@Soothfast saidVery true. Joe Biden "The Ol' Warhorse" did a fantastic job, compared to expectations. π
I can't think of any progressive, myself included, that had high hopes for Biden's presidency. It was just a relief to have a sane man in the Oval Office again, and not a spray-tanned clown.
Time will tell whether Trump's "presidency" is falling apart. I'm not going to argue with you about what the future holds, as you clearly still have your orange-tinted glasses on.
This Pretendership seems intent on pissing people off, driving the country into recession, raising prices, scaring allies, and cutting "waste" - of which they are not sure what it is, but if they eventually find some, they will definitely know. π
@spruce112358 saidI expect "fraud" will be found to the tune of billions—but wouldn't you know it, the money was funneled to "recipients unknown," and some months later everyone in the White House will have a new yacht, private jet, and gold-plated teeth.

@AverageJoe1 saidIt would be fine IF that were what he is doing. Would you not agree that he lies nearly ALL the time?
Why would ANY person be faulted for trying to find waste, fraud and abuse, which he campaigned on, and which he was elected for?
WHY can you not answer this question??
WHY can you not answer the question??
People are watching. One of you writes me a PM , saying I make good points but they are uncomfortable admitting it. Admitting it to whom???
He's not looking for fraud and inefficiency, he's looking for people with whom to have retribution. By reducing the work force at all federal agencies to less than the minimum number required to fulfill their missions, he is setting up his own administration for failure. Unless he plans to fill these posts with toadies. And white toadies for sure.
Whatever happened to filling jobs with the best qualified?
He just fired all the best qualified. Duhhh.
And judging by his dismal approval rating numbers, he'll be looking for a lot more retribution before this is all over.
@wildgrass saidSure he does.
Trump has no policies.
It's called Project 2025. It was written for him. It's a government-by-the-numbers coloring book.
@AverageJoe1 saidThe Constitution does not say that the President is a dictator. It mentions checks and balances, which Trump is trying to destroy.
There is certainly a basis for what you say, that people without requisite experience should not be in charge of projects requiring said experience. But , It is a stretch for you to stir things up by saying they don't know what 'waste' is???Oh, please. My granny would say that giving money to the Green deal ($2B) without proper oversight by government authority is in it ...[text shortened]... ident OK, which he has the right to do, ....Even the Constitution says that, if I may repeat myself.
Why do you hate America?
@AverageJoe1 saidBecause he's black.
We are not talking about ‘how the govt spends money’. Apologies if I implied that somewhere. Even my Aunt Melon knows Congress has to approve expenditures of money. She learned that when she heard that Biden tried to go around Congress to pay the loans of people that had graduated from college….. It took SCOTUS to straighten his ass out.
You have certainly got to ...[text shortened]... g the security of our country. What a total horrible person. He should be put in jail in my opinion.
What a sweet guy you are.
@AverageJoe1 saidBetter than Trump using it to play golf at his own golf clubs, thus laundering it right back to himself.
What do you think they should do, though? Take the $2 billion that I mentioned that Stacey Abrams in Georgia was given. Marauder recently said that musk is not experienced enough to do what he is doing. Do you think Stacey Abrams is experienced enough to handle $2 billion? I’m just asking, although I know you will not answer that. You never answer anything. You just make un funny quips like sueann does and leave it at that. Weird.
@sonhouse saidJust business (!) as usual.
Ah, so THAT explains why he just fired a REALLY great 4 star general as Joint Chief of staff, happens to be black and replacing him with a dodo 3 star with ZERO experience in the top job but he is white and swears loyalty to Trump.
So the purges are already reaching the military.
His violent army of pardoned felons are already giving death threats to judges, threats to the ...[text shortened]... ator. We don't quite know just yet whether that dictator will be Trump or the acting president Musk.
@Earl-of-Trumps saidYour whataboutisms don't really mean much.
@Soothfast
and you say this like Trump's presidency is galling apart. criminy.
did jolting joe ever have his share of groups that were against him? of course he did.

Let's deal with the crisis in front of us first, eh?
Do we have to impeach him a couple more times?
@AverageJoe1 saidI hear he replaced him with a still-wet-behind-the-ears three star... who is white.
I just saw your first line about the woke general. That was enough for me to tell you he was fired for that reason, that he is woke. There are memorandum showing that he wanted to have less white people and more diversification. Are you going to tell me that he should still be working there having made such a horrible, horrible decision? You will not answer this question. ...[text shortened]...
And please don’t tell us what Black has to do with it, because it would fall flat on its face.
Whatever happened to hiring the best-qualified?

Crisis... what crisis? I haven't had this much fun since Trump beat Hillary.
You're in the wrong side of history, sister
@Earl-of-Trumps saidTell me that after his opportunistic electorate (not his hard-core, they'll be idiots forever) abandons him due to his batsh-t crazy policies and his obvious racism.

@AverageJoe1 saidYeah, a dude who missed military service because of a what, bad back? And now you know how a dude got to be a 4 star general and Joint chief of staff.

And replaced by a 3 star white dude who just says I kiss your ring King Trump.
You don't know S H I T about the military so stop pretending you do.
It must be really hard to be such a contortionist you can stick your head up your own ass for months on end. Can't hear about the deterioration of the US by Trump that way. Bit smelly though.
@Suzianne saidThis one says that it is better to give the 350lb woman in Georgia, (who is a proven loser by its citizens), $2billion to spread around to herself, first class, etc as she visits the 'Climate-torn' venues to slam our country????
Better than Trump using it to play golf at his own golf clubs, thus laundering it right back to himself.
Suzianne is saying this. Read her posts. Y'all are an angry mob. I am going to play golf now.
