I don’t knowingly give my money to red hats if I can possibly avoid it.  Been doing so since 2016. Pretty much culled them out of my life. 
It’s much nicer that way. 

Same. If you’re dumb enough to be a service provider or business owner and you make it a point to tell me that you’re MAGA, you’re not going to get my money.

I got my haircut today by my longtime barber. He is a Vietnamese refugee who became a citizen in the 70s.  He is a huge Trumper, a non-critical thinker, but watches his Fox and OAN and considers himself extremely politically astute.   He will never vote for the Democrats because they are “close to being communist, and he knows all about communist from his time living in Vietnam”, don’t you know….

We’ve had a truce for some time where we don’t really get into politics. Today he wanted to talk about DOGE, and why it was good to eliminate the fraud. I told him the fraud was a lie, they just wanted to get rid of anyone who could stop Trump from implementing his project 25 plans.

He then switched to how terrible it is that people don’t get along because of politics.  Because he wouldn’t drop it, I told him it is no longer politics. We are no longer fighting about trickle down economics, or fighting about Middle East policy.  We have a pathological, liar, felon, rapist, con man - supported by white supremacists - who is destroying the efficiency and fabric of American government to an extent that can’t be cured if we ever get a Democrat back in.   

He told me it was “ silly for politics to interfere with friends and family”.   At that point I’ve had enough and told him I no longer have anything to do with Republicans who voted for Trump in 2024, because they are fake Christians and false patriots who are actually traitors- and although I wish the upcoming American pain could be confined to people who voted for Trump, I am looking forward to lots of pain in rural and stupid GOP strongholds.   At this point, he was getting pissed at me, and said that I was brainwashed.    He doesn’t make much at his hair cutting, and his federal employee wife is the big breadwinner in the family.   He then told me his wife had to give five reasons why she should be retained, and she gave 15 so she would be kept.  I laughed and said she’s gonna be fired anyway, and told him to call up Trump on the line when she gets fired and explain why that was wrong.

Whelp, I was advised that I need a new barber.

I just want to see the haircut...  take some pics of the back.  Pissing off your barber mid-haircut is a bold move there Cotton.

Corpus is Puro Trump !!!

 

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — DOGE cancelled the lease on a 17,039 sq. ft. property rented by the U.S. Attorneys' Office in Corpus Christi worth $409,689 annually, according to the governmental spending watchdog's website Thursday.

The website does not list an address, but a Google search lists the U.S. Attorneys Office at 800 N. Shoreline Blvd, Ste. 500, which is One Shoreline Plaza.

- Bible verse on website or FB page

- Any ad copy stating they are a "Christian-owned business"

- The Jesus fish symbol ANYWHERE on their business materials, vehicles, etc.

 

ANY of those three, and RUN AWAY, don't walk away, from doing business with them.  Not just because they are MAGA (they almost certainly are), but because they will fuck you over in every possible way.  Overcharge, not perform, lie about what they did, etc. etc.

I have a friend who is a transactional attorney, and when she's doing due diligence and sees ANY of those features in a subcontract or somesuch, she flags that transaction/relationship for the client as a risk.  And she doesn't sugarcoat it - "I've been around long enough that I have to tell you, these things are red flags indicating someone who's going to fuck you over."

Triggered by Democrats, but when you bring up Trump and the GOP, they ask you to "stop taking politics too seriously". SOP for Trump apologists. Good for you, enough of this shit.

During the first Trump administration, I recall reading an article that there was a push to privatize the agency. Imagine the havoc that a service industry like that going private would be during extreme events. Want updates on that hurricane? Fork it over man.

Back in 2005, Rick Santorum (R-Fecal Matter) introduced a bill to prevent the Weather Service from giving away their data and information.  The prime benefactor would have been Accuweather, a Pennsylvania company.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Weather_Service_Duties_Act_of_2005#:~:text=In the wake of the,also a Santorum campaign contributor.

 

So, this isn't a new thing.  It's been just lying dormant for sometime.  It's funny; traditionally,   the Weather Service has bipartisan support and enjoys high support polling-wise.

But then again, it's a new day.   I've always thought that even Ted Cruz would support the Weather Service, given there are 10 offices in Texas alone.  Nothing would surprise me any longer.

Michael Lewis did a chapter on Trump nominating Barry Myers, CEO of Accuweather to be the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere in The Fifth Risk. Good read, if you want to freak yourself out more about Trump 2.0. The potrait he painted of Trump 1.0 was bad enough.

Thank you for the additional information. The high support is nowhere to be seen on the Aggie forum--they figure AI and models can take care of it and/or the numbers are not a high enough percentage to matter.

When I was little I used to watch my older brother play this really old and beat up arcade game at a pizza place our family dined at for a treat. He didn't get to play games like that very often so can't imagine he was all that skilled.  I can't remember what it was called but it seemed like it ended with missiles raining down until the screen was practically white. We're only at the end of February and I'm bug-eyed like I was watching him try desperately to play that game.

I'm not sold on ai for weather given some of the other product I've seen out there. I mean, a person living in OKC just minutes away from the Severe Storms Lab in Norman (eventually shut down due to cuts) and a Category 5 is barreling down I-35 towards the subdivision and ai goes with:

"Hell is empty and all the devils are here!"

Now that might be appropriate to have a quote from Shakespeare's The Tempest since it is Oklahoma and all, but LuAnne and Walter in their 2100 sq ft tract home are going to be screwed.
