In that link about the last time US bureaucracy was purged, it took decades to undo the damage. If the Dem administration ever takes back the government, a lot of work to undo the damage.
The way DOGE is currently illegally burning through government institutions is pretty much an ongoing coup. At this point, it really does not seem sure that the US will remain a democracy at all.
Time for the liberal states to start discussing secession, I suppose.

Right now, probably not. But the conservatives’ candidate for chancellor has just tried to push through anti-migration legislation through parliament and he explicitly tried to do it with the AfD’s votes.
There’s a very real chance chance that there won’t be a government coalition with a majority after the next election, so Merz could form a minority government and rely on the AfD to supply the missing votes.
It’s not a very likely scenario, but at this point, it’s quite possible. CDU and SPD might not have a majority on their own (provided the SPD would even work with Merz’s CDU, which would be absolutely self-destructive), the CDU has ruled out a coalition with the Green Party, and the FDP is probably not going to make it into parliament (because we’ve got this 5 percent hurdle thing).
Throw out all your politicians and resurrect Adenauer. ;)
It sucks that these terror attacks lead to these gains for the worst parties. I mean I think you have to be able to point out when a certain group of people has a problem, wether that is muslims, white people, black people, whoever. But you can’t allow that to grow into hate for all of those people.

Well, I have zero problems with policies that actually would increase security – like increasing funding for social workers, making sure that convicted felons are actually incarcerated or supervised in a different manner. Not to mention, when it comes to refugees and asylum seekers, increasing funding for proper housing as well as language courses and social integration measures, as well as making it easier for them to be allowed to get a job.
Trying to reduce immigration itself drastically, on the other hand, is neither realistic nor even desireable (because as a society, we need about 500.000 immigrants a year to fill up the people retiring from work every year – we are an aging society). But it is pretty much the only measure the right wing is pushing.

Firing nuclear safety workers:
With the blitzkrieg executive signings, the gutting/defundings, pink slips and severance offers, he wants to come across as trimming excess from government, making it all “efficient” streamlined etc. Some voters are going for it but then, the voters never saw how interconnected things are. Some ended up voting for their own neighborhood resources gutted, their own jobs in jeopardy as (to their surprise) the DEI applied to them too, utility bills went up, prices in general, and their own foreclosures. And it is not even a month yet.
As for Musk, his companies were being investigated by federal agencies, and now Musk controls the the agencies.

One does have to wonder why. He had Zelensky over a barrel, anyway. What does he gain by humiliating him at this point?

And it’s important to keep in mind that Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. This has been building ever since the Republicans welcomed Evangelicals into the party in a big way, hewing closer and closer to religious extremism all the time. The Republicans as a party now exemplify two left-wing maxims: That conservatism consists of ensureing a society has an in-group that the law protects but does not bind, and an outgroup that it binds but does not protect; and that the cruelty is the point. The Republicans as a group revel in being given license to be cruel and Trump is an icon of that cruelty. Combine that with the transition to late-stage capitalism and the alienation of labour that goes along with it and people are desperate, so they’ll cling to whatever rhetoric offers a way out.
Which makes the Democrats insistence that they can slice away moderate Republican votes even more infuriating. There are no more Republican votes to slice away so all they’re doing is alienating their base.

Sure. Just the last part is what surprises me – I assumed he’d pretty much gotten everything he wanted and going further might endanger a deal happening at all. But I suppose Trump’s thing is that you can never go too far in your bullying; people will still come crawling back to kiss your feet. And they will, because they need US support.

Just to add: I do wonder whether he’s actually trying to get rid of Selensky. That’d probably be the only way to give Putin the total victory he wants. It sounds insane, but Trump has been doing everything do de-legitimise Selensky – using Russian propaganda speak – and has now staged a scandal which he can use as a pretext to not talk to Ukraine again until Selensky steps back.
I suppose it all comes back to pee tape, doesn’t it. Or at least to the pretty much undeniable fact that Putin has been trying to turn Trump into an asset for years.

Quite so.
At this point I’m mostly wondering whether Putin has some kind of direct influence over Trump (possibly blackmail), or whether it’s just that Trump likes to associate with other bullies and sees them as his people, basically. Turning a rivalry into a partnership where you carve up the world and let each other have a bite here and there.

The history of how evangelicals became mobilized and called the Moral Majority in the 70s is very interesting. It’s been covered in documentaries, brief videos, but basically once segregation was legally abolished, strategists (Paul Weyrich) turned to the abortion issue to get evangelicals involved and mobilized and they have been part of the GOP ever since:

Well, minus the couch-fucking.
I just realised that the even better but obviously far less known touchstone for this would be Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s play “Romulus the Great”, in which the last Roman Emperor is a buffoonish figure occupied with completely nonsensical pursuits while his Empire falls apart and the Germanic tribes are invading. The twist in the third act is that he actually is a deeply moral man who has decided that the Roman Empire must die for its crimes and is enacting this death penalty deliberately. It’s a very good comedy, and in the play the Roman Empire was a stand-in for American imperialism during the Cold War.

I don’t even know how to talk about US politics anymore. With his grandiose State of the Union, after having tanked the Dow Jones and badly damaging the economy in a lightning strike with his random trade war announcements (a real Liz Truss moment there) and wreaking chaos all over the country in just these few weeks… surely this can’t last for four years, right?
Which brings up how to get rid of a President. You guys have never removed a President from office*, and it’s unlikely that you ever will, even with a complete car crash like this one. Impeachment isn’t a realistic option here, no matter what happens, so… is there even another option of ending a President’s term before their time? Most countries have a vote of no confidence thingie in their constitutions to remove heads of government, but you guys don’t, do you? Unless he can proven to have committed crimes while in office, you really don’t have any way to get rid of a President, no matter how badly he’s fucked up, right? Because that’s really not a great situation, politically, as exhibit B shows.
*Well, apart from assassinating them, which doesn’t seem to be an option in Trump’s case.

Oh, and speaking of Trump destroying the US economy, the Tesla Takedown thing is also interesting. Tesla shares have gone down to being almost back to where they were pre-election and will probably continue downward sloping. X has very little hope of ever making enough profit to pay the huge debt Musk loaded it with in order to be able to pay for it. I think Musk may be self-destructing, as a businessman.
They’ll probably figure it out, of course, because this is a kleptocracy now and they’ll manage to somehow spend all of the government’s money on Musk’s and Trump’s businesses. But it would be very funny if they fucked up in doing so and just managed to ruin themselves because they’re such incredible fucking idiots.

Meanwhile, Starmer is doing New Labour but without the balancing effect Brown brought to it. Thus we get slagging off the civil service and welfare cuts to disability benefits.
Reeves appears hell-bent on being Labour’s Thatcher, forgetting how despised Thatcher is, both before and years after her death. Oh, and not to forget, McFadden, who gives off “how goes it, fellow kids?” attitude.
What infuriates is how timid they are, Starmer has a +100 seat majority and all he is doing with it is kicking down. His government repeats the same lines as the previous lot, minus the crazy stuff like leaving the ECHR. Actually, they might go for that too once their plans get them in trouble with that court.

Well Musk’s group of frat boys got access to the child support payment system, so he’s probably saving himself a bit of money by removing any record of him needing to pay child support to his literal dozen of children.
Didn’t the Supreme Court ruling last year essentially mean a sitting President can’t be charged or convicted of crimes? So I don’t think even that offers a venue to remove one from power now.
There is always an alternative of course…

There is also a lot of voting against themselves. Some who are really down and out actually still vote GOP, even when Dems had an economy package proposal that would have helped.
I came across this:
Now it might be debatable if that shack really is in that town. But even if you take away the pic, there is still the situation of poverty belts across the country, rural areas of trailer parks and poor small towns with similar demographics. And yet they are so “traditional” to vote GOP, even though some of the Dem packages of social programs and programs to stimulate the economy could go their way. As for Owsley, if/when the GOP has its way to cut Food Stamps, they will feel the “pinch”.

Tesla was massively overvalued for what it is, buoyed along by Musk’s pie in the sky promises about FSD and robots, but you can only bullshit about that for so long before people notice.
The funny thing is, if he’d kept his head down, let PR flacks write his statements and got his books ghost written like every other evil billionaire with a thoroughly laundered reputation he’d still be the guy who’s saving the world with electric cars and bringing us to Mars. but he got stupidly addicted to social media instead.

Europe and China have seen Tesla sales drop around 50% since last year.
In China, BYD is destroying Tesla. A coworker was telling me about them. He said they have developed a whole range of electric cars in different sizes, like major car companies used to do. They are also a shitload cheaper than Tesla. And their cars look good! Meanwhile, Tesla has basically the same bland design they’ve had for years. Other electric car companies have come out in the meantime with better looking cars.
Musk has made so many promises about Tesla over the years that he has failed to deliver on. I think Musk’s hard right turn has just accelerated a decline that was already underway.

He used some of his Tesla stock as collateral to buy Twitter. Should that stock value go down further, there will be demands from the lenders (margin calls) for their money, putting pressure on him to sell more to cover the demands, and his capacity to borrow against Tesla is going down. Between meeting the investor concerns, covering their demands, and the value of collateral diminishing… it’s a mess.

Honestly, Harris and the Obamas and certainly Hilary should all be taking a step back and shutting up for a good long while. But at the same time, the party should be promoting the voices who are actually out there and standing against this.

Yeah he was. And it was a good attempt to get him to catch the middle-of-the-road American voters, to have someone who – let’s be honest here – white (rural) Americans would trust. And he was a good choice for that, but a good VP candidate doesn’t really matter if nobody likes the main candidate.

So, one political firestorm later – yes, a week in politics is a long time, and it may be the disability cuts do not happen. Cue claims they were never on the cards. But if that was so, what of the private MP meetings, statements, PMQs? If nothing then it’s a waste of parliamentary time.
If this entire set of bad practice does get binned, then it was the government on a fishing trip. And a very stupid one as all the information to tell them it would be a terrible road to take already available.
It will also have cost the state a good bit of cash by excerbating conditions, with the NHS picking up the bill for those who need medical help.
And, let’s not forget, lost votes. “Hey, we didn’t go ahead with it, still vote for us?”
