Prosperity Gospel.... They tend to forget a few key verses: Isiah 41:17, Matthew 5:3 Mark 20:21 (a very key one) Luke 6:20, 1 Timothy 6:8.... I'm sure our resident Trumpers have these memorized

I was just at a Kroger, eggs and TP still sky high. The Musk/Trump Presidency is a farce

I didn’t watch the ceremony. Spent my time productively buying a new suit. Tell me this didn’t happen https://nypost.com/2025/01/20/us-news/trump-did-not-place-hand-on-bible-for-oath-of-office/

I just wish they'd get my order right once in a while. We do stop on when my wife needs a caffeine fix, she a tea drinker and the locally owned coffee shop near us doesn't do that well

Article II Section 2 of the Constitution permits this and its been upheld by the Supreme Court (Ex parte Garland, 1866. Ford used it to Pardon Nixon. I guess it depends on your political bent

I admit that was a weird comment. As much as I support it, Presidental fiat doesn't make it fact.

I have several veterans in my family, lost a cousin in Viet Nam (thanks to a guy too drunk to do his job one morning) None of them ever wore their service on their sleeve. I respect that

Self righteous much

BTW ending Birthright Citizenship cannot be "ended" by an executive order. It's guaranteed by the 14Th amendment of the U-S Constitution.

Retired a while ago. Having more fun volunteering than I ever did working. The pay isn't great, but the rewards...

Spends what $60 bucks, and then brags about it. Dude at least you could have included scones. Typical MAGA though, brags about doing the minimum.

Just like the 12 year old he is...

People of DC: I'm not there, but on TV weather doesn't *look* like out of range for cold inaugs. People aren't holding themselves as if trying to survive, etc. Doesn't look like Obama 2009, Carter 1976, of course Reagan 1985 Judging on the scale of *other cold inaugurations,* how cold does it feel? 2/2 Also, if goal was to disguise small crowd size, not really working. Hardly anyone on the sidewalks (including in long stretches of motorcade route where spectators can go, and which are usually thronged as these events). https://bsky.app/profile/jfallows.bsky.social/post/3lg6ojv4i422d

I'm chronologically a bid old for the former, but it rings true

I've been pardoned many times by powers higher than Trump.

Drunk posting is not a good look

https://www.borowitzreport.com/p/inauguration-to-be-held-inside-cybertruck WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In an eleventh-hour decision on Sunday, the Inauguration of Donald J. Trump has been moved from the Capitol Rotunda to the interior of a Tesla Cybertruck. The change of venue, dictated by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), means that only people with a net worth of over 100 billion will be able to attend. “There’s room for me, Zuckerberg, and Bezos, but, unfortunately, not JD Vance,” Musk said. “I usually don’t let employees work remotely, but JD will be allowed to call in.” The decision to hold the Inauguration inside the electric vehicle pleased Trump, who estimated the number of people inside the truck at 4 million.

Can you put a tariff on bitcoin

This probably belongs in the investment thread, but politics.....

Saying the quiet part out loud...

The grift is strong with this crime family. It used to be running and serving was considered a public service, not an industry. Back when we WERE great

I think he may beat Scaramucci's record...
