Shocked Comcast wants to sell MSNBC

Does Trump find a spot in his administration for Nicole Shanahan?

 

[Mike-McD]

He had a mild one literally hours after he selfishly used his postgame interview to go on a wild anti-Trump rant.

Trump literally broke him

Pop had a stroke?

LeBron James on the stroke his 'dear friend' Gregg Popovich suffered

LeBron James wished longtime Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich, whom he called a "dear friend," the best after the coach suffered a mild stroke.

Right after the election I think. Maybe Wed or Thurs last week

Edit- Nov 2nd according to media

How ironic that the same ones screaming bloody murder about government control because of being asked to wear a mask during the "plandemic" are perfectly ok with a President taking over every government agency in America, placing yes men in charge of those agencies, and suggesting the creation of a tribunal to have complete control over the military generals.
This is exactly how democracy dies.

Um, dipshit, that is what every president does.

They put their people in place.

Cry more, Village Idiot.

Or, better yet, shut up and go away.

God, you're insufferable. And just colossal levels of stupid.

Jcps and Fayette are definitely the two worst offenders. I agree the amendment would have little/no impact for rural kids, but we'll never know.

Maybe if it passed it would give some parents the ability to move somewhere with better education options. Maybe if it passed there would he the financial incentive to open a small magnet school in these regions where the best and brightest could attend.

We'll never know. Instead we'll get what we have which is the brightest being held back by the rest which are a combination of kids born to mothers actively using drugs at the time of birth or with families that never inspire to get off the draw, which includes making sure their kids stay "dumb" so they can get an additional check.

JCPS just screwed the magnet school kids that ride the bus in Louisville earlier this year. Their brilliant bus plan for this year was to cut bus service from 14,000 kids. That’s right…14,000 kids in the JCPS system that rode the bus last year were not allowed to do so this year. Other regular public school students were cut out as well but amongst the 14,000 are ALL of the magnet school kids in Louisville. Not a single magnet student has bus service this year. Huge civil rights law suit being filed against JCPS over that deal.

Prior to this year’s debacle…

Two years ago JCPS paid a Boston company $1 million to come up with a bus plan. They effed it up royally & some kids were getting to school almost an hour late and some of them not getting home at night until 7 or 8pm.

UPS execs had offered to come up with a plan for about half that amount but JCPS scoffed at that offer & went with the more expensive Boston company. Turns out the Boston company had screwed up two other school systems’ bus routes in the past few years. Obviously JCPS didn’t do their due diligence to vet that company.

Heads should roll.

Trumps cabinet choices been grest so far. However no chsnce Gaetz gets confirmed as AG. maybe not RFK either .

RFK won’t get confirmed but that Tranny did? You serious Clark?

[trueblujr2]

Dan Bongino.

I can see Bongino as head of Secret Service.

 

[trueblujr2]

He doesn't want it.

Let me walk this back. He doesn't want Secret Service. I don't know what his thoughts on the FBI are.

Did not hear that. Disregard my previous post then.

so sad 😅

He got trolled on TIk Tok after leaving. It was hilarious. He doesn't know how the internet works. He's been catered to for years.

 

[hmt5000]

Also, ZERO chance of Gaetz not getting backfilled by another Republican so that has to play into it.

I heard a 3d chess theory too. If the Senate doesn't approve him then Desantis appoints him to the Senate. You know they wouldn't want him in there really really bad.

Elon and Vivek’s job getting easier with every appointment.

 

[hmt5000]

There are many serious conservative lawyers (even MAGA lawyers) at the state AG level, or in the Senate (Cruz for one) who would be miles better than Gaetz as AG. Gaetz is the guy at the back of class heckling the teacher.

Tulsi Gabbard endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016. How is that a "conservative" pick?

That isn't what his coworkers say. Even saw a Democrat give him credit on being a good lawyer and tireless worker...

 

[hmt5000]

Gaetz is probably going to be the best AG for what Trump wants him to do. And at this point, I’m perfectly OK with that. Amused, actually. Probably will get the ball rolling on all the resignations from DOJ lifers who’s be undercutting the MAGA agenda or who took pleasure in imprisoning the Biden admin’s political opposition.

Garland got approved with like 70 votes. I'm tired of Democrats acting like they are better at the law and constitution than us. Garland has been absolutely horrible.

 

[hmt5000]

Awful choice. Geez

Recess appointments... It'll happen one way or another... and hell is coming with him.

 

[hmt5000]

Matt Gaetz is a pedophile? He should probably be in jail then. Why isn't he?

Because the FBI got caught trying to extort him for that crime with absolutely zero evidence. They dropped the investigation to get the story out of the news because the FBI was obviously corrupt as hell in that case... seems to be growing problem with that part of the government... Maybe someone can clean it up a bit. LOL

 

[hmt5000]

I’m not sure how Gaetz is qualified to be the nation’s top law enforcement official.
Surely, there are better qualified ??

Trump's Gaetz pick as AG triggers audible gasp among some congressional Republicans

Reaction among Republicans on Capitol Hill to President-elect Donald Trump's choice of Matt Gaetz for attorney general ranged from shock to support to outright dismissal.

Was Matt Gaetz the Lone 'No' Vote on 2017 Anti-Human Trafficking Bill?

As U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz faced a Justice Department investigation, his past voting record came under fresh scrutiny.

Now do Merrick Garland.... go.

 

[hmt5000]

I believe the nominations are not 'formal' until inauguration at which time the Senate takes them up...start hearings...then vote.
No recess then for months. So I have no idea when they would try a recess appointment.

They can go on recess after the first week and only need to be away for 10 days to do recess appt. Also... old law allows the President to suspend congress for a period of time... Trump can force them to go on recess. Hasn't happened since the 1800's but it's a law.

 

[hmt5000]

Jennings would be great in that role but probably makes too much money on CNN.

CNN is broke and is laying off over 100 people. You should read Twitter/X... You'd know about this story.

I figured something was up. When I brought up my homepage today the top story was "Russia losing 2000 soldiers per day".. I was like. Who the hell believes this crap? But it makes sense. They have to make people believe they aren't just stealing as much as they can before the charade is exposed.

Same thing Eric Ciaramella and Alexander Vindman did in '16. Those 2 were put in those rolls just to hide the Ukraine fraud machine.
