Ah yes, inflation is tamed, the war in Ukraine is over on day 1, and tips and social security are no longer taxed, and the budget is balanced. I forgot.
Personally, I'm sorry to have bugged you about this. I will seek first wisdom before I open my bitch mouth, or whatever that thing is you say lately.

It's a pretty good argument winner. If you just call the other person ignorant, there's no real response. And really negates the use of a forum on which friends discuss issues. Keeps it to the important business of discussing movies and how to make homemade hot sauce.

Good call.

USAID employees stranded in foreign riots.

I look forward to 4 years of Republican hearings about the administration's failings.

The US Embassy got overrun? Typically that's big news, considered an invasion of American soil, and the Marines are none too happy and there's a body count. They usually go all out to evacuate US citizens at that point, and the Marines call it a NeoOp. Or, they used to. May have a new name now.

I bet the rich hedge fund manager found it really synergistic to marry a homely lawmaker.

They should storm the capital. It's not treason when it's for your own side.

I see people are big mad about the email message below. Lawsuits are being filed and it's being called unlawful to ask this of employees.

I'm super excited about the lawsuits and hope they win. I have a meeting every week to discuss what people in my department have done for the past week, and I want to be able to say, "It's none of your business what I did...now pay me."

It's stupid. But that's how Elon does things lately.

But notice you talk to your team about it, not random people

My ponder is.... fine, three million federal employees answer the email with their bullet points.

Who is going to read and process and analyze those 3m emails?

From what I've read, all they have to do is respond to their boss.

Weird how many people in this administration said they'd release Epstein stuff on DAY ONE, and yet... here we are.

After flipping several holdouts, the House has approved a GOP budget outline, taking the first step on President Trump's agenda. This plan would allow up to $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, and increases deficits by more than $19 trillion over 10 years.
