You really need to get some help, man. I like talking shit to you but it's starting to feel like I'm punching down.

Let me take off my shit-talking glasses for a second and ask you a sincere, genuine question: what on earth does it matter to you and why are you so deeply obsessed with it? How does it affect you in any way, shape, or form? I genuinely want to understand why you have such an enormous hard-on for me in particular.

I'd reckon I've voted for far more Republicans in my 16 years of voting than you've voted for Democrats in your entire life. I don't care if you think that's true or if you don't. Doesn't matter to me. You have a very, very weird fixation on the fact that I am very outspoken in my hatred for Donald Trump and the current iteration of the Republican Party, yet I still consider myself to be overall conservative ideologically. Why is that so hard for you to wrap that tiny little mind around? Do you think KraftyHeel is lying when he says he's conservative but hates Trump? Do you think Lawtig is lying when he says he's conservative and hates Trump?

This will come as a huge shock to you, I know, but you don't have a monopoly on conservatism, nor do you have a monopoly on who gets to consider themselves conservative and who doesn't. You think that blindly voting down party line makes you a conservative; I think that it makes you a cockgobbling red sheep. I think that putting my principles and my country over party makes me conservative; you think it makes me some radical jihadist leftist extremist. Whatever, to each of us our own. The difference is, I don't run around this board chasing you begging for your attention and affirmation the way you beg for mine. If that's how you want to conduct yourself, I won't stop you, but I'm damn sure going to do my best to make sure it's as humiliating of an experience as possible for you.

Waving the white flag and bowing out Iike a whipped dog is the first smart damn thing you’ve ever done on this board. Let it be a lesson to you to not try to match shit talking wits with someone who relishes it way more than you.

Let me know where to send the final rent check and we’re even!

Fair point. But he didn't do that.

Well, Trump did do that. and according to Trump

Executive branch >> Legislative branch = Judicial branch (apologies to Sen. Tuberville)

But according to the US Constitution and 250 years of executive, legislative and judicial opinion ... which apparently doesn't count for shit anymore ...

Executive branch = Legislative branch = Judicial branch

What you need to know about impoundment, and how Trump vows to use it

It's a concept that’s normally dry, esoteric and distanced from Americans' everyday lives, yet the heart of the matter is a key question of American democracy.

When it all shakes out though the fallout will be Judicial Branch > Executive Branch = Legislative Branch

Well zuckerberg yea. He's a douche. I think the point is Biden would have never thought to audit anything. Looking for efficiency gains and to reduce wasteful spending hasn't been a big priority for politicians on either side until now. It's long overdue and beyond necessary. I can respect not liking the method taken, but to bitch when you find spending like what was found under USAID, that's not methodology, that's partisan bullshit and I can't respect that at all. And I'm using that as an example. Can't wait until the shit at the pentagon is highlighted.

Thinks Elon's not a douche... 😂😂

It's hilarious how much you bootlick. Elon and Trump would not give a shit about you if you were growing on their ass.

Spoiler, they are not going to save any money for you. All money is going into their pockets, or the pockets of other very rich people. You are not close to rich.

Fair point. But he didn't do that. And elon isn't doing a true audit as an accounting firm would do. He's more trying to uncover just the type of wasteful spending he has so far, and then make a public showing to gin up good pub for trump. He's kind of playing circus director and taking a business approach to g'ment. I like that because I think there are many advantages that g'ments could adopt from the business world. I also like that the public gets to see how the tax dollars are being spent and by which agency. And, its his right to hire whomever he wants for that type of role. The method elon is using isn't to my liking and I think it hurts trump because there is no need to take a sledge hammer approach and then rub that in the left's nose. Ultimately he will lose some public support when he could have accomplished the same thing and actually increased his public support.

Calla, in all seriousness… I think what concerns me is that you are taking at face value what is being said about these actions and believing this is all about Trump/Musk cutting government spending to reduce waste and debt. I’m not sure that is what is actually happening here, and that is what is scaring me. If there were reasonable, principled people coming in to audit the system, reduce spending (including crazy military spending) AND raise taxes on the 1% to reduce debt… sign me up. The national debt IS a looming problem for this country. However, these are not actions of reasonable, principled people and my worry is that we are about to enter a dark era in American history.

FYI I'm confident that Shenanigans = Silence Dogood (on one of these threads, Shenanigans replied to himself in Silence's voice, among other evidence). They might both be Scientific Mapp.

Super, I figured out your voice thing, I think. If you start to reply to one message, leave that area by hitting back, then hit reply to another message, it will include both messages you are replying to it seems. There isn't a good way to close out of the 1st reply area. I can assure you I don't know anyone here. I mainly joined to make fun of Callatoroy, since he is so gullible. How much money do you think he has given Trump? I'm guessing at least 5k

Unfortunately, based on the stupidity of American voters, and what has transpired the last 3 weeks, we now are in a conservative dictatorship.

I don't expect to have a democrat as president, or a majority in the House or Senate in my lifetime again. I'm in my early 40's.

The leopards are inside the house now.

If Trump is alive in 4 years, he will 100% try to remain the president. I think the right will take him out, blame democrats, as Elon, JD and Thiel are much more useful for their techbro revolution.

This is the reality. Conservatives are your enemy now. Treat them as such. There is no negotiating. Elections in 2 years will be fully rigged, even 70% voting blue won't matter.

They want Project 2025, and we have to stop them. Don't be surprised if trans folks and anyone (legal or illegal) speaking Spanish is in an internment camp.

I wish Americans weren't so fucking stupid, but we are.

Here's to hoping hoping Elon and Trump engage in a battle of smallest dick. Might be our only hope.

My favorite part was the part about not having another Democrat as president for the rest of your life, lol.

Democrats will have a great chance to win the White House in 2028 if they can drop some of the dumb stuff from their platform and focus on kitchen table issues.

Yes. If they stop kowtowing to the fringe in their party and nominate a quality candidate.

Biden, a decent, centrist candidate with (at least at the time he was elected) no real ties to wokeness, DEI or other fringe issues, just freaking curb stomped Trump in 2020.

This isn't rocket surgery or brain science.

Kamala did not mention trans people once during her campaign. Guess who did? The GOP kowtows to morons, and America has a shit ton of them. Enjoy your fascism, let's make it mainstream!
 
For anyone who has been in an organization of even medium size, it’s take a very long time to conduct a proper budget audit. If you’re cutting funding from programs in less than 2 weeks on the job it is physically impossible for you to have learned what they do or where the waste is. It’s simply impossible. You don’t care about accuracy, just optics. This is organizational science 101.

She didn't mention it once. Do you know how many times she disavowed her previous support for taxpayer funded, sex change operations for illegal immigrants in prison? Zero. Not one time could she step back from that ludicrous position.

Guess what? The Trump campaign pounded the airwaves with ads about it. "She's for they/them. He's for you." I read, in some states, that ad accounted for over 1/3 of their ad-spend.

She was asked about it and all she could muster was "I will follow the law".
