    Nothing to worry about because once all those horrible diseases caused by vaccines are eliminated by getting rid of vaccine mandates, health care costs will drop like War of the Worlds aliens infected by earthly bacteria and viruses. :whistling:

    And workers' wages usually increased significantly right after Plague swept through an area. So there's that.

    the coruption, the grift ......I will never forgive those who voted (or decided not to vote at all) for this calamity.


    “The Trump administration is quietly dismantling efforts by the Internal Revenue Service to shut down a slew of aggressive tax shelters used by America’s biggest multinational companies and wealthiest people,” the New York Times reports.

    All of this focus on Epstein makes things dangerous for Venezuelans in the near future.
    How many Venezuelans will need to be killed to distract us?

    Medicare prices are spiking for next year. Pretty sure EGHP’s and individual plans will, too.

    Don Jr is about to go through some things*

    The undercover agent thing was laughable as soon as it came out of Speaker Johnson's mouth. Was it all a hoax or was Drumpy a super-secret agent taking down a pedo ring. Was he an agent for a hoax? Was John Miller the spy?

    *Withdrawal. He's going to go through withdrawal

    When Elmo gets that $1 trillion pay package (he's had a bad year) and pays effectively no taxes, it should be billionaire gulag time.

    Did you misspell guillotine? Or maybe autocorrect jumped in to put "gulag" after you typed "gu"?

    And Republican Congress is looking to extend the subsidies. So they can get re-elected next year.

    Imagine being a professor for how many years and hearing this from an 18 or 19 year old brat that learned how to wipe their ass last week. SMDH

    COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - A Texas A&M professor under fire by university, state, and federal leaders is under investigation after a student in her class raised concerns over the topic of gender studies in the curriculum.

    The matter was shared first on X by Texas Representative Brian Harrison, an Aggie, who added a cell phone video of the exchange between a student and Dr. Melissa McCoul.

    Over in the Biology wing, students are demanding that the curriculum include the involvement of storks in human reproduction. Stupid twats.

    Talking about "the President's laws" is also concerning. As a yoot my favorite t-shirt was red with big white letters that said "Question Authority." We are breeding weapons-grade milquetoasts.

    Yeah, but you (and many of us here) came out of the time of Vietnam and Watergate, when it was important to question authority. We haven't had that kind of government failure (to that degree) until now.

    Saying that, it needs to be noted that there will always be people who don't question authority no matter how corrupt. Nixon had an approval rating of 24% when he resigned.
    https://news.gallup.com/poll/116677...ings-gallup-historical-statistics-trends.aspx

    But, I do know this is different and more concerning due to the cult aspect.

    Saw this this morning. I have a couple of questions:
    1 - How much notice was given by Trump? If he did that on a whim, I can understand the failure.
    2 - Was the Secret Service really the entire protection detail, or did Trump have his own private security guards?

    News Trump was going was on reddit three hours beforehand. That's where the protesters coordinated.

    Right to his face confrontation is great. See how much he is truly hated.

    Both he & Dumbya strategery-cally avoid mixed crowds or non rah-rah crowds for this very reason. Dumbya used to hold many of his rallies on military bases. Donnie hardly ever appears on non Wingnut media.

    NYT reporting that the Venezuelan (alleged) drug boat had turned around before it was destroyed by forces spending American tax dollars.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/us/trump-drug-boat-venezuela-strike.html

    Doesn't seem to be paywalled, but just in case:

    Venezuelan Boat Suspected of Drug Smuggling Is Said to Have Turned Before U.S. Strike - The New York Times


    A Venezuelan boat that the U.S. military destroyed in the Caribbean last week had altered its course and appeared to have turned around before the attack started because the people onboard had apparently spotted a military aircraft stalking it, according to American officials familiar with the matter.
    The officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter, added that the military hit the vessel repeatedly before it sank.
    The disclosures add new detail to an operation that was a startling departure from traditional drug interdiction efforts, escalating President Trump’s use of the military for matters typically handled by law enforcement. Legal specialists have disputed that it was lawful for the military, on President Trump’s orders, to target and kill drug smuggling suspects as if they were combatants in a war.
    Mr. Trump announced the strike last week, saying it took place in international waters and had killed 11 people who he said were transporting drugs “heading to the United States” and were part of a Venezuelan gang, Tren de Aragua. He has not put forward evidence to support those assertions but has said “we have tapes of them speaking.”​
