Trump's Second Term

I stilll maintain Trump is wearing a Tribble.

Plus, as incompetent as Trump is, I don't think this could be blamed on him. It seems like the type of legitimate weapons research that would probably be done under any administration. And while some of the staffing cuts done under the name of "saving money" were foolish, this particular incident doesn't seem to be related to budget cuts.

As much as I hate trump, I have to agree. This the knid of F--- Up you get within any military from time to time. But it certainly be investigated, the people responsilbe given a quick ticket out, and the famalies compensated.
And a lot of military activites,inclusing training, are inherently dangerous and you can never change that.

I wish he could see the irony

 

[dudalb]

Trump has no sense of Irony whatsoever.
The man is incredibly ignorant and incredibly crude.
And I get a sick feeeling that is what makes him popular with the MAGAs. They have a Potus who is as igronrant and cruse as they are.

 

[dudalb]

Trump tweets are getting more and more wacky by the day.

 

[dudalb]

The last years have made me a devout beleiver in terms limits for Congress. If people in congress know they are only goint to be there for a few years, and cannot depend on making a lifetime career of elected office, they might actually be more concerned with doing what is right then in doing what will keep them getting reelected.

Donald is getting round POTUS ruling on birthright citizenship by signing an EO that says they sre all

"Alien enemies of the United States, members of foreign terrorist organizations and large categories of people who lobby and act on behalf of foreign governments,"

"This ensures that large numbers of people who wrongly would be getting birthright citizenship will NO LONGER be eligible for those benefits."

Then, JFK kneed Trump right in the nuts.

I am still shocked people here are making such a big deal of Trump's stupid Birthrigh citizens rants, while ignoring the matrydom of Fauci. The US Government had now declared war on science based Medicine. Wake up, people.

Nobody is more aware of that than us. My long-tine mantra on the RFK Jr thread has been "THEY ARE TRYING TO KILL YOUR KIDS", something that has been crystal clear since the wrinkled nutbag was appointed as Health Secretary.

I Venezuela getting paid for the oil? Or is the US simply stealing it outright?

 

[Trebuchet]

Frankly, I think the Fauci conviction is much worse news then Trump's latest rant on birthright citizenship.

He's not even been charged with anything, let alone convicted.

 

[dudalb]

He's not even been charged with anything, let alone convicted.

He is sure as hell is being persecuted, though.
I hope next time he leaves a hearing he mutters outloud "Never The Less, It Moves".

They get free protection by the US against aggression from the US.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

Birthright is way more important than Fauci.
If you have to pick a battle (which I don't), pick the first

It is not just that they spouted all that pseudo-science, but they destroyed the reputation of congressional hearings. These are no longer fact finding, but political theatre. The US has learned nothing since the days of 'un-American activities'. It is not hard to imagine them summoning Darwin whilst they attack the idea that any species could have naturally evolved.

But humiliating as this is for the US only fauci directly suffers. To address birthright citizenship the Trump regime will have to designate large numbers of people foreign agents, terrorists, alien enemies*

*And that could be a literal (extrajudicial) death sentence.

This is excellent propaganda for Iran. The US and UK overthrew a democratically elected Iranian government in the past and installed a dictator to maintain control of Iran's oil. Trump has previously said if anyone should profit from control of the strait of Hormuz it should be the US. Who would believe he wouldn't want to take the profits of Iran's oil.

The only thing keeping Cuba safe is their lack of oil.

 

[The Great Zaganza]

To be fair, hearings where never about fact finding.

Either Scott needs to start back in kindergarten or he's a kept man for crypto scammers.

Or both.

My guess, production has ground to a complete halt.

Before he went in, maximum capacity in Venezuela was heavily degraded and will take decades to fix, as the whole infrastructure has to be rebuilt.

I recall there was that famous case of quintuplets in Canada back in the '30s. But 56 is really a whole different scale. 98 even moreso. You're sure this was a human and not perhaps an insect wearing a false moustache?

You don't understand, muslims are built differently. Or so I'm told by the far right here, who have calculated that Sweden will be a muslim country very soon, which must mean that they give birth to quintuplets every year. (And that none of them ever become Westernised.)
