I don't think either Trump or Musk are true believing Nazi's. They are more likely narcissistic assholes who would do just about anything for attention and power.They are both total control freaks. Personally I think that may be worse.

The House Speaker's Christian ethics strikes again.

Nobody, he'll just become another MAGA drag on society. Not accomplishing anything and living on Trumpfare. His Proud Boy or whomever buddies will welcome him home.

Only the best people. Oops! That was last time around. Deplorable Chris Geidner ‪@chrisgeidner.bsky.social‬ Follow BREAKING, via The Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

At least there is one real Republican with cojones I needed to post on Xer because I have not seen it on the other place

3. It has been an extraordinarily effective program. Prior to 11246 there were very few women or minorities working for government contractors. Now, that is not the case.What will the impact of repeal be?We may never know since we'll stop collecting data. popular.info Trump undercuts enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

When Trump walked into the National Cathedral, he probably thought it was just another photo op—Bishop Budde made sure it was a reality check. https://www.threads.net/@goodgodabove/post/DFJzv29sUP9?xmt=AQGzqVQL7qU7V0NzRJAGcXizUbxWTR3qw6l2WZ2_B52-EQ

It's going to be interesting for us. We're retired, I think we have enough to stay afloat but my wife is still working part time with a consulting business. Most of it is related to some Public TV initiatives. Things like the National Governor's Association's "Argue Better" initiative which promotes bipartisanship (which seems to be a dirty word by the fringe on both sides) .She's also getting involved with groups preparing for the Sesquicentennial of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Along with some grant writing. What scares me is in regard to health care and insurance costs moving forward, especially if they cute Medicare and drop the initiatives to bring drug costs in line. When you have one prescription that runs more than a mortgage payment, I might be sharing the dog's dish.

Would much rather be woke than asleep at the wheel.

Which in the end leads to a very slippery slope and establishes a one party system. Then the US becomes like Hungary at best

With Virginia statewide elections coming up in 10 months, I need to keep harping. "it's the Economy stupid". The presumed GOP successor to Trumpkin is a real nut job

I have a friend whose daughter had an offer rescinded from BLM (Bureau of Land Management). Another 40 soon to be out on the streets, making America Great Again

I've gotten to the point where I'll just copy post text, if I'm ambitious enough I'll open it in chrome and post the link.

Carter pardoned draft dodgers residing in Canada.

Our resident Trump Bot hasn't weighed in yet

The movie version of the speech FWIW

I learned a long time ago that media companies, like all other businesses are only interested in one thing $$$$. If you get a chance go back and watch the movie that came out a few years ago about the Edward R Murrow/Sen Joesph McCarthy era. At the beginning is a speech Murrow made to the Radio Television News Directors Association in 1958. It rings Venice more true today. https://www.rtdna.org/murrows-famous-wires-and-lights-in-a-box

At least one of people Trump released has a conscience. I applaud her for being honest.
