  1. Stonekettle: ”Trump on immigrants: Put them in camps at Gitmo! Trump on crime: Put them in camps in El Salvador! Trump on the homeless: Put them in camps outside the cities! Trump on Gaza: Put them in camps in foreign countries! I don't dunno, but there seems to be a common theme to all these final solutions.”
  2. No kids, huh?
  3. Ah, you could manage a lil smokie. You can do it!
  4. Smart people are smart. Nice.
  5. They never said any of those things. They did not issue invitations to speak at the DNC, yes. But, not the same thing. I forget, did those groups speak at the RNC? But, perhaps you can show proof (facts) those statements were uttered?
  6. Eldest is doing microbiological research at UT Health in SA. Federal funds have been cut. UT stepped up and filled in the gap. She is concerned about the future of her doctoral studies.
  7. Why’d you make me hit you?
  8. I never saw this, but there can never be enough pointing and mocking laughter directed at this hateful cunt. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAYvpxLRJhw/?igsh=MWdvc3c5OXlvdWkzbA%3D%3D
  9. Of course. With respect, I suppose I am curious where you believe a person can best escape the finding out part of this fucking around.
  10. Torching all leases for federal offices. ”One of the next moves in President Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s sweeping effort to fire government employees and curtail operations is using the agency that manages thousands of federal employee worksites around the country to cut down on office space. Last week, regional managers for the General Services Administration, or GSA, received a message from the agency’s Washington headquarters to begin terminating leases on all of the roughly 7,500 federal offices nationwide, according to an email shared with The Associated Press by a GSA employee.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-musk-gsa-terminate-office-leases-f8faac5e2038722f705587c8dd21ab26?user_email=dabc81d5ec766cfb0c88230c077bd88afdc57894c6b8dcdfcf8102146e6ce9b3# I presume there is a financial penalty to violating lease terms. And, as skunk said, the government will have to reinstate that which was cut stupidly, which will incur additional cost, so, how much money do they think they are saving? Flood the lowlands! Leave no water for crops!
  11. Here’s the memo from acting deputy attorney general Emil Bove to FBI leadership ordering the purge of agents who did their jobs.
  12. If the US economy crumbles, where in the world would one go to avoid the fallout?
  13. You’re not a rule of law kind of person, it seems. Because, I expect the government to follow the law. I also now expect thousands of folks to lose their job, and millions to owe additional fees for being late on payments. Further, I expect lower courts to reject these goings on and for the executive branch to largely ignore the judiciary; when this ends up at SCOTUS, I expect pure Calvinball.
  14. The Texas Tribune has a report on uncapped oil wells, and the story probably belongs in the climate thread, but the report focuses on the paltry amount of money designated to address the problem and how none of the money has been spent. Uncapped oil wells are a serious problem. For instance, one well just upped and created a brackish, 60 acre lake, which is emitting hydrogen sulfide, among other toxic substances. Texas is not a serious state. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/02/04/texas-leaking-abandoned-oil-water-wells-tceq-railroad-commission/
  15. Bad news for bourbon distilleries, as Canada used to buy more bourbon than any other country- “New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said Monday she planned to remove U.S. alcohol from N.B. Liquor stores and avoid signing all but the most essential new contracts with U.S. firms as a response to President Donald Trump's tariffs. But she put part of that on hold late in the day, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the U.S. president would delay the tariffs by 30 days. "For now, American products will remain on ANBL shelves but we will not be purchasing new product,” Holt said in a statement. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/new-brunswick-tariff-response-alcohol-1.7449099
  16. This puzzles me. “Elon Musk announced that he has dissolved the Internal Revenue Service’s free file program, effectively firing the staff who worked on the popular program, the Daily Beast reports. The billionaire revealed that he “deleted” the group of individuals who oversaw the system that allows Americans to easily file their taxes for free on the IRS website” https://politicalwire.com/2025/02/03/musk-says-hes-deleted-free-irs-tax-filing-program/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hubbub-pro
