Bully-POTUS
the clowns abound
I worked for the Federal government for 23 years. When administrations change, the workers are always given a new mission. Every president has his own agenda. We got used to it.
Trump, the convicted felon who was re-elected, is using his official office and his appointed Heads of Departments and Agencies to retaliate against those who were in the Department of Justice and part of the team that prosecuted him. He released all the insurrectionists, even those who beat police officers, causing harm, death, and PTSD to the officers and their families. Matthew Huttle, one of those pardoned, was stopped by Chicago police on January 27, had an altercation, and ended up shot dead by the police. The Federal complaint against Huttle was that he was at the Capitol on January 6th with his uncle, and investigators managed to get videos uploaded to his own Google account of him there. He said in one of his videos that a group of people were going to the Capitol and that he was "going to see if we can get inside." They identified him on security video inside the building, including inside the Capitol's crypt. Also arrested was Huttle's uncle. He agreed to a plea deal (like Matthew) and was sentenced to 30 months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. The complaint says he was identified on video assaulting officers with a flagpole on the steps of the Capitol. He was also pardoned.
I was happy to see Governor Newsom pointing his finger at Trump as he got off the plane in California with hat-wearing, shaded-eyes Melania. Trump didn't do anything back toward the governor because he is a bully and was confronted by a person with authority. After all, California's economy is the 5th largest in the world. I happened to be in Las Vegas on the day Trump had a rally at the Circa Casino. Why does he have rallies when he is elected? Video of the President of the United States showed him inside the Vegas casino heading to the craps table with a tiny crowd of people shouting his name. Give me the vomit bag now.
He and his wife are still hawking their ridiculous goods, and it is probably amazing to them that people buy them. I imagine they sit in their private quarters laughing while figuring out what to sell next. Donnie: "If they want to buy our stuff, let's give them more. They're buying the Bibles and the shoes. Hey, Melania! Maybe you should do a hair care line and sexy lingerie." Melania smiles broadly from far across the room, saying, "Donald, thet is a varry goood ideah." He tries to get a kiss, but she pushes him away and frowns.
Today, an email was sent to the entire Federal workforce. I have linked it below the story. It says, "The Reformed Federal Workforce" will be around four pillars: Return to office – they want everyone back in the office. The problem is that most of the leased space isn't there now, so they will have to let contracts and find desks, and this will cost money and put more traffic on roads. Performance Culture – they will review and reward excellent performance (not very good examples at the top, so good luck). Streamlined and Flexible Workforce – I hate to tell them, but it was streamlined sufficiently during COVID-19. They want to conduct Reductions in Force (except for people they know or like and need a job). The Fourth one is laughable – Enhanced Standards of Conduct, which mentions loyalty (like a Mob Boss that he aspires to). Trump and his team continually violated ethics standards in 2016 and are again embracing violations, yet they want to enhance the standards of their career employees. Federal employees are required annually to take classes. His son-in-law Jared didn't take them, nor could he correctly complete forms on personal investments that I had to complete. This email is bullying Federal employees, wanting them to run scared and leave the workforce. They offer, "If you resign under this program, you will retain all pay and benefits regardless of your daily workload and will be exempted from all applicable in-person work requirements until September 30, 2025." They have even included a pre-written resignation letter.
He is pulling the government apart thread by thread. People need to stand up. #resist

Greenland: Vance Warns Europe to Take Trump's Threats Seriously
The Greenland debate has escalated from a peculiar historical footnote to a contentious geopolitical issue in the 21st century. Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s interest in purchasing the world’s largest island has resurfaced, causing ripples not just in Washington but across Europe. In recent weeks, various experts and politicians have been warning Europe to take Trump’s ambitions seriously. One such figure, foreign policy expert Vance, has urged European leaders to prepare for what could be a challenging diplomatic situation. Trump’s Greenland Obsession: A Resurging Threat In 2019, Donald Trump made headlines by expressing interest in purchasing Greenland, a move that was met with widespread disbelief. The island, which is an autonomous territory of Denmark, was never up for sale, and Denmark’s leaders quickly rejected the idea. However, Trump's fixation on Greenland has never truly gone away. As the geopolitical landscape evolves, so does his interest in the island, which boasts significant natural resources and strategic importance. The Trump administration's stance on Greenland wasn’t just about territorial expansion; it was also linked to broader U.S. foreign policy goals. Greenland's location between North America and Europe has made it strategically vital, especially in the context of the Arctic’s changing geopolitical dynamics. The region’s rich mineral deposits, including rare earth metals and uranium, have further piqued global interest, and Trump’s desire to control Greenland was viewed by some as an attempt to secure these resources for American use. Vance’s Warning: Europe Needs to Prepare Vance, an experienced international relations expert, has recently sounded an alarm regarding the ongoing Greenland situation. His remarks focus on the dangers of underestimating Trump's intentions. According to Vance, Europe has largely brushed aside the possibility of a renewed push for Greenland, but that could be a fatal mistake. “I think Europe is making a grave error by assuming that Trump’s previous attempt was just a passing fancy,” Vance explained in a recent interview. “Given his track record and the growing importance of Greenland in global geopolitics, Europe must take this seriously and start preparing for all potential outcomes.” The warning isn’t just about the potential for Trump to try again. Vance also expressed concerns about how the U.S. might attempt to leverage its military presence in Greenland to sway Denmark and other European allies. The U.S. already operates the Thule Air Base in Greenland, a vital asset for its defense and intelligence capabilities in the Arctic. A stronger American presence, according to Vance, could lead to mounting pressure on Denmark to entertain the idea of a deal once more. The Danish and European Dilemma From a European perspective, the prospect of the U.S. attempting to purchase Greenland is a delicate issue. Denmark, as Greenland’s sovereign nation, would be the key decision-maker, but any move involving the island’s future could have far-reaching consequences for the entire European Union. For Denmark, the situation is complicated by both internal and external pressures. Greenland’s native Inuit population has expressed concerns about their cultural and political autonomy should the island fall under U.S. control. Meanwhile, many European leaders are wary of the growing tensions between the U.S. and Russia in the Arctic. The region has become a new frontier for geopolitical competition, with both superpowers seeking to establish dominance. Vance suggests that if the U.S. continues to press its case for Greenland, it could place Denmark in an awkward position. “The U.S. is not known for backing down when it has its sights set on something,” Vance warned. “Denmark’s ties to the EU and its own position in the Arctic are crucial, and the pressure from Washington could become overwhelming. Europe needs to think ahead about how it will respond.” The Strategic Significance of Greenland Greenland’s strategic value has only grown in recent years, as climate change continues to open up previously impassable routes and untapped resources. The Arctic’s melting ice has revealed new shipping lanes and access to minerals that were once inaccessible. Russia and China have already started to invest heavily in the region, both in terms of economic opportunities and military positioning. For the U.S., controlling Greenland would offer significant advantages. Not only would it solidify its presence in the Arctic, but it would also provide a staging ground for any future operations in Europe or the Northern Hemisphere. Moreover, access to Greenland’s vast natural resources could help America’s economic interests, reducing its dependence on foreign imports for key materials like rare earth elements. Vance argues that Europe needs to recognize the increasing importance of the Arctic in global power dynamics. “Europe cannot afford to overlook the Arctic anymore. It’s not just about climate change or environmental concerns; it’s a matter of global security,” he emphasized. “Europe must act quickly to secure its own interests in the region and ensure that it remains an equal player in the Arctic race.” Preparing for the Worst: A Call to Action As the situation with Greenland continues to develop, Vance’s advice to Europe is clear: preparation is key. He urges European governments to engage in strategic talks, not just with Denmark, but with other Arctic nations, to ensure that the region remains under international governance and not solely under U.S. influence. At the same time, Vance advises that Europe should bolster its defense and diplomatic efforts in the Arctic. Strengthening partnerships with key Arctic powers like Canada, Norway, and Sweden will be crucial in ensuring that Europe has a voice in any future discussions about Greenland’s status. Vance also stresses the importance of diplomatic engagement with the U.S. to mitigate the risks of any aggressive U.S. actions in the region. “Europe needs to have a unified response to Trump’s actions,” he said. “The stakes are high, and the time to act is now.” Conclusion: The Need for Global Cooperation As Trump’s ambitions toward Greenland continue to shape international discussions, it’s clear that this issue will have lasting ramifications for both the U.S. and Europe. Vance’s warning should not be taken lightly. Europe’s ability to navigate this complex geopolitical issue will require strong leadership, strategic foresight, and, above all, cooperation among European states and their allies. The future of Greenland may very well depend on how the global community responds to the growing power play in the Arctic. The coming months will undoubtedly test the resolve of European leaders and their ability to safeguard their interests in a rapidly changing world.

Excellent insightful work
I missed this! What an insight for Brits like me watching the tsunami from over the Atlantic. Great story.
Congratulations on your well deserved
Congrats on top story…
And this is why we need to keep writing. We need to spread the truth because even mainstream media is being bullied. Keep writing and informing our country what’s up. I’ll be doing the same.
Omgg I can't believe I missed this! Please forgive me, Andrea!! Anyways, I think we all feel the same way. I can't explain my frustration with what's currently happening, it's boiling my blood more and more each day. Thanks for sharing this, Andrea! Congratulations on top story, this needs to be heard! 💘🌟🥳🎉🥳🎉
My mother was a Career Federal employee at HUD, My father in State of Colorado Government. Both now 80, I was born when they were 18. I chose to go into Standup in 1985 because I knew I would do it very well and...how can you not? But I have seen serious things in my life. And I have earned an experience dealing with Monsters just like Trump. Reasonable men and women must remain in control of the Monster. I'm hoping more than myself will step forward. But, I know what and how, and why it is absolutely essential.
The way you describe Trump's use of his office to retaliate against those who prosecuted him is both chilling and eye-opening. How did you gather such detailed information about the insurrectionists and their pardons? Your insights into the current political climate are incredibly valuable. Keep up the great work!
You have my sympathy. I imagine you are torn between the need to sustain a salaried job that has served you well enough for 23 years and the need to tell a bullying POTUS where he can shove it. The regressive onslaught of illegal and irresponsible decisions this wannabe dictator has made in so short a time has left me speechless, and while I knew it would be coming, its tornado like effect has been unbelievable. I am more perplexed, however, that so many fail to see his antics. I on the other hand fear them and the impending doom they carry.
Wild that we're still not even fully through January. It's ridiculous how inefficient and confusing his administration is making things already. Should be interesting to see how much money they waste (like pulling people back into office space that doesn't currently exist) while yelling about overspending.
I agree! Trump is a narcissistic self centered bigoted moron! If you’d like you can share your wonderful article on my Facebook! ❤️
I have mixed emotions about workers working from home. Many times when I have called they don't have knowledge to help me, then I ask if they are working from home. However, I do feel that people are better off in the work place, if they don't the jobs will just be shipped overseas. However, I don't get into politics.
Andrea, this is all very worrying and does nothing to enhance my opinion of the President. I feel like this is going to get to a point where people MUST make a stand but how that will look, I do not know.
It’s disheartening to see the Federal workforce subjected to tactics like this, especially when they’ve worked tirelessly regardless of who occupies the White House. The message here isn’t just about politics—it’s a clear attempt at fear and control. This is about undermining public servants while distracting from real issues. We can’t stand by and let this bully pull the strings. It’s time to rise above and stand for a government that supports, not threatens, its employees. The fight for fairness and accountability starts with us. #Resist #FairnessMatters #EndBullyTactics
what is social media? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_media
Congrats in ts!
Yes he is a bully, and bullies always surround themselves with a pack of cowards & bullies. He is also threatening and insulting Panama with a bunch of lies that demonstrate he is a liar and is ignorant of history: https://medium.com/the-geopolitical-economist/trumps-lies-about-the-panama-canal-02330c3cc4a8 He threatens Panama because he owes 💰 millions in taxes, because it is a small country without an army. I bet he doesn't have the "cojones" to go against Russia, Germany or even Venezuela which is one of the primary causes of the wave of immigrants.
Thank you for your informative article. I'm an Aussie and find it extremely difficult to understand how, after experiencing Trump 1.0, the USA somehow thought that Trump 2.0 could possibly be better! He doesn't care about anyone but himself, making those that have wronged him 'pay' for their disloyalty, oh, and of course making himself and his buddies even richer. The rich get richer . . . and the poor get . . . screwed over and starve, or die because they can't afford their medicine! The joys of living in a Christian country, huh? My thoughts and prayers are with all those groups who are scared right now about what the next four years may bring!
I don't even know where to start with this man, how about 🤬🤬🤬🤬. Okay, I feel a little better now but seriously, he doesn't have a conscious bone in his body. We all know why they moved the inauguration indoors and kept his so-called supporter out in the cold. He's scared that someone else is going to try and take one for the team. So glad this got Top Story. Everyone including the minions need to read it.
Very good write up and congratulations on a true story 
Back to say congratulations on your Top Story! 🎉💖🎊🎉💖🎊
As a Canadian we watch, but i have a feeling we will survive and the next four years will make us stronger so that we will be become more self sufficiant.
Bravo from Canada. Your topic is one that needs expression, and you've expressed it masterfully.
It's frustrating when a president try to undone progress and set it backwards. I just don't get it. Why is there no one stopping him. He is adding more spending than saving. Congrats on Top Story !!!
Andrea, all of this is heartbreaking. My stomach turns every time I see his face. He has rescinded Biden’s executive order which lowered the price on prescription drugs and capped the price of insulin to $35. He has put federal grants on hold. He has put a freeze on federal aid which affects Medicaid and SNAP. These are all programs I rely on as the 24/7 caregiver for my mom. If these go away or are decreased my life, which is hard enough already, which become devastating. I don’t know if you seen some of my articles in the Swamp community, I have been very vocal here and in social media overall. Before the election I had conversations with several young people about why it was important to vote for Biden then Harris. Of the twelve I spoke with 4 went a head and voted for their third party candidate, 7 did not vote at al. I managed to convince only one to vote for Kamala. The others could not get over Biden/Harris’s handling of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Now several of them regret not voting or voting third party. What can I say? I am taking a break but will get back to fighting soon. Newsom, has done an excellent job as governor. He does a great job putting Trump in his place. Trump seems intimidated by Newsom. Newsom is smarter, stronger, aggressive, and taller. Great article, well researched, and well written.
