You explicitly wished for "a long four years" of the dismantling of our protections against foreign influence over our elections:

Erratic flip-flops. Even the Admin* struggles "to keep up with" what it's doing.'We're figuring it out': Democrats struggle to keep up with Trump's dizzying pace
... Actions are coming at so dizzying a pace that it can be tough to track what Trump has done and what he's turned around and undone.
At a news conference Tuesday, Trump said that he would send U.S. troops into Gaza, if need be, to stabilize the bombed-out territory. He backtracked two days later in a social media post.
The president imposed 25% tariffs on imports from two U.S. allies, Canada and Mexico, on Saturday, Feb. 1. Two days later, he paused the tariffs for a full month.
A 25-year-old staff member working with Musk resigned Thursday after being found to have made racist comments online and was rehired the next day.
The Denali — or rather, Mt. McKinley-size stack of executive orders gushing from the White House spans so many governmental and cultural fronts that disoriented Democrats appear unsure how to fight back.
Clever metaphor.
"s---": Another apt metaphor.... A strategy at the start of Trump’s first term was to “flood the zone with s---,” as Steve Bannon, Trump’s former White House strategist, memorably described efforts to keep the news media off balance.
Remember when RepuQs hated governing by EO? Hypocrites.But the speed at which Trump is moving this time around makes the phrase seem quaint. Trump allies and supporters have embraced a different term: “Shock and awe.” Indeed, an NBC News review shows that Trump signed more executive orders in 10 days than any of his recent predecessors did in their first 100.
The 47th president, Trump, has left the 45th president, Trump, sucking wind.
GoJudgesGo!... Resistance to Trump’s agenda is coming largely from two places: Democratic elected officials who are waging a fight for public opinion, and lawyers who are battling Trump in the courts. At this point, the lawyers are having far more success.
On Friday, a federal judge paused a deadline for the Trump administration to slash USAID to a few hundred workers, down from 5,000.
In the meantime, a group of 19 Democratic attorneys general filed suit on Friday to block Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency team from gaining access to personal data including Social Security numbers and bank account information housed at the Treasury Department.
A federal judge on Saturday issued a ruling that temporarily blocks Musk’s team from getting access to the data. The judge, Paul Engelmeyer, cited the risk “of the disclosure of sensitive and confidential information and the heightened risk that the systems in question will be more vulnerable than before to hacking.”
The rapist, fraudster and 34-time felon DonOLD Klan has been a criminal enterprise for a long time. Remember when RepuQs believed in law and order? Hypocrites.New Jersey’s attorney general, Matthew Platkin, whose state was among the plaintiffs, told NBC News: “There’s a lot of talk now that President Trump is flooding the zone. That just is a nice-sounding phrase for committing a whole bunch of illegal acts at once.”
... Trump claimed that his victory last year was a “massive” mandate, though his popular vote margin over Democrat Kamala Harris was just 1.5 percentage points. (By contrast, Joe Biden won the popular vote over Trump by 4.5 percentage points in 2020.)
It's the 2017 inauguration crowd all over again. DonOLD (echoed by SoupySales) lies and lies and LIES.
GoDemsGo... “There’s been an overreach in trying to stop payments that ordinary Americans rely on,” Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., said of Trump. “It’s almost been a reminder to voters that there are things about government that they like, such as their Social Security, Medicaid and funding for schools in working-class neighborhoods.”
... “Not one Democrat will give a vote until there’s an ironclad agreement that our appropriations that help people will be spent,” Khanna said.
MAGA hetero male White supremacy in action, again. The poor victimized dears are desperate. 
Could be Helene debris in WNC.
Gee, could AGW affect US Ag?The US Department of Agriculture under Donald Trump is taking a bold new stance toward climate change: out of sight, out of mind.
A new report by Politico reveals a concerted effort to scrub any mention of "climate change" from the USDA website. On Thursday, a memo circulated instructing site managers to "identify and archive or unpublish any landing pages focused on climate change," according to Politico. It also mandated that employees identify web content related to climate change and document it for further inspection.
The move could lead to the deletion of information from the Forest Service, Rural Housing and Utility Services, Natural Resources Conservation Service, and the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, among other subagencies. The memo has also circulated to the EPA, according to reporting by Jacobin
SheeeshIt's a particularly troubling sign as our climate shows signs it is buckling under the weight of our carbon footprint, increasing everything from the severity of wildfires to the frequency of major hurricanes. That our new executives are scrubbing all proof that the US government once acknowledged those dangers is pretty disturbing, to say nothing of the laws they're looking to pass.
With every new administration comes a host of small style changes to government sites, which can indicate policy directions under newly appointed agency heads. Not content just to rearrange some copy, though, Trump has taken to altering entire landing pages and scrubbing information that doesn't align with his agenda.
The DHS site, for example, has scrubbed mentions of Ukraine, information on Border Security office and enforcement locations, and tabs regarding EEO/Diversity, Ethics/Standards of Conduct, as well as Civil Rights and Civil Liberties relating to Customs and Border Patrol.
Since he's taken office, Trump has also removed the Spanish-language translation of the White House site, along with disclaimers and accessibility options for the disabled. That site also got a fancy new landing page, proclaiming "AMERICA IS BACK" under a prominent profile of Trump.
But not every government site has removed information. Soon after his inauguration, Trump's team added an official DOGE site, populated with AI-generated slop art and copy that reads: "Department of Government Efficiency. The people voted for major reform."
By 1.5%. MAGAts like SoupySales are SOOO gullible.
Petty, very petty. This is "Government Efficiency"???And back in meatspace, the Trump admin has also taken to pulling down portraits of previous Secretaries of State, including the two who served under Trump's first term. In the US Agency of International Development, staffers were baffled to discover Trump staffers had removed all pictures of federal aid programs, leaving only empty frames lining the halls....
