There was a bill to fund school meals for little kids fully - all kids. The super majority of asshats whined and cried about how it shouldn't be the government's responsibility to feed these kids when their parents should be doing that. They then, without a hint of irony, voted to give themselves an increase in their own per diem meal reimbursements because grown adults with government jobs need the government to feed them and can't brownbag it. 5 Quote

Dark_Cloud_Overhead Posted January 29 Posted January 29 He's like a gremlin in a control room pushing all the buttons he can find right now, trying to figure out which are the ones that will make stuff go boom. I'm sure he's aware a number of these actions are gonna be short circuited by the courts, but I don't think he cares. He's just looking to push the boundaries of what people and the system will let him get away with. Even when he's stymied, it just desensitizes people and gets them used to or prepared for the idea of whatever norm he's trying to break being broken, until folks just stop caring and merely shrug when he finally destroys all the things the country used to stand for. Bunch of morons. Easy as it would be to put all this on him, gotta remember none of it would be possible without all the enablers who are too gutless to stand up to any of this nonstop torrent of insanity, which you just know if Biden or any other Democratic party president had done the same they'd all be screaming bloody damn murder about it while frantically pulling out and pointing to their little pocket Constitutions. Funny now, instead all we hear is just crickets. 5 Quote
André Toulon Posted January 29 Posted January 29 (edited) Trump guts businesses and runs with the money. This is just the big heist. I'm not gonna get on a soapbox about it but I think it's best of I just tuned out for the next four years because it's just going to be a lot of me going. Edited January 29 by André Toulon 3 2 Quote

It’s more respectable on a dinner table, but I see where he’s coming from. Today is the one I’ve REALLY been dreading. RFK JR’s hearing. The children he killed in Guam with his anti-vaccine crusade should be reason enough to disqualify him, but he’s got a lot of sycophants ready to kill us all. This might be another reason some people I know are heading to England for career stuff. 1 Quote

In a sane world, Caroline Kennedy's statement that she put out yesterday would be a death knell for him, but he's just gaslighting congress about all his anti-vaccine statements so far. Pretty clear he's just gonna pretend none of it ever happened or he was somehow misinterpreted over and over and over again. Sadly, that's probably all he really needs to do... is just give them enough of narrative so they can hide behind it while they hold their noses and vote him through, same as Hegseth.

The term is most strongly associated with the several hundred camps established by the Nazis in Germany and occupied Europe in 1933–45, among the most infamous being Dachau, Belsen, and Auschwitz. And I actually read some of Prpject 2025 today. They want to bring back capital punishment in every state and have it used in a swift fashion. These people are pure evil.

André Toulon Posted January 31 Posted January 31 It's so funny people still want accountability from Trump. At some point it's not even his fault.
