In his first term, the more rabid of Dear Leaser’s supporters were frustrated that he wasn’t delivering on their expectations that he would do something about immigration and clearing out the swamp.

Well, this time he’s delivered (because adults aren’t in the room to stop him).

Yeah. And watching the US become stupid like this is making me lean more ‘liberal’ than I’ve ever been. I’m starting to get comfortable with the idea that as a country, I’m OK if the Canadian gov’t becomes more known for being compassionate. Whatever that means. I’m OK with not having a country filled with anger and hatred against everyone and instead quite the opposite.

That’s OK. I ran into a cancer survivor who thinks ivermectin cured two people she knows with cancer and should be used more for cancer, despite declaring a dislike of pharmaceuticals and pharmcos. I did point out ivermectin is, in fact, a drug, made by drug companies. She can’t be all wrong, since she complimented my hair :laughing:.

so what happened to my $5K? Is it coming soon?

Isn’t that why X was sold to xAI? Because the loans were in jeopardy of being called because the collateral value was at risk of being insufficient?

Yeah, but the workers losing their jobs work for the federal government, so we don’t worry about them (and they are probably Ds as well).

maybe trump will leave too?

Hahahaahajajaahhajjahaahahahhaaha!

The rule is …

SGEs are limited to working for the government for no more than 130 days out of a 365-day period, though they can work multiple years,

but, who cares about rules?
