The Trump Presidency 2.0

Air Force amn/nco/snco | ’Twas the Week of the Furlough | Facebook

’Twas the Week of the Furlough
’Twas the week of the furlough, and all through the Force,
Not a creature was flying, not even in course.
The tankers were parked on the ramp with care,
In hopes that a budget soon would be there.
The foosball was silent, the pickleball too,
No laughter or banter, no lunchtime crew.
The halls were all quiet, the lights running low,
As Airmen and civvies were told they must go.
The mission-essential stayed snug in their roles,
Still working the mission, achieving the goals.
With duty-bound crews still holding the fort,
While the rest of the team gave a full duty report…
…To Netflix, to Costco, or maybe just rest,
On a “paid vacation” (though not how they’d guessed).
No leave form was needed, no PTO burned,
Just thanks to Congress — the paycheck was earned.
Then out on the flightline, there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my desk to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Hoping it wasn’t more budget whiplash.
The sun on the wings of the KC-135,
Gave a glimmer of hope to the base still alive.
But no jets were spinning, no boom was in air,
Just tumbleweeds rolling through cold autumn air.
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But an Airman in civvies with no hint of fear.
He shouted with humor, quite loud and quite slick,
“This furlough’s a joke — and Congress? Real quick!”
More sluggish than molasses the updates they came, And we whistled and waited and called them by name:
“Now Budget! Now Funding! Now, CR Extension!
On Shutdown! On Gridlock! On Political Tension!”
“To the top of the dome! To the Hill’s highest wall!
Now fund away! Fund away! Fund us all!”
As dry leaves that before a wild hurricane fly,
When met with a furlough, morale’s running dry.
So back to our couches the techs they all flew,
With civilians laughing, “Guess we’re off too!”
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on my phone,
The buzz of a text in a frustrated tone.
As I drew up a meme and was turning around,
Down came the email with barely a sound.
It spoke not a word but went straight to its task,
“Keep working, dear Airmen — that’s all that we ask.”
And laying a finger aside of my mouse,
I sighed and looked out at the near-empty house.
But I heard them exclaim, as they logged out of sight,
“Happy furlough to all — stay mission-ready, and bright!”

Brought to you courtesy of the USG shutdown of 2025.
Remember folks, if you are producing something related to work, it's work!
Well done, USAF. Not flying, not fighting, but still winning.

I asked my leadership how the furloughs will affect our deadlines and deliverables. They looked at me like a monkey with a calculus book.
"It won't. You aren't furloughed."
"No, but the people we work with are, and clearing their backlog won't be a 1:1 ratio in days OOO."
(Annoyingly) Nah, this is nothing. You're focused on the wrong things."

Nothing is too good for the American people, right, @Box?
 
So, the Judicial branch now gets to tell Trump (the commander of the armed forces) that he can nationalize but not deploy military troops?

Get ready for an exciting weekend, folks.

The dems didn't want a resolution to the CR, they want the No Kings protest to be as visible as possible with as much drama surrounding it as possible. They don't want LEO presence, they want chaos, and this weekend, you'll get it.

At least it's the last one for protest season, latte liberals don't protest when it's chilly.
 
Have y'all been seeing the New York city stuff. I can't believe the polling. I have two friends in NYC and I'm pretty sure they're voting for Mamdani. I can't wait for him to defund the police in NYC too.

And then, a detective named Gordon will arise chasing a trail of a masked vigilante...

Here's hoping he receives jail time instead of a fine and probation.

Also, are Discord and Signal out for exchanging classified info? Asking for a friend.

Love the way the media is placing an emphasis on how "Trump is just going after his political enemies." Meh..maybe so, but if what his political enemy has done is a crime then I'm down with it. I voted for Trump three times, never believed most of the bullshit he was accused of, but always said that if he was guilty of crimes that place the country in danger, he should pay the piper.
 
I just love how the political party that has fabricated evidence and used it to attack their political enemies using the DOJ, the Intelligence community, and even the IRS - is now upset because their felonious, law breaking, backstabbing, embezzling, seditious, heavy handed, shit fisted, lying, cheating, left wing democrats and neocon fuck buddies are somehow "not above the law"
...fuck that - I salt my fucking bacon with the tears of left wing democrats

President Trump could fuck a snake and I'll defend him for now - as long as he is punishing enemies of the state.
...sometimes you gotta walk with the devil until you get across the bridge.

Drop 50, fire for effect Mr President...
...I've got you covered !!

NYC's election of Mamdani is a problem that will solve itself. The only real problem I see with it will be all the economic refugees moving down here.

Socialism's great until you run out of other people's money to spend (paraphrased and said by some guy I can't remember).

Good. Maybe all the idiots crossing into Canada will go back to NY.
