thats so cute. im a proud bo-sider as you controlled freaks love to label and put down people. while i enjoy riling dems up more simply because yall are such vile petty creatures, the red sheep are not immune to my type of condescension i assure u. i appreciate the space in that little pumpkin either way shape or form.

Yes, you clearly do not engage in "labelling" or "putting down" people.
 
So we "solve" climate change by dolling out billions of dollars to a Stacey Abrams "non profit" whose entire revenue, prior to the grant, was $100. Seems legit. This is why most Americans support the sledgehammer actions of DOGE. There may be some mistakes (gotta break eggs to make an omelette) and you can nit pick certain decisions, but he's getting the job done.

Where are you getting that most Americans support DOGE?

It is not remotely clear that DOGE is getting any job done. Everything they purport to report about "savings" ends up being shown to be dramatically wrong within a matter of days, if not hours. They've lied and made mistakes about so many things that I find it hard to believe that anyone would think Musk's claims of savings are credible.

Foolish take

I can’t believe you. Sure there is corruption in Mexico’s police, government and military. But guess what? The corruption exists worldwide. Al Capone’s biggest cost of doing business at the height of his power was graft. The problem is there is just too much money involved in these illegal operations for some people not to have their hands out. But bombing the shit out of suspected cartel assets isn’t going to solve the problem. The problem lies in demand in this country for the drugs. Even if military action could eliminate a cartel (which it can’t), another group would step in to fill the void. Addressing the demand problem in this country is something all administrations have failed at. However, addressing that issue successfully is the only way to eliminate the drug problem. Once again, how would you feel if Mexico carried out military operations in this country? And please don’t give the stupid answer of “Fuck Mexico.” That’s the answer an ignorant redneck would give. But, then again, maybe I’m giving you too much credit.

Mexico carrying out military operations in this country is a hypothetical that is a waste of time to consider. It won't ever happen as they can barely carry out a military operation in their own country. It doesn't matter how Mexico feels about it. They have sold their souls to the cartels. I believe you are correct in that we need to address the demand side at the same time as addressing the supply side and they can be done simultaneously. But you are woefully underestimating the effect killing cartel heads would have. Cartels aren't staffed by radicalized, brainwashed jihadists. They are staffed by rational thinking, often poor people who had no other economic options. They have a healthy fear of infinite military capability and power. We have the technology to minimize collateral damage so you are going to see how effective it can be.
 
As of last week 300 African children (and rising) will be born with AIDS because of the pause in USAID. 90 of them will die before their first birthday.
But hey, gotta break some eggs (let children die), right?
Actually, no, that didn’t have to happen. They can investigate fraud without halting lifesaving aid. So, these broken eggs (dead children) didn’t have to be broken. But, hey, when has a trite cliche ever been wrong?

Have you noticed how often you lash out at women? Whenever the GOP does something that you simply cannot defend, it makes you angry and you immediately start attacking people like Kathy Hochul. Very common pattern for you. I'm not saying you're a domestic abuser, but I'll say that you exhibit behaviors that are common among domestic abusers and considerably less common among the rest of us. Just thought maybe you'd like to understand the image you project.

And of course, you don't give a shit about congestion pricing in NYC. But you do like to attack females with authority.

I was criticizing the Mayor of the City of New York for her ridiculous press conference and that's "lashing out" at women? "Very common pattern?" Notice I included Schumer in my post so I guess I'm now lashing out at Jews.

The only female public figures I recall criticizing on this Board are Hochul, Stacey Abrams (ran for Gov and Senate in my state) and Kamala (Dem nominee). The Trump administration is full of women and you and this Board have no issue going after them hard.
 
Immunity planning and development office is responsible for managing other spending programs beyond disaster recovery. Those include paying for infrastructure upgrades like sewers and sidewalks, affordable housing projects and programs like Meals on Wheels. …”

My dad ran Meals on Wheels out of his community action agency for decades. Small dollar investment that goes a long way to feeding people (seniors) with limited mobility and limited resources.

My sister retired and recently started delivering Meals on Wheels a couple times a month and plans on doing more. Sone heart braking and warming stories behind the recipitents.

I see how that works. It's like if you go to a jungle river and kill one crocodile, all the others will just disappear.

It's absolutely stupid to try to stop the cartels outside the country. You can't do it and you'll only piss off everybody in the attempt.

PEPFAR was given a waiver and is being administrated by the State Department.
 
This is what I want to say to the MAGA's here.

I know our views differ considerably. There is not a lot we agree on and that is fine.

I just ask that in the coming months, question whether you really want the consolidation of power in one man that you are seeing. Even if you don't believe that that is happening, just keep it in the back of your mind.

I don't care about our political differences. All political issues are dwarfed in comparison to the damage to our democracy. I don't even care if you don't believe that. I just ask you to reflect on it in the coming months because we all are going to need your support. If things are as bad as I think, none of us will be unscathed.

If I am wrong, then fantastic. I have never in my life wanted so much to be wrong.

You think you’d know what office Hochul holds since you have such strong feelings about congestion pricing.
