Trump is politicising the US military with his #FortBragg performance.
Probability of #InsurrectionAct being invoked and #MartialLaw being imposed is now IMO above 60%.
#Midterms happening? IMO likely not.

"empowers political appointees to validate research outcomes, overriding independent expert review"

Does this violate the First Amendment?
@jmcrookston
I'm attempting to #ClassifyTrump or more specifically his and his government's corrupt actions.
This fits with #MonkeywrenchTheSystem. And #DisplayFascism.
But it has authoritarian imprisonment/detention/kidnapping elements which "monkeywrench" and "display" doesn't capture.
?
🤮
It must be such a really great time to be in organised crime, what with Trump spreading disruption and restricting resources.
“He openly brags how he controls Judges, and even Justices of the United States Supreme Court — I hope that is not so, and don’t believe it is!,” Trump wrote.
I understand Trump to be telling his base that Judges & SCOTUS Judges are corrupted.
This is Trump doing both #PunishOpponents and, though it's so frequent now that it's easy to miss, #MonkeywrenchTheSystem - of course the POTUS attacking and threatening the judiciary for doing their work threatens judicial independence.
I'm understand this as a consequence of Trump doing #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem with his appointments, leading to cascade reactions that flood the zone with shit and fill his base's heads with shit.
"The judges that Leo sold me aren't Nazi enough. What a fucking sleazebag."
#LeonardLeo #MonkeywrenchTheSystem #ItsSoHardToGetGoodHelp #DisplayFascism
One of the possible classifications for Trump's corrupt actions is #MonkeywrenchTheSystem.
The wrinkle is that the "The System" doesn't evoke, for me at least, the breadth or depth of what he is monkeywrenching.
Some position markers on "the system";
Ebola infection reporting programs,
climate change prevention programs,
arts funding programs,
US education programs,
diplomatic relationship protocols, &
weather forecasting programs.
smh
Is anyone tallying this stuff?
#ClassifyingTrump
Trump goes to some effort to flood the zone with shit #FTZWS.
He has found the response by the media and public useful. He benefits by disrupting rational discourse.
The other possible effects of a Trump FTZWS event can be missed in the heat of the moment. These have included #PowerGrab s and #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem.
The power grabs are the most dangerous I think.
We've seen the start of the havoc he's made by taking and using the power to declare tariffs.
And he'll stop there? rhetorical
Thinking this is another Flood the zone with shit #FTZWS move, and will be used to #DisplayFascism.
And wouldn't be surprised to learn that Trump has violated a law, regulation or established practice by doing this which would have it being #MonkeywrenchTheSystem too.
#MonkeyWrenchTheSystem
#DisplayFascism
Option:
Hold a visting head of government captive.
cf Carney visiting US for tariff talks with Trump.
Yuck.
I create a corrupt-Trump action classification called #MonkeyWrenchTheSystem and then ideas of how to do it bigly start gathering;
#MartialLaw
#ConstitutionalConvention
#ExpandSCOTUS
Others?
Thing is - the #Project2025 folk will have been gathering all these together for years I think. If so they've got a book full of them. And with action pathways attached.
I think Trump talking about invading Canada and Greenland is both him flooding the zone with shit - diluting out useful public discourse, and monkeywrenching the system of diplomatic relationships and inter-nation communication.
(And too he is puting his fascism on display.)
I think this because; I understand Trump to be owned by Putin and RU does not want USA even more around the Arctic Ocean and North Atlantic Ocean.
