    I think as a fellow communist, Trump is doing a great job making China the new global hegemon.

    The spirit of Mao compels us.

    USAid is how they launder the money and run govt ops outside the govt.

    USAid sounds nice right? It’s not. It’s the state dept funding all kinds of nefarious **** all over the globe. It’s basically how zelensky became president of Ukraine

    I guess it might depend on who these 'good ol boys' are that we're talking about. My perspective in a big corporation is that diversity in the C-suite isn't a challenge. The board wants the most effective leaders they can find and they're genuinely cool about them being brown or whatever. Because when you're smart, charismatic, experienced, ambitious, organized and effective, your personal qualities will overwhelm whatever subconscious bias a casual racist might have about the people you came from. I think its earlier career and at lower rungs of the ladder where systemic challenges and internal bias can shape who gets opportunities. And then who gets the experience to be in a place to be considered for the C-suite.

    I would hope all are above the fray.
    What I'm saying is there are always ways around an issue if you do not agree with it.
    I'm in the same boat as you.
    Hire the best and brightest regardless of anything else.

    I think the new administration is doing some quick digging and cutting any programs that fund the folks who impeded his first term or his America first agenda and the left is freaked.

    Why did Biden issue 8000 pardons dating back to 2014?

    Hey MAGAT. The president has no authority on ending programs that congress had previously funded. Youre in a cult

    Show of hands. Who here is surprised?

    A group of House Republicans on Monday introduced a bill that would ban medication abortion nationwide and impose a prison sentence of up to 25 years on anyone who dispenses the drugs, which are used in the majority of abortions across the country.

    "I’m taking a stand against the irresponsibility of the Democrats and working to protect women and girls across America," Republican Rep. Andy Ogles of Tennessee, the lead sponsor of the bill, wrote in a news release. "I’m taking a stand for life because, born or unborn, every single person is uniquely and wonderfully made. It's not merely a political issue; it's a moral duty to uphold the sanctity of life. I am committed to safeguarding the innocent and voiceless in our society.”

    Ogles introduced the bill along with 18 other House Republicans, including Mary Miller of Illinois, who infamously declared that Adolf Hitler “was right on one thing”; Andrew Clyde of Georgia, who is against abortion but loves AR-15 rifles that are used to blow children to bits in school shootings; and Lauren Boebert of Colorado, who believes teenagers should be paid below minimum wage.

    Republicans are targeting medication abortion even though 72% of Americans support it, according to a March 2024 Axios/Ipsos poll. Civiqs’ tracking poll also finds that 60% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

    Ogles’ proposed nationwide abortion-pill ban is a reversal of a position he took in 2022, when the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade to allow states to ban abortion at any stage of pregnancy.

    There is a dojo in the mountains where trump is training/breeding these feisty hot blonde press secretaries. He has a never ending supply. Need to find it.

    The Trump dojo is more potent than the Cobra Kai dojo.

    Trump is doing what he said he would do after being elected, elections have consequences. I hope the poor working class like their choice. I think I will most likely be fine like I was under Trump I and under Biden, I think my net worth should continue to grow.

    How many on Medicaid voted for him? He won by less than two percent.

    I know so many republican providers that make tons of money off medicaid. I hope they go feel it hard.
