    Thinking about a daily log to track the daily outrages of this admin....probably should just update post #1 accordingly.



    Better get yourself a nice thick journal.  Published, it could turn out to be a tome.

    I noticed that as well.  It's not surprising.  He's a total embarrassment and everyone knows it.

    True. People flag posts if anyone disagrees. After so many flags people get banned. People here in the echo chamber flag post evertime because honest truthful discussions is dangerous…so thus why they go away.

    If you’re planning on flying, you might want to check and see who’s in the cockpit because I’m going to fathom that 94% of plane crashes had a white person at the controls. You might want to turn around and head for the car rental counter.
    Question:  Is it unreasonable to believe that people should be hired based on their qualifications?  I can understand trying to hire a diverse workforce.  I can understand that perspective and not vilify it.  But do you believe someone is racist or sexist if they do not agree or support DEI programs?  

    This question has nothing to do with this plane incident. 
    Do you believe DEI prevents people from being hired based on their qualifications?


    The Trump administration clearly does not like DEI programs yet has assembled what most considered to be the least qualified cabinet members in recent history. 
    I think some would say it isn’t inconceivable for a program with great intentions to result in hiring someone less qualified than another candidate to fill a quota.  

    The Dems will continue to lose elections when they label people as racist for not liking programs that target/benefit people by race (irony). People can disagree without being a racist.

    It is the same annoying thing with abortion.  Dems say pro lifers hate and want to control women, when perhaps they just feel strongly a fetus is a life.   Reps say pro choice people are murderers, when they don’t believe that a fetus is a human and want to prioritize the mother’s choice.  There is no room for reasoned debate, and it doesn’t help that Trump purposefully says the dumbest things to distract people.

    If they ever posed honest questions or truthful discussions. The few that have been on here just spew nonsense, post a meme, a press release or refuse to actually answer real questions. I've tried. Feel free to challenge statements or positions you disagree with on here. It's only an echo chamber if people don't challenge anything and just come on here to complain. It's ironic because the people usually calling it an echo chamber seem to be in the middle or slightly left leaning.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    of course its impossible. to anyone sane with even an ounce of humility.


    Panama president: ‘Impossible’ to negotiate over canal

    by Laura Kelly - 01/31/25 9:59 AM ET
    NOW PLAYING
    House Republican bill would pave way for Trump ...

    Panama President José Raúl Mulino rejected negotiations over ownership of the Panama Canal, in the face of President Trump’s fixation on the U.S. retaking the trade waterway. 

    Mulino’s remarks come ahead of a visit this weekend by Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has called for Panama to kick out a Hong Kong-based company that operates two ports on either side of the canal, describing it as a core U.S. national interest. 

    “It’s impossible. I can’t negotiate,” Mulino said when asked about returning the canal to U.S. control during a press conference Thursday. “That is done. The canal belongs to Panama.”

    Mulino said he hopes to talk to the U.S. about issues including immigration, security and the fight against drug trafficking. 

    “The only thing that I want is to clear all the garbage from the path, clean the table and be able to speak with the United States, and very frankly,” he said, according to The Associated Press. 

    Trump has made his calls for retaking the Panama Canal one of his priority foreign policy issues in his first days in office, criticizing the Carter administration’s 1977 decision to sell the U.S.-built canal to Panama; fumed over high transit prices and railed against Chinese businesses operating key ports on the waterway. 

    Rubio, in a recent interview on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” said he’s going to address with Mulino a “solution” to the U.S. concerns of Chinese companies’ presence at the canal. Rubio accuses the businesses of being under the direction of the Chinese government and has suggested there’s a risk the companies could shut down the waterway. 


    continues....

    This “dems will continue to lose elections” crap is nonsense. We heard that in 2016 when trump first won. The “it’s the dems fault!” whining bullshit. Then the dems won the house and the White House. Tossed that claim in the toilet. And it will happen again in 2 and 4 years. It’s all cyclical. 

    Independents decide elections, and they don’t pay attention to that garbage.

    I’d agree, she doesn’t look bad or old per say, just that’s not a 27 year old look.

    😂 that’s not how it works. People get banned for saying supremely offensive shit. You may not see it as they are often edited after the fact.
