It was to protect them from the crimes involved around destroying evidence they "produced" then destroyed following their kangaroo court hearings.

Personally I'm glad you're here to help make Boaz feel smarter.

This is a total abuse of power.

Fcck me. Gulf of America now for me, too.
Just hang a sign on the United States that says "Stupid."

you really are an idiot, Boaz.

But we're all really grateful to the experts like you and Danni who can "educate" us on how it works.

You made it personal.
You went out of your way to be offended.
I didn't reference you, nor did your name even enter my mind.

I have to say, #98 was about as weird and dumb a post as I have read from you in quite a while.

Interesting that you felt the need to post that.
MAGAts are militant in, and protective of, their ignorance.
It is their "safe space."
All these changes in culture?
They are all a threat.
Drag shows, Gays, Trans people, Equal rights, women in sports, rock and roll?
Terrifying.

But you?
Seems like you took that a bit personal. You upset, bro?

Oh hell, Danni. Most people have no idea what the DOE even does. If they don't know what it does, then its existence doesn't matter. To them it's just another example of "ebil gob'tmen waste, fraud, and abuse"

#15 - italics should have been on that first sentence as it was (obviously) not mine and what I was responding to (LampLighter)

My concern was the apparent whimsical assignment of the appellation of "sport" to a non-sport occurrence.

OK, I thought I'd make one post - but this gets better as I find out more.
Trump's weaponized DOJ has said "Oh, and if you don't stay in line? We can reinstate these charges."
So Trump's keeping ol' Eric in his back pocket and under control.

Blackmailed by the weaponized Trump DOJ.

My first post on this thread is this one.
It will also be the only one.
Trump is such an easy mark for anyone without morals.
Like Eric Adams.
How transparently and pathetically transactional.
"Well Eric, if you become a cult member, or at least pretend and say nice things about me, I can make those charges go away... what do you say my newest black friend?"

But was this, I'll say, a stunt, not a sporting event.

I look at this as testing new technology and ideas. Things like this cost money, lots of money, and sponsorship like Red Bull does, expands the sport. Will this turn into something? Who knows. Will something be spawned from this? I'd bet so.

If you want unbiased from me, though, it won't happen. I was an adrenaline junky for decades. I've finally mellowed. To be honest I have no idea how I am still alive.

Joe Kittinger.

Skydiving is a sport - or it can be. There are some incredible competitions in it. I used to watch the formation practice not too far from where I live. It was best from the ground, but I used to enjoy hitching a ride on the DC3 to watch from the plane. I never did anything but single jumps.

It looks like reality will catch up with them and it's going to suck. We will see, though.

Yeah - make that half time show look like America, not the players, dammit!

I thought it was excellent. One of the best half-time shows I can remember. Definitely the highlight of LIX.

This is the only thing that makes sense. You don't just renege on your commitments. You don't just stop paying your bills. Especially when you have the money. I've been waiting for this stupidity to destroy the dollar by ruining the "full faith and credit" of the United States. Without our reputation the dollar becomes worthless. We have so many morons running things and screaming to do stupid shht these days.

If you don't like an agency, then use the legislative process to phase it out. Stop being intensely stupid and self-destructive.

Some billionaires aren't used to and don't like to be told "no."

Was there any doubt Musk was a tyrant? He has a long history of being petty and spoiled. Now he has POWER because "trump."

And Trump and Vance are all in on this guy. Fcck America.

Yav, have you ever considered that maybe right now at this point in history that the Democrats are the bad guys?

MAGA is so, so, so, so much closer to Nazi than any Democrat.
MAGA is so, so, so, so much closer to Fascism than any Democrat.
They embrace both. They are unapologetic about it.

You are lost and it is sad. There is no moral ambiguity about this.

Oh I'm still here Speaks, why did the hope and change crowd attack Jews relentlessly last year?

That brush isn't just broad, it's ridiculously and cartoonishly ENORMOUS. Which makes your attempt at some deflection and blame shifting hilariously awful, ignorant, and pathetic. It's also a stupid point to try and make in the first place. Why do you even bother with such nonsense? Do you actually think you are making some point, or is it just trolling?

Such a waste of time to even bother.

So, just keep them vacant and active money pits because Trump.

Jeesuskriest. You and your false choice, either or, black or white fallacies.

You are WRONG.

Musk used hackers - at least two internationally known, as part of his DOGE crew. Ties to Russia, no less, and at least one a member of UGNazi.

They FAFO.

Wow.
This gets worse and worse.
There are now 3 "DOGE" "Muskies" that in no way shape or form would pass a security check. Hackers, Russian ties, unbelievable stuff! HOLY SHHT!
And we're being told how outstanding and professional they are - and how they're going to overhaul the FAA systems next? WHAT?

And we were lied to, or Trump's new cabinet member didn't have a clue when he said they only had "read-only" access? Nope, they have full ADMIN accounts!

WTF?
Seriously - WTF??

Was it his support for eugenic immigration policies for racial improvement or his flat out racism that cause him to resign? Maybe it was just too early in the coup?
