Let me see if I got this straight, Harry quits his day job, marries the Princess Meghan, moves to California - then complains he doesn't get job benefits anymore.

Everyone knew Ukraine had a neo-Nazi, far right, or whatever problem. Before the war this was openly discussed. Now it is Russian propaganda or Putin talking points ...

Wouldn't surprise me ... JD Vance was right about Europe: "For years we've been told everything we fund and support is in the name of our shared democratic values, everything from our Ukraine policy to digital censorship is billed as a defence of democracy, but when we see European courts cancelling elections and senior officials threatening to cancel others we ought to ask ourselves if we are holding ourselves to an appropriately high standard." (February 2025) This is how it has been going ...

UK on the brink of insolvency ... billions to Ukraine and tax tax tax! 🙈 🙈🙈

Starmer pledges to ban Ninja swords by the summer, taking bold action. I have doubts! If Ninja swords are the problem, does it not stand to reason that Japan would have more stabbings than the UK? Me thinks it is not a Ninja sword problem. It's the Ninjas. What are your thoughts?

Couldn't the story have had a fisherman getting bitten by a shark while nudging the reader to buy extensive medical insurance coverage?

This study is Pseudo Science (TM) ... the real answer is nothing happens in the brain ... “Men have a brain and a penis and only enough blood to run one at a time"

I thought it was illegal for even the President to shutdown an agency, plenty of court rulings of late ordering employee re-hires, etc, etc, He is clearly confused about the court order. Mr. Dudek seems exasperated about how to proceed with DOGE being blocked access to fulfill their mandate. He has no authority to shut SSA down and has subsequently backtracked on his remarks after receiving clarification about the court order. You can stop the hand wringing over a SSA shutdown or carry on, your choice. It is not the Admins policy and would be political suicide. I suggest ignoring such nonsense.

Who you gonna believe, anonymous sources or denial from Musk and Trump? Looks to me like a case of Fake News

In the words of President Trump, "Bye Bye, go home to mommy"

Big fat black sharpie President flanking both sides of the "AutoPen-in-Chief" 😁

Must admit I read this as "Britcoin Mining Operation" 😂 I clicked on ii I thinking this should be good but turns out it just Bitcoin

Why are you pretending that this is something new? Where were you when Biden was the EV car salesman?

They all know what is the right thing to do ... they never got it done and are now kicking and screaming. They are actually all "Team DOGE" - unless they were lying to us back then SaveTwitter.Net_XDfHHltMQzuk5Rqm_(720p).mp4

I think the word you're looking for is steal the frozen assets. If that happens it can't be good for the EU or the Euro. Imagine how many countries, companies and high net worth individuals might just decide it not safe to keep money in the EU banking system. We'll just have to wait and see

Perfect example of why some people say, "The FBI, where evidence goes to die"

No, it is not recognized as a Treaty. The Budapest Memorandum, signed in 1994, was never ratified by the U.S. Senate, a prerequisite for a treaty to become part of U.S. domestic law under Article VI of the Constitution (the Supremacy Clause). Without ratification, it doesn’t have the status of "supreme Law of the Land" that would allow its provisions to be directly enforced or challenged in U.S. courts. It’s an executive agreement, binding only as a political commitment, not a legal one within the U.S. system.

That does not prevent Hunter or anyone else that was pardoned by Biden from being compelled to testify in any investigation. They also can no longer utilize the 5th amendment to avoid responding. Anyone that was pardoned and offers false testimony under oath can be charged with perjury, a new crime, not covered by their pardon.

She should resign, she is just a stand-in for her exiled/disgraced father concern trolling the public about honesty and ethics in politics. One can have hopes and dreams ... 🙈

Always with the "Trump angle" ... ridiculous nonsense. We tried to destroy Trump and that didn't work, now it Elons turn! Jussie Smollett is back too!!

Oh, thanks for pointing out that DOGE needs to "double down" and cut deeper to reach their $1T budget savings target. I support this sentiment. Slash more!!

Why are they not referring to them as "Latinx" - this might be a problem!!

I agree with your sentiment ... there is no indication that anyone is actually going to read the replies that workers send. More like a "pulse check" and rooting out of people that "resist" such a simple request. I really want to believe there are hard working people at some of these agencies but the media is making that difficult by amplifying only the dumbest, most malcontent of them.

By your measure it's actually 4x as good ... suspect many were not around in the 80's when visa exempt was a mere 15 days

You have to skip over the dozens of times during the campaign that Trump has said "no cuts to social security" to make this claim. Most recently, even since the inception of DOGE, he has said it again in a couple of interviews: 1) February 7, 2025: During a press conference at the White House alongside Japanese Prime Minister, Trump stated, "Social Security will not be touched, it will only be strengthened." This came as DOGE’s audit was underway, with Musk present at the event. 2) February 18, 2025: In an interview with Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump addressed concerns sparked by DOGE’s fraud allegations, saying, "Social Security won't be touched, other than if there's fraud or something. President Trump has been consistent on his policy of no cuts to social security. Everyone knows that social security cuts are political suicide, not going to happen!!
