If you had a lick of sense, you'd be pissed too.

The truth is businesses tend to treat their workers as exploitable property, and theirs to discard whenever their business model changes. I believe a refresher on the affect the French Revolution had on autocratic oligarchs across Europe a short two centuries ago might be something Trump, Musk and the suits on Wall Street should consider pursuing.

Trump? Drive? Someone in the WH press pool should inquire why he has (presumably) never learned to drive. Double-dog-dare him to do a couple laps around the Capital Building in one of Musk's toys when he declines to answer or proffers the whopper that he's the greatest driver of all time. No one has ever driven better that Donald Trump. Who am I fooling? If he does carry a "valid' drver's license in his wallet, it's about as real as his Man O'the Year Time Magazine cover he continues to display and crow about.

As long as ICE keeps their mouth-breathing mitts off of Tate McRae, she can stay as long as she wants. Her video of Revolving Door gave me a honest-to-god chubby the first time I stumbled across it online. Oh! Canada...See, at my age, that doesn't happen all that much these days.

Womp womp. Wha? Too soon?

Mr. Dead...I believe this country went sideways the moment they drove the Golden Spike back in 1869. Our whole economic system became as stratificational as the post-fuedal examples in Europe and England the Pilgrims attempted to escape from a good century before. Once the telegraph followed the tracks to SF, the party became Members Only, coast-to-coast.

On the upside, Jack is paint thinner. and I wish nothing but good health to our Northern neighbors.

Affiliated? She co-produced the WWF/WWE extravaganzas with her husband for years, occasionally even playing heels during televised matches. The more you know.

Re: #3...There a old tie-dyed hippie that still hangs around in the '60s cave in my memory hole that constantly reminds me that karma is real, no matter whether one believes in it or not. TrumpCo is obviously attempting to insist the goose lay a egg so big it most assuredly will die trying to lay it. Allegory, bitches!

What? Crickets? You soulless clowns might consider impotently flogging the dead Fraud & Waste Horse again, but that pantomime nag couldn't/wouldn't trot in the first place, but sure...keep whacking the poor critter. All allegorical vitriol aside, having a long-expired secondary credential, I'm quite stumped as to their justification for purposely insisting that American children--especially those from the working class --remain...unsophisticated, shall we say? I had hoped at least one of you could provide at one salient point, but alas...cridckets.

Perhaps one of you dim bulb Trumpers can elucidate us on the wisdom/neccessity of eliminating the DOE. McMahon's qualifications to hold the position in the first place are more than a little suspect. If this were a TrumpCo-produced television show, I'd have changed the channel long before the end of the title card and intro music. Then again, his supporters have always struck me as the kind of thick-bricks who actually believe Pro Wrestling is real, and that all that book learnin' stuff is just liberal indoctrination.

In my somewhat checkered employment history, I once worked in tech re-purposing naughty videos around the time when they first became viewable on cell phones. Terrific salary, but I also was required to document and e-mail on Friday afternoon before leaving the building bullet-points of damn near every %#?! keystroke I made that week. Musk's demand on federal workers only served to remind me why I willingly walked away from a well-paying job and never worked a tech position again.

I tortured myself last night by watching his 2-hour recitation of previously debunked grievances and tortuously-framed whoppers. Fortunately, I stocked up on Wonder Gummies beforehand.

Pardon my predictable virtue signalling, but were I a Member of the House, I would have walked out with Congressman Greene last night. I'm a little stumped this morning...did Trump say anything last night that was true or have any basis of fact? Talk about flooding the zone...Whew!

It seems I've commited the unforgivable crime of becoming old in a society that no longer cares about maintaining the safety net created for the elderly almost a century ago. Cessation of my monthly SS disbursement would be way more than a inconvenience for me, as well as untold millions of other recipients, many of whom believed TrumpCo's pie-in-the-sky horse manure enough to vote for him. "A keyboard macro could replace whole floors of workers." Soulless.

Should TrumpCo thoughtlessly end SS, it would mean systemic starvation and eventual homelessness of untold elderly Americans, myself included. You Trump fanatics should realize what that incomprehensible scenario would mean to the vast majority of the old school republican voter base should TrumpCo go forward with the dismantlement of this social safety net.

It would appear Trump is determined to show how much he believes he's above the law--any law, regardless of it's provenance. Is this what you double-digit IQ true believers voted for? I advise you run a system check on what remains of your ethics before answering.

The Shrimp doth attempt to hijack the discussion, me'thinks. The faithful are beginning to realize they got royally fleeced for their support, and will perhaps eventually begin to give pause the next time they put on that #%?! stupid red hat.

And just like that, "they" flood the zone with misdirection and transparently thin whataboutisms. Yesterday amply demonstrated just how compromised this "administration" is. You Trump -------- are going to require considerable chiropractic therapy attempting to spin the narrative out of the ethical black hole TrumpCo has dug for you. So gather your snarkiest memes, convolute your MAGA fantasia until the message is so tight it squeaks...but forewarned...yesterday's shameful ambush in the WH exposed the 2025 goose-stepping agenda to the light of day for untold # of Trump supporters who now realize just how naked their emperor is.

Pay to Play. I remember Gazzarris' on the Strip. One long, tedious parade of painfully under-rehearsed garage bands, all deluding themselves that paying to play there night after night would surely land them the Holy Grail of a fabled big label record deal. Trump is simply selling time-share citizenship to "rich" foreigners, who should really review the fine print on any documentation they sign.

"Most of America watches Fox News." Hmm...citation required.

I've got $20 that says his eventual demise from the position will be spectacular and a complete PR disaster for TrumpCo. Bongino strikes me as the kind of loose gear candidate that usually washes out during the oral exam. He's Trump's version of a DEI hire, given his long history of proliferating loony conspiracy yarns. I have no doubt at some point he's going to step on his dick, wildly over-step his authority, and TrumpCo will have no choice but to publicly remove him per the outcry.

Ah...as I suspected, old age and a over-crowded memory hole. Thanks for the correction, Mr. Redial.

re: #21...A de rigueur tendency these days among those who too willingly give unquestioned/unearned fealty to a con man who would sell them for body parts if he could personally profit from it. "Sad" doesn't even scratch the surface.

Ah, not to quibble, but what are the actual hours logged on the air frames of the current iterations? Perhaps its just my old age creeping up on me, but didn't King Trump take possession of a new AF1 during his last administration? And how many thoughtlessly fired federal workers will it take to pay for these arguably unnecessary new replacements?
