  1. Because Trump is a petty and vengeful man?
  2. Do you know is states have the discretion to not enforce federal laws? I don't know. Personally, I think as long as states don't actively impede federal agencies from doing their job. The whole thing sucks. Interesting times.
  3. Our political system is *****. The two parties cannot keep going to war with each other.
  4. Tulsi Gabbard was confirmed today.
  5. I watched the hearing on CSPAN3. Did not learn anything, very disappointed. There were four witnesses there, three pro DOGE, one anti-DOGE, not many questions asked of them, mostly grandstanding. We have some congressmen, and women, that are truly pathetic. It's sad that these are the people we elected to govern us.
  6. It's all dependent on what's in your medical records. Many soldiers don't like going to sick call because there's a stigma attached to it. Also, the process of getting a sick call slip signed, getting to sick call and waiting in line could take the whole morning, too much hassle for some.
  7. Agreed. I'd guess a 50/50 split between the parties on corruption.
  8. I don't know if all these congressmen in the video are lying. I suppose they could be, hopefully we learn something from tomorrow's hearings.
  9. Everything @DOGE does will be published for the world to see. Let the public judge for themselves.
  10. This can't end well...
  11. This is interesting, I wonder how it plays out on appeal.
  12. I didn't mean to trigger your TDS. pace yourself, it's going to be a long four years.
  13. I agree with everything you said. I'm astonished his approval rating is so high, and I wonder what it represents, if anything.
  14. I share your concerns. I did read something in there about rewriting some of the language, so maybe it's not being scrapped altogether? Scrapping it seems batshit crazy, even for Trump. I can't believe his approval rating is so high.
  15. Thank you for correcting me on the bolded Weave. Also, I appreciate the civil discussion.
  16. This is a fair question. I honestly don't know. All I could do is guess, and any guess from me on this would be *****. It seems a very reasonable question though, hopefully someone will ask in during the hearing.
  17. I understand where you're coming from and share some of your concerns. I'm also concerned about the power grab. I keep going back to the birthright citizenship, it was unconstitutional and was quickly shut down. Musk still going strong gives me doubt on whether he/Trump are violating the constitution. I think more likely than not probably, but the stark contrast between DOGE and B.C. gives me pause. Politicians on both sides of the aisle have told us many lies over the last decade so I'm skeptical of anything any of them say. It may turn out to be the constitutional crisis you think, I won't argue against it, I'm just not there yet.
  18. You know what I find interesting? People want to talk about how evil Musk is, what's his REAL motives, is what he's doing even legal. No one wants to talk about all the fraud, waste and a use he claims to have found. Why is that?
  19. We had Trump four years, we knew what we were getting. The Biden/Harris administration was so bad the country said we don't want Harris, let's try Trump again.

  21. Thank you for asking Weave. In general I like the idea of USAID being audited. Musk claims to have found much waste and abuse, possibly corruption. Obviously I can't know the truthfulness of his claims. I'm hoping the hearings on Wednesday will be broadcast on C-SPAN, I am interested in seeing them. I question if the way they are going about it is legal, my hunch is it is not but I have no idea. My opinion is that Musk is attempting to be transparent on what he's finding with the constantly updated website and the never ending tweets. YMMV on that. From what he claims to uncovered I see alot of things I personally don't want my tax dollars going to. Again, YMMV on that and I don't fault anyone for having different views than myself. These are interesting times. What Musk is doing is unprecedented and I find myself captivated by it. I'm very curious to see how it plays out. Will the ends justify the means? That may depend on which side of the political aisle you're on, but none the less it's interesting.
  22. I would expect that luxury hotel will be receiving a visit from ICE
