Trump to Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas....Next hurricane, you guys are on your own Aaron Rupar ‪@atrupar.com‬ Follow Trump: "We're looking at the whole concept of FEMA. I like, frankly, the concept when North Carolina gets hit, the governor takes care of it. When Florida gets hit, the governor takes care of it. Meaning the state takes care of it ... I'd like to see the states take care of disasters."

Trump evidently hasn't talked to farmers getting big $$$ from companies paying to rent their land. They can still plant around windmills if they wish. Solar farm are getting more popular in rural areas here, especially since most of those that own the property are getting older and don't or can no longer put the effort into planting things like soybeans and such. Or their offspring have moved on, and can get mote $$$ renting the fields than they can trying to sell. Most local residence here would almost prefer the solar farm to more subdivisions, rental warehouses or strip malls with empty buildings

Gas prices are up about a dime a gallon here since just before the inauguration. Mostly because of the cold snap and "storms" here on the East Coast most likely. From reports I've seen oil producers are expecting prices to rise a bit " because of policy decisions by major producers and governments" C'mon let's be honest, we're not serious about this we're mote than willing to be manipulated by special interests and, political headwinds and Diet Coke highs.

I'm thinking Matt Patricia was a perfect example of the Peter Principle. Highly touted as an assistant in someone else's system. When promoted he fell flat on his face. I guess he's doing some broadcasting work now, and has lost a ton of weight. Are the Lions in the market for someone to keep DC caffeinated?

I recently came across a 10 year old or so article from Musk's wife #1. She basically described him in just that way. Constantly reminding her he was the Alfa in the relationship. That along with his constant work focus and desire to become one of the major power brokers. Watching Trump since the 80s puts him pretty much the same way, along with his ruthlessness. Musk's South Africa background probably contributes to his traits. With Trump I think he's still trying to prove something to his late daddy (who seemed to be constantly bailing his businesses out of trouble) They are both Alfa males with inferiority complexes and many deep seated prejudices, especially against women and minorities. I've said this before, look up photos of Trump with Putin at Helsinki. He's one cowed little boy

So we'll get 60 year old information about JFK and MLK but not a word on the real cause of death for Trump's buddy Epstein. Come on Donnie Baby make it a trifecta

I don't think either Trump or Musk are true believing Nazi's. They are more likely narcissistic assholes who would do just about anything for attention and power.They are both total control freaks. Personally I think that may be worse.

The House Speaker's Christian ethics strikes again.

Nobody, he'll just become another MAGA drag on society. Not accomplishing anything and living on Trumpfare. His Proud Boy or whomever buddies will welcome him home.

Only the best people. Oops! That was last time around.

At least there is one real Republican with cojones I needed to post on Xer because I have not seen it on the other place

3. It has been an extraordinarily effective program. Prior to 11246 there were very few women or minorities working for government contractors. Now, that is not the case.What will the impact of repeal be?We may never know since we'll stop collecting data. popular.info Trump undercuts enforcement of the Civil Rights Act of 1964

When Trump walked into the National Cathedral, he probably thought it was just another photo op—Bishop Budde made sure it was a reality check. https://www.threads.net/@goodgodabove/post/DFJzv29sUP9?xmt=AQGzqVQL7qU7V0NzRJAGcXizUbxWTR3qw6l2WZ2_B52-EQ

It's going to be interesting for us. We're retired, I think we have enough to stay afloat but my wife is still working part time with a consulting business. Most of it is related to some Public TV initiatives. Things like the National Governor's Association's "Argue Better" initiative which promotes bipartisanship (which seems to be a dirty word by the fringe on both sides) .She's also getting involved with groups preparing for the Sesquicentennial of the Declaration of Independence in 2026. Along with some grant writing. What scares me is in regard to health care and insurance costs moving forward, especially if they cute Medicare and drop the initiatives to bring drug costs in line. When you have one prescription that runs more than a mortgage payment, I might be sharing the dog's dish.

Would much rather be woke than asleep at the wheel.
