Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (nobody uses that).
Hurricanes don’t matter

I’d note the new head of NOAA was involved with Sharpiegate. Put that in your pipe Oakley.

Politically this is war. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if people were hung for far less back in the day.

Just remember that your life story, harnessing ingenuity and immense talent to build a house and career would be far less likely under Trump’s vision of America.

Trump on Iran possibly assassinating him: "If they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I've left instructions."
The way he’s going, he'll have to leave instructions for retaliation against most of the free world.

I'm sure there are peaceful ways to remove dictators, oligarchs and their evil henchmen.

They just haven't been discovered yet.

Marsh can’t see the writing on the wall, the forest thru the trees or distinguish up from down, he has been fully brainwashed. Maybe the Neo Nazi doing Trumps dirty work could put Marsh to work building bunk beds for those kids working with Musk to free up some space.

You must think pretty highly of yourself to think your life is worth WW3 and the likely elimination of much of the human race.

I HOPE there are enough patriots in the military to not follow the orders of this crazy narcissist. If you don’t think our allies are pulling all intelligence sharing from the US, your not reading the room. This crazy talk has got to be causing a high amount of concern by our allies.

It seems impossible that we'll avoid a government shutdown. Many in Trump's inner circle desperately want one.
Perfect opportunity for Trump to disband Congress.

First, engineer a shutdown (there’s actually nothing to engineer- just have Rs on the Hill say they’re having trouble negotiating a spending bill. Let the funding expire without any agreement. Blame Ds for not being reasonable.)
Then, tell everyone that Congress cannot meet the demands of the moment, but as President, he will make sure that spending continues even without any law to direct that spending. “I will make those spending decisions on behalf of the American people. That’s what they elected me to do.”
As a bonus, he could use the never-used constitutional provision that allows the president to adjourn Congress. He could declare the 119th Congress adjourned sine die. Hill Rs would probably agree that they’ve been sent home and have no authority to meet or conduct business.
The corporate media response would likely focus on substance versus process. Sure, Trump is now ruling unconstitutionally by dictatorial fiat alone, but the alternative was a debilitating shutdown caused by those feckless idiots in Congress. Isn’t it good that Trump saved the economy from those cretins?
I think the legal uncertainty of the outlays would cause market related chaos. I also think they are not competent enough to pull this off cleanly enough to work and that the media has a preexisting framework around shutdowns and the debt ceiling that more (but not all) of them would wake up.

Bunk beds?....no problem..
But I'm a little busy with a couple of million dollar homes right now. You don't sound to busy...and I see you’re just an amateur but something you could tackle. 😉

Million bucks buys you a spec home these days. Hell, are they even using clear trim? (When I say clear I mean with no knots)

I’ve heard for far less you can pre-buy into a new timeshare development on the Med. Neighborhood is poised for rapid gentrification but you need to get in early.

Killing off USAID... there goes a huge amount of our global influence, particularly in Africa, which will open the door to China there even further. So much for the compassionate conservatism of GWB....

Bill Gates is a big proponent of global aid, he notes its less than 1% of our budget, yet has done so much in so many ways. One crazy decision after the next, all leading to eroding our influence and standing on the world stage. He wants to be like his buddy Putin and he is taking the steps necessary to accomplish it. Time to turn this around is short i fear and I’m not even sure if the courts can help, especially when potus doesn’t respect the rule of law.

In George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, the ultimate act of rebellion comes when Winston Smith insists that two plus two equals four, defying a system that demands he accept whatever reality the Party declares. The Party doesn’t just want him to say two plus two equals five—they want him to believe it. This demand that citizens deny obvious truth isn’t just about controlling specific facts; it’s about breaking their capacity to think clearly about reality itself.

Yeah, let’s let viruses ferment in Western Africa so we can use all that money we saved to treat dying Americans at home when the chickens come home to roost.

Not to mention the void that famine creates empowering ISIS and Boko Haram. Anyone remember “fight them over there so we don’t have to fight them at home?”

Probably the best ROI of any taxpayer outlay are those brown burlap bags with a big USAid printed all over.

For Trump and his cult to understand that, they would have to be clear headed rational analytical thinkers, that ship has sailed a long time back.

Trump will not send U.S. funds to Gaza, hasn’t committed to sending troops

White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt offered clarifying details a day after President Donald Trump vowed to take over the territory and rebuild it.


So its the same as last time Trump runs his Mouth. and then his people tell us thats not what he meant.

100%. The vacuum will be immense. (A close second in value is the support of Ukraine decimating the military resources of one of our biggest adversaries)

At least there is hope that Trump will continue military aid for access to natural resources, but I wouldn't hold my breath. He is after all a big fan of his little idol Putin.

It’s not a terrible idea but it also ties Trump to victory or he’ll never see any of the spoils and, well, it’s past inauguration so isn’t the war already over???

Same goes for shipping deportees to Gitmo, will take decades to shut it back down.

If you sit back and look at the big picture, almost everything the Felon and FElon have done it’s easy to see why Zi Jinping is grinning.
Alienating our allies with tariffs and threats
Removing all our foreign aid which did two things, made us look good by providing them things(bought from American suppliers) and provided us with CIA cover closely embedded.
Cuts the CIA, we now have a large number of people who know how our intelligence agencies work, pissed and without employment. All they need to do is turn one to do substantial damage.
Sends the White House a list of all the CIA hires in the past two years in an unclassified email, thru the system that FElon and his munchkins have been hacking and hooking unknowns into.
Then cut the FBI counterterrorism units, cut protection for people with very significant information….,
We are currently in the scariest place in almost 25 years and the Stable Genius spent yesterday afternoon kicking the hornets nest in the Middle East
