The Trump Presidency : Year V
So, you're saying Big Balls was initially ejected from the game, but the black cap ruled there was no foul, and after video review the white hat agreed?

What I really liked about bringing BB back was Trumps backing of his VP Vance.
I watched it earlier today on Fox when Doocy asked Trump about it during one of his 3 or 4 Q&A sessions today with the media.
Trump didn’t bat an eye when informed about VP Vances wishes.
Vance being involved the next four years without conflict with Trump will show Vances potential to run and be elected in 2028.
I seem to remember Pence turning into a POS early on during Trump 1.0.

That was my take away too. It was a darn good moment. “I’m with the Vice President”. That is the type of leadership we need.

No. He said them. It's just we don't give a shit any more. We're no longer playing their game.

He said "You could not pay me to marry outside of my ethnicity". I don't understand how that's racist.

That's like being called sexist for saying "you couldn't pay me to bang another dude". Everybody has their preferences. Who cares.

President Trump fired the Chairman of the Kennedy Center, replaced some members of the Board of Trustees, basically taking over the center.

Right, a1abdj: EVERYONE discriminates.
When you go on a date, it's with one person and not another. It's discrimination.
The phrase "He has discriminating taste" used to be considered a compliment.
Individuals and private organizations are free to discriminate. Government should treat everyone equally before the law. We've lost that distinction.

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

I don't think there'll be any surprises since the DoD goes through audits annually, in fact the Marine Corps passed its audit for the second consecutive year.

What will be revealed or, given more spotlight, is the waste in capitol and various programs that were grossly mismanaged by the respective services. US Navy ‘wasted’ $1.8 billion on cruiser modernization program: Report is one egregious example. A deeper look into the Navy, will show every single major program and ship build project are all over 2-4 years behind schedule, then there's the issues of maintenance and how the Navy possibly misled Congress with how it was managing its amphibious fleet, resulting in delayed Marine deployments.


DoD as a whole has failed the last seven audits. From Forbes link Having utilized the Army acquisition process, worked CERP overseas and actual done the cybersecurity portion of an Army/DoD audit. I suspect that Elon and team will find lots of "irregularities" and inefficiencies.

Waste, Fraud and Abuse is visible if you know where to look.

I say this because Ol’ DementiaJoe won’t read the materials, someone else, like darling son or loving wife, or even some aide/Secretary.

I want nothing bearing any classification marking or even an FOIA or legal restriction on it anywhere near those fucking crooks.


I’m wondering if Obama still gets these briefings…

I'm seeing talk of Elon Musk spending his own money on several commercials showing the waste they have found with DOGE

This fundraiser chick is seriously over-exposed. It seems she being interviewed on TV every week. She was on Fox last week because she also witnessed the plane crash in Philly.

Workers will now have until Monday to accept the deal, giving more time to weigh the unusual offer.

A federal judge on Thursday extended the deadline for federal workers to accept the Trump administration’s sweeping buyout offer.

The court will weigh the merits of the bid to block the offer in a Monday hearing.

The move comes as the government had set a Thursday deadline for federal workers to determine whether they wanted to take the deal — something they could do by simply replying “resign.”

Workers will now have until Monday to accept the deal, giving more time to weigh the unusual offer.

It’s one that faces numerous legal and logistical challenges.

The buyouts promise employees eight months of pay and benefits in exchange for leaving the federal workforce, telling workers they would be off the hook for showing up to work and would be free to get another job.

But numerous provisions in the contract for the offer undercut those claims, saying employees could still have to work and may be barred from outside employment.

And while the Trump administration assured workers they would be paid regardless of federal funding set to lapse in March, the contract bars employees from nearly all forms of recourse to challenge any issues with the offer.

****

My daughter is one of these employees wrestling with this decision. She and her husband were both Navy. He went to the Navy post-grad school in Monterey, CA. My daughter was discharged from the Navy while they were in Monterey, CA. She took a job in Monterey, CA. with Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC)

After graduation, he was sent to the Navy personnel center in Millington, TN. She has been working remote for FNMOC for the last 6 years. It's a tiny agency.

Now, it's decision time. Take the buyout offer, move her family to Monterey by April 30, or seek some sort of exemption. Her boss really wants to keep her and asks her not to take the buyout. Her husbands job remains in Millington, TN.
