Every, single alarm in my brain is firing when I listen to someone like Miller. He get's emotionally angry when questioned about the simplest of things here. https://www.cnn.com/2025/02/18/politics/video/doge-leader-elon-musk-stephen-miller-trump-white-house-digvid There's more to this interview but I can't find it its entirety. Miller gets physically angry when questioned about DOGE and goes on a tirade. I apologize for not having the interview in its entirety.

We are in agreement. I think waste is a good thing to locate, I am fairly certain that isn't what DOGE is doing. We won't know fully for several months and maybe not until next year. The consequences of this will have effects that are still not felt.

Tbh, I don't think Trump will defend Poland or all NATO countries. I think that could be part of the negotiations. "Hey, you can take Poland and the Balkans and we'll stay out of it as long as we get our rare earth minerals."

They along with the rest of the world basically, put massive sanctions on Russia which has had large impacts on their economy. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60125659 I believe you are saying Russia should be rewarded or at least your attitude seems to be "oh well, sucks for them but wrap it up" Trump is the first world leader of note to speak with Putin since his invasion began. Again, what do you want Trump to do? Accept where-ever the front is now and say "okay Putin, you can keep all that territory and cut us in for half the rare earth minerals and we are good"? because that is where we are headed. That gives Putin the time and space he wants to invade further west, such as Poland. I would bet he gets a concession from Trump that he won't backup NATO considering the rumor that withdrawing troops from the Balkans has already been heavily rumored.

Working with an aggressor to divide up the country they invaded and steal it from the ppl who live there is neither Democratic or what America should stand for. What should they have done?

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/doge/top-social-security-official-steps-disagreement-doge-sensitive-data-rcna192530 Explain to me why Elon Musk, a man I did not elect and has no Senate confirmation, is allowed to access my personal information. It isn't about government efficiency, it is about data mining and silencing critics. We are not on the cusp of a crisis, we are in free fall in the middle of a crisis.

See, it's about money and resources. That's why the European and Ukrainian delegates weren't invited.

Michael Misa in the OHL this year. He is 1st in points with 108, the 2nd guy is Nick Lardis with 96. He is 1st in ppg with 2.12, the 2nd guy is Porter Martone at 1.86 (technically Igor Chernyshov, also on Saginaw, is first at 3ppg but he only has 9games) He is 2nd in goals with 52 to Nick Lardis who has 57. The 3rd place guy is Liam Greentree at 38. He is 5th in +/- at +43 with the top guy being +48 and the 2nd place being +45... so he's really close. He is currently 5th in ppg for all draft eligible OHL players from 2005 to present. He is currently in 4th in goals for all draft eligible OHL players from 2005 to present and tied with Jack Quinn (in 10 less games). He has only 51 games played so he still has another month of goal scoring to take a run at Pat Kane's 62hoals from the 2006-2007 season. He is 21st in assists for the OHL from 2005 to present for draft eligible with 56a to date. I would expect this number to climb because he gets Chernyshov as a linemate. He is 28pts better than the 2nd guy on his team in points and 25 more goals than 2nd place. Final sidenote: Kristian Epperson is one of Misa's linemataes. He is an overager that will turn 19 in May. He's a 6' LW that I would be willing to take a swing on in a later round.

It is interesting how many IT firms are in that list that lost gov funding. I will wait to see this info analyzed and to see where this money ends up because taking it from here is one thing, where does it go is another. I think the other thing that is hard to tell right now is how much of an impact some of these cuts will have, I don't think you can label all of this as "waste" when the details on some of them are minimal.

This will get some flak I think but... Jacob Bryson is a more consistent and effective defender at this point. Samuelsson should be traded both because of his play and because this group cannot stay together.

It's a grift.

Id bet money they used AI to compile their lists. They are too lazy and uncaring to do it any other way.

Musk can claim whatever he wants, but until we see the receipts of what is actually going on, I wouldn't believe him if he told me good morning.

Rumblings around the internet that Trump will concede to pull US forces out of the Balkans while there is also evidence that Putin plans to advance further west than Ukraine. Trump is currently employing the same poor negotiating tactic he used with the Taliban, where he starts by giving a bunch of stuff and then has no more leverage. My best guess is that Trump won't get the 50% concession for rare earth minerals from Zelensky so he will instead agree to Putin's demands in order to get some sort of concession the mineral rights. The rare earth minerals and natural resources are really what Trump and Musk are after.

We need to split this off. Trump told Zelensky he would send troops to Ukraine if Zelensky turned over rights to 50% of the rare earth minerals Ukraine possesses. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-officials-us-owning-half-ukraine-rare-earth-minerals-rcna192325 Zelensky has declined. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/zelenskyy-tells-aides-reject-trump-pitch-ukraine-mineral-reserves-rcna192426 On top of that, European Leaders are having an emergency meeting because Trump is making deals with Putin without any input. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/european-macron-paris-trump-ukraine-zelenskyy-putin-war-peace-rcna192437

They are about to have every single tax document and ssn of every American in the United States. How that helps them with government waste is... well it doesn't. This isn't about waste it is about data mining and business profits. Musk wants leverage and insider info to get ahead and make more money because his insatiable greed is all consuming. Cutting programs he doesn't agree with along the way is just a bonus. They will cut what they don't like and funnel that money into things like Musk getting a deal for 400million worth of electric armored vehicles, something Tesla does not build currently.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/trump-border-czar-tom-homan-calls-eric-adams-quid-quo-allegation-ridic-rcna192403 If you comply with Trump, just like any good mob boss, he will shield you from consequences as long as it suits his purposes.

Love summit, they're great. I don't have child there but they're great.

Hagens at 3 (although, I think it's trending that way) Desnoyers at 5. Mrtka at 8. Carbonneau at 10. All 3 are higher than anywhere else. Mrtka Ave Carbonneau by a bit. Personally I think Bear is better than Desnoyers but I only see bits and pieces.

Meanwhile Trump is wasting millions in tax payer money so he can literally drive in circles:

This program was cut because trump and Musk are to stupid to understand that words only have meaning in context: This isn't just wrong, it's evil.
