Nation building in Gaza

That will be fun

Some believe that applying tariffs is the perogative of the US congress and that Canada and Mexico would likely challenge this in US courts and quite possibly win.

China responds with heavy tariffs on US goods.

Electing an imbecile for POTUS is a clear sign of a dying and dead empire. He’s certifiable crazy.

I do not trust Donald Trump, but I do have faith in him.

...It's...a start.

We have finally moved to appoint a fentanyl czar. In my own way, I guess that's exactly what I didn't want but the older I get, the more I know why we need that. All these kids out here snorting what basically amounts to an 8-ball are dropping like flies and it breaks my fucking heart.

Thanks Corn.

Except for the concern for sensitive personal information, there is also concern that Musk's minions may be accessing federal contracts with companies in the car, tech and space industry that are competitors to Musk, and that these contracts may contain classified information about those companies.

Yeah that would definitely be concerning. Good point. I think the bloodbath is probably going to spill over into the courts in some instances, and I think Trump expects and is prepared for it.

I'm sure a lot of the data 'acquired' is already downloaded and off-site. It's a data breach, clear and simple, but unauthorized users.

As for trump being prepared? I'm guessing neither he nor his cabinet really understand or care what is happening. As long as there's chaos, he's happy. The new distraction of taking over Gaza helps hide musk's interference. When his AG is a low level judge who trump bribed* to drop the case into his 'university', you know he's not 'prepared'.

I was thinking more about his supposed presidential perogative to fire government employees and even to shut down agencies like US AID. I have read speculation as to what his legal strategy might be for those legal challenges to come. Yeah the chaos hellstorm is very disorienting to me. I can hardly imagine four years like this.

[Cornuck]

Yes, the coming years will be a shitshow do doubt. For the most part, I've already given up. Watching the media try to 'catch its tail' by following every distraction is a joke. My only hope is that at end of this, he hasn't dragged Canada down with him.

It's a game of whack a mole

Hmmm... a "crazy imbecile" you say.

Interesting.

Dude, I had no idea you felt this way about Donald John Trump.

[Meds]

Electing an imbecile for POTUS is a clear sign of a dying and dead empire. He’s certifiable crazy.

So then Electing two in a row means what?

As bad as he is, CBS, on pain of law suits, released the unedited interview with Harris. I may want to listen to mouthman ray instead.

The United States Postal Service announced Tuesday night that it is temporarily suspending accepting packages sent from China and Hong Kong until further notice.

The suspension is effective immediately, the USPS said. Letters and flats are not included in the suspension, it said.

The postal service did not provide a reason for the suspension or say how long it expects the suspension to last.

More bullshit..... fuck these people. Just making it up as they go along.

Elon Musk and the U.S. Department of Transportation will "remake" U.S. airspace, Transportation secretary Sean Duffy said at an event on Wednesday.

So the same team that blows up rockets will be in charge of passenger safety?

A Reagan level shakeup?

DOGE now has access to Medicare and Medicaid systems. More violations of privacy laws but Congress probably still doesn't care.

Can't wait for DOGE to start looking at Department of Defense spending.
