have to apologize for voting for trump because kamala was picked undemocratically

1/29/2026 5:38:59 AM

LOL! And do you believe THAT was the reason he HAD to vote for Trump? If the situation had come about in a different way, he would have happily voted for Harris? But he just couldn't do it because it didn't follow his most preferred path? Give me a break, Phill! Sad attempt at a convenient excuse to avoid the deserved labels of racist and / or hateful and / or extremely gullible.

" By any measure, the F.B.I.’s search of an election center in Fulton County, Ga., last week was extraordinary. Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as President Trump harnessed the levers of government to not only buttress his false claims of widespread voter fraud, but also to try to build a criminal case against those he believes wronged him. What happened the next day was in some ways even more unusual, The New York Times has learned. Behind closed doors, Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, met with some of the same F.B.I. agents, members of the bureau’s field office in Atlanta, which is conducting the election inquiry, three people with knowledge of the meeting said. They could not say why Ms. Gabbard, who also appeared on site at the search, was there, but her continued presence has raised eyebrows given that her role overseeing the nation’s intelligence agencies does not include on-site involvement in criminal investigative work. What occurred during the meeting was even further outside the bounds of normal law enforcement procedure. Ms. Gabbard used her cellphone to call Mr. Trump, who did not initially pick up but called back shortly after, the people said. The president addressed the agents on speakerphone, asking them questions as well as praising and thanking them for their work on the inquiry, according to three people with knowledge of the discussion. The supervisor of the squad, which investigates allegations of public corruption and civil rights violations and developed the evidence for the search, primarily fielded Mr. Trump’s queries, the people said. One U.S. official said the call was fairly short, perhaps just a minute long, and compared the conversation to a pep rally or a coach giving an encouraging halftime speech to his players. That person said the president gave no substantive direction to the investigators. Mr. Trump personally ordered Ms. Gabbard to go to Atlanta for the search, and coordinated her actions with Andrew Bailey, one of two deputy F.B.I. directors, according to the U.S. official. "

I have no idea what they could even do with this material. Worst case scenario it’s a Cold War era cia ballot box stuffing, but this all seems very illegal.

Even if they claim they won Georgia, that wasn't enough to flip the electoral college.

Biden still wins 290 to 248.

Although at this point, I kinda wish Trump would have just won so that we could be done with this crap and they wouldn't have had 4 years to plan and recruit the worst people in the world.

2/2/2026 6:54:40 PM

^I don't think flipping the electoral college is their intention. Their intention is simply to convince people that our voting system cannot be trusted.
