"They just aren't advertising it. It's too scary for virgin ears."

It's not the truth that's scary. It's the co-conspirators who publicly decry the very system they tacitly support.

And why?

So they can borrow EVEN MORE money than they're slashing, to give ~85% of it to the world's wealthiest 1%, including OVER 60% of the cost of the tax bill TO THE WORLD'S WEALTHIEST ONE-TENTH OF ONE PERCENT.

They want to beggar the rest of us, so Elon and Peter and Mark can keep their disastrous tax cuts.

My fave was The Conversation. Beautiful, controlled work. I also like I Never Sang For My Father, based on the stage play.

If you're a Hackman fan, I'd recommend both.

"VA Secretary Doug Collins described the dismissals as "extraordinarily difficult" but said the savings in salaries and benefits -- an estimated $83 million a year -- would go toward serving veterans, families and survivors"

No it won't. The workforce is being slashed SO ELON CAN HAVE HIS TAX CUTS.

"I'm on the side that wants the spending reduced in order to bring some resemblance of integrity back."

What a riot. Your "side" requires two GIANT lies for membership, regarding J6 and the 2020 election. Some integrity.

But if you actually feel that way, then you've got to be foursquare against the firing of 94% of USAID workers, which had NOTHING to do with integrity, and everything to do with vengeance..

Musk lied and said USAID was paying out exorbitant fees for stars to be photographed with Zelensky. USAID called him out for lying.

Would you like your integrity back?

"perfectly ok because of who those people are."

Except he was referring to unidentified government hires slashing everywhere while being accountable to no one. Not spies.

Intellectually dishonest of you, wouldn't you say?

"bearded belly dancers"

There's always a tell.

"Crockett's reaction immediately drew blowback from conservatives on social media"

No doubt to underscore her right to free speech..amirite.

Flip the letter after the name, and the (D) would've already been impeached.

"this man has done more foe this country"

Well, yeah, if you consider spreading disinformation "doing something".

The question is, was the deed good, or bad? This guy has had no problem spreading obvious lies.

Good, or bad?

" In 2007 the USA elected a community organizer"

It's always a scream when hack posters pretend "US Senator" isn't a listable achievement.

"Musk's Empire Built on $38 Billion in Government Funding"

I'll take Places Elon will NEVER find Waste, Fraud, or Abuse for $2,000, Mr. Jennings.

"And the corrupt local chamber of commerce...LOL"

Awwww, isn't that cute?

Eberly pretends the CoC members aren't the sheriff's largest re-election campaign donors.

Easier to stick your head in the ground rather than admit the truth you know, I guess.

"Seems to be the overall goal."

Yep.

Squeeze the very last dollar out of the US...and leave them with nothing but a mountain of bills, and a larger mountain of unfavorable contracts.

Always keep the George Will rule in mind: If Trump were sent to destroy America...

...what would he be doing differently?

"We all question why the US is counted on to the world's policeman."

Let me answer: commerce.

Same reason the robber barons hired the Pinkertons.

The US military greases the machinery of world trade.

Kash, during his confirmation hearing: I'll DEFINITELY nominate a longtime FBI agent for #2.

Kash, after his confirmation hearing: Only fools and idiots would be dumb enough to believe me!

" OK, but that strikes me as a pretty important question," said U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper, who was appointed by former President Barack Obama, in Washington, D.C."

The answer is obvious: fire Judge Cooper!

Important questions are not allowed to be asked in Oceania.

"How to lose a primary by 45 points."

She had the audacity to tell the truth about Trump.

And now, mere admission to the Republican Party requires the declaration of two major lies.

"And that nazi Stephen Miller"

The bastard love child of Joseph Goebbles and Roy Cohn.

And of course, had Obama done this...

...Hannity would've excused it immediately, amirite?

Aw, who am I kidding? Whatever the over/under is on "Number of States you'd find pieces of Sean's exploded brain"...

...I'll take the over.

Macro Math:

They're looking for $1 Trillion in cuts, to justify $5.25 Trillion* of additional borrowing, so they can giveaway roughly $3.6 Trillion to the world's wealthiest one-tenth of one percent.

*$4.5 Trillion, plus interest.

Well, the answer is clear:

Fire the Box Office staff!!!

"All this "cost cutting" is expensive!"

And notably, the Musketeers have left out the upcoming spike in unemployment in their calculations.

Republican Math redux.

"people hold up FDR and what he did for the world as GREATNESS, yet he put people through tough times."

Not on purpose.

You don't see a difference?!?
