They're not stupid. They're hoping their base is just dumb enough to believe their bullshit though. As long as the incredibly stupid continue to watch Fox, Newsmax, and other far right dribble, those representatives will continue to vomit out BS to feed them.

It's not about crime. We all know that. It's about intimidation of states under Democrat control. That's all it's ever been about. He doesn't want anyone other than Republicans running states.

Not violating any laws, but it's just not fair to those troops who are basically civilians and weekend warriors as we called them back when I was on active duty. They have bills to pay, and without that extra money, many will end up behind on payments, which will make them unable to reenlist.
Ben (@gandydancer1961.bsky.social) reply parent
Interesting. What is it?
Ben (@gandydancer1961.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not unusual IF the troops were going back to their states. They're not. The orders end on day 29, and new orders cut on day 31. That's not fair to the troops who have families to support.

Dear GM, Having a message show up on the center screen on the dashboard of my car telling me to not take my eyes off the road because of distracted driving, WHILE I'M DRIVING, doesn't appear to be all that safety conscious. After the first time, it never should show up again.

You will never convince MAGA that systems that function to the benefit of their citizens in other countries would work just fine here. They have been brainwashed into believing that an insurance company that has to make a profit for their shareholders somehow has their best interest in mind.

My lovely wife and I started watching really low budget films the last couple of days. Some are so bad they're actually funny! Last night it was Santa Claus Conquers the Martians, then Manos, the Hands of Fate. The 1st one was dumb, but the 2nd one was a laugh fest.

#modelrailroading A quick couple of days build. I'm calling these finished. Now I need to redo the ranch house i bought that came painted, but a really bad paint job.

Ben (@gandydancer1961.bsky.social) reply parent
The 2nd was written during a time when our fledgling government didn't want a standing army that could be used against the citizens. Not everyone could afford a rifle, so the states provided one for militia members to keep at home in case they were called to serve.

Beware of the man who only has one gun. He knows how to use it! In any situation that requires a firearm, you can only use one at a time, no matter what Hollywood movies tell you. Also, if you have to go rouge, you aren't going to be able to carry all those guns +ammo. So they'll be left behind.
