  1. The number of posters here who are opposed to auditing/fine-tooth-combing federal spending is probably zero. It's just that sane people know that the way you do so is not "nuke everything and give 19 year old psychopaths full access to top secret materials."

  2. Yep. The myth of "government is just a bunch of people sucking on the taxpayer tit doing nothing" isn't just a myth, it's a flat-out lie. Our broad government apparatus is, metaphorically, the oil that greases our national engine. Let the following things fall apart: taxes/tax refunds, SS payments, Medicare/Medicaid processing, water infrastructure, streets and roads, emergency services, university financial aid apparatus, etc. etc.....and the engine will fucking seize up. I've mentioned it before, but through my work, I have gotten to know a lot of public sector employees in the public utility business -- water, sewer, electricity. Those people uniformly 1) are paid less than they would be in the private sector, 2) genuinely give a shit about their job and their mission, and bust their asses to make it happen (often with limited resources), and 3) are actually damned good at what they do. But to the "government bad!" people, they are all the mythical lazy clerk at the DMV, talking with his pals and mishandling paperwork while the line for a drivers license renewal goes out the door. It's a story that's been told so often, and so across the board, that the lie has swallowed the truth. Sure, there are shitty, lazy government employees....just like there are shitty, lazy employees EVERYWHERE. My guess is that the ratio is about the same. And sure, there are pointless/wasteful elements of government programs (a $500k grant to study sloths with erectile dysfunction or some shit), just like EVERY private enterprise of any size has wasteful processes and programs ("hey boss....why do we have 10 pallets of copy paper delivered every month? I looked, and that was an error input in the system 10 years ago, and nobody has bothered to question it.") All of these people hating on "the government" and "the administrative state" also yearn for the America of 1945-1985.....which was largely made possible by the very things they now hate. Just fucking stupid.

  3. That's pussy communist talk. It won't fly in the current era of "nobody knows more about [subject X] than me" and "I don't trust experts, I do my own research." I'm dead serious. We live in an era where we worship the silo of the individual, and denigrate/hate the idea of deferring to/listening to actual experts. Which blows me away, because I hire, listen to, and recommend that other people hire and listen to EXPERTS all the time. There are people who have devoted tens of thousands of hours to studying, understanding, and practicing the very thing you are wondering about. Smart people surround themselves with other smart people, and listen to them. That doesn't mean you do what they recommend 100% of the time; sometimes, you need someone to do some creative thinking, unbound by prior conceptions....but then you STILL need to run that creative idea through the experts. When you do, and they work it out, and say "sonofabitch, that really may work," then you have something. Other times, they'll say "yeah, we thought of that too, back in 1998, and ran the numbers -- here's why it doesn't work," or "that sounds good, but it fails to account for factor Z, which makes it fall apart," and they're right. But not today. Nope, today, every person is an expert in everything, and every other person is an idiot who you should ignore and hate. It only gets worse.

  5. Yes. Absolutely. Audit the Pentagon, go for it, good idea. Assign the task to a psychopath oligarch who is indisputably beholden to/friendly with multiple hostile foreign powers, necessarily granting him access to literally the most sensitive military and security information our government has.....NO GOOD, TERRIBLE, VERY BAD IDEA. Nobody is against the idea of scrubbing every nook and cranny of the government for spending waste/efficiency. Nobody sane is in favor of delegating the task to Elon fucking Musk and a band of his sociopathic fucking INTERNS WHO BARELY FUCKING SHAVE. The "who" of such things matters just as much as the "what." Fuck. That. Shit. I wouldn't trust Elon with my fucking library card number.

  7. If they cut 75% of the government workforce, millions of people hitting the job market will be the least of our worries, as systems start failing, people stop getting their SS checks, hospitals stop getting paid through Medicare/Medicaid/VA, and a whole host of other things.

  8. Just to make it perfectly clear, we have now fully and completely normalized, excused, and made okay, naked and shameless racism. There are no consequences, repercussions, or other negative impacts of being a complete racist piece of shit. The Vice President of the fucking United States actually said: "If" he's a bad dude. Here are things Elez ACTUALLY SAID, which in the eyes of VPOTUS, do NOT make him a bad dude, meaning that you can say these things and hold these positions, and you are a perfectly ok dude, in VPOTUS's eyes: Open and proud racism? You're an ok dude, and you should NOT be fired. But you know who VPOTUS and Elon think SHOULD be fired? The journalist who committed the following act: discovered that Elez said those things, and wrote an article about them. BEING a racist? A-ok. Pointing out actual things a racist said? NOT OK. FIRE HER. We're done. It's over. We are rapidly becoming the worst society we can be, and then getting even worse.

  11. anonymous letter from an fbi agent: Uncommon Sense was a Common Vice Those with knowledge of the United States Marine Corps will recognize the irony of this title. I wish its words were not true, but as I write this, I believe they are. Currently, there is an effort to cull a significant number of career Special Agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This is an unthinkable action that will gravely undermine the security of the nation well beyond what many of our citizens are aware. For those seeking to raise their awareness, I offer this vignette, free of political bias or moral judgment. It is not about any one person, but an amalgamation of multiple FBI Special Agents. I am the coach of your child’s soccer team. I sit next to you on occasion in religious devotion. I am a member of the PTA. With friends, you celebrated my birthday. I collected your mail and took out your trash while you were away from home. I played a round of golf with you. I am a veteran. I am the average neighbor in your community. This is who you see and know. However, there is a part of my life that is a mystery to you, and prompts a natural curiosity about my profession. This is the quiet side of me that you do not know: I orchestrated a clandestine operation to secure the release of an allied soldier held captive by the Taliban. I prevented an ISIS terrorist from boarding a commercial aircraft. I spent 3 months listening to phone intercepts in real time to gather evidence needed to dismantle a violent drug gang. I recruited a source to provide critical intelligence on Russian military activities in Africa. I rescued a citizen being tortured to near death by members of an Outlaw Motorcycle Gang. I interceded and stopped a juvenile planning to conduct a school shooting. I spent multiple years monitoring the activities of deep cover foreign intelligence officers, leading to their arrest and deportation. I endured extensive hardship to infiltrate a global child trafficking organization. I have been shot in the line of duty. Something else about me, I was assigned to investigate a potential crime. Like all previous cases I have investigated, this one met every legal standard of predication and procedure. Without bias, I upheld my oath to this country and the Constitution and collected the facts. I collected the facts in a manner to neither prove innocence nor guilt, but to arrive at resolution. I am now sitting in my home, listening to my children play and laugh in the backyard, oblivious to the prospect that their father may be fired in a few days. Fired for conducting a legally authorized investigation. Fired for doing the job that he was hired to do. I have to wonder, when I am gone, who will do the quiet work that is behind the facade of your average neighbor?

  12. People negatively impacted by something that is directly political - that leads to their personal lives being hurt - often remember that in a different way than someone voting to do things they don’t like, but does not negatively affect them. Shockingly, we are self-centered and selfish, and take harm to our family differently than harmed to other people. I remember some guy on an old Florida board who still hated Frank Borman because he did something to his dadβ€˜s employment at Eastern Airlines. I mean, like 30 years later, he was still raging at the man who harmed his family. My hope is that the horrible negative impact Trump’s policies have on many millions of people will bring about the same response. My biggest bitch right now is that we don’t have 30 second commercials by the Democratic national party describing 20 different ways in which Trump is fucking everybody with his current policies. The last line of each commercial is β€œif you had voted Democratic, your family would not be suffering like this.”

  14. I'm pretty convinced that the majority of Americans are more concerned with inflicting pain on cruelty on those they perceive to be "other" - immigrants, minorities, women, the woke liberal cabal, whoever - that they'd accept a degradation in their own standard of living so long as they still get to throw those downward punches. Look at the California farmers or Johnny Sack. Trump is a symptom, not a disease. We are a disgusting society.

  15. You crammed an incredible amount of utter bullshit into a short post. That's a feat. Fuck off, not going to waste my time rebutting the absolutely irrational and unsupportable conclusory bullshit you posted. Elon is a fucking evil sociopath, he has repeatedly done whatever China tells him to do/will give him advantage with respect to his businesses there, and he is "surveilled" by fucking who, exactly? He IS the US government now, and his conflicts of interest (see post above) are staggering. Zero vetting, just handed the keys to....everything. If fucking George Soros was handed the keys to literally every piece of sensitive and secret intel we have, you and everyone else would (rightly) be screaming about it. But Elon....he gets it all, with nary a peep of protest. Fuck off.

  21. β€œWhy do some British people not like Donald Trump?” Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response: "A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a sniveling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think β€˜Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: β€’ Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. β€’ You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: β€˜My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

  35. So...update on my dad. No one remembers. One post. It's fine. But prostate cancer. He really didn't want to get it removed because of the sides and was very hopeful about a different way to do it with a laser or hot water or something to cut the tumors out at the mayo clinic. Consults looked good but the labs came back not great. My dad was gutted. Asked the doc what he would do if it was his dad in the exact same scenario. Doc said he wouldn't hesitate to just get it cut out. So... Last Monday was surgery. Doc said it went great, apparently his anatomy is such that he has lots of room in his abdomen and there was basically zero risk of nerve damage and the prostate wasn't pushing pp against the bladder so doc felt like there really wouldn't be many side effects. Yanked the catheter on Wednesday and did scans. Pathology came back today and zero cancer. It never left the prostate. I had a good cry. God bless all of you dealing with this shit.

Give me somebody who has been voting for more than four years, who went through puberty more than a decade ago and who has known the intimate touch of a woman or a man, who has been to countries other than the USA and/or their homeland, who has paid taxes for more than 2-3 years, and who did not go from chatting with their dipshit gamer friends online and posting racist shit online to questioning actual experts who have been in the real world and in their respective fields longer than these dipshits have been alive, and whose boss does not rely on close ties to Communist China for some of his businesses. Finally, give me people who do not think putting all of the data of American citizens and government on the blockchain on the internet is a good solution to everything. For all of the bitching about Trump, what Musk is doing has the potential to bring our economy and our country to its knees, and surprise, surprise, people like Musk won’t be too affected - at the end of the day, he’s got his private security forces and jets and has access to other countries. Of course, if our economy collapses, it’s going to fuck up a lot of others countries. People like you are probably going to suffer a lot more than you think, and you don’t even realize.
