    This sounds like a positive development, the incompetence will slow him down. The fuckwits will be stumbling over one another. Short of mass suicide, I’m not sure what better a result we could hope for.

        I wonder if anyone has ever realistically gamed out how just how big a mob it would take to get into someplace that well protected.

        Not like when the 3 y/o ran through the fence or anything, like to brute force inside the actual important side of the Whitehouse.

        It’s nothing like the Capital building, that’s for sure.

          My guess is that it’s much smaller than most people would think. If you could get 1000 protestors to split up and block key access routes, you could probably take care of things with 100 well trained soldiers, maybe even less. The key is to distract with the protestors, get police busy on the other side of town, then when everyone is looking at that, smoke out and rush, breach with TATP, and storm. Those floor plans of the WH that just got leaked will probably be helpful.

          Really the best time would be during the first big snow storm in DC where the traitor is in house. Visibility on cctv and other surveillance will be unreliable at best, road conditions will slow any response. Tracks will most likely all be covered by the morning. You can cover your face and wear multiple layers without raising suspicion.In that case just breach and storm with 100-200 men from all angles, rig any helicopter pads and roofs to blow, although weather will make it difficult for a helo as well. Try and post 5-10 man teams on any of the evac tunnel exits that you know of from the WH. Once the mission is done disperse out into the storm and disappear. Oh yeah, no fucking cell phones, as if that needs to be said.

      I mean, would he even notice? I’m not so sure that he has reliable bowel control on a good day…

    “Shock and horror” is more like it. I’m assuming he will replace people that don’t fall in line with more white supremacy, boot licking, pig fuckers.

        This would actually be the best way for the MAGA movement to end I think, but I doubt they’d believe he really killed himself.

        (Also Trump thinks he’s a fucking god-perfect human, and he’s a pussy. There’s no way he’d off himself.)

    At this point I’m surprised someone hasn’t made a website with a checklist comparing his actions to a different dicators throughout history and how many have done the same things.

        That’s a pretty nice website. Although I was more thinking of a very simple one that is literally just a table. With his actions in the first column, and a second column listing which dictators have done a very similar thing and when.

        Having it directly show which dictators have done the same things and how many of his statements and orders match their rise to power, is a simple graphic to let people relate to the dangers directly from what they know.

            That’s why it hasn’t been made yet, actually collecting the data is the time consuming part.

            You could literally make it as a static page with an HTML table using old-school borders and zero CSS. Hell, that might actually help convince the older republicans even more.

            Although to be fair, you could probably use “ai” to collect a lot of the basics about who has done similiar things. That way you just have to check if it’s true and get the link, instead of trying to research each thing.

      To be honest I assumed most Whitehouse staff are political appointees. If that’s the case he’s looking to fire all the incompetent people he brought on himself. But some may be apolitical.

      The article says “starting with mid-level staff” and they clearly don’t know how to do things. If they mean White House literally, low-level staff are probably the only people who do know how to do things right now. I doubt the kitchen workers, cleaning staff, tour guides, etc. are even people to Trump. Even the chef/kitchen staff just probably has to handle state dinners and other events but most days, just make a McDonald’s run or burn a steak.

    How many times does this guy have to fill a swamp before his followers realizing there wasn’t anything to drain until he showed up?

      I mean… there was and is plenty of swamp to drain, it’s just that Trump was never actually gonna do it. Legalized corruption is part of why we’re in this mess.
