Not your stereotypical Boomer. Veteran, mom, metal-head, and an avid gamer. A political wonk since we fought for the right to vote at 18. Democracy requires participation. No DMs. There's a block option and I'm not afraid to use it.

On top of the cost, he's only deploying the National Guard on 29 day deployments so they don't get the benefits of a 30 day deployment. No insurance for sure. He's a cheap SOB when it comes to others and lavish on himself with his gaudy gold decor. Shmuck.

I’m with you. His body & mind are both failing. He’s been hiding because he can’t look weak. Of course there’s nothing he can do about it. As Joni Ernst said, “We all die.” He’s just got access to better healthcare than the rest of us. Even that can’t stop his heart from failing or grow new kidneys
Maggie (@liberalgamer.bsky.social) reply parent
All in gonna say is a friend in a gov agency was told TACO ordered terminations are on hold for 4 months. They were told in August that TACO has CHF and is on dialysis for kidney failure. They expect a leadership change at that time. In line with my expectations of a national Christmas present.
Maggie (@liberalgamer.bsky.social) reply parent
These troops are taken from their regular jobs to pick up trash. Add that TACO ordered a 29 day deployment so they don’t qualify to get the full pay and benefits of a 30 day deployment. Always stiffs people.

I’m sure his health is failing and it’s getting harder to hide symptoms. He hates it when he can’t pretend to be the alpha male and the press shows pics to prove he’s not. His 3 hr “cabinet” meeting was 100% about him needing to get adulation to counteract the reality of how much he’s hated.

Yes but do they still have the same majority white council? Will his election be a repeat of the last one?

So if we can flip the house and Senate before he is ousted by his puppeteers, we can change that. However, I expect him out of office, one way or another, by the end of this year.

I’m forever the optimist but I’m grounded in reality. I believe he will be either pushing up daisies or overthrown soon. That’s not to say we get our country back without us doing the work. People like Thiel, his dog Vance, Miller and others are still going to be in power. They don’t have his cult.

"if tragedy hits" is code for "coming sooner than you think" A friend who works for a fed agency said the TACO ordered terminations are on hold for 4 months BECAUSE they expect a change in leadership at that time. He was told TACO has CHF is on dialysis for kidney failure. Press needs to confirm!!!!

This as a viable way to fight back. If TACO withholds federal funds congressionally allocated to the states, the federal government becomes a deadbeat debtor, reneging on funds promised. The states should have the legal right to withhold that amount from their payments to the federal government.
Maggie (@liberalgamer.bsky.social) reply parent
They may be able to keep the shell alive but CHF can end him even with intervention. He’s also declining mentally. He’s pissed off the oligarchs with his move on Intel. GOP like Joni Ernst are already bailing. Statements by Vance and other factors point to a leadership change. Soon. #Epstein

Didn’t they discover that COVID is actually a vascular disease and not respiratory? That means him having COVID probably sped up the process that has culminated in kidney failure and congestive heart failure. I believe he’s going to be gone, one way or another, by Christmas.

I’ll gladly take the opportunity presented by the struggle for control when TACO is no longer president. His health is absolutely failing and Vance is just drooling. MAGAs won’t be happy with him and the other republicans smell blood in the water. Cutthroat bunch of power hungry hypocrites.

seems like the UN needs to find a new location on neutral turf. The US is in Putin's pocket. Plus TACO seems to think he can treat world leaders disrespectfully without consequence. I love my country but not the regime in power and the human rights violations need to be called out.

I hope that any states or institutions that support research and medical expertise hire these people as fast as they can to prevent them from taking offers in other countries. We need these people and when TACO is gone, Kennedy will most likely be gone too. We'll need experts to undo the damage.

As long as TACO is in charge, we should boycott the Kennedy Center. We can resurrect it when he’s gone.

People are rising up faster than he can get things done. Part of the reason there’s such a push from him right now. That, and he is absolutely in failing health.

Yep! The status quo the democrats hoped to keep helped usher in this regime. Both sides are lazy, owned by special interests and resistant to change in the system. Of course the Dems are the better choice but we can’t let them simply put things back the way they were. Push for progress and reform.

Women’s clothes online are insane with how inconsistent sizing is. I just ordered 2 pair of similar pants from the same source and one is at least 2 sizes bigger while the other one fits. Same size. Plus, in stores if it says women’s wear means a higher price tag. And what’s with all the spandex???

I don’t think the new maps will help them. Here in Texas, they get 5 new districts that they think will be solid red. In the process, they WEAKENED 10 red districts. With current sentiment, Republicans aren’t going to get the slam dunk they are counting on.

One factor Hitler didn’t have going on: he was younger and in good health. TACO is definitely in failing health Someone in one of the agencies said they expect a leadership change within 4 months. Without him as the frontman, the plans will stall giving us a window. He has CHF and kidney failure.

He won't be around for 2028. I heard from a good source that he is on dialysis and has congestive heart failure. Plans are on hold at his agency because they expect a leadership change within 4 months. He'll bluster and pretend as long as he can but his failing health is going to incapacitate him.

Vance will be a disaster. The right is pushing to solidify control now. Issue is TACO has maybe 4 months based on a trusted source who said his dept expects a change in leadership.

Oligarchs & their companies may already be working to get rid of TACO. Extortion to get 10% ownership of big corporations like Intel by this regime is WORSE than paying taxes. They backed him for tax cuts and got a communist play instead. Capitalism is also in danger now. Our economy depends on it.
