    My previous boss also jumped off the Trump wagon recently or so he claims.

    When the Iran war started he was parroting the same BS @raining threes was. I almost thought maybe it was the same person lol.
    "don't you think a country chanting death to america is an imminent threat"

    but the jesus/doctor meme got him. he said ok now he is just screwing with my faith....

    Republican policies are vastly superior for economic growth. The stats prove it clearly.




    GOOD DAY

    Serious question:

    How do you feel now knowing that now with Trump lifting sanctions, and allowing Iranian oil to flood the US markets to bring down prices, that you will directly be financing yourself the worlds largest state sponsor of terrorism??

    I mean you yourself just a couple weeks ago warned of the existential threat of Iran, and the imminence of them using a nuclear bomb on us or Israel. Now, assuming you have a gas car and not an EV, will be directly funding the regime you said was an existential threat.

    Assuming you are not happy about that, what will you do to show your disapproval of Trump? Just curious.

    This is the latest eg the selective fiscal conservatism that defines Republican governance.


    GOP Fiscal Hawks Turn Chicken On Reflecting Pool


    Rationalizations by fiscal fauxhawks include but not limited to:

    • “This is our nation’s capital,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told me. “Everything should look pristine.”
    • “Well, I think getting the reflecting pool looking beautiful again is a good thing,” said Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.), who has taken repeated opportunities to demand fiscal responsibility from the federal government, including DOGE cuts and rescission packages.
    • “I have no way to be able to answer that,” Lankford said. “But we do need to fix it, but I have no way to answer that. I’ve not been tracking that.”, as per Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.),
      • In 2016, when Barack Obama was president, Lankford wrote that a fair bidding process “can help save taxpayer money while also ensuring the government receives the best product.”

    I would post a mean meme since....

    Even if you have an electric car you are consuming.
    If you run air conditioning, you are consuming.
    If you have hot running water, you are consuming.

    Only option of not supporting Trump and aiding terrorism is to go off grid.

    Quite apart from the scandal of wasting money without congressional buy-in on a vanity project, our reflecting pool probably just needs some reimagining. If we don't like algae growing in it, maybe we should build something different there. After Trump. I don't trust him to run a project like that.

    I wouldn't go that far. Most electricity is generated from natural gas, renewables, coal, hydro and nuclear which are domestically sourced fuels. I suppose you can say the EV batteries and the solar panels are built using foreign energy sources.

    Always good when cultists deprogram. I guess they're deep into the acceptance phase.

    There should not be a minimum wage law either nationally or at the state level. Let the labor market run free. Rare ballot measure win.

    They don't like Trump.

    Donald Trump’s Approval Rating Hits New Low With Gen Z Voters

    A June Economist/YouGov poll found Trump’s net approval (those who approve minus those who disapprove) among Americans aged 18 to 29 at minus 45, the weakest reading for that group in the survey’s tracking series.

    Ratings among 18–29-year-olds have fallen 50 points since early 2025, when Trump began his term slightly above water, at plus 5 net points.

    That, and since MAGA started yelping about election fraud, the vast majority has been committed by the GOP
