It's Paul

So what's the official pretend reason that DOGE needs access to all of our personal finance and medical information? Anyone?

I used to have a cottage in northern Ontario, and our neighbors there installed solar panels in the late 90s. The last time I spoke to them (around 2016), the panels were still working perfectly. I added some to our cottage around that time.

I think there's some sort of inventory reasoning behind the strange prices.

At least it seems to have stayed deleted.

Too bad he hasn't put as much effort into doing his job as he has writing a book, but I guess when you aren't doing your job, you have plenty of time for other things, like book writing.

Dash cam vid from the Tesla protest in Rockville yesterday. Ironically, later in the day. an aggressive Tesla driver got very put out that I stopped several feet short of a red light to let someone out of their driveway.

This from the person who claims that many veterans are not suitable to hold jobs?

Looks like Elon reported your cartoon! lol

Health care debate shows the lies I told for insurance companies about ‘medicare for all’ worked. Our propaganda duped americans into believing that the free market can work in health care and that progressives want a government-run system.

Just putting this here to remind everybody that we’ve been recipients of corporate propaganda for decades. And we’re living some kind of grand climax of this propaganda paradigm coming to a head in the age of 2025.

Welp, deactivating my Facebook account didn't work very well, as it seems to self-reactivate every few days. Over a two week period, I had to re-deactivate it four times. So now I've deleted it. Hopefully they'll honor this request.

You assume we'll be able to afford potatoes by the time Easter comes around.

I wonder how long it will be before Elon gets his grubby little hands on my retirement account.

And that was me being optimistic.

Fire all the feds and give those jobs to the private sector, removing oversight. Job market being flooded by former feds will drive wages down, widening the gap between the middle class and the 1%. Re-staff the DOJ with lackeys to remove any further accountability. 1-party rule within a decade.

Bowl of Moroccan lamb stew

Moroccan lamb stew is a nice way to spend a Friday night after being terrorized about my job all week.

There's nothing quite like busting your ass as a federal employee for 25 years (after turning down a higher paying job) because you thought you were making a difference, and picking up a few awards along the way, only be referred to as a "low productivity" worker by OPM. Really makes your Friday.

Googley eyes are the best!

Constitutional amendment to allow Trump third term introduced in the House President Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of somehow serving a third term in office.

By the time this term is over, they will have successfully rigged the voting system to prevent any opposition.

Loving a curry rice bowl on a chilly evening.

He knows when I'm not feeling 100%

When I look at this, I see Borg drones. But I guess that's my Sci-Fi brain showing through.

I usually avoid the stolen/cheated stuff, but looking at this objectively, he sure seemed confident for someone who got trounced in the debate. Also, there was a notable absence of Trump yard signs (and lots of Harris) in rural PA/NY when we drove through, and that's usually MAGA land. Hmmmm...

Putting this here to check back over the next 4 years.

Current inflation rate: 2.9%
Current unemployment rate: 4.1%
Current gas price: $3.12/gal

Anything else to add?

1000% dead accurate.

Between 1998 and 2009 I was an admin on a political forum. That's when I coined the phrase, "No candidate is ever good enough for Democrats, and no candidate is ever bad enough for Republicans". That phrase still holds up today.
