See how you feel when there are no workers for those jobs, the plant closes and you're paying unemployment for all the laid off workers and the nearby businesses that go under that depended on that lunch crowd.

Penny wise.... Pound foolish
The only thing that undermined US interest was the dumbass POTUS leading an attack on our own Capitol. The entire world saw it.
Milley contacted other nations to let them know the US military was still not compromised by the coup attempt and not to worry about escalation of military preparation on their end.
Dumbass was too busy watching the Capitol attack on his TV at the White House to be bothered by anything.
History is gonna bury MAGA with other failed nationalistic movements in history like the Nazis and fascists in Italy.
Just give it time.

Trump yanks Secret Service protection for ex-DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas

Im glad all these people are losing their protection and clearance but.... why'd they ever get to keep it to begin with?
So they can just cycle back in to their cushy shady ngo positions?
Comparing immigrants who chose to come here, get paid and possibly work towards citizenship.... to slaves who had no choice in the matter is asinine.
"So glad I block Sam. He's a foul spammer. The thread is just full of his turds. Weird links too"
You blocked him at 8:45 last night, but responded to him around 7 this morning. Great job standing firm on that!!!
It's amazing really. Even a monkey would figure out something this simple, but not liberals and died in the wool communists.
Actual govt figures-
1% of US citizens responsible for 63% of violent crime.
The majority of violent crimes are perpetrated by a small number of persistent violent offenders, typically males, characterized by early onset of violent criminality, substance abuse, personality disorders, and nonviolent criminality.
...individuals diagnosed with mental disorders have an overall higher risk than the general population for criminal, including violent, offending.
100% of illegal aliens are criminal offenders by their very definition. Just walking across the border is one crime. Remaining here is another. Refusing to follow the laws laid out here- obtaining a valid license, maintaining insurance on any vehicles owned, registering for and paying taxes as an alien, etc. Illegal aliens are 3x as likely to commit crimes and persist in those crimes from the very first day they walk across the border.
It is precisely a black&white issue. There is no oversight in this advertising. Patients should not be asking their doctors about meds. Meds should be prescribed by doctors that are actually DIAGNOSING issues. Prescribing something a patient asks you about takes the weight off of the doctor if something goes wrong. It is THE DOC's job to know medicines and how and when to use them. If they can't properly perform this duty, they shouldn't be licensed. Ads on TV won't make or break a well-functioning system.
There are very good reasons this wasn't allowed for almost a century.
Don't need to remind anyone of the ads touting "doctors recommending" smoking back in the day....
Simple as that. Indentured servitude is still servitude. Accepting an hourly wage for work performed is also servitude. It's all work. It's all servitude.
It's hypocrisy to be against servitude for some people, but not for others, just like it's hypocrisy to call it racism only if white people do it. You want to pay someone less than minimum wage for their work. You should accept less than minimum wage for your work or gfy.
The companies employing illegals are not paying them near what they'd pay legal citizens. That in itself is ILLEGAL, but liberals don't care as long as their shirt is $5.
I have no idea how signal works. I don’t even know if you can do it in iMessage. But I know in Teams you can add someone to a chat and share the chat history. I wonder if Waltz was trying to leak it and ****ed up.
This.
Another bad decision (imo) was back in the 70s (?) when lawyers were allowed to start 'advertising'. Opened the floodgates of our sue happy society (this coming from a guy who went to law school....but never practiced)
Never have understood why someone...who is not/no longer in government....still has a security clearance.
Repub or Dem....makes no difference. If you are no longer in a government position....no need of a security clearance.
Typical Club MAGA conclusion w/o evidence. Another good reason to stay away.
Don't forget told that they are not worthy of sex.
The "incel" article on Wikipedia explicitly states that it refers to a "mostly online subculture of people (racially diverse, but mostly white)". The article itself was started in 2018, and it is maintained by a self-identifying "queer" female Wikipedia admin who will not allow the article to have its racial narrative questioned or removed.
She is also a cryptocurrency critic. This one has aged well:
Bitcoin is over $87,000 as of this morning. 52-week high of over $109,000.
Your head is buried right up Trump's azz just where you wanna be.
Don't question Dear Leader.
Never hearing any opposing views.
Just want your head completely surrounded by Trump's climate controlled anal canal.
I can almost hear you mumbling something from inside there. 🤣
Try texting on an unsecured chat app like the rest of the military leaders in our government. 🤡
In your example there is also no reason to advertise food, cars, etc. We can make up our own minds and don't need to have suggestions thrown at us, especially those that are presumed to be unhealthy, addictive, etc.
I see your point, but it definitely isn't cut and dry, not w/ the billions on the table.
Agreed. A patient asking a doctor about a particular drug doesn't absolve the doctor of med mal liability if he prescribes the drug. The doc still has the typical duty of care to know what he's prescribing.
I don't believe we need to be "protected" from for profit drug companies - it is the profit incentive that permits them to develop useful drugs.
Big difference between Rs and Ds.
Over $3T....$3T......has been announced in new plants, etc in the U.S. by both domestic and foreign companies since Trump took office.
Over $3T....$3T.....and counting....of private money/investment.
Dem/libs/Biden
$1.9T American Rescue Plan....$1T Infrastructure, Investment, and Jobs Act....$280B Chips and Science Act.
$3T+ ..... all government/taxpayer money
I have no issue with this whatsoever.
This stuff is all out there but no one is acting on it. Why? All this lawfare judiciary and prosecutors have direct financial ties to usaid.
Track this all down and impeach each and every one. Until that happens, it will be endless lawfare.
It’s almost like our own SWAMP is getting fat off the same abuse of our tax dollars, isn’t it? Put on a show about how they are going to fight the corruption in front of cameras, but get together in the shadows to make sure that no real changes occur. Rinse, repeat.
There really are no repercussions. They’ll never be removed from the bench via impeachment because democrats are corrupt. They’ll never be disbarred for corruption because the state bars are just as corrupt.
The he judicial branch has less credibility than congress at this point.
It got worse under the cal years. Getting those #1 classes caused our already crazy fanbase to get even nuttier. It was like adding meth to an alcohol and cocaine party.
Try that lie somewhere else. You guys keep conflating illegal and legal immigrants. We know you are doing that so stop doing it here. Try that on people who don't look up facts. This is just federal prisons.... You want me to look up Cali, TX,NY and Illinois state prison stats?
As of the most recent data available from the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) on March 7, 2025, approximately 14.9% of federal prisoners are non-U.S. citizens. This figure comes from the BOP's inmate citizenship statistics, which report that out of 153,762 total inmates, 22,973 are non-U.S. citizens. However, this percentage includes both legal and illegal immigrants, as the BOP does not specifically break down the data by legal status.
To estimate the proportion of illegal immigrants specifically, we can look at additional context from the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) reports. For fiscal year 2023, the USSC found that 33.7% of all individuals sentenced in federal courts were non-U.S. citizens (21,504 out of 64,124 cases), and of those, 88.4% were classified as illegal aliens. Applying this 88.4% to the BOP’s non-citizen population suggests that roughly 13.2% of federal prisoners (88.4% of 14.9%) could be illegal immigrants.
This estimate aligns with historical trends. For example, a 2018 DOJ report indicated that about 66% of known or suspected aliens in BOP custody (approximately 38,132 out of 183,000 total inmates) were unlawfully present, translating to roughly 13.7% of the federal prison population at that time. More recently, a 2019 DOJ report noted that 94% of confirmed aliens in BOP custody were illegally present, which, applied to the 27,494 aliens in custody, suggests about 14.8% of the total BOP population (174,511) were illegal immigrants.
Given these figures and the current BOP data, a reasonable estimate is that approximately 13% to 15% of federal prisoners are illegal immigrants as of March 25, 2025. This percentage may vary slightly depending on ongoing investigations into immigration status and changes in enforcement policies, but it reflects the best available data without a precise, up-to-the-day breakdown of legal versus illegal status.
Listened to an old episode of The Rewatchables Podcast about the movie Hoosiers.
We all know that the NCAA is absolute shit but I did not know this. The NCAA suspended players who appeared in the movie three games and fined the guy who played Rade 5% of what he was paid for the movie.
The NCAA deserves the worst.

I still don't get this. How does Waltz make this mistake and how do they not stop using Signal?
Whatever the numbers.....we the taxpayer of the United States of America are footing the room and board.
On top of food stamps, welfare, housing, etc for those here who are not in prison.
There's not an "argument" they make that isn't some form of a lie, of a deception. If it's not exploitive of ignorance and/or an inability to reason properly like this one, then it's an equally inane argument" based on emotional manipulation.
There's a difference between those things advertised AND the reasons, and if you can't distinguish between them, there's no point talking to you about this topic. You are simply choosing to argue and I've not got the time for that.
Knowing those who work in health care, the drug advertising has not been beneficial to patient care. Most people don't even know what meds they are already taking, much less what affect they have.
Contrary to what some liars would post here, if a patient says they want to try a medicine regardless of side effects and contraindications, they can sign a waiver and get the prescription. The doc prescribing may not even have been told what meds the patient is currently taking/prescribed. It happens more often than you'd think that the patients don't know or disclose things, and other times some flat out lie. Of course, so have drug and medicine manufacturers....
Tide turning in Ukraine. People might be tired of the Azov type people running the war and making the rest of the country fight it.
They sure know how to treat their "friends".
Whoa!
'48% of likely California voters say they are now considering voting for a Republican for governor in 2026.'
'48% of likely California voters say they are now considering voting for a Republican for governor in 2026.'
If they're "Ukrainians" and this is part of a movement of some kind, why are their entire bodies covered so you can't tell who they are? They could be Ukrainians here or people speaking with the accent that are just liberals in garb like the fake conservatives like patriot front, and at J6 and elsewhere.
