Have you seen that Babylon Bee skit? It rattles on a little long, but it is funny.

I don't know about them, but I want the biggest, burliest MoFo they can send. Did you catch how I threw in that inclusive pronoun?

If I had to live on 300 baht a day, you'd be able to see the nerve endings jutting out of my fingertips. At the very least, that explains a lot of the difference in how we all handle money situations.

You're confusing mercy with enablement.

This will be tested in the courts. Had he immediately laid them off, we'd be on the hook for back pay and huge claims of compensation for pain and suffering. Better to pay them to stay home (as if they were coming in anyway).

Exactly how does it overturn protections based on race, color, religion, sex, blah blah blah?

What's it say when it's cheaper to pay people not to come to work?

Then he has his priorities straight. America first.

I'm going with "dollars to donut holes". I think you can still get those for under a buck.

Meanwhile, here's the MSM gleefully announcing their own downfall... Claiming that fewer people watched Trump's inauguration than Biden's................................On the major networks. More and more have abandoned the major networks and are watching on independent outlets. The New York Times, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The Washington Times and others rushed to point out that Biden’s inaugural ceremony received an estimated average of 33.7 million views on cable networks, while Trump’s average cable viewership added up to 24.6 million. While the television viewership lagged behind Biden’s, Trump’s inaugural ceremony received 36 million views on X alone and over 5.2 million on the president’s personal YouTube page.

But it's become meaningless as donuts cost more than a dollar after Biden's term in office. Another loss for America.

Sadly, that photo link is blocked here where I'm staying. But if it's the same portrait I've seen it looks like Trump is trolling, deliberately invoking his mugshot that helped him get elected.

What was gutless was waiting until after the election, after repeatedly promising he wouldn't do it. It'll be years before the voters believe anything a Democrat says during an election year. Which isn't a bad result...

Over the year I have read a lot of stupid stuff here. But this take the first price. Who is attacking who, and who is killing civilians and bombing schools and hospitals? You don't need to answer. I will block you right now. Russian Troll So which statement that I made is incorrect? Did Putin attack on Biden's watch, over 2 years ago? Has the $$ hundreds of billions that Biden dumped into the conflict resulted in a win or fewer deaths? Has the dying stopped? Is Ukraine somehow self healing so the cost of rebuilding is going down? Please do block me. You'll be doing both of us a favor.

You've apparently never been in sales.

Biden had over 2 years to do something about it. All he did was squander a couple hundred $$ billion. And the killing and the dying keep going on. And the cost of rebuilding Ukraine keeps getting more expensive.

How many of those countries have a trade deficit with the USA? Edit: Or a trade surplus depending on which POV you're using?

Were they really unaware, or did they change their mind (and their story)? Wouldn't be the first time in the history of the world that a woman took money for an act, then denied it when it became public.

Guest workers also don't stay in mid-city hotels on the taxpayer dime, costing $$billions that could be better spent on citizens' needs. Like water to fight fires.

Colour balance of the camera was set wrong? Or it may have been a file photo for reference only, as the OP states.

So, not the clown shoe that was doing exactly that, last week...

I've never encountered a group of people who are so proud to be ignorant and so determined to stay that way and not to get the other half of any issue. And I'm not using "ignorant" as a pejorative. By definition, ignorant means I don't know. I can correct that. But only if I am willing.

Pardon me for asking, but who is the clown shoe in your story? Because this tread is so chock full of clown shoes, you need to be specific.

Jonathon Turley explains that quite nicely. Paraphrasing, the Biden DOJ was so egregious in their harsh treatment of the J6 protestors that they opened the door for Trump to overcorrect. Turley, on “America’s Newsroom,” suggested that while he had wanted accountability for those “responsible for the riot,” the DOJ’s overreach made Trump’s pardons reasonable. https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/21/jonathan-turley-biden-dojs-harsh-treatment-of-j6-rioters-case-trump-pardoning/ Had Biden's DOJ only gone after the bad actors, Trump would have probably pardoned none of them. It's not as if he's a soft on crime Dem...

Hmmmm... Does that include murderers of FBI agents? The FBIAA — which represents more than 14,000 active and former FBI agents — characterized Biden’s decision to allow Peltier to serve out the rest of his sentence in home confinement as a stab in the back to the bureau and its employees. Peltier was convicted in 1977 for the 1975 murders of FBI Agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He sought to get out of prison repeatedly before Biden, on the final day of his presidency, commuted his sentence. https://dailycaller.com/2025/01/20/cruel-betrayal-law-enforcement-group-slams-bidens-cowardly-last-minute-commutation-for-cop-killer/
