Welcome to Thunderdome

We're definitely going to learn how powerful the presidential pardon is between Biden and Trump.

Well, at least we got all our home renovations done before 2025.

Three Iranians charged in apparent state sponsored plan to assassinate Trump.

Probably still not an act of war.

-------------------------------------------

10 minutes and 33 seconds of tweets in 5 second intervals of people threatening to kill or begging "someone" to kill Trump and Vance. Right wing extremism is simply out of control.

OK, but, 1) Foreigners can't kill our president, 2) only we can

*Checks history books...*

Correct.

If we were Dutch, we could hold the threat of cannibalism against him to behave. Alas.

Expound.

It's been a while

Amazing pull.

Also reeks of white privilege that you know that.

lol.

Dude, he was ugly enough!

Tulsi Gabbard has been parroting direct from Kremlin TV propaganda for a while now. To a level that would make Fox News blush. She was adamant about there being bio labs, iirc. The idea she could be director of intelligence signals very poorly. Jesus Trump, all sycophants aren’t created equally.

Trump has promised 25% tariffs on Mexico + Canada on Day 1, and 35% on China.

Pretty sure NAFTA Jr (USMCA) prevents the first set of tariffs.

That'll cure inflation.

YAy 25% tax increase on everything.

Senate report on government works paints an ugly picture.

A paltry 6% of the federal workforce “report in-person on a full-time basis” while almost one-third of federal workers are remote on a full-time basis, in a sharp turn-around from the pre-pandemic era in which only 3% teleworked daily, a report from Sen. Joni Ernst’s office found.

I'm sure there are a lot of government jobs that can be done from home. However, 94% of them?

Also, are we still paying for their offices to be heated/cooled/remodeled/guarded/etc?

How has this work from home policy negatively affected the services taxpayers receive?

I dunno. I WFH 80% of the time, and I love it. But I also get my shit done.

Ditto, but we both know a lot of people aren't.

It being the government, I'd be more than willing to bet the numbers of lazy people doing nothing in their "remote jobs" is higher than the private sector.

If Elon leaned into his new position, it could be a federal worker bloodbath.

Ok, this I actually support. Government computer systems are complete ass and I can guarantee their software is also a disaster. However, how does one go about purchasing new PCs and software packages when you don't know how many people you're buying for?

The hardware is the easy part.

That software fix is going to be a nightmare.

I want this to be true so badly.

"They" say releasing the list would harm society. Horseshit. "They" just don't want a list with their name on it being released.

It could have people at every level of government, Hollywood, Wall St., sports, etc. and the country would be fine.
