I wondered that as well. If any of them had any sense they’d run for office or reelection on restoring those cuts and hiring back as many experts and professionals for many of those agencies as they possibly can (maybe even with added incentives), even if Republicans try to make it out to be waste of money.

What Dems need to learn to do is actually stand up for those Civil Service jobs and not just give lip service to them. They need to clearly explain how much they contribute to actually saving the gov’t money, providing expertise and advances in all kinds of professions. They do not by and large waste money as the trumpers falsely claim nor do they enable fraud. That comes when only hackers are in charge of the data as tRump has allowed to occur deep within our gov’t.

Yep. And its creepy in a very icky kinda way imo.

All I see is little teenage Ivanka sitting on daddy’s lap while he’s more or less feeling her up in public.

Just yuck.

I never agree with Trump, but there is no way that Iran could not publicly retaliate. It is a matter of saving face. So if you could manage it so that there were no casualties, wouldn’t you?

That said, broadcasting the strike and then bragging about coordinating kabuki retaliation negates the value of the raid, and reverses the face-saving, so in the end he is still his own, and his subjects’, worst enemy.

If immigrant concentration camps get too costly to operate Miller and Trump will just offer internees the option to self-oven.

I’m not so sure.
There’s a perverse sense in two dictatorships conspiring to help each other pump themselves up at their people’s expense.

When a cop arrests you, do you have a right to one free punch, because they laid hands on you first?

Re letting the Iranians bomb our base …

Hell, the GOP gets away with stuff like that all the time. We lost almost 300 Marines in Lebanon; Reagan skates. W ignored the flashing red lights before 9/11 and then screws up Afghanistan and Iraq; he wins re-election.

Meanwhile, the GOP hammered “Benghazi Benghazi Benghazi” and, though Obama was re-elected, it hampered his foreign policy the rest of his term (meanwhile, Reagan was pulling the Iran-Contra crap in HIS second term) and Hillary, despite 11 hours of calm response in hearings, became even more demonized, which didn’t help in 2016. And Biden follows through on Dear Leader’s Afghanistan plan and HE gets blamed.

Dear Leader could let Iran blow up Chicago and Fox News would cheer and the MSM would ask, “Did the Democrat-run city have it coming?”

IOKIYAR.

Which is why some are ignoring the statement. Sounds like a ‘sir’ story to me.

It’s not just women. If you even mildly poke fun at their daddies, RW men will get hysterically pissed off. I use this tactic occasionally.

Guess they’re all still searching for the love the bastards who raised them never gave.

Authoritarians differ among authoritarian nations. Some are very intelligent, some not so much, some more benign, others more malevolent, but they all understand one another to the extent of their authoritarianism.

I’ve been in the “showers” at Dachau concentration camp.

Truly frightening and horrible.

Plus, 1975, you could still smell the burning flesh in the crematoria.

Something that has stuck with me all these years. Just horrific.

Expect a new outrage today, to cover bad economic news.

First-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) growth was revised lower Thursday in light of reduced
consumer spending, surprising economists.
