My family and I are getting library cards for the books and videos we used to buy or stream from Amazon. I cancelled Insta last week. Cancelled FB year ago. Cancelled X a few months ago. Friends are moving off WharsApp. Tesla purchases no longer being considered. Step by anti-fascist step…

If there were any election shenanigans or hacking, they’re locked in a grip of mutually assured destruction if either one tries to let go of the other

This is who we gave so many tax dollars to? SMDH

The temperature range is very specific—too cold, e.g., ice, and you get vasoconstriction. The cooling only transmits through the circulatory system as long as the blood vessels remain sufficiently dilated.

Right? Like what can compete with dollar store Blofeld, ketamine Clyde and yahoo Yarvin wanting to turn the rest of us into biodiesel? (Ok, maybe Soylent Green.) Even in their evil and power, they are boring simulacra, however, utterly derivative and lacking imagination and charm.

The guy who cheats golf, wives, charities, businesses, banks, contractors, life; the guy who needed to win* to stay out of jail; that guy ran this election clean? What are the odds?

Check out all the symbolism on the doge logo. Yet we’re left asking if we’re imaging things, even after he throws the salute.

They had two swings at easy pitches and laid down their bats. Cowards.

Not quibbling, just wondering what they could they have on him that would even shock us? How does what they have, have any value? The guy is Teflon.

The first lawsuit filed re the recent DC plane-helicopter collision is for $250 million. Seems more expensive than fully staffing the FAA. While the dogie bros brag about “savings”, they’re ignoring the cost and risk. Not paying my rent is a cost-savings initially, albeit with a big future cost.

Or too stupid or careless to know that a database record can be kept around after a person dies and marked as ‘Deceased—Do Not Pay’. The SS database probably includes anyone who was ever issued a Social Security number, of which current recipients are a subset. No reason to delete the entire record

What’s the cost of all these “savings” in death, destruction, lawsuits, market value, reputation, lost opportunities, markets, jobs, taxes and consumer spending, and more? Not to mention what we’re paying him and his dogies for the messes they’re making.

There’s a Katie Miller on the dogey team. Same one?

Journalists and lawyers need to be investigating from where he gets his paycheck, mandate, and oversight. Who’s his actual boss? What’s the org chart?

Many cast a vote as though it’s a momentary thing. Quick dopamine rush sticking it to the libs, without thinking of the long-term consequences for themselves, others, generations and the entire world.

Merely having a record in the SS database also does not mean the person is receiving payments. SS has a record on everyone paying in during their working years, otherwise how would they determine eligibility? After death, the record remains in the database, but payment is turned off.

They don’t know the first thing about databases. Record ≠ Payment. You have a record on someone having paid into social security, so you can track once they are eligible. At retirement age, payment starts. Once the person dies, the record remains in the db, but a switch is set to non-payment.

Gah—need an edit option. *Who in the federal government hired and onboarded them?

It’s the DIE part of their plan.

Yeah, so let’s start by examining the doge payroll. Who are these guys working for? Us? A private contractor? Who I. The federal government hired and on parsed them? Are they getting government payroll checks? How much are we (or whoever) paying them?

Someone qualified would have a medical degree, the network of contacts built up over a lifetime, the latest science at their fingertips, and an understanding of the protocols, procedures and measures to put into place. This guy got nada.

I’m still wondering what the big secret was that Trump said he had with MAGA Mike and if it explains this supine posturing.

Who hired him? To what position? What’s the job description? Who is issuing his paycheck? Ditto for the dogey boys.

Follow the money. Are they getting a paycheck? From which entity? Where’s the budget line item for this “department*” and who is paying for its staff, equipment, offices, services etc.?

This is the way to do it. When they were claiming hundreds of thousands were being bussed in to vote illegally, I calculated the number of buses. Where to source them, who to drive them, where to park them, where to fuel them… Like nobody saw these thousands of buses pull
up in New Hampshire?

I’m petty enough to be glad the Kentucky devil is forced to watch what his handiwork has wrought.
