Buckle up kids, it’s going to be a bumpy dictatorship

Trump has been president for literally 4 days and he’s already settling us into our new authoritarian regime. A few updates in case anyone hadn’t been keeping up:

• At least twice now he or a member of his staff have made completely false claims that have been proven wrong already and offered no evidence to support what they were saying, then refused to take questions about it
  
• Kellyanne Conway called their lies “alternative facts”
• Trump has decided that he will choose which members of the press are allowed at his press conferences
  
• He pulled a full Kim Jong-un and made his inauguration day a holiday (of patriotic devotion, as though 4th of July doesn’t exist ????)
  
• He’s passed 6 executive orders so far and has stated his plan to add at least 2 more in the coming days which, among other things, will strip away healthcare from people, restart construction on the Keystone Pipeline and the DAPL, restrict foreign aid to anywhere abortions might be done, put a stop on refugees from Muslim countries entering the United States, and start building the Wall™
  
• And if that weren’t all scary enough, at least six journalists are facing felony charges, 10 years in prison, and $25,000 fines for reporting on the unrest surrounding his inauguration. Felony charges. For covering an event he didn’t like.
  

I’m sure there’s more but holy fuck this is getting terrifying.

I cannot believe I forgot the biggest one/the reason I made this post. 

He has put gag orders on multiple government agencies like the EPA, the Department of Agriculture, the National Parks Service, and the Department of Health and Human Services.

Reblogging so everyone can read these. Don’t let this become NORMAL.

There are no US ambassadors because Donald Trump just fired them all -

Here is probably the most interesting part of the article.

It is common policy, however, that politically appointed ambassadors resign at the start of a new administration. It is less common to have no replacements in line.

As many as 80 ambassadors for countries, agencies and issues - such as the ambassador for global women’s issues - have been discarded at once.

The move now threatens leaving many countries without Senate-confirmed envoys for months and cutting off a direct line to the President, and some in countries which have sensitive relations to the US.

Wait… seriously?

Seriously and it’ll take a while to fill those spots.

apparently what happened (if i’m not mistaken) is that these ambassadors traditionally offer up their resignation at the start of a new presidency but almost always keep their position, like the resignation is just a symbolic gesture? but trump’s team didn’t realize that and they actually accepted people’s resignations but they can’t admit that the trump admin is actually that fucking stupid so they’re just….going with it

we gone full isolationists now

its almost like he has no political experience and wasn’t fit for the job or something
