    har, 'your own'

    You really are not very bright sometimes, are you ? Surprising.
  • FD1000: Elon came with a simple requirement for all these "very busy" Gov workers.
    List 5 Things They Did Last Week or Be Fired.

    What you do not understand is that Elon Musk cannot legally demand that federal employees list five things they did last week or be fired. Or, like Elon Musk and trump, you do understand, but do not care about the laws.

    FD1000: It's a fair easy question to ask. I had to fill out a weekly status report of every assignment and the hours I worked on for over 30 years.

    You were an at-will employee, thus you could be fired if you did not list 5 things you did last week.
  • A friend is here on Oahu on official business with Homeland Security. Meeting counterparts from Canada, Japan, Oz, NZ and S. Korea. He received uncle Elon's email, too. He replied with a picture of himself relaxing on the beach.
    ...And though I am retired and not required, strictly speaking, to reply to Elon, this is what I sent:
    Elon must eat my shorts.
    Elon sucks mud from dead dogs in the street.
    Spaghetti, mayo and Wonder Bread.
    Feed the fish.
    Water the plants
    .

    You guys can send your best ideas, too. The email address is [email protected]

    Just be sure you don't accidentally reveal any identifiable data about yourself. In addition, I chose to use my encrypted email account out of Belgium: Mailfence.

    Nah, we should put our trust in a guy who backs Putin and regurgitates Russian propaganda - i.e. dictatorship accusations towards Zelensky.

    That's the guy we should stand behind.

    yeah ...

    Is it not astounding that with today's UN vote, Russia finally has won the Cold War, in the same way the South finally has won the Civil War.

    What an ending to the postwar Boomer era.
    18 countries including the US and Russia voted against.Israel was one of the 18, too.

    Fox News Pundit Lashes Out at Musk for ‘Vendetta’ Against Civil Servants

    "Elon Musk has fired tens of thousands of government workers. Well, every day, personally, his business is getting $8 million of government funding," she began.

    Georgia Republican faces town hall backlash over DOGE's 'chainsaw approach' to federal cuts

    "Rep. Rich McCormick faced an angry crowd Thursday during a town hall in his Georgia district, where many constituents lashed out at the Republican lawmaker over his support for massive federal layoffs and budget cuts by the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency."

  • Washington Free Beacon. Honestly? The slogan under their template transparently expresses their pre-tainted point of view. Joe Friday used to say: "Just the facts, Ma'am."

    MAGA couldn't identify a FACT if it kicked them in the ass. It's all spin: convoluted, manipulated, folded, mutilated and spindled. Pass the Orange Kool-Aid, please. Oh, and I don't want to forget to mention that the Orange President is a Russian asset. Friday's humiliation of Zelenskyy in the Oval sealed THAT. BTW, how is it that the RUSSIAN Press was there for the whole thing? ORK?

    @FD1000,

    You provided a link to an article published by The Washington Free Beacon.
    Assuming that you are genuinely concerned about factual reporting and political bias,
    selecting distinguished media sources would facilitate the acquisition of accurate data.

    Media Bias / Fact Check reports:
    "Overall, we rate the Washington Free Beacon Right Biased based on story selection
    that favors the right and Mixed for factual reporting due to misleading and false claims."

  • @FD1000 evidently feels that what's OK for Ukraine is not OK for Israel. Interesting.

  • Israel vs Ukraine = very little in common, unless you don't know history, religion, and a lot more.

    The established Lib media have been distorting the truth for decades, which is why their ratings and the number of people who watch them are in decline. Only Libs believe in their fact checks.
  • Yup, more than 50% off the population has it wrong and only you and yours have it right. Wait until they come for you.
  • BS1000 is a perfect example of how the MAGA regime divides and conquers.

    1) Its "us vs. them". That draws them in. "We are going to change the system." "Damn them libtards."
    2) Then they watch FoxNews and drink in the propaganda. Tap into the hate and frustration, especially amongst the poor.

    The problem is:

    3) MAGA (via Project 2025) is really a plan hatched by a few wealthy dudes, and it was never an "us" situation at all. The frustrations of normal citizens will not be addressed.

    Once safety nets are removed, the poor in this country will be left further exposed.

    And Jared Kushner is getting ready to develop "prime real estate" in Gaza. LOL. What a joke.
  • "Once safety nets are removed, the poor in this country will be left further exposed."

    As if BS1000 gives a damn. He's got his.

    Yes, and some people like him are simply drawn to bullies. They equate it with power. Not sure how it's possible to bond with a pathological liar, but they learn to make excuses for him and overlook his many, many flaws.

    We might see Orange as a failure who filed at least 6 bankrupties and whose biggest success was a reality TV show where he quips "Your fired" repeatedly. We might see him for what he is - a con man. A convict. A rascist. A bully.

    A person whose final bankruptcy act will be that of our nation. You reap what you sow, and the American people voted him in.

    So those Haitians really were "eating the dogs, eating the cats"?

    Did you hear that Zelensky is a dictator? "Did I say that?"

    Tonight's propaganda speech should make for excellent theatre.

  • @JD_co: I'd need an anti-nausea med to listen to that tonight. I may be awol.

    I suspect the media will watch him pat himself on the back for what a great job he claims he is doing. Agreed, no need to watch his sorry act tonight or any night. The king of doubling down will spew out his nonsense.

  • No plans to watch, here. AOC and some others will boycott. Why validate the coup d'etat with one's presence? Remember Nancy tearing up her copy of the Orange speech? "Why did you do that?" ..."Because it's more polite than the alternative." Lies, lies and more lies spew from the Orange Orifice, every time he opens it.
