Centrist, feminist (aren’t ALL women?), from the hippie generation (NOT part of the 80’s yuppies)-would rather be an unrealistic idealist who believes in the power of love, giving to community & Aquinas’ “to whom much has been given, much is expected.”

He’s really going off the deep end, spiraling. Obsessing.

Films are one of the most international of endeavors. What’s he hoing to do next, ban non-US actors (the Helmsworths, Dames Dench & Mirren, all WWII films filmed in the US rather than in Europe or Asia? Trumps’ stupidity knows no bounds. No Keith Urban?

We need more info. Right now we just have the FBIs assertion of what happened and why. Seems pretty unusual for the FBI to arrest someone who is already in a courthouse.

Paypal is so immoral. Talk about grift. They set up a branch for nonprofits. But in the fine print, they collect the $ immediately from donees but don’t forward it to the intended nonprofit for 2 months. They’re using the float to make $ during that 2 mos. Slimy as hell.

It’s only been 78 days and he’s done so much irreversible harm and damage to the US. He clearly has no idea what he’s doing. No wonder he went repeatedly bankrupt and now he’s doing the same to us.

They still have to do the “5 things I did this week”, have to ensure they don’t use algorithm words (ie, women), and are deathly afraid their pensions/401ks will be denied since they were “fired” not laid off. Or there’s no one left in Personnel to know what they are owed on termination.

Mass layoffs in pvt co’s protect the ee’s by the WARN Act which requires 60 days advance notice that the layoffs will occur on X date, provide COBRA, etc. The Fed’l ee’s are being FIRED FOR (bogus) CAUSE which makes them ineligible for unemployment, COBRA, etc. Many are in small towns w/ no jobs.

It’s like Waltz wanted an outside witness to the clown car. I wish Goldberg had just contacted Waltz on the DQ to ask why he was added, and/or just kept mum in the hopes he’d be included in future chats.

Nope. New builds sell for more $ than the home they destroyed would have cost. Just have more housing that is out of reach. A charade that fools no one. Most growth is from wealthy immigrants, many who use the homes as 2nd home or to rent. Rents increasing by 15-30%—on a base rent of $2K/mo!

I understand that the bill includes a sizable increase in defense spending. With all the military & adjacent layoffs; withdrawing military from Europe, Asia, Ukraine, etc. shouldn’t military costs be decreasing? What am I missing? Help me make sense of this!!

TBH it feels like Trump is intentionally setting Musk up. T is so beholden to M, he can’t just tell him to back off. So he’s giving M free rain to fail so that T can then blame others for M being on the next mission to ISS, never to return.

It’s so shameful. Whatever Russia advocates is indubitably not the side we want to be on. Their govt is our enemy, Putin is exKGB, and they are NOT our allies. Anyone who leads us to follow their path is a traitor. Period. Full stop.

a huge tax hit. Either eliminate the tax, or adjust the exclusion. Based on CPI-double-$500//$1M. And for God’s sake, get rid of the single penalty which never made sense & is unfair to the single, widowed, divorced. A house is a house regardless the # living there.

Many people rely on their final home sale to fund their long-term care. But they pay cap gains on the diff btwn what sales & purchase price, less a $250K/500K exclusion. That exclusion amount was set in 1997 and was not indexed to inflation. Given steep rise in home prices, they are taking /1

They do realize that a very large & growing portion of those on Medicaid are the elderly who can no longer work, & whose savings & home equity have been decimated by medical & care costs, regardless how well they saved & planned. Squeezed by inflation (2.5% COLAs do nothing), recessions. /1

While satisfying, is VERY counter productive to enlisting people u the opposite when there were signs of softening of attitudes. May prove their point of an amoral deep state not worthy of being in gov’t & representing the American public. Grow up.

This is where government subsidies should come in. Keep prices down and producers afloat. But bird flu is now in dairy cows so people will have it soon. Public health systems are being dismantled so vast people will die so demand will drop. Problem fixed!

The inspector generals & GAO were the best bet for any kind of meaningful oversight. Financial statement audits are not operational audits. Vastly different purposes and perspectives.

Qs should focus on the future. Should ask about the bird flu/Marburg-both on our doorstep. What has he learned about em (he’s read up on in prep for new job)? How would he determine how to react? who would he consult? On whose advice would he rely? what measures would he be willing to take, etc?

Trump and Elon think that the skill, experience & clearances for these kinds of jobs can be found anywhere. These aren’t like business or tech jobs where skilled employees are a dime a dozen. Unless they plan to hire from the SVR/FSB/KGB—nothing like having Russian moles within the FBI.

He had gotten a bit of a swollen head in Seattle, and just wasn’t all in or ready. A couple years of humble pie did him good, and I’m glad to see him regain his talents.

So how do you build in the CRITICAL step of a pharmacist review of ALL of a patient’s meds & supplements? Do you understand why pharmacology is a different field & the role they play and why people CANNOT rely on their doctors’ alone? If you don’t get this, you are looking at lawsuits.

You know what, if that’s what happens then that’s what we deserve. Despite everything, the majority voted. My hope is that Trump is an abysmal failure. I will not write a congressperson to ask them to intercede. The Republicans need to own ALL OF THIS.

Not giving up. Stepping back. Voters spoke. I think they were wrong. But I think the only way to rid ourselves of MAGA is to let Trump & his minions fail spectacularly. It will be agonizing & painful. Meanwhile the Dems need to rebuild. Too short on good leadership within its ranks.
