I'm concerned.

Looks like class is still in session for the Palestinian's FAFO educational process.

Try me, MAGAT.

Assuming you're referring to me, I'm not a MAGAt. In fact, I've voted for the Dem against Trump at every opportunity, and probably more than many of the self-declared libs here who are now crying their delicious tears at the natural results flowing from their actions.

But please consider me suitably impressed by your Internet Tough Guy (tm) routine.

#11 Must they come standstill? No, but it helps. The IRS will sometimes freeze bank accounts during an audit. I can remember back in the day shutting down the warehouses/shipping at year end to perform inventory audits.

Now do a balance of costs/benefits of a temporary shut down of a single company or warehouse (in the case of a planned audit) versus suddenly and indefinitely shutting down hundreds of billions of dollars in appropriated Federal spending across the entire nation. And don't consider whether a president lacks the constitutional authority for inserting such chaos into the functioning of our nation.

The supercomputer, called "El Capitan,"

Mexican-sounding. Maybe rename it to Trumpenstein ... Hmmm, no ... too Jewish.

"The Reich Stuff"?

Arguing against auditing to find waste, fraud and abuse is no way to go through life son.

Imagine being so willfully ignorant as to claim that entities, whether they be private or governmental, must come to a standstill during an "audit."

The environmental damage has been catastrophic from the toxic residue of detonated munitions, decaying bodies under rubble, and untreated sewage #8 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS

Sounds like the area should be declared a superfund cleanup site. With the residents removed from the land for their safety. After it's spiffied up it can be given to Israel as partial reparations for October 7th.

I'm sure the hippie libs drum circle chanting "Free Vegan Palestine" would fare well in armed conflict.

Musk is trying to sabotage OpenAI's transition into a for-profit entity.

You can go [ehff] yourself.

And then I can vote for Jill Stein 2028?

That is why they created a system of checks and balances on government power.

Not this time.

No checks or balances from the legislative branch. Which leaves only the judiciary, which Trump will ignore if his SCOTUS puts up any token resistance. That means that the legislative will have to impeach and remove him from office, which we all know it will not do.

Trump's got free reign for the next four years. And perhaps Vance for the eight that follow.

Hope those Jill Stein/Ralph Nader voters are enjoying the show. They're gonna pay the bill.

"Whomp! Whomp!" to the Muslim Trump/Jill Stein voters.

Meaningless order, since Trump will ignore it and the GOP Congress will let him. And the voters don't care.

So we should vote Jill Stein 2028?

#4 But you don't have an issue with the US providing other countries under our 40 Billion a year foreign aid budget with $ in exchange for protection. What's the difference?

I'm not entirely sure I follow your question but I don't think this situation is the same. In particular, this one is being sought under duress, granted not of our making.

Anywho, this is the best that can be accomplished under this president, so I'm glad that Ukraine has the resources to buy our protection.

It's unfortunate that this will be twisted by our enemies into a "The US is trying to steal Russian resources!" talking point to try to make us appear as bad as the bald thieving Moscow Midget. And that it will probably plant the seed of discord amongst Ukraine's other supporting nations as Russia orders useful idiots to create outcry that their countries aren't also getting a piece of the Ukrainian pie.

Hopefully Ukraine's allies understand that this is the only way to motivate Trump to defend Ukraine, and that most Americans are not as venal and transactional as that pile of orange excrement.

China's Tit-for-tat Tariffs on US Take Effect

hehehe tiht ...

So getting something in return for all the money we are giving Ukraine is a bad thing? Zelinsky said it was fair as well. If you disagree with this it is because of severe TDS,

Yes, Zelenskiyy says it's fair, because Zelenskiyy is not an idiot. Because saying anything else would mean that Ukraine wouldn't get a dime of our money while Hair Furor has a say.

Shaking down a democracy while it's fighting for its very existence against Russian fascism strikes me as wrong. But I guess that means I wouldn't be a very good MAGAt. Apparently, our only concern under Trump is whether our actions will turn us a profit, because that's the way Trump's mercenary mind works.

Cop saw some White people who looked loaded so he decided to go fishing for a handout. India is notoriously corrupt and bribes for government workers are an expected part of their compensation package.

Similar to the Melania Meme Coin. Early on, it peaked around $13, but is now worth around $1.50.

Oddly enough, I hear that was the going price for the real thing a couple decades ago.
