Certainly agree there is no mandate … although they will proceed as if it were.

That we now will never know. Up to bat Donald, I await events to unfold. Cabinet picks? Project 2025 authors in the administration? Let’s not waste time on speculation but focus on concrete actions … like the nomination of Matt G. … yes, I condemn. Bondi? While I certainly disagree … she has the qualifications for the nomination.

Right .. all those folks investigating, separate Prosecutors Offices, Trump having a life long documented history of sleaze dealings. But what is really the core of your focus? The American Justice system is corrupt. Four separate Grand Juries found that there was enough evidence to warrant a trial to determine guilt or innocence of those charges. One citizen Grand Jury called for a trial and then a separate citizen Trial Jury determined Trump was guilty of the 32 charges and declared him guilty as a felon. Thus, is the documented factual history. Feel free to now rail against history. As to the other charges? May not see the light of day. Nonetheless, we all were able to hear and see the happenings on Jan. 6, the call to Georgia to interfere in the election, the calling on Pence not to certify the election. Trump may well have escaped the remaining legal dealings but history has already recorded what happened. Thus is his legacy to date.

Quite inline with incoming incompetence …

I certainly am supportive of a continuous review of laws/regulations and government spending. If her salary band should be around $143,000 thousand rather than the $181,000 then a review should be performed … oh, but … I want these steps to be taken fairly across the board not “targeting” individuals on any other basis than a fair review of costs, including salaries. That is the aim of having a civil service system dealing with all federal employees (non-politically appointed). For those elected or appointed to federal office, I think there are also regulations concerning compensation. Traditionally, government employment has been a tradeoff of job security versus getting paid more in the private sector. Hmm, it will be interesting to see how many are willing to give up their higher paying employment for lower paying government service.

Certainly would be looking for an escape route if I were an enlightened federal civil service employee. Life is too short to deal with the ensuing foolish mayhem of the declared disruptor.

Shaking my head at the news that DPT vaccine shots are down and … gee, cases of Pertussis are currently rising.

Yo! Not so fast. Don’t condemn all Americans. Yep, 76+ million voted for him … 73+ million voted opposed. I am estranged from my country for the next four years but I certainly will not be involved nor responsible for the majority vote.

This would make a difference in my thinking. Conversely, it also clarifies that the Republican rule move is just another tempest in a teacup. I do wonder if we might incorporate a rule stating that each member undergo a public exam of their pieces parts to establish that there are nor hermaphrodites (ambiguous genitalia if you wish) among them. Yes, tongue in cheek …

So, only a person of the same country nationality can comment on a nation’s documented history? Interesting approach to censoring comments. As your “which means” … sorry, you lost me as your reasoning is … well, not reasoned.

I recommend reading Rousseau on this subject of being right.

The two are not usually exclusive.

Love the wording, “Some netizens criticised the transwoman for not revealing her gender upfront.” True dat!

It is true for me in Chiang Mai. Easy, fast stop at the Drive Up Window and then off to the Mall.

Mandate? 76.4 + million vs 73.7 + million popular. Methinks not a mandate. Nonetheless … I hope the American voting majority greets everything they deserve as a result of their vote …
