    From last thread Re: Dumbfuck…

    Why yes of course. After an extremist Fascist party defeated a centrist candidate who ran so far to the center she brought the Cheney family on board…

    Blame the ‘radicals’ for saying feeding kids and helping veterans is just what we do while we give all people the right to be who they want to be.

    Next time be MORE centrist. Be the REAL party of Reagan.

    In a sign of reaching out to Blue States on the West Coast the Trump Administration hired former Judge Vance Day as a DOJ advisor.

    Day once received the longest judicial suspension in the history of Oregon AND was reprimanded for posting a portrait of Adolf Hitler in his court.

    But don’t you DARE make any connections that all of us can NotSee.

    Who’s letting a part-time temporary federal employee bark orders to a million full-time career federal workers? Why, Trump the Orange Moron, of course.

    Meanwhile, Tesla stock is down 36% from mid-December. Trump Media peaked later, a week before inauguration, but is down 44% since then; and the decline of both stocks has picked up speed in the last week. Investors are voting against these guys with their feet.

    Eliminating waste, fraud, and abuse, USAID edition:

    ” … a potential new pandemic [is] emerging from the DRC’s eastern region in part due to the U.S.’s recent freeze of humanitarian aid under President Donald Trump’s administration. Dr. Jean Kaseya, who serves as the director general of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, recently told news outlet Health Policy Watch that laboratory testing has all but stopped in the area and there’s limited transmission of medical information.”

    Trump doesn’t need Zelensky to get his hands on Ukraine’s minerals, because he’s got Putin.

    Russia has proposed to the Trump administration a potential agreement under which the United States would gain some ownership of rare earth minerals and other valuable metals in parts of Ukraine controlled by the Russian military, according to two U.S. officials familiar with intelligence on the matter and another person briefed on the proposal.

    This looks suspiciously like receiving stolen goods.

    I don’t mean to alarm you and the Trump CDC is barred from telling you…

    The current bird flu has become endemic to cattle in the U.S.

    What that means to you as a person is cook your beef well done. I don’t give a FUCK if you know how a steak should be eaten. What it means for your pets is stop feeding them any ‘raw’ hippie high end pet food.

    The current bird flu has a 90% fatality rate for cats. And the more cats infected, the better odds a human crossover happens.

    If 1 percent of the population controls most of the disposable wealth, what we call “the market” reflects what they think is useful or important, not anybody else.

    House Republicans, with no votes to spare, passed a budget resolution that pays for billionaire tax cuts by taking money from Medicaid and food stamps, which has been expected all along.

    The view from here is pretty nice, I’ll grant you that.

    Now get back to work.

    Jacob Manner @ xitter.

    I’ve been a proud Trump supporter for three elections, and now my business just got cut off from our Federal contract. This is BULL. We’re not some DEI quota filler we do real, hard work. We need to get in touch with someone ASAP to fix this mess.

    Republicans did that.

    I’ve been a steadfast conservative for decades. While I was initially skeptical of Trump, I’ve since become a devoted supporter, fully embracing his leadership and vision. But now, after being laid off from the GSA, I find myself in a tough spot, struggling to stay afloat and wondering how I can continue to support the cause when I can barely afford to live. Any advice from fellow patriots?

    Republicans did that.

  20. 20

    The poll found 71 percent of voters who backed Trump said cutting Medicaid would be unacceptable. Voters overall were even more opposed to it, with 82 percent saying so.
    Six in 10 Trump voters also said cutting food and nutrition programs would be unacceptable.

    Republicans are doing that.

    Former Oklahoma Republican Lawmaker Sheila Dills

    The stories I am hearing first hand are devastating. I am all about efficient government and overall support the current administration, but efficient government doesn’t matter if we don’t fund LEGITIMATE research that protects us from deadly toxins. I know a young lady who has done everything right, poured her heart and soul into her education, has won every award possible, is the top of her PHD class at OU and whose research as a STUDENT will lead to therapeutics for deadly diseases. BUT, now she has watched fellow Doctoral students be stripped of their funding (much more than “back office” costs, we are talking entire fellowships)and fears everyday she will be next and the bright future she has earned at Vanderbilt for her Post Doctoral studies through total sacrifice will be taken away. A strong economy and military do not matter if we are all dead from infectious diseases! That special research student is my daughter!

    Republicans did that.

  22. 22

    To clarify, the House passed a budget resolution, not a budget, and the idiot @ 16 & 17 doesn’t know the difference.

    Jersey Shore areas, who voted nearly 2/3rds for Trump, bemoan and brace for big tourism losses as Canadians cancel trips to the Jersey Shore amidst fallout from Trump tariff policies and insults towards Canada
    Republicans did that.

    In this video, Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) recycles 10-year-old news stories that 6.5 million people are “on” Social Security, but fails to mention that auditors found “no instances” of anyone illegally collecting benefits under those old numbers.

    Amount of savings achieved by kicking dead 112-year-olds off the Social Security rolls: $0

    If we hadn’t illegally funded Wuhan there wouldn’t have been a deadly infectious disease.

    So let’s not do illegal.

    The good news: Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit won’t have to pay taxes on his Social Security income.

    The bad news: Robinhood Dumbfuck Rabbit and the Missus have such a pitifully small AGI that they have not had to pay taxes on their Social Security income. Sad!

    @Jason
    1. Please explain which Americans need the @USPS in the era of email, Amazon delivery, UPS, Fedex, DHL, etc.

    2. Please explain why it needs to be five or six days a week instead of once a week

    Anyone who has ever had a corporate job is familiar with the idea that the executive suite has no fucking clue how anything works. Why seven days? Well your insurance company won’t sign off on the anti-psychotic prescription until you’ve run out. If there’s a gap, well what’s an episode threatening the public safety if you go a day or two without?

    And it’s not like Amazon pays the USPS millions a year to deliver the last mile. I mean if you are on a Kansas Farm and Amazon killed off the local hardware, what’s a few more days to get the spark plugs for the harvester? USPS initiated Sunday service BECAUSE Amazon paid them to guarantee 48 hour Prime Delivery ™

    Why just the other day I got the heat lamps to keep the egg laying flock alive overnight via email. Not sure how. 3D printing or something?

    @29 “Amount of illegal Democrat votes prevented by kicking dead 112 year-olds off the voter rolls: Thousands.”

    Prove it. You like to play lawyer, so let’s see your evidence.

    @31 I can hardly wait until “Jason” has to either drive to the next town to pick up his pain prescription after having a root canal or wait a week for USPS to deliver it in the mail.

    orange pants shitter brought out its not so secret weapon:

    Burchett said his conversation with Trump was the key factor to changing his mind.

    “It’s not everything I wanted, but in this game, you’re either at the table or on the menu,” Burchett said. “It was time to get to the table. There was no quid pro quo, but the president assured me that he would work toward cuts, and he’s never lied to me.”

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2025/02/25/johnson-reconciliation-trump/

    i.e. elmo and teh shitler youth. Never lied??? I bet it babbled to any magat kongress kritter on their knees that it “got the job done” on the fucking wall.

    “So, the alternate headline should be ‘former Obama staffers leave Trump administration over disputes about cutting government waste.’ “

    infectious diseases! That special research student is my daughter!

    She should check to see whether her daughter is gay, maybe she’d start to wear a rainbow pin.

    Now get back to work.

    Huge swathes of people spend their days performing tasks they secretly believe do not really need to be performed.

  43. 43

    Federal spending in the 2024-2025 fiscal year is about $6.75 trillion. The House GOP budget resolution calls for a minimum of $1.5 trillion spending cuts, which they characterize as “waste, fraud, and abuse.” That’s an incredible 22% of all spending!

    Republicans think (a) simplistically and (b) across the board, so this can easily be broken down as follows:

    22% of all Social Security and Medicare recipients are dead
    22% of all federal workers drawing paychecks are dead
    22% of all federal contractors are dead
    22% of all Medicaid and food stamp recipients are dead
    22% of all active-duty and retired military personnel are dead
    22% of all veterans receiving medical care in VA facilities are dead
    22% of all Treasury bond holders are dead
    22% of all National Park visitors are dead
    22% of all congressmen and senators are dead

    See how easy it is? Just stop paying zombies, and voila!, a third of the deficit disappears!

  44. 44

    The House budget resolution presupposes $880 billion in cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, and ACA. Ever wonder where they got that number? Not from complex calculations; basically, from clicking on a computer link (here). You see, the net debt interest in the current fiscal year is $882 billion. Weird, huh, how those numbers match? It sure looks like they decided to pay the bondholders (including China) with money allocated for health care for American citizens, doesn’t it?

    Republicans have no imagination. They can’t do simple math. That reinforces the conclusion that when they looked at interest expense, they went “hmm” and said “let’s take it out of health care” (but not their own, of course). It’s just like balancing the family budget, to spend more here you spend less here, and Republicans have always thought the federal government should be run like a family budget.

    @49,

    This is wonderful. Now I can flee the criminal charges I face here at home, come to Texas, and open strip clubs and chop shops exclusively employing the low level criminals from my home country who currently work for me.

    Now get to work!
