Since Trump is slang for fart in UK, I propose it be re-renamed to Guff of America in his honour. I bet he wouldn't even notice.

I mean Trump has literally forced both Canada and Mexico to move a standing army in the thousands to the borders now, so I see he is not wasting time with this casus belli.

I agree, at least people are doing something. I just know that it's not enough, and its sad to sit across the Atlantic and see it all unfold in slow motion day after day. The Republican party aren't following the rulebook, running roughshod over countless historic conventions, firing people they have no right to fire, taken control of agencies responsible for paying employees. There is only a small window now before they take complete control of federal agencies. The opposition would need to also stop playing by the rulebook to even stand a chance.

Project 2025 is like the military leaders from 1914 from the European nations that were desperate to put their untested war doctrines to the test, waiting for the excuse to do it. They have the manual. They have the machinery in place and someone has turned it on. They have thousands of people dedicated to seeing this plan through in official positions of power now, each with their own small but significant part to play in the takeover. I have a feeling it is now nearly impossible to turn it off.

I really hope those opposed to the takeover have the conviction to stop what's coming, but I don't think they grasp even now what it will take to stop it now. There's an underlying assumption by key opposition figures that this will play out like a Hollywood storyline and giving big speeches with the right words will mean the Constitution and other existing legislation will save them. Trump's cabal didn't follow the law before, so it will do nothing to stop them now.

Civil lawsuits against a taxpayer-funded administration and the richest man in the world aren't going to touch the sides during this blitzkreig coup. Immediate intervention with arrests and sanctions, combined with widespread unrest from local authorities and public protests are likely to be the only way anything will change now, and it would have to happen soon, before Elon breaks into the final remaining departments to take over.

Vehemently despise.

Get fucked!

This is so they can build in an excuse to fire everyone in IT.

I've always considered Musk to have the look of the Innsmouth about him; pale clammy skin, wide eyes clumped above his guppy jaw. I hope he will be lured by the ancestral calls and return to the murky depths in due course.

And the fact it just tells Spanish-speakers to "go home"...

The sentence really should have been tied to a post in the front row of a Dethklok concert, where his hands are sliced off by the hovering lighting rig laser drones, his gigantic belly ripples against the might of Murderface's bass rig until the skin tidal waves over his face suffocating him, then a portal to hell opens directly in the cavity where his brain should be and sucks his body (inside-out) into a fiery pit of sulphur and flame, promptly ending the Trump reign and starting 1000 years of Dethklok.

I remember my first playthrough similarly - I joined the Stormcloaks thinking the rebels are usually the good guy underdogs... that was before they started spouting their racist ayrean views, lost all sympathy for the cause at that point and made that storyline less enjoyable.

Without looking into it, it is entirely possible they were.
