Actually rocket science is much simpler than running a country, it is straight up physics and math based in facts. Running a country is far more moving and ever changing parts.
The fact that the GOP hasn't figured this out is worrisome.
Remember Trump promised to repeal and replace Obamacare back in 2015. Then it was, "Who knew healthcare was so hard.". Then in 2024 it was that he had the concept of a plan, after having a decade to work on it. And that is just health care, one little facet of running a country.

The right only thrives in a misinformation environment. That's why all of their primary sources of info are garbage that, at best, use the tactic of having an inflammatory headline and opening paragraph that contains the message they want their mouth breathing readers to walk away with while the actual story is buried further down where they know their readers won't read far enough to get to. Just to give them cover, of course, legally and professionally.
You are giving them far too much credit by assuming that they read.

She meant here in the United States.
Regime change and nation building are finished in the US of A.

This is a national tragedy.
But I guess you can't control the media with free and fair reporting.
Plus too much educational value.
So, they had to go.

@#11 ... Far too woke!...
How do you know that?
How do I know that the religious type people that visit Arc Encounter would feel Disney is too woke?

You don't even need to ask, they will just tell you unprompted.

Betcha this jackass went to Disneyworld too.
Almost certainly not. Far too woke!

If he ever dies... I understand his AI Robot body is almost ready for the cognition transfer.
They are going to create an idiotic pedophilic rapebot?

I hope they all arrive wearing mockingjay pins

so they are making up numbers to suit Dementia Don's narrative. What a surprise coming in January!
Those numbers will look good from holiday sales keeping prices down and seasonal hires making labor numbers look good (look for them to push month to month numbers instead of year to year).
We won't be able to see anything real until the end of the first quarter most likely and by then we will be at war with Argentina and under a state of emergency, so it won't even matter.

Is this to get rid of Melania on the cheap for the next younger wife?

Trump is P.T. Barnum without the morals or business success.

At least our drug costs will be down 400, 500, as much as 600%.
You hear that. Because we will be a most favored nation, you will get paid for taking prescriptions at trump.rx.com

Dear Leader Lord Dampnut needs a steady supply of praise and gifts, or there'll be a tantrum! I DID NOT watch this crap. My wife and I are immersed in "Homeland" on the Netflix. We're in Season Eight of Eight Seasons. It's TV-MA, so there's smoking, drug abuse, extreme violence, cursing and foul language, and sex...lots of sex. My TDS is getting worse.

scarily parallel, but we're further behind, season 2.

Except for the payments he offered to military personnel.
That might have been the only thing he said that wasn't divisive and combative.

And that is basically raising the military budget $2.5B for the year to try and buy votes from military personnel he is about going to get killed fighting Venezuela in his illegal war for oil and rare earth mineral that he believes they somehow stole from us.

Trump will get credit when the economy trickles down the commoners. Considering we are still waiting for the Reagan trickle down after 50+ years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
Unfortunately, people will still believe in trickle down and continue to vote for tax cuts for the rich despite tax cuts never having made America Great (unless you are in the top 1% of wealth).

What if we addressed education, poverty, and mental health issues instead and actually decreased the demand for drugs and firearm violence?

Nothing screams "Land of the Free and Home of the Brave!" quite like a militarized zone on the border.

We don't have a Department of Defense or a Secretary of Defense. It is the Department of War and the Secretary of War.
Get with the times.
We will have our war, that is why we have the Department!

Doesn't issuing immunity, by definition, acknowledge that the strikes are illegal?

Just like in the US cities where Trump is pushing and pushing to get some violence to declare Martial Law he is hoping Venezuela strikes back and then he is able to use that as an excuse for actual war.

So Russia gets Europe and the Middle East, China gets the rest of Asia and Africa, and the US gets the Americas? Is that the vision?

IF only there were something like 529 plans that already save for kids futures in a tax deferred way.

Is it really that hard for young men to-------- these days?
Spending their money on some etiquette and dance classes would likely have been a far better investment on their part.

You'd think that they would get to serious work on a budget bill to avoid this same situation in two months.

Right, who am I kidding.

They should just post these alongside the 10 commandments, along with any other lists of religious commandments.
The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth
by Anton Szandor LaVey
1967

Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.
Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.
When in another's lair, show him respect or else do not go there.
If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.
Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.
Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.
Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.
Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.
Do not harm little children.
Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.
When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.
