"rump" - a small or unimportant remnant of something originally larger.
"once the profitable enterprises have been sold the unprofitable rump will be left"

That's what the USIP became after Doge it took over, this also happens be a cosmic coincidence to be labeled as a *rump organization because if DOGE hadn't been empowered to do so by the nation's anal orifice, all this shit wouldn't have happened.

It's all cosmic poetry.

Thanks for the thread Rhiannon

And whats going on in this country after the election of a convicted criminal and failed businessman is truly surreal and his unhinged and self-serving decisions get worse every single day.
