  1. 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.

  2. @wdlindsy

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

    #PowerGrab #MonkeywrenchTheSystem #FTZWS

    Does this violate the First Amendment?

  3. @KimPerales

    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.

    #FTZWS #FTHWS

  4. @grrlscientist
    That's sure an extension on the position of Trump's government about violating American citizens #FirstAmendment free speech rights.

    As far as #ClassifyTrump goes, that fits with #FTZWS, #DisplayFacism, #PunishOpponents & #PowerGrab.

    8. #PunishOpponents

    Think this is needed after seeing #FTC being set on #MediaMatters.

    (Others being:
    1. ⁨#FTZWS⁩ Flood the zone with shit.
    2. ⁨#FTHWS⁩ Fill their heads with shit. ("You tell them how it is.")
    3. ⁨#MWTS⁩ Monkeywrench the system.
    4. ⁨#PowerGrab
    5. ⁨#ObeyPutin
    6. ⁨#ThoseBucksStopHere⁩ Grift, pay-to-play, rackets.
    7. ⁨#DisplayFascism⁩ Be an unashamed fascist in public.)

  6. @freezenet

    Wondering how to categorize this corrupt Trump action.

    Like so much it fits in Flood The Zone With Shit.
    And #DisplayFascism and #PowerGrab.
    And somewhat in #ControlTheNarrative.

    But it needs something more as well.

    CrushOpponents? CreateFear? PunishOpponents?

    Currently seven categories.

    1. #FTZWS Flood the zone with shit.
    2. #FTHWS Fill their heads with shit. ("You tell them how it is.")
    3. #MWTS Monkeywrench the system.
    4. #PowerGrab
    5. #ObeyPutin
    6. #ThoseBucksStopHere Grift, pay-to-play, rackets.
    7. #DisplayFascism Be an unashamed fascist in public.

    Seeing corrupt actions by Trump that the above don't contain well enough?

    Please let me know.

  8. @randahl
    Trump: "You tell them how it is and they just believe you. I don't know why, they just do."

    The problem is that too many people do believe Trump (about most things - they wouldn't believe him about Covid vaccinations.)

    This corrupt action by Trump seems different to #FTZWS Flood The Zone With Shit - maybe Fill Their Heads With Shit #FTHWS?

    #ClassifyingTrump

  9. 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

  10. @GottaLaff

    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.

  11. The #India - #Pakistan escalation has me thinking that Trump's corrupt actions including Flood the Zone with Shit #FTZWS and the rest of his poison are also functioning as modelling for other nation's leaders.

    There are Trump's intentions and additionally consequences he hasn't considered.

  12. 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.

    #FTZWS #MonkeywrenchTheSystem #ObeyPutin #DisplayFascism

  13. 3/?

    Adding

    5. #ThoseBucksStopHere - graft, grift, bribes, pay to play, blackmail.

    6. #DisplayFascism - parading of Trumpian fascism.

    In addition to 1. #FTZWS, 2. #MWTS, 3. #PowerGrab, 4. #ProtectPutin

    Do you see other useful categories of Trumpian actions?

    #Trump

  14. @jstevenyork

    Trump is lying openly.

    A King, a despot, a dictator.

    #FTZWS, #MWTS, #DisplayFascism.

    (Flood the zone with shit, monkeywrench the system.)

  15. @trumpwatch.bsky.social

    #Hegseth's appointment to a critical position fits with;
    #FTZWS flood the zone with shit,
    #MWTS monkeywrench the system,
    #DisplayFascism &,
    #HelpPutin.

    Other fits?

  16. 1/?
    Trump and Trumpists: Actions categorized by effect. (An action can be in multiple categories.)

    1. Flood the zone with shit. #FTZWS eg MTG on Pope.

    2. Monkeywrench the system. eg Appoint Hegseth as SoD, Executive Order on showers (see below), starve public service of workers.

    3. Increase relative power of Donald Trump (short to medium term). eg Tariffs, #AbregoGarcia stays in ElSalv

    4. Protect RU interests. eg Withdraw support for UKR, stop ISR bombing Iran.
