Not time yet. DOGE and Big Balls need to go deeper.

According to AP, Trump is revoking Biden's security clearance and cancelling his access to daily briefings. As Biden did to him. He says he's worried about an old geezer with a bad memory being trusted with secret squirrel stuff. (I'm paraphrasing) https://apnews.com/article/trump-biden-security-clearance-revoked-be82cd4f185f01404718fcc69e074fbf

The problem is that Trump will rack up a dozen victories in a row, then he'll stumble on Gaza (that's been intractable for 80+ years) and that's all they'll want to talk about.

Here's the important question... Are those lips real or injected? She's not hard to look at, either way.

They give themselves away in the title. Elon's not shutting anything down. He can't. He's been asked by the elected President to lead a team that's auditing where the money is going so that the people who do have the authority can make data based decisions. I'd click on the link to see how ridiculous the body is, but it's blocked where I'm staying. Not sad about that at all in this case.

Shows you what you know. Mine's a double wide. And the politically correct word is "vintage"

That makes me even more curious. Thx for the info.

Just a point of curiosity... Are the POPULAR CONTRIBUTORS ranked solely on post count, or does their emoji count (given and received) factor in at all?

I partially agree with that. I had great luck with Lazada. Literally hundreds of orders pre-paid by debit card and not one transaction that ended badly. Very few that even needed to be returned, and those went great. But they need to do a better job of weeding out fake products. They should have (at least) an algorithm that auto deletes 3,000 baht new IPhones and 512GB SD cards selling for 250 baht. And ads for frog feathers, which are as likely as a 250 baht, 512GB SD card. TBH, maybe they do now. But in the past, I've found a lot of products that screamed FAKE because they were on Lazada at ridiculous prices. That's Lazada's fault.

My money would be on the Apple tech that can track the phone by S/N. And if Apple can't (or won't) prevent a reported stolen phone from even being activated, shame on them.

So if you ordered an advertised Apple product and you received a fake, it's your fault?

That sounds exactly like what some AN posters would say. And then they'd expect to be taken seriously.

My fear is that it's real, and not a Babylon Bee parody.

If I got the sense that's where the money is actually going, I may feel differently. But that's not the way it's looking at first blush. $1.5 million to “advance diversity equity and inclusion in Serbia’s workplaces and business communities”

Cruel as it may sound, what's the quality of life for someone on oxygen in a hospital for 3 years? My MIL was begging for death and relief after she'd been bedridden for 10 years. But they wouldn't let her die out of some distorted concept of compassion. Edit: I should say, she was begging for relief after a year. It went on for another 9 years.

If you say so.

Forever... But that's not really the meaning behind to original "Stays in Vegas".

You guys are a hoot. Keep it up. Demonizing us worked so well in the last election cycle.

That explanation is so 2023. They've moved on.

Any excuse to show off that new costume...

As I read, they probably weren't even aware they had paid subscriptions, much less what they cost. The subscriptions were pre-installed on their gub'ment mandated computers when they walked in the door. That's genius. Evil, but genius. Now DOGE needs to find out whether any gub'ment employees got kickbacks for installing them.

I'm a big fan of the 2nd amendment, and I personally own quite a few firearms. But you won't ever see mine, and I cringe when I see some of the zealots parading down the street in camo carrying their AR15s. They do not speak for me. I imagine that's the same way that reasonable gay people feel when they see the ridiculous displays of the flaming LGBTQ+ crowd.

And if Twitter (X) is any indicator, they'll probably get more of the good stuff done with 294 employees than they did with 14,000. It's amazing what can be achieved when you remove the saboteurs. Or did you never take the personal development workshops where they played out that scenario as a game? Saboteur...

Demonizing Trump worked so well in November that I think the Dems and their paid minions should double down leading into the midterms.

There's those weasel words... Next, we'll find out she didn't get a salary because she billed them as an independent contractor and not an employee, and that her foundation didn't get $84 mil, it got $86 mil.
