Janet

I don't trust her, generally, but she was sexually or physically abused in some way. I'd bet money on it. just her words. She is not putting up with what she sees as similar as an adult woman. I do admire her for that. She is getting out of Dodge, yes, with other plans. But the anger is real.

seriously? you really think he will leave on his own accord?

he's boring but what kills me about him is he is a smart guy and these stats he is throwing out are complete bullshit and he knows it.

He is physically old. mentally old. There are other people his age who are doing much better or worse but he should not be working in this capacity and I don't think he is!

honestly I was sure the shooter was a militarily trained person. that was quite a shot he got off. I did not see the closeup. I did see the distant one, once, and knew it killed him.

it's complicated. Some of these folks do need to be committed. Some of them are harmless and don't want to be so you can't just randomly put them "away". The community care program (under Reagan) backfired in a spectacular way.

That is my view.

Jesus Christ. all for his stupid ego.

God I hope that's true.

I looked it up. the hotels are wide open, there are no huge crowds coming to this thing.

I am seeing wee hints of push back.

does make me wonder what ER visit prompted this warning?

trump did not say that statement with saddened in it. I'm sorry, NFW.

I am going to be 69 and even though I have good genes, overall and may get lucky, my friend and I were talking and said we won't see the US come back in our lifetimes.

we need many, many, more folks like her.

how about the 2 year old citizen deported? I think these 2 latest fascist moves are trial balloons to see what he can get away with.

be louder. Ads constantly. all over the waves.

but even more. and yes they are but they would go totally whoop ass on the government with a shut down and yes, they are also doing that now but it would be yet more!

I don't know about that. I think that, if there was a shut down, it would just give Trump and Musk carte blanche to do literally whatever the fuck they wanted to do and claim all of the federal government is unnecessary. Terrible choice but I think the right one.

I pulled my TSP as soon as that motherfucker won. I paid nothing to move it (but I am retired so...) and pay nothing to my financial advisor. I just didn't want him anywhere near my money.

quietly keep the wheels on the bus. no understanding at all.

my heart breaks for them, for you, for all federal employees. I am a retired fed. am somewhat shocked over how, even some VA federal employees (Trumpers) are not even thinking about other federal employees right now but they will get theirs. already are. Nobody understands that federal employees 1/

the first part, not so sure. the you need to go away part, definitely.

to be clear, not the FBI guy. Thank God for him!

they weren't ready last time. they are ready this time.

Alright folks, here we go! Ask me anything, 30ish mins, gogo!

people really don't understand just how bad this is.

are they working? does anyone know?

there were issues prior but it started, in earnest, with the escalator.

retired fed here. I really don't think most people understand just how bad things are.
