We’ve been doing that for 10 years now.

There is really nothing that can be done until January 2027. JD Vance and Mike Johnson hold the keys to anything with the 25th and impeachment. All the screaming and venting doesn’t matter. He could stand at the WH podium in black face shouting the N word and then shoot a puppy. this is our world. Podcasts and the media folks and columnists are not capable anymore. Their power is gone.

But the knuckle draggers will tell you “he doesn’t take a salary”

I think that’s what I am getting. I’ve never heard of these peoole but each post has over 1K comments. I started submitting “not interested” reports.

Imagine voting for that guy.

Superfly! Ron O Neal.

Not sure what happened but my FB feed the last 2 days has been a barrage of right wing pushes. Popular accounts so they aren’t new. But new to me. It’s very obvious something was triggered. I’ve never seen tbese before.

If a variation of that word ever gets used around me I will confront then get violent if I don’t like the answer.

I don’t think it’s threats or blackmail. They realized “ok, he’s not going anywhere. We need his voters”. Deep down they want him gone but the only ones who ever say it are those retiring. There’s always going to be ass kissing for the president. Any president. The tech bros and captains or industry support the peoole in charge. Regardless of policies. Part of it is ego and personal wealth and the other part is they are often in charge of companies that are public and employ thousands. They can’t let their personal politics interfere. Their responsibility is to shareholders and employees. Ethically and legally.

Because he hates the right people. That enabled the loonies like Mike Johnson to tolerate it. If the evil lesbians and liberals can’t stand the guy then it’s all good. The other reason is people like Ted Cruz and Rubio and Graham can never admit they were wrong after they flipped once already to be pro trump. They would rather destroy the country than admit we were right about him. We have one more chance, if we are allowed to, to save this country in about 9 1/2 months.

His VP and cabinet like this. It keeps us distracted so they all can do the other stuff. nothing is ever going to happen to him Or them.

Yeah I call ChatGPT “Chad”. Just a thing we do

I’m using Chad to help me make French onion soup along with smoking a Chuck roast for sliders. If it turns out ok then I will get some oven safe bowls to make it perfect. It’s especially useful when it’s a sustained process and you need a quick answer. Last week I made tortilla soup and needed a quick “packets of taco seasoning vs bulk measurement” conversion. Or if you don’t have a certain spice or ingredient and what would be a good substitute. Online recipes are a mess to sort thru. The options it presents are great. Traditional vs steakhouse vs quick… and offering guidance during the caramelizing process.

There’s a corner lot house we run by with a nice pool and on their fence around the pool they have a sign listing all the things they proudly do, which are things nobody ever told them they could no longer do. (Like say Merry Christmas).

Sky’s?

They don’t want it for themselves. But the #1 requirement to be a trump voter is lack of empathy. So who cares if others are hurt. They’ll be fine. They won’t lose their farms or businesses over tariffs. The Chinese will pay for it.

I could see cases where he gets the DoD to seize ballots and once that happens…. All bets are off. We will have elections like Russia does. There will be a declared winner but the accuracy will be in doubt.

I have a lot of friends and peers who retired recently so it’s a common topic. I have a few more years but I recognize time flies. I’ve started making changes. One friend told me “you don’t realize how much you piss away when you are working”. He meant it as “it’s easier than you think”. The hardest part will be keeping my wife still. Today’s a good example. It’s cold. Nothing going on. It’s ok to just be home all day. But she has this restless need to “be productive” which I counter with “yeah but that usually means spending money”. I once suggested we watch a show but she couldn’t wrap her head around doing something like that in the afternoon. Like we are being lazy. We worked all week. It’s ok.

The rollout of the SLS for Artemis II to launch pad 39B

You could with a 10% penalty.

He has a limited shelf life. They all do. Why give up one of his great years? If we are being honest, how good do you think he'll be in 2029 and 2030?
