"dTrumph and Muskat are such pieces of shit, fattening their bank accounts with all that $$$$. "

My wife showed me her timeline on FB last night, and she showed me the sloppy, lefty bullshit, clickbait. How, some way, Musk and Trump are fattening THEIR bank accounts from stuff like this.
I have seen some “expose” by Senator Chris Murphy get passed around FB, if you all want some more context. Not sure if posted before…
Important read. Please share EVERYWHERE.

Report from the Senate Floor:

Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. Republicans forced us to debate their billionaire bailout budget framework. We started voting at 6 PM because they knew doing it in the dark of night would minimize media coverage. And they do not want the American people to see how blatant their handover of our government to the billionaire class is.

So I want to explain what happened last night and what we did to fight back. The apex of Republicans’ plan to turn over our government to their wealthy cronies is a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on. Popular and necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP, are all being targeted.

In order to pass the tax cut, Republicans have to go through a series of procedural steps. Last night, they took the first step which requires them to pass an outline of their plan, but with it, any senator can offer as many amendments as we want. So my Democratic colleagues and I did just that.

Now, we knew that Republicans would largely unanimously oppose them, but we had two objectives here. One, Republicans were forced to put their opinion on record — many for the first time — on the most corrupt parts of Trump and Musk’s agenda. Two, as I’ve been saying, I am going to make every process and procedure as slow and painful as possible for as long as my colleagues choose to ignore the constitutional crisis happening before our eyes.

So what did we propose? We proposed no tax cuts for anyone who makes a billion dollars a year. We made them vote on whether or not Elon Musk and DOGE should have limitless access to Americans’ personal data. We made them vote on whether to protect IVF and require insurers to cover it. Every single amendment Democrats proposed was shot down. On almost every single amendment, Republicans universally opposed it. Every Republican voted against our proposal to prevent more tax cuts for billionaires. The corruption and theft is happening in the open here.

The whole game for Republicans is taking your money and giving it to the wealthiest corporations and billionaires — even if it means kicking your parents out of a nursing home or turning off Medicaid for the poorest children. They know what they are doing is deeply unpopular. They are offering a tax cut to the most wealthy that is 850 times larger than what they are offering working people. Oh and by the way, any tax cuts for working people are going to be washed out by higher costs for basic necessities, like health care and food. It’s a fundamental injustice.

Thanks to your pressure and support, many of my Democratic colleagues have joined my effort to do everything we can to make sure they cannot destroy democracy and steal your money in the dark of the night. We are being loud about what is happening. I’m going to continue to grind the gears of Congress down as much as possible to make it that much harder and slower to get away with this corruption. That’s why the votes lasted until nearly 5 AM.

This is a five-alarm fire. I don’t think we have two years to plan and fight back. I think we have months. It’s still in our power to stop the destruction of our democracy with mass mobilization and effective opposition from elected officials. So we can’t miss any opportunity to take advantage of opportunities to put Republicans on the record and shine a light on what is happening.

And you have a role to play in this as well. I need you to amplify what’s happening, support the leaders who are fighting for you to make sure they can continue speaking truth to power against Musk and Trump’s billionaire cronies, and show up at rallies and town halls. Use every tool at your disposal to send a message loud and clear about how you expect my colleagues to lead and fight in this moment.

Every best wish,
US Senator Chris Murphy (D - CT)
 
The real loser in any deal is the UK. Rumor has it the Brits have been so gung-ho about fighting to the last Ukrainian (to the point Boris Johnson went in person to sabotage the early truce) is that those underground Ukrainian resources have already been secretly promised to them. For the UK to complain now would force them to admit this whole war was in fact designed to further enrich the elite at Ukraine's expense. We'll know this is true when one or more British banks collapse from the weight of their now unbacked and worthless Ukraine bonds.
Ukraine is basically the head of the snake for the Deep State and the Globalist Elite, and the mainstream media really make very little effort to hide this.
 
Mexican president proposes constitutional amendment protecting Mexico from the U.S. using military strikes on cartels

They have nothing to prevent us from carrying them out. The cartels are literally terrorists, one only needs to take a look at liveleak (or whatever people are using) for endless amounts of proof
 
I really wanted Blue Gender to be cool, but it turned into Evangelion.

The first half of blue gender is one of the best anime's ever. Marlene is a top teir waifu.

Anyway,

64 countries abstained. Trump is going to get a lot of flak for this

Only in leftest circles, and even then, not really. I doubt anybody takes the UN very seriously, especially on the right.

Trump needs to wrangle Zuckerfuck a bit more because I suspect Mark is still pushing lefty agitprop on Facebook or turning a blind eye to it. A community notes system would go a long way on that boomer shithole.

I think this is more fine tuning and polishing phase of things, focusing in on specific companies, etc. Right now, we are squarely in the initial sand blasting stage AKA, crippling what makes these bad actors resilient; pocket books. Drain the Swamp Fund and build a dam upstream until the land has dried out and a new ecosystem can begin.
 
Yeah in my experience, FedEx is worse than USPS. However the worst by far is DHL. I get a package delivered by DHL and it ends up being a rigamarole every time. That German autism really shows when working with them.

But yeah USPS is decent until you are missing a package. You can file a report but it’s as good as gone. If you have something of actual value, UPS is the only option I trust.
The USPS is having a chain-reaction failure unfortunately.

A lot of online sellers utilize USPS Smart Post, which is a pretty cool program in which shipping begins with a large private carrier such as UPS or FedEx, and the final delivery is done by USPS. Amazon uses this service too. This is especially good for rural customers and irregular addresses, since the USPS knows the local area better than the big carriers. Nor does a carrier need to send an entire truck 20 miles off the main road to deliver a single package worth less than $20; the USPS is going that way anyway, with the regular mail. Smaller, lighter items that can be shipped in a padded envelope are perfect for USPS Smart Post, and it saves money.

In the heartland of our country, a new USPS shipping hub opened in 2024, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The location is ideal, so that many packages will travel through Indianapolis during their 5 - 7 day ground shipment journey. There is a problem, though. The Indianapolis hub is suffering a catastrophic failure:

https://youtu.be/-FWoQ4TihkY

I noticed this because I bought a pair of shoes from Amazon, a very NICE pair of shoes, and they've been marked "Shipped" and "Arriving Today" for the last three days in a row. The USPS Tracking shows they've been in Indianapolis the whole time. Them shoes is never coming lol.

Employees say that there are still packages backed up from Christmas, being stored in sheds and trailers around the property, rotting. How can they afford to keep all those trailers out of circulation, full of undelivered packages? How long until they run out of USPS delivery trailers? How has their absence not been noticed until now? When you look at the video, the Indianapolis USPS Shipping Hub resembles the Indiana Jones warehouse where the Ark of the Covenant was hidden, except messier. Much, much messier.

There's another problem. Now Georgia is getting backed up too:

https://youtu.be/3jKK90YLUF4

"Failure to follow procedure" is cited as one of the reasons that four Georgia Postal hubs are now black holes for mail.

I like the USPS and I think it should be saved, but it's clearly having some severe issues that need to be fixed. The USPS needs to be modernized as well. It's also inevitable that the USPS will be at least partially privatized due to USPS Smart Post, which probably saved the USPS from suffering a complete financial collapse long ago.
 
Day after day I try to remain a serious person who doesn't believe every single conspiracy theory that comes out. A person who acknowledges that yes, there is plenty of corruption in the government, but that we aren't actually ran by a bunch of adrenochrome addicted pedophile demons. That the worst case scenario is the government is just another 80/20 principle example where at least some of the federal workforce and leadership actually gives a shit and does real work.

At this point though it just feels like cope.

Like IMO, we are at a point where the logical assumption about these agencies is that they are demonic sex cults full of the worst people to ever exist, and that it is by design.

It honestly feels like it's more ignorant to believe institutions over shit like InfoWars. Genuine madness.

Lolcows infest power structures, and in particular they infest governments as its the ultimate troll shield.
 
wow, what a stunning, brave vote. notice how nobody gives a shit worldwide, because the actual military arm of the UN, the United States, isn't interested in participating.

The Mexican president is already caving to the United States’ demands.
Mexico president hopeful of deal this week to avert U.S. tariffs

Agence France-Presse

February 24, 2025 12:40PM ET

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum speaks during her daily press conference (AFP)

Mexico's president said Monday she was optimistic about reaching an agreement with Donald Trump this week to avoid sweeping U.S. tariffs, hinting at possible levies on Chinese goods to secure a deal.

Claudia Sheinbaum said talks with Washington would continue this week in an effort to avoid the 25 percent tariffs that Trump agreed on February 3 to "pause" for a month.

Teams from Mexico's economy and finance ministries are in Washington and if necessary Sheinbaum said she would speak with Trump again by phone, adding: "Whatever it takes to reach an agreement."

Asked about a Bloomberg News report that the United States was pushing her government to impose duties on Chinese imports, Sheinbaum said it was important to "prioritize those places where you have trade agreements versus others where you do not have them."

"We do not have a free trade agreement with China, for example... So that's part of what is being worked on in this working group," she added.

Both Trump and Canadian officials have accused Mexico of being a gateway for Chinese products coming into North America.

In an apparent bid to ease those concerns, Sheinbaum recently presented a plan to replace Chinese imports with domestically produced goods.

She signaled Monday that Mexico was open to an early review of its free trade agreement with the United States and Canada ahead of a 2026 deadline, saying it "can begin now."

"The issue is to reach an agreement that allows us to protect and guarantee that there are no tariffs between our countries," she said.

Mexico faces mounting pressure from Washington to do more to curb illegal flows of migrants and drugs, particularly fentanyl.

Sheinbaum called for a review of how the chemical precursors used to make the deadly opioid arrive in North America.

"Do the precursors enter through the United States? We don't know. Why is it only said that they enter through Mexico and Canada?" she said.

According to the US Drug Enforcement Administration, Mexican drug cartels dominate the illicit fentanyl market using precursor chemicals mostly sourced from China-based suppliers.

We replace our Apple products less often than our Windows and Android products because they're more reliable, and OS updates generally less likely to kill the performance of the system.

If you're replacing your iPhone or Macbook ever year, it's because you want to show off how much money you have, not because Apple bricks all their systems annually.
The 2014 Mac mini Server I am using as my home server, and the still perfectly running 2010 model I gave my friend when I replaced it with the 2014 say you are correct.
 
Holy shit trump is working on a deal with Russia for aluminium while EU sanctions Russian aluminium.

View attachment 7021203

EU is literally retarded and totally fucked...
Huh, so that's where the new source for aluminum will be instead of Canada. Interesting. Man has literally planned for everything. It's to the point where I might be willing to see how his Gaza idea would unfold now, instead of panicking like before.

The Mexican president is already caving to the United States’ demands.
Nay, she already had her chance.

Everyone involved in those chat rooms deserve to be fired.
Unironically it would be illegal to do so. Discrimination against LGBT identity groups. Remember, it's results not intent. If you fire a bunch of useless do nothings and they just happen to be massive numbers of House Niggers being paid to be useless do nothings, or they happen to be a bunch of sexual deviants who spend all day on the Federal version of IRC talking about their sick sexual fetishes, well, you just did a discrimination. Jewish lawyers would swarm you and Jewish judges would punish you.

You aren't allowed to make things better. You aren't even supposed to try.
