Fucking WHY
politics
Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

So they can ensure they’re only parroting the party’s lines when they do resume communications.
Is that a real question?
It's textbook behaviour for dictators: Control all the information.
To suppress the soon-to-be outbreak if bird flu
Remember covid? Numbers go up = bad. No numbers = no bad.
He operates on optics and not reality. As long as the spin is good, he doesn't care if the thing happening is actually good or bad. If everyone died on earth except him he would think it was a great thing he didn't die and not oh no everyone died.
Drumpf's "reality" and scientific reality tend to clash on a number of things
He’s listening to RFK
If the admin wants whistleblowers, we should probably give them whistleblowers.
If you work for a health org and your manager tries to pull some fash shit. Blow the whistle. If you see that there is waste with un-administered or destroyed vaccines. Blow the whistle.
That’s a .gov address for an office that will be administered by Trump officials. That will get you shit canned immediately.
Don’t report it to the corrupt assholes committing the corruption. Go to the press.
There are whistleblower protections. There will be a requirement to bring this to court for the public to see it. If you're getting fired already due to DEI. I don't see why not. There is going to have to be pushback to these policies.
Go to the press.
Good point. https://www.propublica.org/tips/
In an administration run by a man who has stated he wants to be a dictator, we shouldn't assume the rule of law will hold any force, including whistleblower protections.
Next time, OP, don't just post a picture and a quote with no attribution.
That was by accident. I thought it kept the link when I added the thumbnail.
Thanks for adding it back in :)
Lmfao they’re gonna fuckin kill us all
Hope we see some mass civil disobedience. Feels like it would be the patriotic thing to do.
We won't hear about it because he'll control the media with the fear of shutting them down if they don't publish only what he wants to be heard.
Brilliant.
