Lies, Inaccuracies & Stupidity

@BigGame90

 There is a better solution than all or nothing, demeaning and insulting one group is no better than the mistake of allowing crossover to take place. 

We are talking about 10 athletes. Not 10,000.....10.

I agree men should not being playing against women in sports & this was an easy decision. About 80% agree on this subject & how often do 80% of Americans agree on anything?

Is the Elon situation similar to when Fakebook was censoring information during covid? Information that may have been helpful, because the gov't pressured them to hide it? Is Elon and DOGE like the gov't, in that they get to control everything and determine what's right and wrong?   Pretty sure there's more than 10 athletes. This is setting the precedent that little boys should not aspire to be little girls so they can beat the natural girls in sports. Should be 100% agreement on this one, United. 

You appear to just be ranting with no context in your posts. It would be nice if you gave a little background and context with your rants. You don't have to copy and paste every news article that comes out, but maybe a little background on the 10k troops? 

@wallstreetcappers I don't think Trump is insulting anyone other than the people that allowed this madness to begin with and though it was competitively and morally ok. Talk about putting the 10 people over the 10k that Mid speaks of. 

INCOMPETENCE:

To comply with the Donald's executive order on trimming the federal workforce, the CIA sent over the names of new hires to the OMB.

In an unclassified email.

The names include several China-focused analysts whose identities are heavily guarded from Chinese hacks. This is a counterintelligence disaster!

I'm John Radcliff & the Donald put me in charge of the CIA to expose CIA agents & that's just what I did.

It's freaking amatuer hour at the WH.

10,000 troops? Refresh my memory.

You would like me to stop posting all the fuckups, right? Of course, you don't want to hear/read any of them because you realize that not only is the Donald fucking up but you fucked up by voting for him. It's not even 3 weeks & look at the mess he's created.

No chance of me stopping.

Ain't happening  

SHAMEFUL:

Dozens of Head Start programs, which provide childcare and preschool education to low-income children, have been unable to access previously approved federal funding after The Donald's funding freeze putting some programs at risk of having to close their doors in the coming days.

This is what happens when decisions are made willy nilly with no research as to what may happen as a result. Then he plays the fool when executive orders are rescinded, clarified, changed or in this case, absolutely nothing is done. For some kids, their lunch is the best they may eat all week.

We're talking kids here!

But BigGame doesn't want to talk about it because it shines a light on the disaster happening before our eyes.

So your blaming Trump for the CIA purposely sending names in an unclassified email and then notifying the New York Times? 

Your really funny.

Actually, I'm not blaming the Donald here. It's the morons at the CIA who did exactly what they were supposed to do. They provided the names requested.

From a security point of view, the Human Resources executives should have been informed & filled the request. For all we know, the memo came, someone gave it to a lower level employee who was told "take care of this & they did." The thing that really gets me.....we're talking the freaking CIA. Names of our agents. It's like everyone is afraid to question anything & that's fucked up.

I'm concerned where we're headed UNIMAN.

SO HOW ARE THINGS GOING?

Not so good for these folks...

Consumers going to purchase items shipped from China are discovering the first immediate impact of President Donald Trump's new tariffs: fees of "up to $50 or more" on top of their usual shipping costs, reported Wired.

The key sticking point is that the policy change eliminates a longtime "de minimis" exemption from trade duties for parcels worth less than $800, suddenly causing people to owe fees they've never paid.

Beginning Tuesday, "US shoppers have reported receiving notices from UPS and DHL stating they owed between $20 to over $50. Some small business owners, meanwhile, say the new fees are forcing them to temporarily halt sending orders to the US completely," reported Zeyi Yang. "US customers who placed orders on shopping websites like the popular Chinese fast-fashion platform Shein have been particularly impacted, even if they made their purchases long before the tariffs were announced. They are now forced to either pay the hefty fees — in some cases, more than the cost of the actual items — or have their packages sent back."

Oftentimes, these fees outright hold up the packages from even being delivered.

For example, according to the report, "Chardonnay Love, an artist from Pennsylvania, says she received a text message from DHL on Tuesday explaining she needed to pay $26.20 in import duties to get a Shein order that already cost her $267.14." Meanwhile, Leslie Brown, who owns a Canadian clothing reseller that does business through eBay and Poshmark, said “I am now stuck with $30,000 of items I can’t move across the border, the lifeblood of my business.”

New tariffs taking effect this week were also to apply to Mexico and Canada; however, at the last minute, the leaders of both countries managed to negotiate a one-month delay with the Donald by agreeing to border security measures they were already doing anyway. The tariffs on China, however, are in full force, with significant impacts on trade.

On Tuesday, the U.S. Postal Service  suspended all shipments of parcels from China altogether, although this suspension was lifted on Wednesday morning.

Can't be screwing around with small businesses. It's becoming a "who's on first" comedy except it's not funny.

@Midnight1

 It obviously was done on purpose. Betcha NYT reporters are on that list. Time to get the NYT moles out of govt.

The only thing I'm worried about is Dems pushing for violence.

One word, TEMU

NBCChicago; 

• Temu is promoting items shipped from U.S. warehouses more prominently in its app after President Donald Trump's decision to revoke a popular trade provision called de minimis.
• De minimis helped propel Chinese e-commerce upstarts Temu and Shein to explosive growth in the U.S.
• Temu has onboarded more sellers with U.S. inventory in recent years as lawmakers have zeroed in on the de minimis exemption.

Liberals are a sick breed of people that perpetuated this nonsense. 

Seems to me that without a mole, we may never had Nixon leave because of Watergate. Remember some of the lowlifes in that disaster?

When you have a pissed off workforce, stuff like this happens. It shouldn't but it does. A couple of drinks for somebody making 35k can reap a lot of information.

As far as violence, we are a very peaceful people. Well, not unless you really piss us off.

NEVER GONNA HAPPEN:

If Muskrat wants to cut government funding, he should give back all the billions in government subsidies (handouts!) he got for Tesla and the billions in government contracts he got for SpaceX.

Every single penny.

And he should sign a pledge never to take another penny.

Your serve Elon

TIC TOC:

Two million US federal workers face a deadline tomorrow to either quit with a guarantee of eight months more of getting paid or risk being fired on the spot.

Talk about pressure!!

What do you do? Do you take the money with the hope you will actually get the bucks? Or do you stick it out thinking someone has to stop that madman? Consider this, you may take the deal & you may be forced to work those 8 months to actually get the money anyway. I could see Workmans Comp cases go up the ying yang. (Excuse my phrasing)

The Donald calls this a "Fork in the Road Decision." I bet he has no clue what that means. I call it "A Stick Up the Ass Decision."

Government "efficiency czar" Muskrat said it was a chance to "take the vacation you always wanted, or just watch movies and chill, while receiving your full government pay and benefits." 

What a condescending prick!

Decisions, decisions that will impact the lives of thousands.

If Musk and DOGE wants to know about Medicare fraud, there's an expert in the Senate in Rick Scott. His company was fined $1.7 billion for perpetrating Medicare fraud…..The man wrote the book on thievery!

WHERE IS THAT MAN?

State agriculture officials confirmed Wednesday, at least four cattle herds in Nevada have tested positive for a strain of H5N1 bird flu never before seen in cows.

RFK JR told to find out the the whereabouts of Dr.Fauci.

OU GOTTA SIT DOWN FOR THE BUNCH OF BULLSHIT I'M GOING TO SHARE HERE..

THE Donald: Tommy Tuberville, a great coach. You know, his quarterback was named Mahomes, he was a great college coach. And I said, how good was he? He said, you don't want to know how good."

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!

TUBERVILLE NEVER COACHED MAHOMES! THE DONALD JUST MAKES SHIT UP!

Kliff Kingsbury was unavailable for comment.

u might need  a link to a youtube clip , 2 hours of Biden gaffe's and nonsense ? 

This is not a gaff.

This is the president telling a total bullshit story about something that never happened. I realize people can forget some details & our memory fades but mentioning a conversation about facts that are verifiably crap is disturbing don't ya think? Speaking of crap...

There's a huge rumour down here about the Donald consistently crapping in his diapers. Having sharted twice myself in life, it's a horrible feeling. But doing it everyday ....multiples times a day is one of the major reasons that Melania hasn't slept with him in years. The help at Mar A Largo can't keep up with maintaining clean sheets on his bed. They have nicknamed him "Dumpin Donald Trump."

Now in his defense, he's nearly 79, he’s probably on a bevy of drugs for high cholesterol, possibly diabetes, some stimulant pharmaceuticals, Diet Coke’s out the wazoo, chowing down on Mickey D's and KFC, not to mention the chemicals he bathes in for his hair and skin. His bowels must weep 24/7. 

cute story , we heard and said exactly the same about Joe Biden 

this is classic DJT, he saw a prime real estate buying low opportunity on the water.  We all know how he speaks, you can tell he was reading off a paper, probably chicken scratch notes but his idea of no one can live there right now is true.  the place looks like wwII europe in saving private ryan movie.  You could go to either the Vegas strip, the Atlantic City boardwalk or the Gaza strip 

Rebuild it is a waste of money unless the region comes to terms, and as far as I understand no one wants the Palestinians.  Egypt and Jordan refuse because of past practice, look the US can't do anything like this in the region ever.  Israel has the 2k bunker bombs and Iran has short range nukes.  The Saudis don't want the US as a neighbor, this whole subject is just a crazy dream we wake up from tomorrow with new news

Unnecessary order by Trump to ban transgender athletes.  Out of 510,000 athletes who compete in NCAA, under 10 are transgender.  Crude for society to unfairly discriminate against a harmless minority that poses no real threat.  According to Sports medicine journal, no research consistently shows transgender people have an advantage in the long term.  But demagogue Trump's fearmongering appeals to the ignorance and prejudice of voters who fear diversity.

@soup-can

 This Palestine nonsense is insulting and lacking reasonable intelligence. Nobody wants the Palestinians? Why do you think that they should be shuffled off like cattle to other countries when history proves that their people have as much or more claim to Israel and that territory than Israel does? They have full right to feel that the entire region is theirs because it IS theirs. The difference is that Israel was given land from the UN ushered from the US support and the Palestinians have no access to the UN and are a splintered people like Israel has been but given their religious differences they are left out in the cold. 

It is disgusting to see Trump siding with a mass murderer and validating the terror Netty was allowed to make on those living in Gaza like trapped animals, the only access into the region is controlled by their enemy and you wonder why they are antagonistic and angry...you try getting the land which you feel and are correct to feel is yours and shoved into a cruddy third world zone where your enemy controls you. 

Shame on Biden and Trump both for allowing this to happen, there is no innocent party there are attacks always and often in that area for thousands of years, the catalyst for this invasion was serious but not altruistic or realistic as both parties attack the other and there is no correct or valid side in this situation.

The US and the UN have never been interested in balance in the region or helping all people, we blindly side with Israel on everything and the last president who actually made an attempt to help the region was Carter, none other since and I do not see that changing given the money and vote block that Israel has in the US.
