    The lack of specific citations on a lot of these is really calling the whole image into question. If you can’t specifically point to a page in the source, it shouldn’t be included. It just makes it easy to obfuscate the real issue.

        Their point was that many of them don’t have page numbers. It seems suspicious to include a specific page for some but not others.

      A lot of them are domino effects, like getting rid of the department of education would eliminate school lunch programs. A little critical thinking goes a long way.

      The only one we can believe he wont follow through on is the divorce item, because he is on his… 2nd… 3rd, I dont even keep track anymore…

        That’s not what ending no fault divorce is about. It’s about making it harder for women to leave an abusive marriage without an expensive legal process. It wouldn’t be an obstacle to rich assholes like Trump.

        I’m clinging to the hope that tRumpy and his merry band of criminals and sex offenders will spend a majority of their time infighting and won’t actually accomplish much of this agenda, I’m sure some of it will get passed, but fingers crossed incompetence gets in the way.

    If the US implodes, will its resource usage finally drop? They are the most wasteful country on the planet.

      Ending climate protections

      And so are you. This will eventually affect everyone on a global scale.

        With the amount of measures piled on that plate, the first thing to be achieved is a severe and drastic reduction of the population.

        Just by terminating or severely crippling the federal agencies, a single hurricane season is going to wreak havoc over there.

        Now that I think about it, that is very Genghis Khan like.

                I won’t stop you but instead of killing them, it would be much more fair to deprive them of their wealth and turn them into unqualified workers.

              Radiation from nuclear weapons dissipates very quickly and the savagery is something you’ll get either way - in this case just with fewer people.

                Hiroshima and Nagazaki were the ugliest events of war in humankind history.

                The entire arsenal should have been dismantled after the Cold War and the technology banned.

                  I find mobs that rape, torture and cannibalize you worse - and that may or may not be the order they go with. Or just slowly dying of thirst or starvation. I’d rather take a quick blast to the face and be done with this bullshit.

        It’s fucked how people don’t realize this, or still talk like in 4 years it’s going to be over. We were on our way to 3 degrees Celsius BEFORE this election already. The rest of the world is not going to be able to compensate for the US emissions under Trump. I’d really like to hear someone explain to me what chance we still have, that does not boil down to “if we ALL act NOW, then we can DO IT!” type of copium. Because if we didn’t act before, then we sure as hell aren’t now. People apparently want it this way.

    I didn’t read this whole infographic, or check the page numbers.

    I feel the employment protection for federal employees is likely to have long lasting negative, or even catastrophic, impacts. If a federal employee who, for example, develops public messaging about healthcare issues does not follow policy directives from the executive branch, they can be just shit canned. This allows political motivation of whichever party occupies the White House to override science based policy and the best interests of the public.

    Now extend this to building codes; low income rentals could be built with safety as a low priority. Or food and drug regulations, forget gmo, we’ll be rinsing off poison pesticides if we’re lucky enough to have safe water.

    Now; if you were a subject matter expert in let’s say, rural water resources and treatment; would you rather take a lower salary to work in the public sector and be fired when you don’t endanger a whole geographic population? Or keep that decent professor job, or take a fat paycheck to work in the private sector?

    No one of any talent in the stem fields will consider federal jobs for the foreseeable future. The one benefit of government work, besides respectable benefits, is it’s damn near impossible to get fired- it’s a very stable albeit low paying position.

    Shits fucked

      I’m in federal IT and I’m looking to get TF out sooner rather than later.

      Benefits for working for certain state governments actually look a bit better than federal at my first glance…

    Crime is going to skyrocket with all the black market demand floating around. Lots of arrests mean lots of slaves in that for-profit prison system. Jail the migrants too, all kind of free labor. It’s still legal slavery folks! And your friends who own the prisons get money too!

    It’s sort of a win-win for the ruling class.

      They will likely be very upset by how the outcomes actually affect them… And then blame those (unimaginative schoolyard insult) dEmOcRaT lEfTiSt LiBeRaLS for things like getting abused by their bosses even more, past the point where it turned them on. =\
