The Trump Presidency 2.0

[RackMaster]

I understand the frustration with the hiring freeze. We're under one up here and the wife's department let to many transfer out and now they're filling 24 hour shifts for other jobs. The difference is our government isn't doing anything to find waste and reallocate funds where it's needed. I think both of our governments for the past few years have gone spend crazy on bullshit and let critical areas get near failure.
It seems like all you need to do is tag Musk on X with major issues and he'll bring it to Trump. Maybe some of you need to utilize whistleblower protections and start spamming X.

I'm not a Democrat or Republican.

The fact that the cunt pigs couldn't even stand for a kid that beat cancer displays the absolute hatred they have in Trump, in fact, I dare say, anything wholesome.

God will judge each and every one of us, especially those hoodlums that refused to honor a kid that beat cancer, all because, orange man bad.

The best part about Trump's speech was his calling them out on this.

The best part about Trump's speech was his calling them out on this.

Remember in 8 Mile where B. Rabbit opened his final freestyle by painting Papa Doc (who later went on to be a PJ and then Captain America, blessup) into a corner by making fun of himself, breaking the 4th wall and telling the audience he couldn't actually rap if he didn't have anything to say about Rabbit? And Papa Doc froze? "Everybody from the land of the free, put your hands up and follow me! Notice while these dems sit tough, notice not one had their hand up!"

That's what the president did. He painted the Dems into a corner by telling America "they won't stand for anything good I do because they hate me, and by extension, they hate YOU."

Then, he paraded objectively good things time and time again- and when that camera had the faces of democrats sneering at cancer survivors and grieving mothers, the American public could see who these people are.

My feelings on the SOTU aren't changed, it's all a show- but this was the Trump show.

"Fuck this speech, I'm outtie... now take to CNN and complain to 23% of the country about me."

I binge watched "Loot" on appleTV because I knew the only parts that I'd care about would be turned into weeklong memes within 24 hours of airing...
...I have not been disappointed

How does a hiring freeze bolster readiness?

No idea, but when we went to the Readiness model in 2017 (whatever that is) in the Army as I was leaving active service, readiness went down.

This... this is a masterpiece. It's as if someone put together the best snark, satire, and pop fiction references of Box and AWP, took out the Nickleback, and produced... this.

So this is now fully confirmed: Hegseth halts US offensive cyberoperations against Russia

I read a story just this morning saying the opposite. Let me see if I can find it.

[Chopstick]

If the Democratic Party had a face. Oh...wait....

 

[Marauder06]

So apparently President Trump threatened Hamas again recently?

I mean, I'm all for it. Give back our hostages or our military is going to start doing house calls.

But don't say things like this, unless you mean it.

 

[ThunderHorse]

Yeah so apparently the same day we did a thing about Ukraine we supposedly did a thing with Israel...I had a few friends subtweeting/subposting about that without context.

 

[GOTWA]

I have doubts that we would even acknowledge offensive anything against Russia.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Someone once asked me what I was giving up for Lent. My answer remains the same.

Hope.

I'm going to give my right hand a break, the left hand GF could use a few dates.

Well, this was interesting. New Zealand's high commissioner to the UK got fired over a comment he made about the president of America.

Top New Zealand diplomat fired for what he said about Trump

"President Trump has restored the bust of Churchill to the Oval Office. But do you think he really understands history?," Goff asked Finnish Foreign Minister Elina Valtonen, referencing the bust seen during President Trump's heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

I'll be honest, if that was the extent of the shenanigans I'm not sure that's what I'd consider a fireable offense. But maybe the now-former diplomat had a long-running case of TDS and this was just the last straw.

At the same time though, imagine losing your prestigious and presumably well-paying international-level job simply because you couldn't not insult the leader of your country's most important ally.

...at least the Finnish foreign minister had enough sense to not jump on the anti-Trump bandwagon:

Valtonen seemed uncomfortable with the question, saying she would "limit" herself in her response. Rather than saying anything about Trump, the Finnish official said many of Churchill’s remarks were "timeless."

Hm, imagine that, not going out of your way to insult someone that your country is probably going to need something from real soon.

If Ukraine is short of bodies and they are snatching guys off the street. Send those that meet the draft guidelines home. I don't agree with a blanket removal, lots are legitimate war refugees (women and children, families). But any young single women and men, should be sent home to fight.

Or if a peace agreement can be met, there's no reason to stay. Go rebuild your country.

Except that not how it's worked since WWII. I'm sure there are some one-offs, but if you're granted asylum, you stay. That's the point of granting asylum.
