    “I’m sorry judge. I can’t get you the documents about the firing of staff because we fired too many of our staff” is a hell of a statement.

    Remember, this is happening under President Elon, who replaced X's team responding to media inquiries with an automated poop emoji...

    So dumb. But picture threw me off. It isn’t of the unit being deployed, 2/4INF out of Carson.

    I was worried they were pulling 3/2CAV out of Vilseck Germany which would have been scary for other reasons.

    Give Trump time. Our Russian friends can guarantee security in Central and Eastern Europe for us now. NATO is the real enemy.

    Kansas Senator flees half an hour early from a townhall meeting he specifically set in a town of 2k people (largest in county) in the far west of Kansas (deepest red part of the state) to try and get a favorable crowd.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oakley,_Kansas?wprov=sfti1#

    Now maybe I missed it but I don’t see a lot of pink haired non-binary baristas in that crowd.

    We’re only 5 weeks in and a lot of the pain hasn’t even hit yet but they are already cancelling and running from public engagements.

    Good news from the market: the Trump guys are pissed, and at Trump specifically because he's expanding Musk's authority.

    They're complaining to me about Trump. Unprompted. :lol:

    The question is, will it last until the next election, or will they revert to form as soon as they hear that there's a high school junior in the next county over who goes by they/them?

    Some additional context.

    Logan County went 85-13 to Trump in November.

    The last time they went D was FDR ‘32.

    These are the people chasing out R Senators, booing them and calling them cowards and saying they will vote them out.

    Indeed, and I'm curious to see how long it plays out. Can it hold until the midterms? Having a huge Democratic surge would be a bit more hopeful, assuming they don't just give in and concede every demand made of their Republican counterparts. If they did get into office and DID resist Republican shitfuckery, then that could buy everyone some breathing room to motivate the 2028 election in favor of, and I might be crazy for suggesting this, someone who isn't a raging fascist.

    Honestly, it is at this point that the Republicans seem to be used to being liked by their constituents, as if most people really believe in the idea of the US being a shining city on a hill. They're going back to their town halls and getting yelled at by people who voted for them, who are deep red MAGAs, and who are absolutely pissed, and I love that for them.

    Oh, and the guys at the market are now convinced Donald Trump this term is nothing like Donald Trump in his first term, and that something is not only wrong with him, but also his letting Musk run things shows he doesn't give a damn about Americans.

    Now, you know that, and I know that, but these guys realizing that? It's big news! Whether or not it translates into long term change, I can't yet say, but I will be continuing to inform these people on what Trump is actually doing. They watch FOX news and all of that shit, but since I'm used to FOX, it's simple enough to counter those narratives, and while it takes a LOT of effort to keep them from realizing I'm approaching this from a left wing perspective, the truth is that I do care about everyone having enough to eat, a roof over their head, medicine and medical care, a bright future for them and their kids, and so my words speak directly to their needs. It's scratching that itch Republicans are missing in exchange for going after trans people and women.

    I'm not trying to be conservative like them, I'm directly addressing their lack of material help, and the frustration that comes with working your ass off only to be further and further in debt.

    Do I want national forests cut down? No. Can it be done responsibly? I think so.......
    If we are importing timber-are we endangering species in other countries-for the sake of saving American species?
