“Strong” men too. Groveling and sniveling at the feet of the putrid orange buffoon. From a female perspective, what’s manly or attractive about any of them? Men whose existence have no purpose. Who have no character. And no life’s goals except to worship the orange Baal no matter what he does.

HaHa. Switched browsers and could see Bemuracs trying to console Basilico who seems on the verge of crisis that no one has been frog marched yet based on all the conspiracies he's been fed.

I'm eminently intrigued in what he will do next.
1.) Will he realize that he has been being lied to for years? And most of the stuff he's been spouting here has been bullshit?
2.) Or will he make up an even crazier conspiracy that somehow covers for two of the most partisan people who have ever been in FBI leadership not being able to convict anyone for all the conspiracy theories they have been throwing to their rabid base for years?

I may not immediately re-up his block when it expires so I can see first hand how this plays out. Lol.

Between Trump, Elon-DOGE and RFK, the number of easily preventable deaths of Americans in the coming years is going to be astronomical. Find out how you can protect your family and children from these bumbling buffoons (especially that RFK guy).

I think the American association of pediatricians are coming up with their own vaccine schedule and recommendations guidelines. Basically what has always been in place (just in case). So, talk to your pediatrician about what your children need. Don’t go by the current CDC guidelines because your fascist president and his lackeys think they get to decide what is science and what is real based on nothing but their own personal opinion. No qualifications whatsoever.

After this ediocy of a regime is over, it might take a while but things will eventually go back to normal. In the meantime you don’t want to lose a child because ego-driven imběciles think they are above the science.

And even if you support these idiots, your children don’t deserve to die preventable deaths or get permanently disabled because of your own stupidity. After all the NL back and forth, pls log off and go find reliable sources of information on how to prevent diseases and protect your children. Pls don’t be stupid. Thank you.

He’s absolutely right. Democrats need to stop worrying about looking like the bad guys and call a thing what it is. Trump and Elon killed 51 (and still counting) Texans yesterday.
In a scathing social media post, Seth Abramson, biographer of President Donald Trump, directly blamed Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk for the deaths of more than 50 Texans in recent catastrophic flooding — arguing their politically driven decisions led to avoidable tragedy.

“I have no difficulty saying that Trump and Musk caused some of the 50+ flood deaths in Texas,” Abramson wrote in a widely shared thread on the social platform X.

“And here's why: these two men with no expertise in disaster preparedness were told not to cut the positions they cut, and were told people would die if they did. And then people died," he said.

Abramson’s remarks come amid growing scrutiny over public service cuts made in Republican-led states, where disaster readiness programs have been downsized or gutted.

In Texas, where flash floods have left at least 50 people dead, analysts and former emergency managers have raised concerns that early warning systems, regional FEMA coordination, and infrastructure resilience have been compromised due to staffing and budget reductions.

Abramson urged Democratic leaders to take a more forceful stance over the tragedy. “Democrats are never going to start winning elections again until they're willing to call a thing just what it is,” he wrote. “Texas Democrats should be clear and persistent in saying that public service cuts overseen by non-experts desperate for billionaire tax cuts killed people.”

He preemptively addressed Republican rebuttals accusing Democrats of politicizing tragedy. “And if Republicans respond by saying that Democrats are politicizing these deaths,” Abramson added, “the Democrats should respond: THAT'S BECAUSE THE DEATHS ARE POLITICAL. POLITICIANS CAUSED THEM.”

Abramson, who has written extensively on Trump’s business and political life, framed the Texas disaster as a warning of worse to come.

“A key reason we need to start having this conversation now—and why cowardly Democratic politicians need to get over their aversion to having this conversation—is because the number of dead attributable to Trump and Musk this year will be in the thousands or tens of thousands,"

I honestly feel ashamed I never supported the buffoon. I knew he was not going to be a spectacular president but I never knew he was going to be this disastrous.
Yours is different though because you have to rely on what you read or hear. So it’s understandable.

But honestly it’s the people who personally lived through his first presidency and still supported him I don’t understand. He NEVER made one decision in his first term that was thought through. Just bludgeoning everything with a sledgehammer like a bull in a china shop.

Mind you the $1k was for emergency needs like baby needs, food, water etc in the meantime before they can put in official claims through their insurance companies for proper compensation.

With proper management, $1k can buy cheap food for a couple of weeks. That’s proper emergency fund for essentials only.

They politicized the whole thing and defunded FEMA based on their propaganda. Now look.
dominique:
This is directly on Donald trump and Elon musk. They cut off funding and jobs of agencies like the weather service and NEMA, even the orientation agency that's to alert citizens of impending natural disasters wasn't spared. To what end? So the billionaires can get tax cuts? So they can keep pumping billions to Isreal to fight senseless wars? Is this how he intend to make America great again?

This same hypocrite Trump berated Biden/Harris administration when they gave victims of hurricane in Florida less than $1k, at least the NEMA was fully functional and worked round the clock to assist the affected victims. Now tornados are ripping through the Midwest, Texas is being ravaged by floods and his administration couldn't care less.

They can't fund their emergency services but they can fund wars in other countries. Anybody defending these people is seriously sick in the head.

They said we were fear mongering when we said people would die from this disaster dump truck of a presidency.

“Staffing cuts to the Austin/San Antonio weather service happened in May 2025. 22% of the staff were played off. This location oversees central Texas and Kerr Co. They also implemented a hiring freeze. These cuts lead to the loss of the warning coordination meteorologist and the observing program leader. These roles are crucial. NOAA also suspended weather balloon launches in parts of central Texas due to the staffing cuts. These upper-air data collectors are vital for predicting storm development and flood potential.

Flash flood alerts were issued, but that doesn’t mean people had the full picture or lead time to take meaningful action, especially in the overnight hours when people are asleep or unaware. The issue isn’t whether a warning eventually came through…the issue is how early, how specific, and how forcefully that warning was communicated. In Kerr County, the local NWS office was severely understaffed due to federal cuts, including vacancies in key positions like the Warning Coordination Meteorologist. At the same time, upper-air balloon launches (which help forecast rapid storm development) had been cut back across Texas. This seriously weakened their ability to detect HOW intense the rainfall would be, how fast it would hit, and which areas were most at risk. That means alerts were reactive, not proactive. And for some families, came too late or weren’t alarming enough to trigger evacuation. Many have said the warnings were given a low probability and did not prompt evacuation orders. The lack of emergency coordinators and weather tools that detect intensification lead to delayed response.”

He can’t find enough so called terrible immigrants to deport that he’s having to go to jobs & court houses to snatch people for deportation. I thought immigrants are leeches who don’t work but depend on handouts? Why are they going to jobs to find them?

What about going to immigration hearings to snatch people speaks positively about wanting people to “do it the right way”?

---At least 32 dead, dozens missing in flash flood; bodies of three girls from Christian camp recovered---Texas officials blame local weather prediction services for not predicting the devastating flooding---
Do these dense Texas officials somehow expect local weather services to function without the funds and the essential government staff that Elon musk fired? Elon was saving them money (so I heard). But at what cost?

We literally told them people would die because these are life saving services. But they said it’s waste and fraud. Insultingly asking govt officials to check in everyday and list 5 things they have done.

They may not do 5 things everyday but the one day that they do do something, they save dozens if not hundreds of lives.

Flooding in Texas kills over 30 people with many still missing. Trump has gutted environmental protection programs and early warning systems. Services are sparse.

FEMA is defunded per the request of red states (who BTW have more natural disasters) just because they’re mad immigrants get help too. They’d rather suffer too than live with the possibility of FEMA helping immigrants.

Unfortunately these deceased and missing people might not have had anything to do with these decisions but they’re suffering it just like everyone else. Sad all around

But our American capitalists, get govt fund to boost their businesses, make stupid decisions and get bailed out by our taxes when they are failing. To “preserve the economy”.

But the person making $55k a year yet can’t afford to live decently is a leech for asking for affordable healthcare and childcare. Or the 65 year old retired teacher who can’t work anymore is a lazy bum for expecting a good retirement. They’re so brainwashed against what’s best for them. It is pathetic to watch.

Many of them in support of cutting Medicaid don’t even know they are on Medicaid themselves because their state has a different name for it. It’s Obamacare vs affordable healthcare act all over again. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Time changes but people don’t apparently.

I think some of the worst disservice done to us as kids was the idea that people are inherently good and if everything goes as it should, they will make the right choice.

That’s why we naively wondered how people in the past could have supported some horrendous things you read in books then.

Current times have shown that if they lived in those past times, they would have done the same or worse .

How could they come out from church on a Sunday and gather around a tree to amuse themselves with human barbecues. Their glee at the idea of other people being eaten by alligators and pythons tells you exactly how they would’ve been okay with that.

They would be the neighbors calling the gestapo to come take their neighbor to a concentration camp.

They would be the negro who leaks escape plans to the master for a few pats on the back.

Time changed but they didn’t.

As usual they will be dying from the effects of this bill but will keep blaming democrats. More of their local hospitals propped up by Medicaid will close. They will have to travel to get medical care (as some of them are already doing now) but it won’t matter because they’ve owned the libs. grin

This is how it has been for the past 50 years. Republicans do shit that messes up the country. When the effects start rolling in the next administration, their ignorant base does what they do best. Refuse to use their senses or read anything that actually contains facts.

When it appears as if some of are starting to become aware of what’s going on, their leaders will bring a scapegoat to distract them with.
