| IsambardPrince | It's looking like phase two is fire everyone across the board who has been in the federal government less than 365 days. | Feb 14 00:00 |

| IsambardPrince | That court order that delayed the fork in the road thing probably saved thousands of federal workers by buying them another 6 days. | Feb 14 00:01 |

| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I posted: | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | "Some of the most notorious attacks ever were done by educated people. | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Some of the least successful ones were done by the stupid ones. | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Case in point, that 19 year old Indian guy who had a Green Card and (was it?) last year(?) rented a U-Haul van and rammed it into the steel bollard barrier outside the White House, and then again, causing the engine to catch fire. | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | The police were all over him, and later determined that he thought he would storm into the White House, do you know what to Biden, and take over and impose Nazism on America as the new President of the United States. (Because that's how it works you know. Whoever challenges the President to a sword fight and wins is the new President. LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!) | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Along the way, he tried to hire a private army to go there with him. | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | Needless to say he'll be deported in about 20 or 30 years when he finishes his prison sentence." | Feb 14 06:44 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, So which felony was I indicted on? | Feb 14 06:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Because there weren't any that I've ever been indicted on. | Feb 14 06:48 |
| IsambardPrince | I would have noticed. There's sort of a process involving a grand jury and all that. | Feb 14 06:48 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, After 16 hours of grueling deliberations, the Grand Jury returned a True Bill agreeing that the Defendant was likely a disturber of the peace. Their work in securing the most serious and infamous trials for prioritization over with, they were no longer sequestered in the hotel and barred from turning on the TV set. | Feb 14 06:50 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, You seem to also imply that I like Trump or that I voted for him, neither of which are true. | Feb 14 08:39 |
| IsambardPrince | In some ways, he's sort of doing the right thing here. | Feb 14 08:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Transgender stuff is some sort of modern insanity. | Feb 14 08:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Before about 10 years ago, I had encountered like two of them in my entire life. Now they're talking about holding down little kids and cutting off their body parts and making them take chemicals. | Feb 14 08:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Kids that are like 5 years old. | Feb 14 08:40 |
| IsambardPrince | And the left was trying to sneak in people who outright invaded our country to live off of us and play us for fools and steal from us and commit violent crime and sell drugs. | Feb 14 08:41 |
| IsambardPrince | So if you want to know why Trump won, that's why. | Feb 14 08:41 |
| IsambardPrince | Biden should have never gone down either of those two roads and we'd have never heard about "President" Trump again. | Feb 14 08:42 |
| IsambardPrince | It also didn't help that the Democrats helped make a martyr of him by continually prosecuting him when that only made him look like a victim (to some people) and kept him in the news. | Feb 14 08:42 |

| IsambardPrince | On Reddit, someone asked why the mass firing of federal workers. I replied, | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | "Because Republicans see all federal workers as lazy people who feed off the taxpayer dime and as potential saboteurs for the agenda. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They don't really care that they're going to add 300,000 newly unemployed people all at once into a dead economy, or that most of them were doing something reasonable and important, or that they pay taxes and receipts will fall between that and the further unemployment that it causes in the private sector, which is what austerity economics leads to. Combined with carving out programs like Medicaid and food stamps, and cutting | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Social Security and Medicare (He lied, sue him.) and their other stuff, and the tariffs, the GDP of the United States will fall, all of this making the debt burden even worse. To say nothing of the human cost. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They also do not care that they're going to double the unemployment rate of Virginia. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | The only thing we can hope for is that this is the end of Gov. Glenn Youngkin's administration, but something tells me that when unemployed former Feds can't afford Virginia anymore, they'll leave and the State GOP will do even better instead of facing accountability for promoting Trump, so he probably doesn't even care what it does to his State. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | [Tariffs are the worst trade policy ever. They're not designed to fix anything, or bring any jobs here. They've been tried repeatedly, most notably with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, and the result has always been fewer jobs and sometimes a terrible recession. In 1930, they made a recession into the Great Depression. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | In Trump's first term, steel tariffs created 1,000 steel jobs and subtracted 75,000 jobs from the US economy elsewhere when they couldn't get enough steel at a good price. | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | They will destroy jobs and reduce GDP. They're designed to fill federal coffers, mostly at the expense of people who are already broke and juggling maxed out credit cards, to fund massive tax cuts for the rich.] | Feb 14 09:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Overall, Trump's plans are exactly what happened in Greece, pretty much, when hostile creditors and the European Central Bank forced them to slash public spending, and the result was a disaster that made the situation they had before look like nothing." | Feb 14 09:04 |

| IsambardPrince | I would like one where we don't have crime and filth and crazy people all over the street. | Feb 14 09:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | you are very close to the net | Feb 14 09:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | because of all the things you are | Feb 14 09:09 |
| IsambardPrince | In Japan they have Tokyo Toilet or whatever that was. | Feb 14 09:09 |
| schestowitz-pi | and you couid be next | Feb 14 09:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Toilets as public art, kept very clean, to get people to use the parks and stuff. | Feb 14 09:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Here we get crackheads shitting and pissing wherever they happen to be. | Feb 14 09:09 |
| IsambardPrince | And that means no public toilets, artwork or otherwise, and if there are any in Chicago, you have to wade through three inches of human piss to get to the toilet. | Feb 14 09:10 |
| IsambardPrince | <schestowitz-pi> because of all the things you are | Feb 14 09:11 |
| IsambardPrince | Uncle Jessica is going to have it rough. | Feb 14 09:11 |
| IsambardPrince | There's a sort of innate disgust when normal people look at that. | Feb 14 09:11 |
| IsambardPrince | You know? | Feb 14 09:11 |
| IsambardPrince | There's only so much that Trump can do. | Feb 14 09:12 |
| IsambardPrince | He can cut off public funding to schools that pitch the tranny shit. | Feb 14 09:12 |
| IsambardPrince | He can cut off tranny shit from public health programs. | Feb 14 09:12 |
| IsambardPrince | But he can't really do much more than that. | Feb 14 09:13 |
| IsambardPrince | It wouldn't be legal here to pass a law saying you can't talk about tranny shit, as a private citizen. | Feb 14 09:13 |
| IsambardPrince | So I'm not terribly concerned with "propaganda laws" like Russians have. | Feb 14 09:13 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, "gay propaganda". | Feb 14 09:14 |
| IsambardPrince | They fined a woman the other day for "childfree propaganda". | Feb 14 09:14 |
| IsambardPrince | If we were in Russia, they could fine the shit out of Richard Stallman because of the childfree comments on his blog. | Feb 14 09:14 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, In many ways, Americans approve of this administration because we're exasperated from dealing with the troubles of unchecked illegal immigration, paying to defend the world, including Europe which hates our guts, so have fun with Putin. | Feb 14 09:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Nothing like a good last minute panic about what the fuck y'all are going to do now. | Feb 14 09:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Don't worry Roy, you'll probably hold them off, for a while. | Feb 14 09:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Putin is patient. He doesn't care if he loses a thousand Russians per square mile. He'll reach you eventually. And those figures will improve as you run out of things to shoot at them with. | Feb 14 09:18 |
| IsambardPrince | And he always has a lot of North Koreans to make you run out of things to shoot people with as he gains more of your territories. | Feb 14 09:18 |
| IsambardPrince | There will probably be quite a few Americans (after years of anti-American sentiment from Europe) who will enjoy sitting back and watching you get your asses kicked. | Feb 14 09:20 |

| IsambardPrince | Relying on Putin's gas, turning off nuclear plants, funding your militaries so badly they're breaking down and barely have enough of anything to put a dent in aging Soviet garbage. | Feb 14 09:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Europe will end up in total war, but the way I see this is Putin will go after something small and easy once he secures Ukraine and gets the US officially out of it. | Feb 14 09:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Like Latvia or Lithuania. I would. | Feb 14 09:25 |
| IsambardPrince | NATO will disintigrate. The EU will offer to stay out of it to try to hold him off there even though it means disregarding an invasion. | Feb 14 09:26 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, What do you think Starmer will do about this? | Feb 14 09:27 |
| IsambardPrince | The only thing that amazes me about all this is why Putin didn't just do it sooner. | Feb 14 09:29 |
| IsambardPrince | It's clear he'd generally be fine with taking what he already has. He's gotten almost all of Ukraine's mineral wealth at this point. | Feb 14 09:30 |
| IsambardPrince | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/americans-social-security-checks-may-124700094.html | Feb 14 09:32 |
| IsambardPrince | Trump stopped 700,000 Social Security checks. | Feb 14 09:32 |

| techtrights-sec6 | Yes the bubble was obvious. A former good friend gamed it well for a decade. | Feb 14 17:26 |
| techtrights-sec6 | Many did. I had a choice but saw where it was heading ethically and chose | Feb 14 17:26 |
| techtrights-sec6 | not to associate with kind of people that path led to. | Feb 14 17:26 |

| schestowitz-pi | but to avoid upfront | Feb 14 17:27 |

| schestowitz-pi | who are easy to identify of sniff from afar | Feb 14 17:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | more choice then | Feb 14 17:27 |
| schestowitz-pi | more to choose from | Feb 14 17:27 |

| techtrights-sec6 | That is the hope. | Feb 14 17:28 |
| techtrights-sec6 | I'm appreciating the notifications that RRRRRR gives of moved or missing | Feb 14 17:28 |
| techtrights-sec6 | feeds. QuiteRSS was poor at that. Feed URLs come and go or change in place. | Feb 14 17:28 |
| techtrights-sec6 | That has to be address manually since some don't even do the redirection. | Feb 14 17:28 |

| schestowitz-pi | without any easy way to find out which | Feb 14 17:29 |
| schestowitz-pi | other than to update groupwise and wait for a crash | Feb 14 17:29 |

| IsambardPrince | <schestowitz-pi> IsambardPrince: no takers? | Feb 14 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | IKEA? | Feb 14 21:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I think food has gotten so expensive that the last thing they want to do is draw in people who are there for a cheap dinner and leave without buying furniture. | Feb 14 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | They're already going to get whacked hard by Trump's economy-destroying tariffs. | Feb 14 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | So they probably no longer see drawing people in with lots of cheap food (that costs them more than they're selling it for) as such a loss leader. | Feb 14 21:16 |
| IsambardPrince | You know, when your input cost goes up 10-20% in a year now, you don't want people coming in and not buying anything when they get done. | Feb 14 21:17 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz-pi, Someone on Reddit said we needed more diversity visa immigrants to do "low skileld jobs". I replied, | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | "Right, and they don't hire people. The facts are that everyone I know in Indiana are always getting on Facebook and it's always the same thing. "Is anyone hiring? Willing to do anything!" | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Desperate for work, and you know while they aren't finding any work, Biden was sending in 60,000 or so of these diversity visa people every year which frankly ARE just random "whoever the computer picked, oh boy...", and like a bazillion Venezuelans who just flat out came in illegally and started going to Trump rallies and putting MAGA signs in their front lawn and then were shocked, shocked when he took their TPS away and citizens | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | with a Venezuelan background who voted for him lost their family members who were TPS people. | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Biden flooded our country. We (obviously) did not get their best and brightest. A year or two later after they all promoted Donald Trump (the proverbial self-imposed stick in the front wheel of the bicycle) they shout that they were "betrayed!". | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Honestly if we're getting people this stupid, enjoy the plane ride back and the consequences of "failing to support the revolution", I say." | Feb 14 21:23 |
| IsambardPrince | "I'm not a Trump supporter, no sir. But people worked hard for this. Including my mother and brother, who depend on Social Security, Medicaid, and food stamps. | Feb 14 21:26 |
| IsambardPrince | If President Musk sees four star Army generals and people studying disease outbreaks at the CDC as trash to be thrown in the garbage, then I wouldn't be so sure that he won't get around to them too." | Feb 14 21:26 |

| IsambardPrince | "Yeah, with the Venezuelans, Biden also took a shit on everyone who came here legally, paid USCIS a fortune, and had to wait in line behind a million cases of Asylum Fraud, that paid nothing to file those papers. | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | You might have noticed that he's not the President anymore. There's reasons. And while I think people will like what happens now even less, yeah... | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | The Venezuelans didn't qualify for Asylum and they were allowed in anyway. They went through several countries that would have taken their Asylum application, including Mexico, didn't apply there, and came here. | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | So it had nothing to do with Maduro, and everything to do with coming to the United States to live off us and bring South American style crime here, and saying "We're here now. Deal with it." | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | And when you look at the video of them getting off that deportation plane in Venezuela, most of them have that "criminal" look to them, you know. Beady eyes. Staring at the camera like they're going to kill a b*tch. :) | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | We did not get their best. | Feb 14 21:45 |
| IsambardPrince | They gave a 59 year old homeowner in Chicago a Colombian Necktie a couple weeks ago during a home invasion. They looted so much that all our stores are closing and leaving. | Feb 14 21:45 |
