A) Until someone shows me an actual accounting, I have no clue whether they've saved any money. Neither do the knobs reporting that they do know. We won't know for at least a few quarters. B) Show me a politician that doesn't put a favorable spin on their programs and forecast rainbows and lollypops. C) (And this is the most important one). How does that justify vandalism and burning stuff down and swatting and other acts of violence?

My post was poorly worded in a hurry out the door and I apologize for that. But the point still stands, if only based on dozens of posts just here on AN lamented that Crooks wasn't a better shot. Meanwhile, conservative influencers are being swatted (risking not only their lives, but the LEOs being sent), property is being vandalized, companies are being targeted (that have thousands of employees and even more stockholders). Because some people don't like Bad Orange Man or (by association) Musk. I guaranty you that there are millions of lefties that will be hoping that Space-X fails, that Trump keels over, and that the economy collapses on his watch. Like they were hoping out loud that the next would be assassin wouldn't fail. All because they can't stand the possibility that they'll succeed. That's the state of many on the left in America today. They resort to violence, vandalism and thuggery if they don't get their way. Personally, I'd prefer and end to gub'ment waste and corruption, a balanced budget and prosperity for more Americans.

And I'll bet you'll be one of the millions of lefties crossing your fingers and hoping they crash when Space-X launches their mission to rescue the astronauts stranded up there by the previous administration. Just to get back at Musk.

Kinda like little kids can be amused for hours playing peek-a-boo.

Or, the immigrants may win and impose Sharia Law.

And that throwing American tax money is the only solution. Take Twitter (X) as an example. Musk eliminated 80% of the employees, cut overhead by about the same, and still delivers a better product. He got rid of the cliques working at odds to the company's goals. That's what needs to happen across the gub'ment. Get rid of the cliques working against the interests of the American citizenry. On an aside, I'd bet the program was riddled with DEI and gender pandering. At a huge cost and deleterious effect. It needs to be reconstituted without all that.

Here I thought the thread was going to be about the woke mind virus.

That phenomenon goes a long way to explaining why Trump won, why he appointed Hegseth and why Hegseth has invited DOGE into the Pentagon.

But they're not. They're cancelling a bloated, over-expensive plane that's years behind in scheduling deliveries. It's like if I cancelled that pizza I ordered to watch the game 2 hours ago, then blamed it on Trump. No. It's not Trump. The game's over and my buddies already left.

I wonder how many times you can post a photo of the same billboard before you have to pay royalties?

Feral dogs must be profitable, because I see so many of them being raised all over LOS.

That's not what the OP titles say. Nor the lefties crying in almost every single thread in this section. Even the threads about problems in Europe and Asia are Trump's fault. TBH, it's gotten rather tedious. And sad.

So what you're saying is that it's not probably really about Trump?

Meanwhile, in the least prosperous country in Western Europe: Portugal, Western Europe’s least affluent nation, is on the brink of yet another government shake-up, fueled largely by rising discontent over immigration. The country has become a magnet for digital nomads and affluent expatriates, leading to surging living costs and growing support for the far-right. Maybe they just can't afford them any more?

Perhaps he realized that being popular while his adopted country swirled down the toilet wasn't as important as helping to stop the swirling.

Seems like it's all going according to plan. Not the people's plan, of course. But someone's.

If we're knuckle draggers, how is it that you geniuses lost? The White House, the Senate and the House. That takes next level stupidity, to lose to a 34x convicted felon.

It's going to be fun to see them finally get held to account for their crimes. And no doubt AOC and Maxine will be advocating a bail fund. Like they did for the mostly peaceful city burnings.

Good info, and a great cautionary tale. If I did vape, I'd probably keep my head down for a while.

Out of curiosity, did he get a receipt from the popo? I'm not doubting that it happened. Just wondering how above board it was?

All that may be true. But smoking is worse. If the choice is vaping or nothing, nothing is probably better for you. If the choice is vaping or smoking, the best argument against vaping seems to be the chance of getting tossed in jail. That's what makes it more hazardous. It's been the same with weed vs booze for most of my entire life. Weed may not be good, but booze is worse. But you won't get arrested for a few booze seeds in your car's carpeting.

I'll bet that felt good.

Ummm.. It's the beginning of spring in the USA, not the end of summer. Try harder next time.

Meanwhile, the price of gas is less than $3 at the pump in 31 states. Don't take my word for it. Google it.

Sad story all around, at several levels. I hope she didn't suffer on the canopy after she landed.
