I am telling you. The USAID programs were not cut since they don't like what they do. Well maybe. They were cut because every RFP had a DEI clause. So when they searched using AI for DEI everything came up.

Like managing the port at CC and the aid shipment component. Yep, had the DEI clause. Also had a branding and marking clause. Also had a corruption clause. An anti-boycott of Israel clause. Rapid disbursement of emergency equipment to Latin America, run out of Miami. Yep, had all those clauses.

The infuriating thing is our coward in chief doesn't realize we hold all the cards against Russia.  He could bow up to Putin and tell him to hand over whateverthefuck we want.  But he won't.

I want to preface this by "Don't neg me bro"

But Biden held the same cards, but raised a few hundred million here an there instead of flopping out his Hunter Biden size dick and telling Russia to GTFO of Ukraine . It was fucking infuriating giving them HIMARS but not allowing them launch into Russian territory, withholding tanks and just giving them 35 old M1A1s, withholding ATACMS missiles, not giving other countries permission to give Ukraine F-16s.

 

With that said, Fuck Trump even more for parroting Russian talking points. Voting against Ukraine in the UN, aligning with China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba, Syria and other shithole counties that rely on Russian military force to oppress their people was fucking embarrassing.

If Trump's America is abdicating its position as supporter of democracy, then step aside and STFU. Let the UK and Poland step into Ukraine. The UK has already said they will put boots on the ground in Ukraine. Poland will probably do the same.

We didn't hold all those cards at the very beginning.  It took some time to expose Russia military as the paper tiger and wipeout 30% of those shitheads.  By the time this became clear, the election campaign was ongoing and that probably played into it as well.  Not having the House the last two years certainly took a shit on things.

Yeah, but she's got a vagina, so she can't be all the way one of them.

They aren't gonna stop until there's 535 white men in Congress and 9 white men on the SC.

I can't wait to see the look on MTG's face when she gets primaried by a 65-year-old white guy named Josiah who beats her easily.  Silver linings.

I guess making sure we have accurate economic data isn't going to be a thing anymore.

Experts worry about degradation of economic data after advisory committees disbanded
Here at Marketplace, we report on economic data from the government all the time: stats on housing, the job market, inflation, and much more. They help us help you understand where the economy is and where it’s heading. Government data informs business decisions, and assists policy makers to, well, make policy. 

But now, the Commerce Department has disbanded two groups that worked to ensure the government’s economic data paints a realistic picture. The Federal Economic Statistics Advisory Committee and the Bureau of Economic Analysis Advisory Committee have been around for decades. What happens next now that they’re gone?

Erica Groshen had no idea this news was coming: “This came out of the blue, nothing up until I got the email yesterday,” she said.

And she was on one of the committees. An economics advisor at Cornell University, Groshen was told that the decades-old committee was getting disbanded because its purpose had been fulfilled.

“You don’t fulfill an ongoing mission by canceling this communication mechanism,” she said.

That mission? To get a bunch of experts at the top of their economic fields to help the government.

“When the BEA wants to develop a new methodology or maybe go into a new area they haven’t been before, they can run their ideas by the committee,” said retired economist and committee member Marshall Reinsdorf.

He said advice was one major benefit. The other was government transparency — the committees opened their doors to the public.

“It gives them a chance to reach out and get their message out to a broader community,” Reinsdorf said.

Getting rid of these two committees doesn’t save much money. Mainly because the members weren’t getting paid, said former committee chair David Wilcox with Bloomberg Economics and the Peterson Institute for International Economics.

“So we’re talking about eight plane tickets, twice a year, one night at a non-fancy hotel. This was really inexpensive stuff,” he said.

And it was money well spent, Wilcox said.

Former committee chair Louise Sheiner with the Brookings Institution said with less input, the data that the government gathers will get worse over time. And that data is supposed to provide answers on GDP and productivity and jobs and inflation.

“Depending on what question you’re asking, you’re going to go to the data, and if the data are not good, your answers to those questions are also not going to be good,” she said.

Sheiner said disbanding the committees was a mistake. The Bureau of Economic Analysis declined to provide Marketplace with a comment, and the Commerce Department didn’t respond to our request.

I think we might have a messaging problem. 

It is supremely ironic that Maga dipshits, who have been completely converted into doing the will of their billionaire masters and voting against their self interests by decades of right wing propaganda, are completely unable to appreciate the value of investing in soft power around the world to advance our interests and goals.

That's not quite the transgenic/transgender mice thing, but it's got about zero to do with transgender anything.

What it is, partially, is testing to see what hormones, like those used in gender dysphoria, do to the body.

Okay - I didn't listen to all of the speach last night - so did Prez Huff & Puff talk about Guantanamo detainees? I'm thinking he didn't because after sending down and additional 1,000 troops right after the inauguration to support housing up to 30,000 deportees, it turns out that only a few hundred were sent down; and the last report I heard about a week ago was that 17 were still there.

Yeah, have known enough folks with VWs over the years that they fall in the "absolutely no fucking way" bucket for us.  Doesn't matter how pretty or fancy it looks brand new.  "Pretty and in the fucking shop" doesn't do us any damned good.

Well, one of my closest friends is a VW specialty mechanic (did decades at Kenny Hill Automotive but he's moved on).  He assured us the Tiguan is legit.  To be sure, we haven't had problems, but the recall is still annoying.

Crockett: Let me ask each of the mayors… Have any of you been made aware of any immigrant that has had 34 felony convictions that has still been able to roam in your cities? I’m just curious because we are so concerned about crime and I know that my Republican colleagues would never want anybody with 34 felony convictions roaming around because that could be a danger to the community.

Absolutely 100% fearless. If I ever have to go into battle, I want her fighting beside me.
