I'm getting worried. It's already 1 pm and we haven't won yet. Has this administration dropped the ball already?

Here's your winning fix:

President Donald Trump is expected to sign a memo Friday to lift the collective bargaining agreements former President Joe Biden put into effect before leaving office, Fox News Digital has learned. The president’s memo will direct federal agencies to reject last-minute collective bargaining agreements issued by the Biden administration, which White House officials said were designed to "constrain" the Trump administration from reforming the government.

The memo prohibits agencies from making new collective bargaining agreements during the final 30 days of a president’s term. It also directs agency heads to disapprove any collective bargaining agreements that Biden put through during the final 30 days of his term. The White House said collective bargaining agreements enacted before that time period will remain in effect while the Trump administration "negotiates a better deal for the American people." Biden’s Social Security Administration Commissioner Martin O’Malley in December 2024 came to an agreement with the American Federation of Government Employees guaranteeing that the agency’s 42,000 employees would not have to come into the office during the Trump administration.

The White House told Fox News Digital that the new policy "ensures the American people get the policies they voted for, instead of being stuck with the wasteful and ineffective Biden policies rejected at the ballot box."

Man, the pedophiles sure went from "It's not happening" to "Ok it's happening a lot and you're a bigot if you oppose it" real quick, huh?

It is.
If you took ADHD meds in school and are off them then you might be qualified and will face a screening.

The rule is to make sure that you weren't just medicated for the sake of being medicated.

If they find you have ACTUAL ADHD then you're out on your ass.

There are definitely some kids with ADD/ADHD and benefit from medication. I have seen it first-hand. However, it is far more common for parents to get annoyed with their kids, shop around for a prescriber, and put their kids on uppers instead of address the kid's bad behaviour. ADD/ADHD are overdiagnosed and the drugs to treat it are overprescribed.

Gul Dukat put it best: bad manners are the fault of the parent, not the child.

I literally put the trash can next to the shower so she'll throw her hair in there. I'm so tired of buying drain-o bros.

Drain-O isn't an effective solution for hair. I've removed enough hair from drains to wish for a bathroom garbage disposal.

Spoiler: Off-Topic Drain Unclogging

You gotta remove hair physically. Hair isn't going to desolve with household chemicals. I'll list a few solutions. They should be sold at hardware type stores locally. They are easily found online. Brand names or specific product names don't matter.

The Drain Wig
The white "flower" sits on the drain. You periodically pull it out and clean it off (or just buy replacements)


The Drain Snake
Shove it down and pull it back up. Cheap and disposable.


The Drain Blaster
It "shoots" a pressurized blast of air. Can unclog a shitter too.

If Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican and doctor, doesn't confirm Bobby Jr. because of muh vaccines, he deserves to get primaried or lose to a Democrat challenger.

Cassidy is one of the traitors that voted to impeach Trump for Jan 6th, don't have super high hopes for him.

Man, the pedophiles sure went from "It's not happening" to "Ok it's happening a lot and you're a bigot if you oppose it" real quick, huh?

They think they're still dealing with 2016 Trump, not 2025 Punished Trump. The only thing really holding back the full might of the administration is the Dems and RINOs slow rolling his appointees in the confirmation hearings.

ADD/ADHD are overdiagnosed and the drugs to treat it are overprescribed.

I think it's mostly an overblown thing, add/adhd meds make bigpharma A LOT of money. I think it's unwise to medicate a kid for being unable to focus, kids struggle with being forced to learn 8 hours a day. That said, some kids absolutely do need some sort of treatment, i'm not sure the first attempt should be some pill. Some pill we aren't really certain in how or why it does what it does.

He's not going to be renominated. Louisiana had a jungle primary system and they got rid of it, so he'll have to face his own party for the first time, after voting to convict Trump in the impeachment trial. There's a good chance he votes against Bobby because he knows he's fucked either way.

"While President Trump remains focused on uniting our country and delivering the mandate set by the American people, the House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries, incites violence calling for people to fight ‘in the streets’ against President Trump’s agenda," White House deputy press secretary Kush Desai told Fox News Digital. "This unhinged violent rhetoric is dangerous. Leader Jeffries should immediately apologize."

When asked for clarification, Jeffries spokesperson Christie Stephenson told Fox News Digital, "The notion that Leader Jeffries supports violence is laughable. Republicans are the party that pardons violent felons who assault police officers. Democrats are the party of John Lewis and the right to petition the government peacefully." She posted similar comments on X where she signaled the comments were referring to "nonviolent protest."

Sounds like Hakeem should get a visit from the feds for wanting to incite domestic terrorism

Been checking the loonies on DU some, and this really made me think. What happened to Kamala? Do they realize what a laughing stock Walz is? Keep it up, please. That's really sad that the failed VP is their hope now. Almost as bad if Republicans were pining for Pence after 2020.

Any give a qrd on what Trump getting elected in 2016 felt like? (I wasn't that interested in politics back then) I heard the main difference between then and now is that it legit felt out of the blue. Like, no one expected Michigan and Pennsylvania to flip.

I was 17 in high school at the time. I remember feeling upset since I was a lefty (crazy how much things changed) but I sucked it up and went to school. There was a big divide between people (mainly girls) looking like on the verge of crying, meanwhile every athlete male in the school was wearing a trump shirt and smiling. By evening, I felt better at track practice and went along with the jokes we did off school grounds.
I think some students visibly looked like they didn’t sleep either lol.

 

[Farm Hand]

With all the talk about the new press secretary, I'd just like to remark that I'm so happy that the Trump White House dumped all the sign language interpreters for the screen space (like 50%!) that they were hogging, a hope that I've had for such a long time.

chemicals can also melt, corrode, or weaken pipes. never use chemicals in your drain

i use one of these and clean it out a few times a week. works great

Recently, a memo was sent by the Acting Counsel of the NLRB, (National Labor Relations Board). Seems quite alarmist to be honest, give it a read, its quite funny
