My two gen-z kids love MASH so they're bummed out.

Watching MASH in the 80s was a family thing growing up. There was a few other shows, but MASH was a big one.

I am glad Margaret developed beyond "Hot Lips" in the show. She deserved a strong character.

Meteorological research continues and will continue all over the world. It just won't be us (US) leading the state of the art, thanks to Trump.

Forecasting is a means for science, not an end.

Besides, reducing uncertainty and improving prediction times in hurricane models is a good thing. More time to prepare will become increasingly important now that our federal government isn't going to help with any recovery and storms are increasing in frequency, magnitude, and spatial scale.

AI is great at forecasting, but not so great at providing insight into how things (like weather) physically operate.

From a scientist perspective, less time spent on forecasting is more time spent on research.

And people have been losing their jobs to tech at least since we invented the wheel, possibly before. I don't think we should limit tech just so people can keep working obsolete jobs, and there is plenty of science left to do.

#5 No, this dispute implicates the political whims of Congress to create agencies and departments independent of the power of the Executive.

Fixed

Not familiar with veto power, huh? That's not surprising.

To be honest, surplus production of soy/corn the way we do it is terrible for the environment.

For example, if every soy/corn farmer in the Mississippi basin went belly up, marine life in the Gulf of Mexico around the Mississippi Delta would rebound substantially.

Sure, it was more likely than not that Trump wasn't going to follow through with much of what he said before the election.

And if you point out to rural Trump voters that Trump told us exactly what he was going to do, you'll often hear, "well I didn't think he was actually going to do it!". Maybe not as often as, "well I didn't think it was going to affect me."

The former statement honestly isn't a terrible assumption.

The latter would be a terrible position. Either way, they bet the farm on it.

Federal workers are tasked with working on missions designed by acts of Congress.

It took Acts of Congress to create these positions, and it will take an Acts of Congress to terminate them.

The Executive, nor Squeelon Musk, are capable of Acts of Congress.

But you know who is? The current Republican led Congress.

Liberal activist judges? Perhaps. But MasterScourgeTard and his fellow Trumper lunatics simply don't understand how the Constitution dictates our form of government.

If they did, they would have demanded Congress do their jobs instead of blaming the Judicial and supporting illegal administrative actions. They do not support the Constitution and how it operates.

The funny thing to me is that Grok appears to have far more self-awareness than Squeelon will ever have.

Rural folks voted for this.

I think Josh Hawley is fixin to run for POTUS.

Given that Trump is a master of trafficking people, he's definitely the man for the job.

We can either have private weather forecasters, where your access to lifesaving weather alerts depend on your ability to pay a subscription,

or a patchwork of state forecasters trying to cover weather events that can easily span across a dozen states at the same time.

Neither sounds like it will make America great again to me.

To 86 someone is to kick them out of an establishment, usually a bar.

Bars often have an "86 list", or a list of people who aren't allowed in the bar.

The restaurant reference is a derivative of that.

Look it up.

Rtards must be the most scared and overly sensitive people in history. Look, when they say to be like Jesus, they don't mean to be a perpetual victim. FFS.

We put a guy in office who is notorious for not paying his bills. The fiscal year ends in a little over three months and we don't have a budget thanks entirely to Republican leadership.

So, duh.

But this was entirely avoidable. Republicans just needed to function. To do their jobs. But they can't, because they're rtards.

Republicans will blame Biden and the Dems because they pathologically fail to take responsibility.

Just take a look at TurdWringer.

Only cool people truly know what 86'd means. Some may have been 86'd themselves (oops!).

Much to do about nothing. But it's fun to watch the rtards pee their pants over it.

Speaking of tornadoes, KY is getting hammered pretty good right now.

If we're not going build resilience or implement mitigation strategies to deal with costly natural disasters, why continue to spend taxpayer money on bailing places out after they get obliterated?

Makes sense a turd wouldn't notice swimming amongst turds.

Because he knows deplorable Trumping MAGAts will defend his corruption.

And blame the dems.

what have democrats done?.

Who cares?

The Dems lost.

Dems are like the poor puppy waking up after getting neutered, the drugs are wearing off, and they're figuring out their balls are gone. All they can do is lick their empty sack and look sad as all hell (heck).

And here you are, still whining about the Dems. Is it the increasing dementia or did you actually get through life this way?

My, my, how the turns table!

Cry me a freekin river.

This is only happening because Reichsleiter Musk whined to Trump about it. And because they're white.

Send 'em to England don't send 'em here. We're already full of racist turds.

Kash wants the prestige and the authority, he just can't do the work.

iow, he's unqualified!

Whoda thunk?

Cool, we can add even more tax expense to this unimportant ego flex.

Trust is a lot like respect in that a higher level of trust is earned, and so is distrust. I afford everyone a certain level of trust and respect until they demonstrate it is my better interests to do otherwise.

That's how I try to treat people. But I'll admit, I can overdo the disrespect/distrust at times, particularly over politics. I try to remind myself that.

But then I can't help but remind myself about potential for suspension of Habeas Corpus, screwing over veterans, old people, et al. for tax cuts, and dissolving our traditions and our place as a world leader in democracy, science, and global health, and I think, nah, eff-em.

Kash Patel: We pay our budget in Kash(TM). Now check out my sweet neck-scarf that says "FBI BOSS" in gold lettering! (posts a selfie about pwning the deep state libs)

Some dumb republican Senator: Can I take a selfie with you Kash? Lookin good!

Kash: Yeah.

Dumb Senator: Really!?!

Kash: No, I meant yeah I look good.

Dumb Senator: Oh, (sulks and buys more Trump coin).
