Destroying a democracy from within requires you to first purge the opposition, replace the leftovers with loyalists, and then call yourself the Chancellor.
The last time this happened my country fell in 18 days to the Nazis.

Keeping Track of the 2nd Trump administration!
One thing Donald Trump and the extreme right were very good at doing is burying the track record of his first presidency from 2017 to 2021.
Keep Track is dedicated to literally keeping track, day by day, of the policy decisions made by the new Trump Administration.
That is not to say we're interested in the crazy things he says or tweets, he clocked over 30,000 lies the last time he was in office, I don't see how it's possible to track all of that. This is about POLICY. Nominees, executive orders, signed laws, and so on.
Subject line format should be {{date}} {{event}} so: "01-20-2025 - Trump is sworn in."
The international date format of 2025-01-20 is also acceptable!
Links should be to verifiable news sources, not social media or blog sites. So no Xitter/Truth/Youtube/Substack/etc. etc.

Sure he wants to shrink the size of the government. OR maybe he wants to replace them with loyalists.
Not only could this take an axe to the idea of a functional government, irreparably damage institutional knowledge and leave more room for incompetent fascist stooges, but 7 months pay is a huge waste of taxpayer money.
The speed at which russia is dismantling the US government is really something.
This is part of their RAGE strategy. Retire All Governmental Employees. Starve the beast on Adderall.
I see our war with the Russian Government is going well. Putin must be consuming a ton of champagne in celebration of his 'inside guy' destroying America. I wonder how much President Felon is getting paid?
Surprised he's even offering to give money.
Surprised you think they'd see any of it if they agree.
Not sure why you think I think that
Does he even have the authority to do it?.
He's offering to keep paying them to do their jobs but they have to agree to leave at the end of the fiscal year. They don't get the money upfront
So they were offered absolutely nothing
It's a trap!
That's FANTASTIC! And with all that Money Saved Somehow we can afford to give Billionaires MORE Tax Breaks!
