The Isolated Politics Blurt Thread I: A New Beginning

stay tuned, more to come. Reciprocal tariffs against American goods are coming. Waiting to hear other countries slap export control items to prohibit sales to the US. Trump, Vance and company plus the Republicans did such a bang up job destroying our relationships and alliances.

Oh.. the moment your president starts with his erratic and "woe is me -Europe is not buying my goods" tarif nonsense.

Then we start the ACI, anti-coercion instrument.

We are ready, the paperwork is done. We just really, really hope that it is not going to be necessary.
But if it is. So be it.
 
I don't know if many folks remember Congresswoman Mia Love from Utah, to date she has been the only black female member of the Tea Party Republicans.

She served two terms from 2014 to 2018 but was defeated by 694 votes in the 2018 election. After her narrow defeat, she made the news by sullenly refusing to return to Washington DC to finish up her last two months in office.

She dedicated her life to overturning Roe v. Wade and to cutting SNAP benefits to single mothers with children.

With the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade and Republicans gutting SNAP benefits this week (to $1.60 per person per meal), Love's mission on this planet is now complete.

Diagnosed with glioblastoma brain cancer in 2022, her daughter announced today (3/1/2025) that she is no longer responding to treatments, so treatments have been discontinued and she's been moved to hospice care.

She is 49 years old.
 
Pishki and Ponchik are 2 Russian words for Donut.

Thought you might as well start learning Russian now.

So andrew cuomo is looking to reenter the NY mayoral race... guess he thinks 'sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander' with trump's embracing of adams and the general makeup of trump's cabinet; he probably even sees himself as pure as a unicorn compared to them!

I was thinking the same exact thing.

And really, when one considers the accusations against Cuomo versus Adams, President Musk, and DonOld, etc, Cuomo looks downright pious.

I think he has a better than average chance of becoming New York’s next mayor.

Not a perfect man, but faaaaaar better than some potential alternatives.

We shall see…
 
What exactly does "illegal protest" mean?

gulag... so much for free speech unless it supports the corrupt regime

But.. it is kinda ironic..

I mean, we (Europe) just got admonished by 47's sheriff, that we did not have free speech in Europe.

Sorry, but.. it is like watching this, preventable and unnecessary, train crash happening in real time.

Only problem. It is going to cost people's lives.

Bill Nye becomes target of MAGA after making claims about Elon Musk on CNN

it was only a matter of time before they turned on 'the science guy'. because.

“Elon Musk and his guys were revving up — and you know, I’m an engineer, we love engineering,” ... “I used to work on failure effects and modes analysis for airplanes. So these guys found what they thought was the vulnerable part of the U.S. government, which is this digital services office.”

He said that Musk's team "got in there and changed all the passwords and messed everything up as fast as they could."

"And then along that line, people — the system was not set up for it. But understand what’s going on, by firing people at NOAA," Nye said. “By dismantling this public service, you’re not serving the public. This is in nobody’s best interest.”

“So, he found this weak part, this weakness in the U.S. government, exploited it as fast as he could, and now, it’s one thing leading to another and he’s trying to undo a public service and supplant it with one of his. And this is just good old corruption," he said. "So, sooner or later, I believe the court system will catch up with these guys. And, so, it’s just going to be, it’s just — talk about efficiency. Destroying a system that was working and then trying to replace it later is inefficient."

I admire his faith in the court system...
