Trump Broke the Federal Email System and Government Employees Got Blasted With Astonishingly Vulgar Messages

Reply All Turns out that putting a bunch of teenagers in charge of the federal government's HR agency wasn't the smartest move. Late last night, a recently unearthed exploitation in the Office of Personnel Management's new DIY email server reportedly leaked several email lists to the public. As...

next to last paragraph is very interesting:

All this server drama is important, as it's reportedly key in DOGE's goal of gathering information on every government employee. Tuesday's much-reported "fork in the road" email memos came from this unsecured server, which unintentionally revealed the involvement of two non-government individuals, both heavily involved in Project 2025.

Well, yes, but that would require the WH Press Corp to be more than stenographers. They just don't know how to do their jobs. And the news is just completely papering over the constitutional crisis unfolding before our very eyes.

In the presser trump gave about the air collision.. trump blamed DEI and a reporter asked him what evidence do you have that DEI was a factor.

TBH I was pretty impressed. Respectful and to the point
 
TWO more plane crashes.

I wonder, will Donald dodge the next bullet?
Because seeing the news, no way the freedom loving people that hate tyrant will keep their guns that they own just for this moment collecting dust in the closet, right?

Observing how long this will continue.

Decision to dump water from Tulare County lakes altered after sending locals into a mad scramble – SJV Water

Water managers were relieved Thursday evening after the Army Corps of Engineers agreed to back off of a sudden decision earlier in the day to dump massive amounts of water from Kaweah and Success lakes.

Water managers said they got about an hour’s warning from the Army Corp’s Sacramento office to expect the Tule and Kaweah rivers to be at “channel capacity” by Thursday night.

I guess this is what Trump meant when he was talking about turning the water back on in California. Except this was nowhere near the fires, and basically just dumping water that would have been needed later in the year for agriculture and whatnot. The Army Corps of Engineers is staffed by idiots, but it really just goes right up to the top. Really being lead around by the dumbest fucking assholes.

Here's an eval of Trump which is to my taste. It takes no prisoners. This is heavy duty and I recommend reading it entirely:

www.theguardian.com

The tragic air collision revealed Trump’s rancid, irredeemable character once again | Sidney Blumenthal

Trump’s pretense as king has quickly devolved into his strutting insult routine. He will always exploit tragedy to display his self-regard
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Edit: William Blake died in 1827 but it appears he had such as Donald Trump in mind when he penned the following in his masterpiece, The Marriage of Heaven and Hell.

“As the air to a bird, or the sea to a fish, so is contempt to the contemptible”

Wonder what the results of this will be for the red states that aren't part of this and will not be getting federal funds back, people will be harmed immensely, also in related news in regards to the water being wasted in California

Fred Wellman (@fpwellman.bsky.social)

Rumors are local Republicans are panicked over this screwing of their constituents. Nothing but chaos meddling in local water management from the White House. If they had gone forward with the plan it would have flooded local towns and fields while draining water needed this summer. For a stunt!

It may not matter. Trump is maximizing water deliveries now when they don’t need the water. Shared link good for 14 days.

Trump Officials Release Water in California That Experts Say Will Serve Little Use

Local officials and experts said the water the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began sending downstream on Friday could have been helpful to farmers later this year. President Trump, in an apparent reference to the move, called it a “victory.”

Americans decided that the shit sandwich Trump had to offer was in fact a Las Vegas casino all you can eat buffet. I'm not sure any kind of campaigning can really counter the fact that millions of Americans simply decided to delude themselves.

Now they have to eat the sandwich and if they are angry about it they can take it up with the manager.

That's my attitude about it at this point. Let everyone eat ass for a few months or years, maybe instill some fear in them and give them an opportunity to see why you elect people that aren't fucking stupid instead of the one that promises to break the govt and somehow hurt other people more than you.

As long as you're smarter than the dumbest of the dumb shits, they'll be taking the brunt of it, so let them feel it and help them up once they finally realize they've fallen down.

Did you miss the part where those condoms we’re going to Gaza Province, MOZAMBIQUE???

You literally can’t make this shit up…

The US spent millions on STD prevention in Gaza. But it was a province in Mozambique

One of today's letters to the editor in my local paper included the condoms to Gaza claim. 😛

Democrat Kris Mayes has no clue on the waste that Biden did and that is why President Trump stopped the Federal grants. One of the Federal Grants was for 50 million dollars to fund condoms for Gaza. Do you want your tax dollars to fund condoms for Gaza? I sure do not.

A yearlong outbreak of tuberculosis in the Kansas City, Kansas area has taken local experts aback, even if it does not appear to be the largest outbreak of the disease in U.S. history as a state health official claimed last week.
