Dump Term 2, 1.01: Sleep Now in the Fire

Sarah Szalavitz💡 (@dearsarah.bsky.social)

Judge halts NIH funding cuts for 22 states after California sues Trump admin https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2025-02-10/california-sues-to-stop-nih-indirect-funding-cuts-to-uc-csu-usc-stanford “No statute allows NIH to unilaterally alter all current grants retroactively. Indeed...

Now I know what you are thinking...22 states? But that is less than half of the US! How can this be? They are the only ones that sued. Here is the list:

Mass
Michigan
Illinois
Arizona
California
Connecticut
Colorado
Delaware
Hawaii
Maine
Maryland
Minnesota
New Jersey
New York
Nevada
New Mexico
North Carolina
Oregon
Rhode Island
Vermont
Washington
Wisconsin

This won't last mind you...but it is fun to see that at least some states (mostly Blue) were smart enough to try and fight and not whine like children hoping for a carveout. (like say Alabama)

Apparently Dump got booed at the Super Bowl but Fox overlaid canned cheers in the audio.

International broadcasts clearly have audible boos.

Explains why he left early. So glad the NFL bowed to him by getting rid of "End Racism" in the end zones. I phucking hate the NFL and Goodell most of all. He is a full on POS scumbag.

You really shouldn't hate it

My verdict for the state that gave us 40 years of Bitch McConnell and loves a good "JESUS OR HELL" mailbox sign:

Might need a Costco run next week...better stock up on some medium priced bottles! Hey maybe I can sell them later to desperate alcoholics!
 
Last time it didn't workout so well for the Palestinians or the (Trans)Jordanians. Maybe try Lebanon I am sure that will work ;)
 
I saw on Bluesky that Lauren Boebert was seen getting into a taxi with Kid Rock at 2:30am. There's a match made in heaven. She's so lucky that she gets to hook up with one of the next Kennedy Center honorees!

This is exactly what they want. They’re not trying to make it more efficient, they’re trying to break it so they can replace it with their Rollerball, billionaire led city-states.

Yup. Same tactic the GOP has been running since Reagan...break it, defund it, make it no longer viable then use that as proof that the Government doesn't work and get rid of it.

Only this is much worse because the people in charge of the destruction aren't doing it slowly, they are lighting the whole thing on fire right before our very eyes. I mean one of the clowns who stole all the treasury info was fired from a previous job for stealing all their secured info, trying to sell it to a competitor and then threatening to delete it all.

He is unaware of how many pension funds have gone bankrupt? What a ****head. I hate these people. All of them/

I think he means people funding their own retirements.

Which makes him unaware of how many people either have not, or cannot, fund their own retirement.

Which is why we started Social Security in the first place.

Yep. It has been the most successful poverty prevention program ever. And they have wanted to destroy it since FDR and it took till now for the Democrats to roll over and let them.

And even more evidence. They just want to destroy things, especially the things that protect the poorers and prevent the oligarchs from strip-mining our economy. But they have no idea of what these things do, or how they actually work, so they'll end up destroying the entire country as a result

Russ Vought is an own-the-libs kind of guy, an ideological warrior who delights in watching the world burn. Shutting down the CFPB is his idea of paradise; now the rugged capitalists can get back to work making America great again without interference from meddling bureaucrats determined to punish success.

Then he heard about the APOR tables.

APOR stands for the “average prime offer rate,” and it’s a little tool that keeps the mortgage market running. It involves public servants, every week, going in and calculating it. Those staffers work at the CFPB, and if they’re locked out, you have no APOR tables. And over time, if you have no APOR tables, you have no mortgage market, or at least an uncertain and economically damaging mess

.In the face of this, tough guy Vought blinked, and in so doing revealed why even the most John Galt-ian banker needs the government every now and again.

Our guardrails will protect us from this!

The guardrails:

Which is to say, the guardrails this country had worked just fine when government was operating as it had for years (ICE vehicles weighing 3000 lbs). They did their job redirecting the vehicle and occasional broke but were fixed and if not, there were consequences (the jersey barrier).

This administration is the 8,000 lb Rivian aiming for the guardrails and jersey barrier. Neither are gonna do shit to slow down the runaway behemoth, and a new tactic is needed.
 
There are going to be lots of destitute Boomtards wandering our streets and open fields when they end Soc and Medicare. I, for one, cannot wait to spit on them and tell them to get a fucking job. It's the America they wanted, after all.

And if they phase it out while keeping it for current recipients, I will be sure to loudly complain at every opportunity about all the FREELOADING SOCIALISTS whose housing and bread I'm stuck paying for, and why can't the privileged geriatrics just hurry up and die already?!
 
The ones who aren't homeless will be working 39 hours a week for minimum wage at grocery stores and gas stations. Die for the economy Boomtards and don't expect any of those librul breaks!!
