The problems come as the Trump administration’s cost-cutting team, led by Elon Musk, has imposed a downsizing that’s led to 7,000 job cuts and is preparing to push out thousands more employees at an agency that serves 73 million Americans.

All retirement planning in the United States includes Social Security in the calculation. With the loss of wealth after Trump finishes destroying the economy, and the end of Social Security forever NO ONE except the rich will ever be able to retire.

Buy hey. If we had D(iversified)EI we would have been fine.

Oh fuck off. You were still posting gross shit about Dems and Biden until the election. You’re a fucking fraud

I don’t think Biden was a good president at all and the don’t believe your lyin eyes approach of his administration drove me crazy.

Biden never should have run for re-election. I strongly disagreed with how his resignation played out and Kamala as a candidate. Isn’t it fair to say I’ve been pretty vindicated on those positions? Unless all you care about is identity politics she was a terrible candidate.

Republicans have lost the plot in a way we probably have never seen in our country’s 400+ year history. We desperately need the Democratic Party to get its act together or we are completely f’ed. At this point it’s not even a left-right thing.
 
You carried water for the Republicans the entire time you were here, and continue to do so. You helped create this mess along with the love of your life, Susan Collins. Republicans haven't lost the plot. This IS THE PLOT. This is what they voted for and this is exactly what they wanted. Anyone who says otherwise is either delusional or stupid.,

No, you're still a fucking moron.

What Scooby said.
 
I blocked him so to me it looks like you are arguing with air. (which...I guess you are)

Is Trump having a PC with Bibi today? My guess is if he sabre rattles a war with Iran then the markets aren't the only bad news out there.
 
I just wanted to remind everyone how its only a piece of paper again. No one is defending it. Not Congress, not the Courts, not the police, not the military. No one. We truly are living in a total and complete autocracy.

Not even the media is defending it. We have no 4th estate anymore.
 
To the surprise of no one, the real reasons behind his stupid tariff war.


It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Interior Secretary Doug Burgum likes chocolate-chip cookies—preferably freshly baked and still warm.

This peculiar fact became the talk of the Department of the Interior in recent weeks after his chief of staff, JoDee Hanson, made an unusual request of the political appointees in his office: Learn to regularly bake cookies for Burgum and his guests, using the industrial ovens at the department headquarters.

That request was not the only move by his team that has alarmed some Interior officials. Four people familiar with Burgum’s leadership, who requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly, told The Atlantic that Burgum was focused on his status as the leader of a minor Cabinet department and that those who ran his office repeatedly made unusual demands to his employees. His office leadership once instructed political appointees to act as servers for a multicourse meal. They also dispatched a U.S. Park Police helicopter for his personal transportation. On at least one occasion, a political appointee was told to remake the cookies because the batch was subpar, according to three people.

Just a hell of an organization they got there.
