Markets are mostly back to where they were on Inauguration Day so that takes care of investors and corporate leaders. If you took a survey of them, they would be happier with no CFPB, lax regulations, lower future taxes and an easily persuadable (corrupt) executive branch. If you think educators are mostly Trump supporters, I don’t know what to tell you.  
 

I think farmers, small business people and some outdoorsman might be affected, but I think that Trump did a good job of bailing out farmers and businesses in his last administration. Oh and what did the farmers do after the last time Trump fucked them over? That’s right, they voted for Trump again. 

 

Corporate leaders are having to make significant moves at significant cost due to tariffs with zero confidence their moves will be correct because donnie2dolls is unpredictable. I spoke with our CEO about this a week ago.

Farmers care about pronouns and foxnews until tgey buy seed and pesticides. They will hurt. They’re not that stupid.

I just attended my nephew’s graduation at ou business college. The president of the college was all about pure unfiltered capitalism. Perhaps the exception but my wife got her MBA at smu, and one of the teachers was in charge of the dallas branch of the fed. I suspect he leans riggt. I’ve been to three smu badketball ganes. W has attended courtside at two of them and got standing ovations at both. Tell me again how educators are exclusively liberal. I never said mostly. Put your strawman away.

That’s a lot of anecdotal evidence. Which was my original point of why I hated the thread. 

There is an easy solution for that. Don’t click on the thread.

Oh he's had an explanation given to him plenty of times, he just refuses to accept it. People have told him that everything he believes is wrong and that Fox News just lies to him but it would break his brain to acknowledge it. 

Plenty of people like him. He cares more about keeping the minorities and gays down and making sure that America is super tough guy number 1 just like he is. He'll take a financial hit to make sure those other things are at the top of the list. 

In other words, he's a giant piece of human garbage.

Paraphrasing my favorite quote from Tinker Tailer spy thriller when describing his adversary at the KGB…

The main weakness of a fanatic is that they’re always hiding a secret doubt.

All people in the world will suffer with the degradation of modern liberalism in major nations. The magats will suffer the worst since they are generally poorer and less educated. Their thought process and logic will be warped and they’ll make worse and worse decisions as they stumble their way around the world.

as far as AF-1 goes, this is an extremely low-hour plane, is it not?  Major airlines and freight companies run these things for several hours a day...this thing goes unused for days/weeks at a time.

When flying with the President, Air Force One rarely flies alone. It is often accompanied by a fleet of aircraft that can include the back-up VC-25, cargo aircraft, and tankers.

Senator Chris Murphy was saying how the brazen corruption of the AF1 nonsense is breaking through to voters.  I don't see it at all.  It will be forgotten next week.

If that were true, we would be seeing calls for impeachment and removal. I'm not hearing that.

There's some backbencher Michigan Dem with funny hair or a toupee who's been pushing for impeachment (re: immigration & the plane stuff), but he backed off because Dems in the leadership told him it was bad politics.

With so many "Trump fucked you over" executive orders and other shenanigans, which one will the dems use as "private email server" or Bengazi as their attack?

 

That was a rhetorical question. None of them. Because they're the worst at messaging.

TxDOT employees can’t be taken out to lunch. They refuse and it’s against policy to accept any gifts.

I made a joke about this in a sense saying maybe they could be given a plane.

A coworker didn’t get it. So I explained that Trump was getting a plane from Qatar as a gift and that he’d keep it when he left office

This obviously the first time they had heard about this. And they sensed that I didn’t approve.

Their response:

”Well if they are going to give it to him, why wouldn’t he take it?”

Me: [Stunned] He wants to keep it for himself.

Them: it’s his gift.

Me: That’s not allowed.

Them: why not.

Me: The Constitution 

Them: [Shrugs]

I'll bet my life's savings they know every single thing Hunter Biden ever did.

More on the Kid Rock restaurant.

Quote

Downtown kitchens shuttered over the weekend to avoid immigration agents in at least three locations owned by conservative restaurateur Steve Smith. 

Smith, the wealthy owner of Broadway establishments including Tootsie’s Orchid Lounge and Rippy’s, has been a public conservative presence in Nashville, notably mounting local opposition to COVID-related restrictions on public gatherings. He's also a Trump supporter and donor. Recent panic at his restaurants indicates that his own Broadway empire — and the wealth it has generated — relies directly on employing immigrants not authorized to work in the United States.

 

Quote

At the instruction of managers, restaurant employees without legal citizenship status left the premises at The Diner, Honky Tonk Central and Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse during a primetime rush on Saturday night to avoid detention by ICE agents. Locations, already struggling to provide full service, suffered through at least Sunday due to fears from employees who did not want to risk arrest by returning to work.  

“We were already understaffed because of the ICE raids throughout the weekend,” an employee, who asked to remain anonymous to avoid retaliation, tells the Scene. "Then, around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, our manager came back and told anyone without legal status to go home. Events at the Ryman, Ascend, the Savannah Bananas’ baseball game all let out, and it was crazy busy. But there was no one in the kitchen to cook the food.” 

 

Spoiler

Employees do not know if Smith, who could not be reached for comment, was directly consulted. In recent days, many restaurant employees have chosen to call out and stay home with family rather than risk detention in transit. This has prompted managers throughout the city to coordinate transportation for immigrant employees, including at Smith’s downtown locations.

State troopers and unmarked ICE vehicles dramatically increased nightly traffic stops on May 3 in South Nashville, where the joint operation has resulted in at least 196 arrests by ICE agents. These arrests included 101 individuals with no criminal history, contradicting Trump administration claims that immigration enforcement has been targeted toward violent criminals. Less than half had any recorded criminal history at all; a DHS press release confirmed that four had previously been involved in violent crime.

Trump and former South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, his pick to lead DHS, have publicly praised hurried deportations that include legal residents and appear politically targeted. 

The joint operations have drawn pushback from community groups, the mayor, Metro councilmembers and Nashville’s immigrants, who have continued to rally and organize against ICE. Lead Metro attorney Wally Dietz recently told reporters that the city is "powerless" to stop immigration enforcement activity by the state and federal governments.

A message to management at The Diner was not immediately returned.

Nope. He says he wants all undocumented workers deported but then helps the ones he employs evade law enforcement so his business isn't hurt. What Brisket said still applies.

Yup.  Remember how all the MAGAs, including their very own AG Biondi, said "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW!" when they had a sitting judge arrested in the courthouse?  Golly gee, I do.  Turns out, that needs to be modified to "no one is above the law...unless of course, you're MAGA, in which case you will not be arrested or prosecuted, and if you ever were, you'll be pardoned."

"Laws for Thee and Not for Me" might as well be inscribed in the stone at the top of the Justice Dept HQ:

I've officially given up. 

This authoritarianism is 100 percent going to happen. We're going to continue to get screwed over more and more, the brainwashed will continue to justify and rationalize all of it, and everything will get worse day by day until the breaking point where it devolves into mass violence by the authoritarian dictatorship against the people or the brainwashed against their fellow citizens. America's scientists and researchers are fleeing in droves and will only increase the drain

Democrat leadership isn't interesting in fighting it. They want to keep pretending it's 1976 and business as usual.

I am at that same place in this moment. Hopefully the future will gift us with time for reflection, and not obliteration. I could see it going either way.

There’s some comfort for me in knowing that this was most likely inevitable when you look at history. I would have liked to not have it happen in my lifetime in my country, but alas. Humans gonna human.

I'm reminded of the Arts and Sausages absurdist campaign back in the 70s on campus. Jay Adkins and Skip Slyfield ran for President and VP of student government. They won by sending up how worthless the whole thing was and how it was just a resume padder for whoever won.

They were pretty brilliant. The one change they promised should they win was replacing the Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free with Money Talks.
