Thank you, sir, may I have another…?
Jones cast his vote for Trump in the 2024 election because he felt the US needed a “businessman” in office, and because he could not bring himself to vote for Joe Biden. He still has a fondness for the president, he said. But he believes Trump has been too influenced by donors from big tech and the fossil fuel industry.
“His ‘drill, baby, drill’ agenda does a disservice to Americans,” he said. “I know he means well … but if I would have known about a lot of things that he’s done, as far as energy and things like that, I probably wouldn’t have voted for him.”

Trump’s failed energy bill pledge leaves US households struggling: ‘It’s obscene’
A year after then candidate Trump promised to cut energy bills in half, rising costs are pushing many Americans’ household budgets to the brink

Who would have thought that treating employees like the enemy and the mass firing of workers, focusing on firing early career workers, would lead to recruitment problems?
No one extends a recruiting deadline because they are getting the people they want. That's straight up bullshit.
LOL, likes on fb are not expressions of interest in applying.
OPM replaced permanent positions with two year term offers. To get any kind of tenure (rehire preference) under the federal system, employees need three years. Everyone loves job insecurity!

I saw another news story about a protester who was shot by ICE and left partially blinded. He was peacefully protesting with a group. What I found amusing is a lot of MAGAs were replying "I voted for this." Apparently, even peaceful protesting is a no no because ICE is saving America, and if you're in any way anti ICE, even if you do it peacefully, oh well if you end up getting shot. They completely lack any compassion. Many said they hope ICE continues to do this to more lefties to teach them a lesson about getting in the way.
It's crazy to me for a group of people who claim to love America so much to be so against free speech if it goes again their brainless leader. And I'm talking about sign & candle peaceful protesters who wouldn't hurt a fly. One MAGA suggested they all be locked up because they're trying to stop ICE from doing their job. Protesting against potential citizens being accidentally deported because ICE isn't handling shit correctly a lot of the times should be something every American can agree is bad.

It's pretty obvious from the occupy wall street protests, to black lives matter, to name any other protest that conservatives are incapable of accepting any form of protest of the shitty behavior of the government as long as its shitty behavior they support like oppressing women, LGTBQ, persons of color, poor people, etc. They always talk about the "right to protest" but for some reason no one can protest "in the right way". Hint: There is no right way as far as they are concerned.
Don't like the results of an election? If the results are against conservatives then and only then the correct form of protest is to attempt to overthrow the government. Long story short:
The don't tread on me crowd is all about doing the treading.

At this point those who have to deal with the Trump administration has come to these conclusions:
-Even if you strike a "deal", it can be worth less than used toilet paper at the whim of the President at any point in the future. Hence doing "deals" doesn't hold any significance, and other countries will in best case do deals around US or in worst case do deals which actively harms US interest. We have seen EU and Canada doing lots of new trade agreements, and China while having lost trade with US are simply growing their export with the rest of the world.
-In regard to Greenland. If they want to "buy" Greenland. Who are selling? Denmark doesn't "own" Greenland, so the Danish state would not be able to receive any payment. So would they give cash to Greenland and as soon as it was a US protectorate then what? Next problem: Since Trump can't be trusted with anything, the cash would have to be paid up-front. How would he ever get that kind of money? And finally maybe up 7% of Greenlanders want to be part of US, so how would he ever believe it to be possible. If he takes it by force, then he looses rest of NATO as allies, and somehow I don't see how that improves the overall security situation for the US. And finally the question that no-one can get a clear answer on: What are the national security reasons to have Greenland, which cannot be achieved within the current agreements over Greenland?
If this feels like winning to Trump, then I wouldn't want to be in your shoes when he is loosing...

Trump does not want NATO anymore, he wants an alliance with Russia and since both have the most ammount of nukes, they think that together can put the world in their knees, little know that if that happens, literally ALL the world goes nuclear in consequence.

Seems like a sign of staffing issues and potentially mass resignations in the future, alongside novel ways to get cases dismissed. Good luck wielding the power of the DOJ across the country with a skeleton crew and some political hacks.
