Are you a career civil servant who donated to the Harris campaign or ever made social media post criticizing Trump -- well, then you will shortly be out of a job. Because this is how fascists operate. Incoming Trump team is questioning civil servants at National Security Council about their loyalty https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-nsc-loyalty-waltz-21913da0464f472cb9fef314fed488e5 WASHINGTON (AP) — Incoming senior Trump administration officials have begun questioning career civil servants who work on the White House National Security Council about who they voted for in the 2024 election, their political contributions and whether they have made social media posts that could be considered incriminating by President-elect Donald Trump’s team, according to a U.S. official familiar with the matter. At least some of these nonpolitical employees have begun packing up their belongings since being asked about their loyalty to Trump — after they had earlier been given indications that they would be asked to stay on at the NSC in the new administration, the official said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive personnel matters. Trump’s pick for national security adviser, Florida Rep. Mike Waltz, in recent days publicly signaled his intention to get rid of all nonpolitical appointees and career intelligence officials serving on the NSC by Inauguration Day to ensure the council is staffed with those who support Trump’s agenda. A wholesale removal of foreign policy and national security experts from the NSC on Day 1 of the new administration could deprive Trump’s team of considerable expertise and institutional knowledge at a time when the U.S. is grappling with difficult policy challenges in Ukraine, the Mideast and beyond. Such questioning could also make new policy experts brought in to the NSC less likely to speak up about policy differences and concerns. (More at above url)
this is the government Americans want. at least the price of eggs will come down from 5 dollars for 2 dozen to 2.5 for 1 dozen
It's already happening...lower prices for less quantity (e.g.eggs) or grocery store item (e.g. tortilla) labeled as "large size" when in reality the grocery store item is the same size as the old "small size". Simply, lower prices and more shrinkflation. The one I hate the most is that refrigerated items do not last as long because of more transportation/supply problems in the United States that slows the delivery of foods to grocery stores. New shoppers will not catch on to the deception. In contrast, season shoppers will quickly catch the deception as they pay more for less. Yet, shrinkflation was first to documented in 2009 with Häagen-Dazs ice cream...I had to google that because I originally thought it began in the late 1990s. wrbtrader
it was happening to toothpaste for decades i believe. I was actually referring to JD Vance in front of some eggs. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/jd-vance-eggs-video-wrong-awkward.html
To be fair, eggs is one of those food items at the grocery store that can range from $2 dollars to $5 dollars at the same grocery store because of a large selection of different types of eggs (e.g. range, free range, organic, omega-3 enriched, vitamin-D enriched, white, brown, Grade A, Grade AA et cetera). Yet, last year I heard a little boy tell his mom in the grocery store to buy the eggs that do NOT come of of the chickens butt. wrbtrader
The egg suppliers don't seem to realize that Trump is going to enforce $1/dozen eggs... Heritage eggs at Safeway were $14/dozen on Sunday. Perhaps it's their last hurrah before succumbing to the alpha that is a 78yo built like an amoeba.
