K-9

Östlund with the OT winner to get the Amerks back on track. 4-3 over Utica

Farcical.

Pro wrestling in Montreal.

Speaking of measles, this may be a microcosm of what may be in store with the lying RFK Jr. calling the shots on public health policy. https://apple.news/AkspdFboOTa6XdWWG87F98w

I’d laugh if it weren’t so phucking serious.

Of course people isolated. I never said they didn’t. For some reason, you keep insisting on making this about covid, while I am simply making the point that under this new regime, vital public health information will be limited, if made available in the first place. We saw a huge indication of that yesterday with the dismissal of key personnel at the CDC.

One would think Congress would have enough members with integrity not to let him do that, but then again, the GOP in Congress don’t know the meaning of the word anymore.

Our only hope is that our military men and women, of all ranks, insist on keeping their first oath to the Constitution and have the courage and fortitude to counterman illegal orders as is their responsibility. Because it couldn’t be more obvious that we are headed for trouble with the current leadership in this country and we will need them to intervene on our behalf sooner or later.

Trump is one bitter mother phucker. He and his fascist henchmen continue to make us and the rest of the world unsafe.

Nobody has ever accused dems, especially California dems, of not being totally clueless at times. That said, there is legitimate concern about non criminals getting swept up as well. Illegally entering our country can be either a felony or misdemeanor, depending on whether it’s a first offense or not. And we’ve already seen ICE raids that have mistakenly targeted US citizens already. I mean some Karen alerted officials because a lady, a US citizen, was speaking Spanish for crissakes.

IMO, we cannot give back enough to veterans and their families. So I hope as you do that these new policies don’t impact you and others who’ve more than earned our support. But I’m not certain that these new policies won’t hurt veterans in some way, shape or form, regardless. Nor can I just ignore that 30% of the federal government workforce is comprised of veterans. There are 2.4 million federal workers and that 30% represents 720,000 employees who are veterans. I hope the Trump/DOGE cuts in staffing across the federal workforce doesn’t impact them too severely.

Caved? Please show me where Newsom ever disagreed with deporting criminals. He’s disagreed with the dem legislature on this issue in the past. Caved? Hardly. More like stuck to his guns on the issue.

More than OK with it, I’d say. There’s a reason those times were referred to as The Velvet Revolution.

I implied no such thing. It is simply a fact that in high density populations, isolation is extremely difficult when it comes to super virulent pathogens. That fact has nothing to do with mandates at any level of government.

Sorry about the pay wall as I used my one free remaining article. It did not pertain to the Hiring Freeze EO of 1/20, only to the cuts and hiring freezes at the Dept. of Veterans Affairs targeted by DOGE and how that will impact veterans who depend on those vital services. IIRC, it mentioned a subsequent memo regarding the EO which said that any exemptions to the hiring freeze must be approved by the OPM and Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Our question for veterans, both active or not, should always be, “What more can we do for you and your families.” But Trump and Musk insist on doing less. Neither has a clue about the unique challenges veterans face. Shame on them. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/political-commentary/trump-musk-military-veterans-war-doge-1235266086/

Doesn’t matter because with Trump at the helm, we will only be a member of NATO in name only, if even that. His good buddy Putin says NATO is a “terrorist organization” after all.

It’s nice that some of us can just self-isolate. However, that is virtually impossible in high density populations when it comes to as virulent a kind of pathogen as SARS Cov 2 was. This administration will seek to censor any information and handcuff the organizations charged with public health policies.

It’s less about transparency than it is a giant one of these: By the most arrogant president and group of lackeys in out history.

I only caught the first period and I though both Karlsson and Hedman sucked; a train wreck of a D pairing. Did that continue the rest of the game?

Irony? Is that the new spelling for hypocrisy?

Nope, no waste here. The hypocrisy is laughable. Why do I doubt that Faux News and the other far right propaganda outlets will even bother to report it.
