WTAF? HTF was this not EMBLAZONED as the top headline by the mainstream media. Trump-tards thing a few Teslas being set on fire is extreme, I can only imagine the reaction to this having come to fruition. But FCOL how could the media not have reported on this? SMH www.huffpost.com/entry/social...

Of all the things to be disturbed about by the Trumptard-in-chief's actions, two top my list. First, efforts to weaken Social Security. Just this past week I nailed down early retirement benefits to start in August, but that could be ephemeral. Second the DEI nonsense erasing minorities/women.

It's too bad that some countries that border Israel don't have the capability of instantly obliterating the lives of 100s of Israelis. Not that I want that to happen. It's because I want Israel to stop acting with impunity. #israel #genocide

I got such a confusing and contradictory letter regarding SS retirement benefits, if this was pre-DOGE as I believe it was, there's one opportunity right there to ACTUALLY make things less confusing, more clear, and more efficient, with no need for a chainsaw. #doge #retirement #socialsecurity

If the Democrats vote as a single block against the government funding bill, how are THEY responsible for the Republican MAJORITY not having the same discipline, i.e. NOT voting as a single block? The blame then actually falls on the rogue Republicans voting against the bill #shutdown

I have won this way DOZENS of times since adopting the Modern Steinitz about 15 years ago. I especially like it when they follow on with 12.Bxc4 bxc4 13.Qxc4 Nf6 14.0-0?? Bb5 #chess #chess-openings lichess.org/wG7VMwOB#22

So let me understand this. A sole developer faces 10 years in prison for planting malicious code, but what about the utter incompetence of having a system in place where a sole developer can make changes to production code unsupervised? What happened to them? arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

If there's fraud in Social Security, you specifically go after the fraud, which will entail temporarily hiring more staff to do so, which is a good investment because they should recoup far more than their salaries. What you don't do is fire everybody so that Social Security entirely fails. Idiot.

When you know more than a highly respected former Democratic cabinet member. Just saying, the roots of this nonsense go back SO MUCH FURTHER than we've been led to believe
