Trumps Presidency 2025

[Mr.TaterSalad]

The same day as a horrific crash that has caused a loss of life and our Defense Secretary is on Fox News talking about bull**** instead of being briefed and doing his job.

Look, I have no idea whether these moves had anything to do with this individual incident or not...

But one thing is clear: they are treating all of this like a game. When all of us rely on these federal employees to get from A to B

Not a single bit of empathy or concern for the victims

The un-seriousness here

AI nurses are as good or better than doctors.   Let that sink in. 

Being sick is really a matter of choice.  Let that sink in.

Is Healthcare a right?  Would not answer.  Let that sink in.

Under prolonged badgering, Kennedy all but admitted he thinks care should be denied if your past behavior wasn't "healthy" enough. "Free speech doesn't cost anybody anything, but in health care, if you smoke cigarettes for 20 years and you get cancer you are now taking from the pool. Are you guaranteed the same right?" Kennedy snapped at Sanders.

Government by and for rich jackasses who think very little about the proles and outer party.

Hey now!

Washington — Tulsi Gabbard's nomination to be President Trump's director of national intelligence is in peril as she faces skepticism from senators ahead of her confirmation hearing Thursday. 

Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and combat veteran, faces a narrow path to confirmation amid concerns over her decision to meet with Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad in 2017, her past push to pardon National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden, her views on Ukraine and her previous opposition to renewing a key government surveillance authority, known as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. 

If confirmed, the 43-year-old who has no background in intelligence, would be tasked with overseeing the nation's 18 spy agencies. 

Last week, two sources told CBS News that Gabbard's nomination is at risk of being blocked and called the situation "fluid." Sens. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska and Susan Collins of Maine are among the Republicans concerned about her nomination, they said.

Man...almost as if it would be hard to believe her.

Collins said Monday she's seeking clarity from Gabbard about her position on Section 702. Gabbard, who sought to repeal the controversial law that authorizes the U.S. government to collect the communications of foreigners abroad without a warrant, has since reversed her stance. In a statement to Punchbowl earlier this month, Gabbard said she now supports the surveillance authority, calling it "crucial" to protecting national security.

I have zero doubt that they're combing through the victim list hoping one of the pilots or Air Traffic Controllers were women or people of color so they can blame DEI hires for the tragedy.

He just isn’t at all capable of feeling empathy.

I saw the plane was full of families going to a figure skating competition.

I went to the dentist yesterday and my hygenist was telling me about how her whole family was going to a skating competition in Boston.  SO no, not the same one, but it puts a human face on it for me as I imagine a plane full of young people like the girls I saw in the photos yesterday, happy to be going to see someting they enjoy.

and yeah.... this admin is hoping that there will be some non white person involved in this.  The cynicism is warranted.

We can hope for a remote chance this will wake up the leaders currently in charge of our country, or at least those who have the power to stop them, to knock off all the bull**** like we saw from that Priest at the Pro Life thing earlier in this thread.  This is life and death.

The Republican party's love for our country and it's people is dwarfed by their love of money and hatred of liberals.  That's their driving focus.

I would hope they would delay the nomination hearings out of respect.  It is important that people see how dangerous these nominations are.

confirmation hearings are a total waste of time - the appointees just lie through their teeth. Until a Congress is willing to impeach or judge or cabinet officer for having lied at a confirmation, it will just continue to get worse. There is no accountability.

seconded but...this does at least seem to be at risk given the obvious badness of this group of three.
