Enacting the will of the people. Apparently the people are at best dumb and at worst evil.

The EO will simply call on Congress to make a bill to actually eliminate it, which would need a 2/3 vote.

So basically, it's not happening.

This might be a good chance for Democrats to undermine the GOP by being super extra bipartisan and giving the GOP the votes they need, thus ensuring in the next elections that every moderate voter will be so impressed with how regressive and feckless Democrats are that they just have to vote for them.

Brother, Trump tried to merge the DoE with Labor back when Republicans had a stronger hold on Congress and couldn't even get that anywhere near done.

He is not going to get every Repub and half the Dems to support this.

Why are you pretending he's not more than willing to completely bypass normal procedures like he's having Elon do as we speak?

Why deflect like this and pretend that isn't happening?

So if the Department of Education currently holds my student loans, and then the Department of Education ceases to exist, does that mean my student loans cease to exist

No, Elon will buy all the loans and your payments will go to him instead

Cool, if he buys them, they'll go away after 7 years of not paying them.

This doesn't eliminate the DoE. It starts the process, it would still require Congress to actually eliminate it and there will not be enough support to pull that off. So no, the DoE will not be abolished.

What he CAN do is gut it so badly it is effectively DIW which I guess will more or less have the same effect.

all of the doe workers have already been placed on leave, so essentially fired in all but name only

Do you have a source? I haven't seen anything confirming this. I only see stories about the employees who went to DEI training (also horrible and likely illegal) but do you have a source for mass leave for the whole agency?

Never underestimate an incompetent individual in a position of power, it also doesn't help he's rich.

Yeah. Elon is literally too rich to do anything except fail upwards. Nobody in that position is ever competent.

Yep, and too many people said they either didn't give a fuck, or said everyone was a doomer.
I distinctly remember protest voters saying this as well, even going so far as to accuse Democrats of fearmongering for their votes.

When parents have to watch their kids in the day cause they send them to school, then they will complain.

also please remember, the stupid ones are the violent ones in most cases, they believe anything, so they can be manipulated towards MAGA or against it with clever word play
When you find my sanity, please ask it to put pants on and return home, in that order please.

Vance already gave us the solution to this: have your parents watch your kids while you work. Assuming they're still alive and healthy enough to watch children...and not working...and you have a good relationship with them...and they're willing to watch children nine hours a day, five days a week instead of enjoying their retirement...

He'll get dragged out kicking and screaming. Or die of a heart attack in office.

You mean back when he didn't have a SC majority and he had people like McCain blocking him?

Tell me where are those people now? Clearly you aren't aware of the staggering difference in personnel between his first term and now.
He always had a supreme court majority. While he made the conservative majority bigger it was always a conservative majority while he was in office.

LMAO you're so mad that I called out your horseshit.

And if you could've posted that link instead of whining, why didn't you? I wonder...

You didnt call out anything. You posted your usual internet hardass nonsense. You could have just ignored my comment instead of acting like board cop. Why didnt you? Its obvious.

Republicans want people to stay uneducated so they can stay in power. There is plenty of research out there that has shown the more educated you are, the more you tend to lean left of center.

What has thrown a wrench in that has been right-wing media flooding social media - namely TikTok and Instagram - with a ton of right-wing propaganda. They learned they need to target the uneducated and uninformed people who dont follow the news and its been working.

Well, maybe so after Trump adds Canada and Greenland as states.

Hell given how things are going he will probably just declare them states anytime now and have google start updating maps.

Appalachia is especially tragic because it's such a beautiful part of the country and for some reason voters consistently vote for the worst possible option nearly every time.
But have you ever considered that black and gay people exist!? Those are national crisis material right there!
