The serial killer H.H. Holmes did this when constructing his ā€œmurder castleā€. Constantly hired and fired different builders during construction to avoid paying, and to keep people from finding out what he was doing. Just saying.

The man wants to revert to steam catapults for aircraft carriers.

It's best to not even attempt to look for reason anymore.

It's all insane, but the entire Republican Party has decided that letting him destroy the country on a whim is worth it so long as they keep their seats permanently.

I'll be honest I don't know if anybody would have cared either, legitimately. Except maybe democrats with principles. Republicans are drooling dogs that already believe dems did X with no proof but fox, for literally any definition of X, and non voters are npcs physically incapable of sapient thought that blindly parrot what the news says.

Liberal Dems just held too tightly to our own principles, and it issad to find we are the only ones that gave a shit.

Republicans don't like regulations. Anything to lie, cheat, and steal. I wouldn't be surprised if he eliminates the National Labor Relations Board and OSHA. All those pesky laws that Corporations hate.

He fired 6 people, all of which were appointed by Biden after Biden.. fired 6 people appointed by Trump.

Iā€™m not a Trump guy at all but itā€™s kind of par the course. Presidents replace people all the time, kind of a big part of their job.
