Try reposting the links without spelling Trump the way you did here.

Yes. I mentioned on here before about how the last Civil War pension paid out in 2020. Men can sire children up until the day they die and for some their social security disability is tied to their parents' social security number. This is why one cannot use computer programs and AI to find "waste" and "fraud" in government especially when operating at warp speed. It takes time to fully understand each aspect of how a particular department runs and then more time to comb the records to find actual cases of fraud.

I can believe a lot of this. Russians bugging hotel rooms is known as well as them using WiFi to spy on people. Donald may not drink, but is completely capable of falling into a honeypot. Honestly, the honeypot is designed to catch men like him.

Only the Bud Light they bought with their own money. I will never get over buying a bunch of stuff to just destroy it on camera to own the libs.

My mother will do it to talk to our next door neighbor and his sister who lives on the next street over. But, the ad team behind these commercials is thinking about my mother when they come up with these commercials, they just have not met her.

They would still object to their precious tax dollars going towards that Bud Light. Either because it's alcohol or because it's a "woke" Bud Light. I can't remember if the Right is still boycotting Budweiser or if they forgot the short-lived Bud Light-Dylan Mulvaney partnership back in 2023.

She did what she was appointed to do--vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade and be a 3 name woman to replace RBG. Trump really was not thinking beyond. Nor could he really, since she was nominated and confirmed less than 2 months before the 2020 election.

I can see ACB doing what is right for her, and protecting the Constitution is currently that. She's got a lifetime gig, she is going to weigh keeping that gig relevant versus siding with a 78 year-old man who's not going to be president come January 20, 2029. I think this might change if some of her colleagues like Thomas or Alito decide to retire and Trump replaces them with partisans. But for now, she is going to vote to protect her interests.

A writer I follow on BlueSky posted this morning talking about how her mother died on 2/18 and Social Security has already reached out to her father about him having to pay back the February payment her mother received.

I don't think any adult living in American in 2025 has been shielded from these groups. More like people are being willfully ignorant about their neighbors' political beliefs. Which I do get to some extent because I have to do it at my job.

I watched a video of the parade on repeat yesterday and read some comments on the NOLA subreddit. One of the cybertrucks suffered a broken window, guess that glass is not as indestructible as Elon said if it cannot stand up to people throwing cheap plastic beads at it.

Brady nixed the idea that Tate and Sophia must get married pretty early on before disappearing from this whole story altogether. The show also has dropped Sophia being obsessed with Tate. That went out the window when Tate called Sophia Holly in bed. She's not looking to saddle herself to Tate after that and rightfully so.

Yeah, that Google executive was talking about a person working for 60 hours a week but only getting paid for 40 hours. And it is a way for them to get the same "productivity" out of few workers and save the company the salary and benefits package for what would be the "extra" employees.

That or it was a recipe in a magazine back in the 50s or 60s.

I'll be honest and say that I don't think the people who came up with this protest truly thought the whole thing through. I get wanting to hurt retailers for how they have caved to Trump, but a one-day no-buy is not it. For a protest like this to work, it needs to be a week minimum. You also have to look at a calendar to see which week would be feasible for the vast majority of people and would hurt the retailers the most. The absolute worst time for people to not buy anything is from the last day of a month to the 3rd of the next month. This is when people who only get paid monthly get paid, and when people who receive government assistance get paid. Those assistance checks barely cover the necessities. The goal is to hurt retailers not hurt poor people. A week long protest of Walmart, Amazon, Target, etc. from the 16th-22nd of a month would have a greater impact than a one-day on the final day of the month.

Plus any other maintenance medication older people start to take on a daily basis. Working in pharmacy taught me that just about every prescription medication carries the side effects of constipation and diarrhea. Which one you get depends on your body, and a lucky few get both. Also, most Americans do not get nearly enough fiber in their diet.

I know on Facebook you can set it up so you don't see someone's post without unfriending them, can you do the same on Insta? That way you don't have to see their posts while the other person still thinks you are good. And the algorithm is so bad that you can very easily say "whoops I must have missed your post" on the ones that are important. Or is Insta like old Twitter where you can block certain words like "hot, hotter, and hottest?"

Now I am wondering (not enough to actually research this BTW) whether the person who quit did so because Bobby Jr. did not go far enough and strongly encourage vaccinations without any caveat or if the person quit because how dare Bobby Jr. even suggest people get vaccines? With the clusterfuck that is HHS with Bobby Jr. at the head, it could really go either way.

I have absolutely zero desire to watch him speak let alone watching an event where the room continues to break out in thunderous applause every 3 minutes for whatever lie Trump spews.

We also judge the employees harsher than the business owners who are paying poverty wages. Many of the so-called handouts poor people receive like Section 8 or Medicaid or SNAP truly are corporate welfare. Because if those programs do not exist then the Walmarts of the world would have to increase wages to keep employees or risk closing their doors forever.

Yes we have. The Civil War comes to mind. And if we want to get technical, the White House has been attacked by a foreign enemy before. The British did attempt to burn it down during the Wat of 1812. The exterior survived while the interior had to be rebuilt.

The only saving grace is Vance lacks the charisma of Trump. He does not have it in him to sustain MAGA and get the rest of the party to fall in line.

Hes also bound and determined to executive order away the existence of trans people. And apparently he's signing another executive order to make English the official language of the US. Something that has never been done in the 248 year history of the country for multiple reasons. Also something that is not going to lower the cost of groceries or housing.

The last few times I have stayed in a hotel, I have paid at check in and not at checkout or at least ran the credit card but charged me upon checkout. And now hotels have your email address and send the bill electronically. I rarely ever checkout at the desk with a person. I just leave and drop the key cards in the box on my way out. I have also never had a clerk blurt out the total cost at a volume where another guest could hear. In my experience, they are trained to not do exactly that since the rate does differ based on where and when you booked plus your status with the chain or with whatever credit card you may be using. The last thing any hotel manager wants is for another guest to overhear someone getting a room for "free" or $30 because of points.

And then you have to add the cost of equipping a kitchen. I know someone on here yesterday talked about not having a microwave, but there's also pots, pans, slow cooker, colanders, knives, spoons, etc. which can cost a couple hundred dollars in total. People who can barely afford the electric bill don't have a spare $20 to buy a crock pot nor do they have the money to drive around to thrift stores and yard sales to find these things.
