450 of the “right” people.
Seems likely. Project 2025 starts with clearing existing federal employees. Phase 2 is filling them with Trump loyalists. They came up with a list of such people.
There is one issue with the plan, though. They seem to be having problems getting those people to commit. ICE is putting up huge incentives to join, and also bringing in people from other agencies who would otherwise be fired. They also put a 22 year old with no national security experience in charge of anti-terrorism at the DHS.
They won’t have trouble finding people. The Hitler youth probably thought they were the good guys.
They aren’t offering huge signing bonuses and student loan forgiveness because of a surplus of volunteers. The core MAGA base isn’t that big. A chunk of them are disillusioned over the Epstein Files–maybe not enough to go against Trump, but enough that they won’t show up to help, either.
I still think they will be flooded with applicants. But, those sign on bonuses… I’ll bet they don’t pay out when it comes down to it.
If they don’t pay out, they’re even bigger idiots. It’s a bad idea to stiff your own goon squad. But Trump is dumb enough to do that.
He’s totally dumb enough. It’s not even dumb, it’s just who he is as a person. He will get angry one day, when the match the impossible promises he makes, And pull all the benefits. Anyone who trusts Trump deserves what they get
Gotta say DOGE was a clever way to do it.
Republican dementia hard at work wasting the country’s resources. Guillotines are cheap and effective.
Do it
With AI only.
Uh, feel that efficiency
It was never really about efficiency. It’s about political control.
