    They have all but destroyed education and any critical thinking skills that are associated with it to make some drones. Same for why the dipshits keep voting for longterm incompetents in Texas who have enriched themselves and created a local oligarchy off the people of Texas while blaming the everyone who isn't in decision making (and short-term) roles.   

    The gop has been in total control of Texas government for what? 30 years yet the entire time they have been claiming they are going to fix everything that the dems have broken the entire time. It is beyond reality. This was the case study. We really have a shitload of people who are not capable of simple critical thought. At some point you have to realize you are being duped, but it is easier to just dig in I guess.

  2. This might be the most impressive self owning thread I have seen since rocko posted a paystub. This is where we are. I would laugh if it wasn't so goddamn sad. Now imagine 70 million of these idiots stealing our air while voting for a felon.

    You are really overwhelming this thread with quality content. Seek help. Seriously. 

    What is going to happen:

    People take the bait. They will never see the payout. Elon knows they can't afford to fight the government with their limitless resources and SC in the bag. 

    They are now on a list. They can get hired somewhere, maybe.

    The purpose of the impact is to cripple every agency. Needed or not needed, it doesn't matter. They will show how inept the government is with this self fulfilling prophecy. Fox news will parrot the cost savings while ignoring that the top 0.1%  paying their fair share could pay for all of these folks to work every year and all the social net programs.

    People will suffer. That is the feature. Isolate folks as much as you can. The very same folks will pump propaganda into their socials. All of the people that left don't deserve shit because they are lazy. Nobody lives outside their algorithm so it will work.  

    In the end, there will be some people you and I don't see that will suffer and we will post on Surly.  I will at least say some random shit while you post bullshit what about this. No real substance. I am very much OK. You are very much not.

    Are you ok?

    Incapable of taking any sort of stand on anything political while taking a thinly veiled stand on every political subject.

    So you are just a bot posting current events. Thanks!

    You have juevos the size of deer shit. Post less.

    Lol. What are you whining about? I am not going to project the long term outcomes, but I think that there is lots of fat to trim in the federal workforce. I am not sure that dangling a fat severance package is the best way to do it. I’ve seen it in the private sector and my observations have been that those with good alternative options know it and snap take the package. 
     

     

    So nothing. As usual you just waste bandwidth with no actual take. Right on man. Post less.

    My wife, a fed, pointed out two things:

    -the maximum legal buyout for a federal employee is $25,000, and...

    -there is no money budgeted for the federal government through September 30.  The government is working on a CR that will expire in March. So, legally, money cannot be promised or committed by the administration through that date, because once again, Congress controls the purse.

     

     

     

     

    I want to also point out that we have folks in govt now with a track record of not paying people they owe or promise payment. It would be risky.

     

    @Anastasis nice response to a question. You said a whole bunch of nothing. I know this is your MO, but you started the topic. Post something of some substance and tell us why or why not you think this is a good idea. 

     

    I will give you a prompt:

    What do you think the long term effects of this will be? You mentioned brain drain, have you seen this happen recently with a country? Are there any countries that have tried to tie loyalty to the leader to their job with the government? What were the results? What type of philosophy would you classify that ruling party as aligning with? Lastly, do you think America is better or worse with free thought and discussion, dissenting or otherwise?

    I think there are enough people who are going to suffer who voted the right way to keep all of us busy.  

    Oh everyone will suffer. Myself included. I just don't give a shit anymore and I am a cockroach. I will be fine. I can abscond to a place none of this impacts me. I don't want to, I voted/donated several times to prevent it, you can only do so much. Suffering is the great equalizer.

    I think that topically oriented threads are superior to the meta threads like Trump's America that just end up with a bunch of drive by "discussion" around the topic of the day. Allows those so inclined to dig into specific topics. If the topic is not of interest to you to discuss, you don't have to post in the thread. Pretty simple discussion board stuff. 

    What is your opinion on this action. Do you think it will benefit the country as a whole? 

  9. Man that is tough. I lost my father at 18 and don't think I will ever be over it. Great reflection and tribute.  You are lucky to have had him for the time you did, despite anything that may have caused friction. You know as a father that he did his best. RIP. I hope you and your family can find peace.

    I love wasting my time on these boards, but the vile pieces of shit that are doing Trumpian bidding sure are making it easy to consider spending more time in contemplation and actual engagement in service on behalf of the least of our brothers.  

    Give it a few weeks when it actually hits them. They will all suffer and then try to make you feel sorry for them. It is astounding how many of them didn't read the doctrine and are now just taken aback. I read it and thought, I really really don't like it and it will effectively end America, but I will survive. I feel dumb trying to fight for those that will suffer only to have them call me stupid all while I was trying to help them. Sometimes you have to let your kids touch the stove.

    Somewhere in that doctrine I read they will do away with all farm subsidies. If that drops, shit will get real for a huge cross-section of maga. That is when I believe they really start tearing each other into fragmented factions. 

    Well shit, this is how stupid I am. I never even put two and two together that this is exactly what was done. Pausing all federal grants...etc.. just cut all funding to farmers. It has been a long day. I doubt the farmers realized this when the scroll went by their fox news feed. Deport their labor force, cut their subsidies right before you need to buy seed and fertilizer for the spring planting season. Hahahha

    We will see how long the Judge ruling holds up.

    I care to the extent I don't anyone to die, or suffer, nor do I want their families and children to suffer. Contrary to my general demeanor on this board of assholes, I actually want people to be healthy, happy, and prosperous. If crossed a line of sharing between forums, I legitimately apologize. It's kind of difficult when you've been doing this board thing for decades to remember where exactly you read something, and the context from which it was given. I'm sorry. 

    Well, I am not sure where or what he shared in confidence with you but I knew everything you posted. I eluded to it in my original response to him and tried to have grace as it is tough stuff. I just lost my best friend to renal failure. Now we talk about reality, people were delicate and asking him to defend an indefensible position and he reacts predictably calling names. Then predictably pandering for sympathy. Don't fall for it. I just went through this with my best friend who I grew up with and love like a brother. He lashed out at me when I told him like it was about his condition. Sadly, mixing in dug in political positions with his situation, it won't end well. He put everything out there and we are under no obligation to give him a pass or feel bad when he acts fully out of pocket. I don't wish ill toward him but I have zero respect for his position and I am not going to feel sorry for the predicament he put himself in. Nor should you.

    This is a feature, not a bug. Fuck anyone who needs any help, it is the Project 2025 way (and most of these EOs were written by them)

    No, I’m talking about dropped balls. Not being a tard in the locker room. The broken hand thing.

    Gotcha. The things I have heard from someone behind the scenes in his camp would get certain threads riled to 11. I am just glad he found a place to thrive and everything at Texas is moving forward. Everyone is in a good place and we all win.

    Yea the season before he was Johntaying a little. 

    You couldn't be further from the truth.  He is who you see now. Things at Texas were not what the media says and he was injured that year. He is a boss.

  16. It is astonishing how completely ignorant of facts and quite frankly the ramifications of that ignorance these folks are. Their house could be on fire but conservative media told them not to leave. It is the libs trying to steal my house! Just fucking astounding.

    WTF are you howling about now you simp?  Do you seriously think undocumented workers are draining your Social Security benefits?

    I don't know what happened to you, but it ain't good.

    He is mad because he made dumbass decisions, got some bad breaks and started lamenting about it while binging right wing media. It had to be someone else's fault. Seen this shit 1000 times. Otherwise decent folk 10 years ago are souless cunts now.  This is where we are and it is the new normal.

    You are a fucking moron

    This. But he will figure out it isn't another dollar for eggs. He will not have SS and inflation is about to get out of control. But deport the brown people because it makes his small brain feel good about his absolute failure as a man/human. 

    You have posted for years about all sorts of shit that I would have expected you learned a lesson from @Spankytoes but it is clear you didn't learn a damn thing.

    Hope you have a garden and a couple thousand acres to hunt protein. Good luck.

    Will never root for the Eagles. Plus, Chiefs have a couple of Longhorns. 
     

    I hope Worthy has 150 yards and 3 TD’s, and Charles O sacks hurts 4 times. 

    Philly has a pretty good Horn as well. I am just rooting for them all to make money.
