How 'bout...

@#33 ... Correctly predicted when Mar-a-lago was raided it would spectacularly backfire on the left, ...

Did it?

... correctly predicted Biden would drop out, ...

Yeah, that was an easy one. The difficult part was when, though.

... correctly predicted SCOTUS would rule in favor of Trump on immunity, ...

Really? I do not remember your opinion at the time agreeing with how SCOTUS ruled.

... correctly predicted Trump would win,

Once October hit, that seemed to be obvious from the polling results.

And there is one other prediction your current alias also said, but now seems to be quite wrong.

It said that it was going to stop posting here.

So, the warped reality of an imaginary victory lap seems to override a former promise?

Stated differently, the revisionist history your current alias seems to promote seems to be, well, revisionist.

But do take the center stage and bow for the folk.

@#14 ... I wonder what happened to the "get better health insurance for less money" that Trump touted? ...

You mean these comments? ...

Candidate Trump on healthcare:

May 21, 2015
I'm not going to cut Medicare or Medicaid.

Sept 25, 2015
Everybody's got to be covered.

Feb 17, 2016
We're going to have great plans. They're going to be much less expensive and they're going to be much better.

Oct 25, 2016
You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost, and it is going to be so easy.

Nov 13, 2016
It will be better healthcare, much better for less money. Not a bad combination.

@#13 ... Not big and beautiful for the patient, mind you. Big and beautiful for the insurance company's stockholders. ...

Such a succinct summary.

I have nothing to add, aside from quoting it.

@#25 ... I Won't. The neocons have returned to the Democrat party. ...

Vote as you want. But do vote.

That aspect aside, I do notice that your current alias seems to be either unable or reluctant to provide further comment upon the assertions it has posted.

Is my observation incorrect?

Or maybe these tunes may be more appropriate?

... and, fwiw, I have heard that song only on college radio stations.

Gee, after listening to the lyrics, I have to wonder ... why?

:)

Lyrics excerpt ...

More from the article...

... Entering an increasingly competitive job market, some Gen Zers are responding to unusual situations in atypical ways. Dealing with endless rounds of interviews, slow-to-respond employers, and an overall frustrating hiring process, a fraction of the cohort have taken to ghosting their employers back.

About a third (34%) of Gen Zers are opting to do what's known as "career catfishing."

This means a successful candidate accepted a job and then never showed up, according to a survey of 1,000 U.K. employees conducted by CV Genius.

The results found career catfishing is one of many strategies employees are using to gain more autonomy at work, including coffee badging and quiet vacationing.

However, Gen Z applicants aren't alone in going no- and low-contact during the recruiting process. Some 74% of employers now admit that ghosting is a facet of the hiring landscape, according to a 2023 Indeed survey of thousands of job seekers and employers. ...

@#13 ... Now they have to double time it to teach those who voted for Biden that resistance is futile. ...

Yup.

@#5 ... THIS IS ALREADY HAPPENING. ...

... and the Republicans seem to be falling in line in favor of it.

Maybe wanting for their chance to kiss the most ample derriere of Pres Trump?

Pres Trump to his supporters (a.k.a., toadies) ...

@#6

Yeah, the silence seems to be deafening.

@#10 ... Trump keeps his promises. ...

Actually he doesn't.

He promised to end the Russia's unprovoked invasion of a sovereign Ukraine on day 1.

Did he?

@#3 ... What power does the OMB have within the Federal government? ...

Hint: it is very significant. Very Significant.

Pres Trump's nominee to lead the OMB could be one of his most important nominees. OK, maybe an exaggeration, but not too much of an exaggeration.

So, why did he nominate the apparent lead of Project 2025 for this slot?

Pres Trump wants only certain health information to be presented to Americans.

The World Health Organization is evil in his mind because it does not adulate him.

The CDC will present The Truth as Pres Trump sees the truth of helath policies.

@#30 ... The 2016 election set the course for SCOTUS for a generation. ...

Maybe longer than a generation, depending upon how Pres Trump's autocracy fares.

@#74 ... No. I provided the context and gave instructions on how to get to the language I was discussing. ...

Thanks for that reply.

To be honest, I intentionally misinterpreted your comment to try to get you to post another comment.

Stated differently, your knowledgeable opinions are something I look forward to reading, even though I may disagree with them from time to time.

I offer my apology for that deception, and I will also say that I will not do that again if you continue to proffer your opinions here on a more regular basis.

@#12 ... Is rebuilding at the cost of hundreds of billions of dollars per year a reasonable solution? Eff no! ...

In some respects, I agree. But, "hundreds of billions?" Got a link?[1]

Look at the bail-outs of those who live on the Atlantic coasts, on sandbars, and have to turn to FEMA year after year to rebuild their house.

I have said that FEMA should bail out a property once, and only one.

After that one time, it is the onus of that property owner to deal with what they bought in to.

Now, let's look at California.

So far, this catastrophe seems to be a one-time event. This is the first time such devastation has occurred.

So, help them rebuild, but if it happens again, well, they are on their own.

@#72 ... See this Congressional Research Service article ...

Whoa.

An interesting read.

thx.

@#69 ... See Plyler v. Doe ...

OK. (and, btw, thx for the link)

...
Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202 (1982)

Primary Holding

A state cannot prevent children of undocumented immigrants from attending public school unless a substantial state interest is involved.
...

OK, this case seems to show that a state cannot override a Federal law regarding immigrants.

Did I read that correctly?

At this point, I am beginning to think that Pres Trump has realized the futility of his tariff campaign promises, and that he cannot keep those campaign promises.

Can you say, ~tail between his legs?~

I knew you could.

@#128 ... Get rid of USDA. Problem solved. Promises kept. ...

That seems to be the approach.

Put a person in charge of the health of the Country who has no medical education.

Then pull out of the World Health Organization.

Make Pres Trump the sole source of health information for the Country.

Yeah, that is success-oriented.
