Yesterday I walk up behind some maga hat freak at the store here in Kihei and the dude is talking the native Hawaiian cashiers ear off about trumps executive orders. Her eyes are obviously glazed over in disinterest. As he pays he hands her what looks like a $100 bill and says “keep it for yourself or give it to someone.” Hmm, maybe this guy is alright. I walk up and see that it’s a fake bill with Trumps face on it. She obviously tore it up. These people are sick.

You should be able to kick someone’s ass for this type of thing.  The only thing you should have to put at stake would be the other guy maybe kicking your ass, but the law should be neutral.

He’s not wrong. Our music is boring and our clergy tend to be too soft-spoken. Not super flexible about the beatitudes or what Jesus actually says we’re supposed to be doing, either. Even when it’s inconvenient.

Ironically, Icono is an Episcopalian. Or was last I heard, at least.

He’s not crystal methodist?

This regime comes only to conquer and destroy.  They will not create anything, they will not build anything.  The administration mottos is essentially "now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds."  This is what the MAGAts wanted -- destruction, chaos, wreckage.   The rubble is how you know you actually DID SOMETHING!

Oh, and also, if you want to know how deeply our oligarchs have bent the knee....I'm still on FB (I know, I'm an old, it's how I keep up with a good number of people...although I will say that a lot of folks are indeed saying "peace out.")  On that platform, I don't consume pro-Trump content, have never clicked on an ad for Trump shit, any of that.  Well....my feed is pretty much non-stop Trump shit: Trump whiskey glasses, Trump t-shirts, Trump this, Trump that.  Seriously, I probably get 10 ads for Trump or Trump-adjacent shit for every ad that actually relates to things I've actually searched for, bought, etc. (you know, what I used to get: cooking stuff, fishing gear, and various curvy middle aged women who want me to click through a buncha shit to check out -- SURPRISE! -- their OF page).

Our oligarchs are full-on propaganda arms of the regime, and they're proud of it.  Because dear lord, can you see how much SHAREHOLDER VALUE they are creating (and/or personal wealth for themselves)???

The EO specifies development assistance which is pretty precise.  USAID is going to get whacked but military aid should not.  Up in the air for economic assistance sent to Ukraine via the supplemental funding package. 

Yeah, that is how I see it. And I am not just talking Ukraine. PEPFAR is fucked, Global health is fucked. Food programs, fucked. Public Diplomacy, fucked.

OBO and shit like that will be ok. Military aid and FMS will depend on Sec Def more than I want to think about.

Would this mean contractors wouldn't be paid and workers would lose jobs?  

Because, fuck 'em.

In Texas alone, there's over $5 billion in project funding, the largest chunks of which are, yes, for highway and bridge maintenance and construction and similar projects.  Adios.

Hey Trumpers, you know those "neverending construction projects" that back up traffic and piss you off so much?  Enjoy the numerous projects where roads and such have been torn up for resurfacing, bridge lanes have been shut down for repair, etc......staying that way for months/years.  Next time you bitch about delays caused by construction, make sure you bitch in the direction of Cheeto Benito.

Yea I didn’t realize it was fake until he was out the door or I would’ve given him a word. He was a little old for me to fight, but also:

Bingo!

He got roasted for not accomplishing a damn thing during his first term. Biden comes in and enacts sweeping change w/ the Infrastructure Bill, CHIPS, etc. Now his play is to stop everything, pretend that Musk/DOGE is really fine tooth combing the spending, and then announce in a few months --when the GQP senators and congressmen who all voted against these acts but are now claiming victory for their constituents while the money flows into their districts come begging him to release the funds-- that King  Trump is doing everything that Biden couldn't do.

And MAGATs will lap it up like a kitten to a saucer of milk.

The Apprentice shtick is so sad.

Yes, but it worked for how long? When something works he does not lose it. The cute, insulting nicknames. Worked, keeps going. MAGA worked once, well here we are.

Remember, the people who voted for him are also the ones who like regular tv's Tuesday night line up.

Why are all of these people in a church anyway? What she said could have been taken directly from the Bible. Fuck that shit! Deport her!

I always kind of figured that the vast majority of "religious" people were completely full of shit about it, but it's really depressing to get the confirmation this way.

This one concerns me. There’s been a DART rail project just south of me whose funding I assumed was part of infrastructure bill. It’s basically cut off access south of me unless I (and many others) cut through neighborhoods. I’ve jokingly said “thanks, biden” many times. The project has been in progress for a couple of years, and it’s no where close to being complete.

Honestly you could have been forgiven for thinking it was counterfeit money. It'd kinda be your duty to report him to the Secret Service. If he's innocent, he has nothing to fear.

Ross Ulbricht has reportedly been pardoned. 

So give us the libertarian perspective on this. Are we for pardoning all people who have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have hired people to commit murder or just the white ones from Westlake given their efforts to circumvent illegal drug laws? 

Do you agree with this pardoning?

Going beyond any value judgment on the larger policy, the idea that POTUS can simply hand wave away appropriations passed through the legislative process and already awarded to various projects around the country is obviously very bad on just a basic, functioning society level.

Welcome to the clown show boys.

Tried to convince my wife she should delete tiktok since its outright censoring opposition to trump, but that went about as well as I thought it would. 
 

Pretty crazy the hold that app has even on her demographic.

Trump’s plan for the next four years is to do everything he can to be at the top of this list. He will grift, con, and steal from his position of power to try to make this happen. He’ll probably fail, but not for a lack of trying.

 

I'm glad the Walmart family doesn't care about college football.

I am not sure that I have a fully formulated opinion, other than this was a commitment that Trump made during the campaign, was not clear would be fulfilled, and he fulfilled it today. But I am interested in unpacking it. I am not very knowledgeable about his case. Can you please elaborate on "have been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt to have hired people to commit murder". I haven't dug into this one, but my understanding is that he was not ever charged nor tried on that? Is that not accurate?

It's crossed my mind to quote every Twitter post I come across with just a gif of Muskolini giving the old "Sieg Drumpf" without any other commentary.

Because I'm not above being really petty and annoying like that.

Trump shits on Jose Andres.  One of the kindest, most decent human beings walking the earth these days.

That checks out 100%.  "Kind" and "decent" and "giving" is like the trifecta of things Trump hates the most.  Shit, Trump regrets that Mother Teresa is dead because that means he can't personally cuntpunch her.

Example number 1,285,982 that the country elected a piece of shit.

they didn't need to prove that case because he was dead to rights on the other charges. but nobody seriously doubts he made the hires.

This country's people have failed their duties and we will all suffer. You think you are rich enough to weather the storm coming, lulz, better have a B in your net worth. The robber barons were more subtle. We are living with the brainwashed masses and flat out racist idiots. Pain is the only solution. I have my popcorn ready.

Trump won’t like the photos.  No more funding of National Cathedral 

It’s not a governmental entity - it’s owned by an independent foundation with close ties to the Episcopal Diocese of D.C. and the larger denomination. And it’s probably my favorite building in the entire country. I try to go every time I’m in D.C., even on business trips, at times when I can hear the choir, or even just for a brief prayer.  The bishop said what needed to be said today, even though it’s going to make her life harder (or put her in danger) for a while. And it’s also ludicrous that what she said is considered so heinous by so-called “Christians”.

This should be the version of dueling we legalize. Having an overdeveloped honor culture can certainly become a problem, but it's pretty clear that an underdeveloped one is too.  We'd be in a much better place if a lot of the guys (and women) who deserve to have their asses kicked got their asses kicked once or twice.

Like I said, I don't really have a strong basis for an opinion on that one, but it was framed initially as "beyond a shadow of a doubt". If you want to provide some links that provide the evidence without a lot of editorializing, I would like to read them.
