  1. Bingo. He gains nothing by feeding Trump's ego. Don't waste one second on him. Go to Starmer and Macron and get what you need. The Czechs ramped up the donations to buy the Blackhawk after Trump was a dick to him.
  2. Senator, I think you might want to check out the Euros.
  3. I wonder how many of these conversations are being had.
  4. @Fastbreak Because Reagan told them Government was bad in Mississippi in the same place where they shot people for registering black voters. Because LBJ called it right. And because Atwater knew how to stoke the racism without saying the n word. Because Willie Horton and Welfare Queens. They want to hurt other people and they are going to be in the same target area. Fucking conned and too proud and hateful to admit it.
  5. Don't care. I replied to Bozo on that earlier. At this point I just don't give a shit. We're looking at real fucking damage from the repeated firings. These idiots will probably be suckered into voting against their own interests AGAIN. He could have just as easily replied in the appropriate thread that's easily a dozen pages iirc I'm fucking pissed off. They are too prideful and ashamed to admit they have been played. They wanted Medicaid to be taken from brown and black people. They wanted to see people getting fired in places full of Democrats. That ain't how it's going is it? So, there ya go. That's what I am here to discuss. He can stay on topic or keep getting negs.
  6. Is there anything about this that addresses the Trump voters that got fired? No. It's bullshit to distract from the fact that people that voted for your party are getting their lives turned upside down by a heartless bunch of neo Nazis. So fuck off
  7. Fuck off. You waltzed in here with no intention of staying on topic. Address any one of the posts dealing with Trump voters getting shit upon by the party they voted for and I will engage you. You're a noxious windbag.
  8. You came in here and started threadshitting. Bozo stopped replying. Have some more negs.
  9. Peters’ job included replanting forests with young saplings, and he said he put in “100% effort all the time.” Supervisors were apologetic when they called to fire him, explaining that his name was on a list handed down by the federal Office of Personnel Management. A follow-up letter contained the same terse message that was sent to at least four colleagues in Peters’ roughly 40-person office, and 3,400 workers across the Forest Service: “The Agency finds, based on your performance, that you have not demonstrated that your further employment at the Agency would be in the public interest.” Peters feels betrayed by politicians he helped put in office. He voted for Trump in November, impressed by his vows to bolster the economy and slow immigration across the southern border. “If I had known that this was going to happen,” he said, “I wouldn’t have voted for him.” https://www.greatlakesnow.org/2025/02/trump-firings-hit-great-lakes-sea-lamprey-program-michigan-forestry/ The news came in an email from the acting administrator of his agency. It said that it would not be in the “public interest” to continue further employment, citing his performance, “For this reason, the Agency informs you that the Agency is removing you from your position,” the email further stated. Because they are concerned about possible retaliation and a likely appeal to the Merit Systems Protection Board, the couple asked WTOP not to use their names for this story. ___ The termination is complicated by the fact that last November they supported Donald Trump when he sought the White House for a second term. “I voted for Donald Trump. But this is not what I was expecting,” he said. “We didn’t think they were going to take a chainsaw to a silk rug.” https://wtop.com/virginia/2025/02/this-civil-servant-and-veteran-voted-for-trump-now-hes-out-of-a-job/ “The letters are willfully incorrect and to our belief in NTEU unlawful," Berman told NBC10. "They say essentially 'your ability, skills and performance do not make you a fit for federal employment. In addition, your performance is not up to par.' This is patently untrue. These are being all issued with the exact same wording to every single one of these probationary employees, whether they have just gotten out of training and had no performance metrics. Whether they have been here for almost their entire year and had very good performance appraisals." ___ “You know when he talks about government waste and all that, yes, I’m behind it,” McCabe said. “I believe there is a lot of stuff in the government that needs fixing. And that’s part of the reason why I actually wanted to work for the government, actually. To help change. Help change the things that are wrong in the world, you know? I thought that someone with his business acumen would have come in with a fine-tooth comb and actually found it instead of coming in with a wrecking ball and destroying people’s lives for no reason." https://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/philadelphia-irs-layoffs-firings-union-president-trump/4114738/
  10. GODDAMMIT drag his bullshit over to the proper thread. Don't engage that fuckhead. He's too lazy to find it for himself
  11. Stay on topic jackass. Or live up to what you said about staying out of CR
  12. Y'all we have a gerrymandering thread. I know it's a hard task to stay in focus when someone that said they weren't ever coming back to CR decides to be a distraction, but there's a lot of face eating happening and I would damn sure rather hear about that.
  13. Good to hear. It's a little annoying when I have to pay the same for a Dr. Pepper as I would for a beer.
  14. Noble Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman points out that nowhere are children more at risk from the proposed “savage” Medicaid cuts than in West Virginia, a state that voted overwhelmingly for President Trump — and where Medicaid provides health insurance for an astonishing 45% of children, the highest figure in the country. Doubling down on his idea that the cuts are savage, Krugman’s article addressing the Republican authorization is titled Cruel and Unusual. Krugman writes of what he characterizes as a perception among conservatives — especially MAGA conservatives — that they can “safely target [Medicaid] for cuts, because it’s mainly a program for inner city people of color. But that was never as true as people imagined and is definitely not true now. Again, consider West Virginia. It’s one of America’s most rural states and overwhelmingly — 90 percent — white. Yet as we’ve seen, it’s deeply dependent on Medicaid.”
