Shit's about to pop off, but we don't know exactly what the orders are yet. I figure we could collect them in a single post and discuss as they come out.

Edit: Official link for orders: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/

    Is anything even going to get done with all the government agencies doing audit after audit over the next four years?

    "ENDING THE WEAPONIZATION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT"

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/ending-the-weaponization-of-the-federal-government/

    This one is where every federal department gets audited for any actions they may have taken against Republicans or their friends over the past four years. This one is written so non-threateningly, but is open-ended enough to be used as a purge of pretty much every department of the fed, with threats of non-compliance to " be referred to the Attorney General."

    "RESTORING THE DEATH PENALTY AND PROTECTING PUBLIC SAFETY"

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-the-death-penalty-and-protecting-public-safety/

    This includes pursuing death penalties for anyone who kills a cop "regardless of other factors" and for any "illegal aliens" who commit a capital offense.

    It also includes this terrible bit: "The Attorney General shall evaluate the places of imprisonment and conditions of confinement for each of the 37 murderers whose Federal death sentences were commuted by President Biden, and the Attorney General shall take all lawful and appropriate action to ensure that these offenders are imprisoned in conditions consistent with the monstrosity of their crimes and the threats they pose."

    Where they will punish people who were commuted by Biden by ensuring that if they can't give them the death penalty they can give them a life of torture.

      They're going to let the feds harass Leonard Peltier in his house arrest and make his life as close to the misery of actual prison as they can.

      This is why Biden is fucking pathetic for commuting instead of pardoning him and others.

    "RESTORING FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND ENDING FEDERAL CENSORSHIP"

    https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/restoring-freedom-of-speech-and-ending-federal-censorship/

    This is largely the no-more moderating hate speech order, but this bit is pretty sweeping: "The Attorney General, in consultation with the heads of executive departments and agencies, shall investigate the activities of the Federal Government over the last 4 years that are inconsistent with the purposes and policies of this order and prepare a report to be submitted to the President, through the Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, with recommendations for appropriate remedial actions to be taken based on the findings of the report."

    The Attorney General's office is going to be busy as hell keeping up with all these wide-scale audits of Biden's regime that pretty much every order calls for. Altogether, these orders point to sweeping retaliation within the fed for the past four years, and an explicit threat to get in line for the next four. Not unexpected, of course.

      Bit idea: we just spam "crakkker house" nonstop on White House social media, then sue the government when we get banned for comically large amounts of money.

        I think in the EU, Venezuela, Brazil and Australia, the banned posts are hidden but if you use an USA vpn you can see the removed posts. Idk how long this will last though.

      This makes no sense because Trump himself was a vaxxer and big believer in covid. He's doing this for the base and not because he believes it's a good thing.
