Do you smell ginger? Probably only if you have red hair.

Another artifact from mining using slaves.

Stress is the number one cause of early signs of aging, imo.

Diet and metabolic conditioning matter, but when cursors are activated from stress nothing else matters.

Practice creativity, patience and observation.

The internal hemorrhaging leads to death within 48 hours.

Is this the release of another gain of function aided virus?

How do you know it's RCADE?? I mean seriously.

My and the other conservatives being here gets RCADE advertising revenue. Without us, this site would die.
Since the election of 2016, you progressives need an outlet. You people want to curse someone out. You want to feel better than someone else. RCADE is providing that.

There are credibly researched contributions, not just the feels and confusion over pronoun abuse.

It's good to expect better from everyone, even a serious, trad wife such as yourself.

Musk operates as a foreign agent. He's not even a DOGE employee, yet you make his sammich and fluff that stuff.

He is single-handedly firing all federal employees while Trump is creating a private military.

No alarms yet?

Impressive, Lamplighter.

Correlative cognition using abstracts requires matching fact and fiction.

Sooner than later prosthetic technology will finally raise somewhat to our artisanship.

AI too, should we survive it's abuse.

"#7 Socialism. And btw, how did Bernie get so rich on a senator's salary?"
Technically, no. Socialism is a system where the workers own the means of production. Bernie, in some strange way, seems to expect that wealth creators will keep creating the wealth that he wants to take from them. Maybe? I can't say they won't. But it is irrational to think that the government would want to impose high taxes on individuals and not expect it to modify their behavior or decision calculus.
It's capitalism. Just capitalism where the government gets to control what happens with the profits.

"Workers" get nothing without the capacity to capitalize?

So, winners and losers as you intimate?

"Profits".. you mean "income"? Taxation on "wealth creators" is expecting what behavior? Moving offshore? Hiding wealth? A slave workforce?

Do you believe in any government or should oligarchy "control what happens with the profits"?

Bernie is only interested in defeating Trumpism so it can be replaced with Berneeism.
But, if USans want Berneeism, they'll get their chance is just under four years from now.
I'd still take Trumpism.

What are the specific "Berneeism" policies that you find abhorrent?

Universal Healthcare? School lunches? Workers unions?

#1 he has the same unelected authority as Fauci.

Agreed, the distinction being response to a pandemic versus creating government voids to privatize.

The billionaires won the last election and telehealth was a form of "working from home" that cut into real estate profits but also cut into insurance company profits. And those real estate and insurance companies don't like it when you cut into their profits.
By making it more cumbersome to see a doctor, some people will forgo it so the insurance companies win.
And if too many people got their healthcare via the phone, doctors and therapists might downsize their office space. So now landlords win. Especially the mega landlords.
But 77 million of our neighbors voted for this. Sad how easy it is to con the American public.

Agreed.

Citizens United has effectively redistributed priorities through bribes and propaganda away from universal healthcare.

There will be no legal remedies.

There will be no federally funded services.

There will be no public access or options.

There will be chaos.

THEN the public system will be collapsed, incapable of legal or monetary reliance from this administration.

Change "working from home" to "working from bridge".

Constitution? That old document died when an insurrectionist was allowed to run for president.
Our new constitution is simply: what are you gonna do about it?

This does follow as their next step.

Unfortunately we won't find out about the pandemic until several hundred thousand are dead.

Biden was aware of the pandemic yet allowed air traffic for holidays, ushering in the overwhelming of hospitals and limitation on preventative equipment and knowledge.

Turning the federal government into a "right to work state" that can fire employees at will.

Welcome to the blur, federal employees.

Citizens United built this.

"The easier to ransack your agencies my dear.."

This is an just abhorrent and stupid way to respond to the factually dedicated heroes who risk their lives daily.

Bass is a POS.

"If your relative received this message, they should reply. My guess is what they are looking for is for people that are actually proud of what they do, and have done this week."
And what about people who have been on sick leave or annual leave, or will be tomorrow and are unable to respond?
Of course, it will be easy to comply with this initially by listing 5 job functions or 5 examples of implementing particular job functions, but it sounds like this could be a weekly thing. The concern that many people have is that if the response is not worded just right, then it could be used to by DOGE to terminate employees regardless of how well they do their jobs.

Isn't it interesting to see who "snaps to" and brightly responds with complete humility and sincerity.. and the rest who respond like humans.

Musk isn't an officer of DOGE or any government office and I believe that is how he envisions his legal protection - not responsible under all circumstances.

Does this leave his wunderkinder werk force to experience those consequences?

Imo, controlling USPS is a billionaire against billionaire battle for privatization and access that is another hierarchical positioning.

In an administration of actors, why shouldn't the data theft dress in the guise of "savings"?

It's not "promises kept", it's "winnings kept". The blatant switch.

I think its just a troll by the current administration, but the employees being told not to respond may be reaction this administration was looking for.
#15 | Posted by lfthndthrds at 2025-02-23 11:25 AM

To see what the extent of damage fear tactics can generate. Fractures with how officers are recognized, appointed and that hierarchy is being challenged while thousand are being fired immediately, imo.

IMO this is horrible management on Musk's part, I have been critical of him in the past and believe perhaps he's suffering from long term ketamine use.
Listen/watch Musk from 10 years ago, and one today. He has alot of money, but he's gotten dumber.
"She received a message from her supervisor and the union not to respond to it, for now."
If your relative received this message, they should reply. My guess is what they are looking for is for people that are actually proud of what they do, and have done this week.
It is just a test, the answer doesn't matter. People like DialAgain, and Gaslighter probably have never worked in a real office where ---- gets done, asking who is going to read it, no one, no one is going to read it, because thats not the point.
"I think its just a troll by the current administration,"
idk your definition of troll, but there is a purpose to email. To weed out all the people that didn't do ----, ergo wont respond. The purpose of Management, and Unions telling people not to respond is to protect those that don't do ----.
Is this a good management tactic, no, is it what is happening, most assuredly.
#18 | Posted by oneironaut at 2025-02-23 12:25 PM

Musk is not even the administrator. What is the management flowchart for DOGE?

Trump doesn't fit the biblical description of the Antichrist.
Revelation 13:8 says the Antichrist will be worshiped by "all who dwell on the earth". Trump isn't universally adored and instead faces widespread opposition.
He simply isn't popular enough to match the Bible's portrayal of the Anti-Christ regardless what else might be said.
Near-total global appeal is a critical characteristic of the Antichrist and that's something Trump does not and will never have.
#3 | Posted by BillJohnson at 2025-02-22 06:16 PM

Musk and Trump both pretend that is the case.

Since this is interpretation, perhaps "worship" could really mean "depend upon" or "controlled by".

Or, "threatened by", imo.

You can't spell 'revolt' without 'love'.

Darn, right before the Pentagon is about to be audited!

What bad fortune for us.

This man who would tweet "king" is a conspicuously charismatic spokesperson for a long-term anti-Constitutional project.

Even once removed DOGE has our personal data - we are all as of now hijacked "persons" who's data will be used against our interests.

All safeguards have "failed".

Perfectly.

Very similarly to 9/11, imo.
