The cutting of fat is long overdue.
Getting rid of experience and insights that could be useful in crisis situations is not cutting fat, it's cutting your nose off to spite your own face.

Another way to say it might be...Getting rid of experience and insights that could be useful in crisis situations is not cutting fat, it's cutting your nose off to spit your face.
She's totally objective...and brilliant."remember how it was suggested this might lead to the administration putting “loyalty tests” in place and hiring only people who were politically loyal instead of actually qualified and competent"
I'm not sure what you are talking about. Is this about Ketanji Brown Jackson being appointed to the SC?
Meh.Getting rid of experience and insights that could be useful in crisis situations is not cutting fat, it's cutting your nose off to spite your own face.
? Yes, I believe WIC/Snap/etc will be paused at 5pm today.
I'm impressed you read all 900+ pages.And how a major part of it was changing federal employees to schedule F so that the President could hire/fire them? And then remember how it was suggested this might lead to the administration putting “loyalty tests” in place and hiring only people who were politically loyal instead of actually qualified and competent? Then ya’ll remember how Trump said he didn’t endorse project 2025, and ya’ll said that people were being ridiculous and it would never happen?
Well… If this ain’t Fascism I don’t know what is.

Trump is more popular than hes ever been. Keep crying.Trump's first week in office is a big hit around the world. This is from a Berlin newspaper
But what about tomorrow?Trump is more popular than hes ever been. Keep crying.
Remember you told everybody on every network and yelled it loud enough that everybody heard you? They then voted for Orangeman in record numbers giving him a clean sweep and a mandate to do it...lolAnd how a major part of it was changing federal employees to schedule F so that the President could hire/fire them?

Honest guy. He may or may not be wrong. But, at least he'll give you an honest answer.Un-fvckingbelievable that these types of people will be lording over us and this guy might be the worst of all...the architect of Project 2025

Considering WIC isn't given directly to individuals, it's given to states who then dole it out, it's a walkback, my guy.I think the public backlash will be so severe he'll end up walking it back and not have it apply to WIC/SNAP/school lunches/etc.
Bruh, she is literally THE most qualified of all of the supreme court appointees. Look at her qualifications compared to Amy Coney Barrett"remember how it was suggested this might lead to the administration putting “loyalty tests” in place and hiring only people who were politically loyal instead of actually qualified and competent"

What do you mean "may?" His answer should be disqualifying - full stop. Enough with this anti-truth nonsense in order to appease one man.Honest guy. He may or may not be wrong. But, at least he'll give you an honest answer.
Step 7: Suppression of Speech OnlineFIFY
Step 1: Russiagate
Step 2: Impeachments
Step 3: Covid Origins
Step 4: Laptop
Step 5: Open Borders
Step 6: Nordstream Pipeline
And so forth and so on
You don't wanna go down the "we tell the truth" road do ya?What do you mean "may?" His answer should be disqualifying - full stop. Enough with this anti-truth nonsense in order to appease one man.
No, I don't want to whatabout the Big Lie that has been thoroughly investigated for four years now without a single shred of evidence to support the false allegations that the election was rigged. And that means any cabinet nominee that believes Biden's election was the result of fraud, with no proof, isn't fit to hold that office.You don't wanna go down the "we tell the truth" road do ya?
And just like that the whole order has been rescinded.Considering WIC isn't given directly to individuals, it's given to states who then dole it out, it's a walkback, my guy.
Good call.I think the public backlash will be so severe he'll end up walking it back and not have it apply to WIC/SNAP/school lunches/etc. I just don't understand the rationale behind cutting programs that help the poorest/youngest in our nation, by the "pro-life party" nonetheless, but then again that's what happens when your country is run by billionaires and grifters.
Call it whatever you want, his approval rating is sky high at the moment, so the people agree with what he is doing.Great summary here on how Trump's first week in office reflects the goals of Project 2025, that he knows nothing about.
January 28, 2025
During the 2024 presidential campaign, Trump distanced himself from Project 2025, a plan for a second Trump term prepared by a number of right-wing institutions led by the Heritage Foundation.heathercoxrichardson.substack.com
HmmCall it whatever you want, his approval rating is sky high at the moment, so the people agree with what he is doing.
We can revisit in a few weeks and see if anything changes.
Oh 538?Hmm

Check the 2nd one Reuters/Ipsos pollOh 538?
What was his election prediction again?
"Trump's initial net approval rating of +7 percentage points is lower than that of any newly elected president since World War II, with one exception: Trump himself during his first term. Trump began his presidency in 2017 with a 44.6 percent approval rating and a 41.4 percent disapproval rating, based on applying our current averaging methodology retroactively."
He is Sky high compared to recent approval ratings for any president.Check the 2nd one Reuters/Ipsos poll
45% Approve
46% Disapprove
Guess we have different definitions of sky high
Derp, Trump's approval rating when he left office in 2021 was 34%.He is Sky high compared to recent approval ratings for any president.
Biden was 35% or so when exiting (which was being generous because it should have been 0%. He wasn't in charge).
538 did a horrible job on the election. He even admitted as much.
It was rigged. Nothing new. This election only further showed it.Un-fvckingbelievable that these types of people will be lording over us and this guy might be the worst of all...the architect of Project 2025

What an embarrassing take, just shameful.It was rigged. Nothing new. This election only further showed it.
Moving on.
I’m sure you think nothing of the missing voters.What an embarrassing take, just shameful.
How about this - I'll bet $25,000 if you can prove the election was rigged and I'll give you a week to gather the evidence. If you fail, you owe me. We know both of us will honor our word so what do you say?I’m sure you think nothing of the missing voters.
It doesn’t matter, though… America saw it and moved ahead.
Wasn't making a prediction? What were they doing? Counting goats? Of course they were making predictions. Very poorly by his own admission.Derp, Trump's approval rating when he left office in 2021 was 34%.
538 wasn't making a prediction, it was an average of 11 current approval polls.
Define "Rigged" so that we may further consider this bet.How about this - I'll bet $25,000 if you can prove the election was rigged and I'll give you a week to gather the evidence. If you fail, you owe me. We know both of us will honor our word so what do you say?
Trump losing was good for you. Trump winning was good for you. Are you starting to see a trend?Stolen Elections have consequences.

I'm actually thankful - really, honest to God - that the Democrats stole the 2020 election.The Trump we are getting now, in 2025, is leaps and bounds better than what we would have gotten in 2021.The Pence-to-Vance upgrade is huge on its own. Totally worth it just there.But now that Trump had an election stolen from him, was unjustly persecuted and prosecuted, and survived their attempt to kill him...He's unbound. Not messing around. Plus the best people in the MAGA wing of the party had four years to plan this onslaught of Executive Orders and what's going to come. The NeoCons have been crushed. America First is in control. The Democrats made a massive mistake by rigging the 2020 election against him. Little did they know...God really writes the best stories. We had to suffer for four years under the puppet Biden regime. But now...now we get this.And it's incredible.
Dude, an approval poll is NOT a predictionWasn't making a prediction? What were they doing? Counting goats? Of course they were making predictions. Very poorly by his own admission.
