A leap of faith

@LuFins-Dad said in DOGE shifts the crosshairs: I wonder if any of the "payments to people who are dead" I thought of that while I was watching Mr. Musk. He was talking about a veteran who received benefits after his 150th birthday, that must be close to the limit for his family. Irene Triplett was the last person to receive a Civil War pension in the United States. She died at the age of 90 in 2020. Who was Irene Triplett? Triplett was born on January 9, 1930. She was the daughter of Mose Triplett, who fought for both the Confederacy and the Union during the Civil War. Triplett qualified for the pension because she was a helpless adult child of a veteran who suffered cognitive impairments. She received $73.13 per month from the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA).

It’ll be cold in Feb. it’s 22 there today.

Quick, (kind of) humane, painless, cheap(?) I have thought that if there is going to be a death penalty, using nitrogen is the best method.

He's not very Diverse I wonder why he wore glasses with better than 20/20 vision.

He regularly coauthors books with conservatives or libertarians, eg Richard Epstein from U Chicago.

@89th said in Florida Mom: I checked, she's a red head now. If you need me to check again, just let me know. Please conduct a thorough investigation and share a comprehensive report with TNCR.

@jon-nyc said in The Pre-game Interview: XL is particularly expensive I think. Same brand was three dollars cheaper for L. I want that extra gram of protein And this brand is fabulous. Deep orange yolks. Okay, how much were they normally? By the way, I was wrong. The eggs were $4.99 per dozen. I bought 2 more. [image: 1739351710494-img_3765.jpeg]

Lol, but ouch! That probably hurt for days and ended up a pretty shade of purple.

@89th said in If you see them erecting a cross in front of the FBI building...: @Jolly said in If you see them erecting a cross in front of the FBI building...: @89th said in If you see them erecting a cross in front of the FBI building...: It's good if Trump does it, bad if Biden does it. Got it. No. Remember what Bondi said. Justice is going back to being blind. Can they do that completely? I doubt it, they're human. But they are going to improve. Justice is blind...says the department that is trying to find any FBI agent or analyst assigned with the task of helping investigate the Jan 6th attack so they can be fired. However Trump could really convince me that justice is blind if he asks the judge to still sentence him for his convicted felonies. Just rooting out the bad apples. Enjoy!

Can we rename Buddy Carter as Brownie?

I think Griffin is just referring to all the false and even contradictory bullshit Trump spews in trying to justify the tariffs in addition to the sovereignty threats against allies. In short he is appalled at Trumpigula’s state of permanent tantrum. Don’t know why, it is par for course for the useless demagogue. In any case what is written is only a fragment of what Griffin presented.

@Tom-K

I don’t feel safe with Harry in America.

Is this the first time a military base was named to honor a Private First Class?

@jon-nyc said in The Worst Nazi Ever: He may be a bad Nazi but there’s no denying he’s a world-class troll. Today he briefly changed his twitter handle to Harry Bōlz.

@Mik said in So Phibes won't get mad at you...: England is a country like Nigeria It's nothing like Nigeria. Nobody in England, least of all some Prince you've never heard of, is going to give you a shit-ton of money for doing very little. In fact, nobody in England will give you the time of day without expecting up-front payment. And as for the generosity of the Scots....

They sold the smart car here for a while.
