Trump rescinds order pausing federal grants and loans
Think the one that stopped a whole load of govt programs last night including Medicaid and a ton of other federal grants. Caused chaos for about 6 hours until a judge stepped in. He’s had to backtrack big time. These people are idiots.Quote:

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay." DJ Trump.
This afternoon's Executive Order is the creation of a 30,000 migrant facility at Guantanamo.
Was on twitter for 5 mins early and the propaganda is strong from both sides.Quote:

It’s just a cesspit unfortunately
The way the article is written is misleading. He did his time and was released in July - before Trump was back. All convictions for the Jan 6 riot were quashed by Trump. Anyone looking at the headlines here could jump to the conclusion that he had only recently been released following the mass pardon and shot a few days later. You adding “should have stayed in jail” indicated that’s how you read it too. Why would anyone stay in jail if they’d served their sentence?Quote:

I see the President has weighed in on the tragic air crash in Washington DC overnight.
Oh and they're opening a camp in Guantanamo Bay for migrants.
I'm listening to a very poignant podcast series on the Hollocaust at the moment...echoes everywhere.
Absolutely grinds my gears and is dangerous they way he "tweets" like some random boy wouldQuote:

He's basically blamed the helicopter for the crash. Says he was briefed extensively, but this is a man who's inner circle used pictures during his last term as his attention span was so short.Quote:

Anyone else watching this live presser? Absolutely gobsmacked. I shouldn't be, but I am.
Unreal.Quote:

It’s a ******* circus and many more people are going to come to serious harm before it’s over.
Even for him that was horrific.Quote:

It’s probably very mean but I’m past caring. They knew what Trump is all about but did it anyway. This is not unexpected. If the want rid of vaccines and reproductive healthcare then why should I care when they suffer the negative outcomes. Hell mend them.Quote:

i turned over from Bloomberg after listening to him for two mins, my last words before flicking channels were "that THING is a freakin president" a slaver of a man, a total slaver, he talks roond in circles
we have cameras looking up to the sky, you know, cameras looking up to space
the helicopter could have turned left, it could have turned right
RFK jr yesterday, i lost count of the times he said he didn't say things only to pointed out it was on record, lol
the only times he sorta gave an answer to a question was when it was from a republican and he probably knew what their questions would be :greengrin he just would not give a direct answer to Dems
Otto English on X: "Please stop whatever you are doing and watch this. The charlatan snake oil merchant RFK on the ropes as his very own words become knockout blows. https://t.co/pcaUEPJgW0" / X
Air crash because of women, gays and black folks according to Trump.
I get where you're coming from, and there's certainly an argument that Democrats protecting voters from the consequences of their choices is misguided. He told us exactly what he was going to get up to, and people who should know better let it pass because they assumed it was bluster (from the guy who wanted to be leader of the post powerful nation on the planet ffs:rolleyes:). Others suggested that grown-ups would stand in the way of the offensive, ridiculous or dangerous stuff. Then he replaced the 'grown-ups' with barely qualified / unqualified loyalists with dodgy pasts - like he said he would - and he was still given the benefit of the doubt.Quote:

And in such a fractured media environment, it's really hard to get accurate information to the people who need to hear it; they hear Trump and his proxies' allegations and hysteria, and they don't hear any fact-based refutations of it. They hear Trump blaming non-colour blind / woke hiring practices for air-traffic controllers or helicopter crew (and he seems to have blamed both at different times this morning) before there's been any investigation, and the stations his people are watching will air little or no considered and evidence-based coverage to counter or moderate it.
Just like they'll have heard him ranting nonsense about taps being switched off on pipes from the Pacific Northwest by Gavin 'New****' and that's all it would have taken to stop the fires, so he got the US military to turn the water back on and Bob's your auntie! They won't have read the Californian water authority pointing out that all that happened is that a federal (not California state) pump was turned off for maintenance for a few days, and federal employees switched it back on when it was fixed.
He does what he always does when something big happens - he gets in there and seizes the narrative as soon as possible. He blames somebody, calls them names, says they should be in jail and that maybe that's a direction they should go down, says he would have fixed it straight away and in fact, if he was in charge then it wouldn't have happened anyway and he had an uncle who taught at MTT so he's got a kinda inherited gift for science. He throws in some snippets of information or gossip that he's heard and somehow or other, it sticks for a big chunk of the population.
Apologies for saying not very much in a very long-winded way...:greengrin Some of us have to live here :eyes: - we're 2 weeks in and I'm exhausted already. I saw somebody post yesterday, "It's like being strapped to a chair and watching a toddler play with a loaded gun." That's where I'm at. :panic:
Incidentally, I live a few miles from the site of the crash and pretty close to the flight path of the main runway, which is the busiest in the country and situated in a tight and complicated airspace. Every time Congress tries to add a new flight for their members who don't want to travel 50 mins to Dulles or Baltimore to get to their home state (which they seem to have the authority to do?), the airport management say that they are already over-capacity in an airport that was not designed for that amount of traffic and it's an accident waiting to happen. And each time they're over-ruled.
Add to that the various helicopter operators: each military branch/ Coastguard / National Parks / Police /Customs and Borders / various hospitals. Plus Marine 1(and its decoy helicopters) / Marine 2 (plus decoy), up and down the river and over the city, and past the ends of the airport runways. Constantly. There's a ridiculous amount of stuff in the air.
[N.B. To be clear, this is actually a great place to be living for a while. I'm not moaning :greengrin. And if you've not been, it's worth a visit, even if you feel you need to wait until the madness is over!] [But there are definitely too many planes and helicopters.]
Things more people didn’t vote for him than did vote for him.Quote:

Nice to think American's of both persuasions get what is coming to them, Democrats for not seeing it coming and Republicans just because.....Quote:
