      • Trump fires everyone he wants on day one of his first term, because there’s nothing to stop him no matter how stupid the picks are

      • Biden keeps some of them across his entire term, because of vague rules that only he can abide by, for some reason. Even when everyone would love him to remove the evil bastards and would look good for polling.

      • Trump fires everyone he wants on day one of his second term, because there’s nothing to stop him no matter how stupid the picks are.

      Always weird how the rules are only in place for anything that would benefit the public but aren’t there for “I made this EO that personally shoots every kitten in America”.

      I mean, when you don’t give a shit about whether your actions have any basis in legality at all, you can do whatever you want and leave it to others to try and clean up after your decision.

      Bezos already has one.

      (And of course there are the older standard corporate ones - UPS and FedEx for example)

      Just more wealth redistribution.

      The year is 2050 2026. The suburban streets, once a place where kids could be seen playing are now devoid of life. The shouts and laughter of children gone.

      They have been replaced by roving bands of cyber trucks, carrying mail and parcels for the residents. Honking outside homes to goad the occupants to collect their mail.

      But they do not. For they know if they leave their homes, they may be identified as tarmac and run down by the self driving AI.

      This is the new world order. This is DOGE.
