Current events discussion

Trump is the secretary of the head of HHS? Wow. Demotion!
That's twice you are ignoring the apostrophe. HHS's. Go read, stop skimming over looking for trigger words.
The Constitution is the "dumbest shit"? Why? because it prevents Trump from having the unlimited power you want him to have?
Your arguments are dumb. Why, why does everything have to be clarified with you???
Nope. but I am damn good at reading words. And words are used to convey thoughts.
Welcome to a think called "the English language". It's a cool place to visit, but obviously not in your wheelhouse.
Are you? HHS's.
Haven't had a drink since Saturday before last. You think the COTUS is "twisted thoughts"?
must be that Communist desire you have.
Ad hominem.
Your post history shows it.
Sorry that you get upset when your own thoughts come back to haunt you.
What are your post showing?
Ahh, except they are.
name the legal advisors on the team. Name the CPAs on the team. Verify they are not violating data privacy laws. Name they are not violating laws of the gov't budget process.
I'll wait.
No, you prove there aren't any.
You quoted a request for OldSlapper to share what he thought, and answered it. Dummy.
Did you think you were him for a second? Got confused by the names?
The sarcasm went right over your head with your hypocrisy. I didn't expect you to come close to understanding the post. I am sure Old_Slapper gets it.
 
Uhmmm yes, the money DOES come from my wallet.
Unlike you, I have a job and pay taxes. Those taxes fund the budget.
But no brain and no memory. I work moron. If the money comes from your wallet you should be all for them finding fraud... unless you are full of shit.
I guess the words confused you. Biden signed a Continuing Resolution on 21 December, 2024. It expires 14 March, 2025. Spending obligations 15 March 2025 and beyond cannot be legally made without the approval of Congress.
Biden isn't the president and this President should do just like Biden and reverse almost everything he did.
In other words: It's an ILLEGAL offer.
Again, show me the statute that states it is an illegal OFFER.
AGAINST THE LAW.
Even the PRESIDENT doesn't get to spend money without approval of Congress. He also doesn't get to freeze spending that is already approved.
Another pesky part of that "bullshit" Constitution, with rh addition of the Impoundment Control Act of 1974.
Stop... you are not smart. Posting shit like this doesn't make you smart. Acting like you know anything about the constitution doesn't make you smart. From day one you have bashed Trump. That is the only "SKILL" you have and you are really stretching that thin.
Are you getting it yet, or still thinking we are under Communist rule?
Damn you are dumb.

LOL - clearly POTUS can and currently is doing just that. What that has to do with where I work is beyond me.
You brought up your job in relation to the illegal stuff Trump is doing with DOGE. So, I guess the relevance question is one you should be asking yourself.
LOL - DOGE already "magically" audited dozens of billions in dollars. And they didn't need to a forensic analysis to do it. Of course since they are looking for crime and only looking for bold faced inefficiency anybody with half a brain can get the job done. It doesn't take a genius to figure out $32k for a transgender comic book for Guatemalans falls under the category of "waste and efficiency." 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yep. A handful of Musks nerds have audited dozens of billions of dollars in money flow, in a few weeks.
They are looking for crime now? They are now forensic accounting criminal analysts?
Cool. Give us a list of all the Muskets who have this title and the backing education to do it.

More of your transgender fears.

But, let's talk about efficiency. Trump's washing machine tariffs.
They raised the price of washing machines by 11%. Oddly, dryers not subject to the tariff went up 11% too.
Thanks to the price increases, 1,500 new jobs were created.
It cost us about $880,000 PER JOB to create those jobs.

The US consumers paid an additional $1.3 BILLION DOLLARS so that private industry could add 1,500 jobs to their payroll.
Efficient.

In the US, 763,888,888 dozen eggs are sold each month.
Trump promised grocery prices would drop on day one.
Eggs now are higher than they ever were under Biden. In fact, they are almost DOUBLE the peak under Biden, with a 17% surge immediately after Trump took office. You know "DAY ONE".
Efficient.

Judges preventing people from agreeing to get paid to leave their job - the shyt the libs are doing to obstruct anything Trump does is fawking hilarious.
Judges preventing a POTUS and his money man from making illegal offers.
Tell me again how Trump has the authority to make spending obligations from 15 March 2025 and beyond.
What part of the Constitution allows for that?

And then tell us all about the extra wording that has been added to the "buyout offers" that says they can be rescinded by the government any time after they have been accepted by the workers.
And since they would have tendered their resignation "voluntarily", they'd be screwed.
 
That's twice you are ignoring the apostrophe. HHS's. Go read, stop skimming over looking for trigger words.
"The president is the secretary of HHS's boss."
HHS's "boss" is Dorothy Fink. Trump is not her secretary.
Words are not that difficult. Try harder.

Your arguments are dumb. Why, why does everything have to be clarified with you???
Referencing the Constitution is "dumb"? Would it be easier for you to understand if it was a meme with pictures? Maybe a cartoon?
Are you? HHS's.
Huh?
Ad hominem.
Showing you have no idea what an ad hominem is.
There are a lot of words and phrases that befuddle you, huh?
What are your post showing?
That I can argue a point with facts, proof, evidence, and that my beliefs, feelings, opinions, do not change facts a whit.
No, you prove there aren't any.
Prove a negative? Not how proof works, kid.
Welcome to the world of grownups.
The sarcasm went right over your head with your hypocrisy. I didn't expect you to come close to understanding the post. I am sure Old_Slapper gets it.
You think answering a request for OldSlapper to post his thoughts, by posting your own thoughts, is "sarcasm"?
Wow. yet another word you obviously don't understand.
Two in one post. Good work!
 
But no brain and no memory. I work moron. If the money comes from your wallet you should be all for them finding fraud... unless you are full of shit.
Mmm hmmm.
I'm all for reducing fraud, waste, and abuse. And I'm all for doing it legally.
When Trump wants to do it and does it legally, I'm all for it.

Biden isn't the president and this President should do just like Biden and reverse almost everything he did.
he already is. Grocery prices are rising. Energy prices are rising. The world thinks we are idiots once again. Government employees are suddenly stranded without a job in foreign countries. People who accepted new jobs with the gov't and quit old ones are now unemployed.
Again, show me the statute that states it is an illegal OFFER.
OK. More school lessons for you.
It's not a "Statute". It's the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Article I, section 9, clause 7
It gives CONGRESS the "Power of the purse", NOT the President.

Stop... you are not smart. Posting shit like this doesn't make you smart. Acting like you know anything about the constitution doesn't make you smart. From day one you have bashed Trump. That is the only "SKILL" you have and you are really stretching that thin.

Dude, you claim to have a degree in Biology with extensive study in Anatomy, and have argued for YEARS that bones do not have nerves in them.
You are the LAST person who should be commenting on who knows what.
Damn you are dumb.
Says the guy who thinks Trump has supreme power in the US, and just does whatever he wants with a stroke of his pen or some of his verbal diarrhea.
Tell me more about the legality of him (or any of his cronies) offering money to Federal employees from 15 March 2025 and beyond.
Explain how it's legal other than "Trump can do whatever Trump wants".
Because, he can't.

Efficient.
Do us all a favor and continue to leave out the reasons for this.
 
"The president is the secretary of HHS's boss."
HHS's "boss" is Dorothy Fink. Trump is not her secretary.
Words are not that difficult. Try harder.
You half wit glass licker. Shut the hell up. You're stupid.

Dr. Dorothy A. Fink is the Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Referencing the Constitution is "dumb"? Would it be easier for you to understand if it was a meme with pictures? Maybe a cartoon?
You doing it is dumb. You think by adding the constitution to your arguments that people will think you know what you are talking about. You don't.
Huh?
Showing you have no idea what an ad hominem is.
There are a lot of words and phrases that befuddle you, huh?
You are probably right. I read the actual definition from 5 different dictionaries. I have NO CLUE.
That I can argue a point with facts, proof, evidence, and that my beliefs, feelings, opinions, do not change facts a whit.
Anyone can if they actually argue with facts, proof, evidence... but you don't. You still haven't shared the statute that makes the offer illegal.
Prove a negative? Not how proof works, kid.
Welcome to the world of grownups.
There is nothing negative about it. Go do some background research on all those people and tell us what you find fraud man.
You think answering a request for OldSlapper to post his thoughts, by posting your own thoughts, is "sarcasm"?
Wow. yet another word you obviously don't understand.
Two in one post. Good work!
Again... is that what your brain put together for you to ask?

If you learned how to read and comprehend you could easily pick up the sarcasm. You know, when I shifted the topic over to you telling me what I can post in the thread like you own this place.

No you are not. You are all about shit being done the way you think it should be done. Welcome to the real world son.
he already is. Grocery prices are rising. Energy prices are rising. The world thinks we are idiots once again. Government employees are suddenly stranded without a job in foreign countries. People who accepted new jobs with the gov't and quit old ones are now unemployed.
Sounds like horseshit so far. Like the ramblings of the liberal left.

The US average gas price is $3.14 and that is thanks to all those Democrat states where they like to **** citizens of their money. June of 2022 under Biden $5.77 national average. Mere pennies right Rob.
OK. More school lessons for you.
It's not a "Statute". It's the CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Article I, section 9, clause 7

Cool, show me the part of the CONSTITUTION that states it is an illegal offer.

No, you claim that. Get it right. Did I bruise your ego? You are bringing up irrelevant topics to this conversation. Are you attempting a spin? Misdirection?

AHHH, Stop it liar. You don't speak for me.
Tell me more about the legality of him (or any of his cronies) offering money to Federal employees from 15 March 2025 and beyond.
Explain how it's legal other than "Trump can do whatever Trump wants".
Because, he can't.
Ok, if he offers it as you are claiming and they take it. When congress says yes, then what? You going to keep crying that Trump was elected legally and is YOUR president?
 
Do us all a favor and continue to leave out the reasons for this.
Ahhh, the "reasons". I thought "reasons" are irrelevant, and it's simply the fault of the president.
Or was that only when Biden was in office? New rules for Trump? New excuses for why he immediately failed to deliver on his promise?
You half wit glass licker. Shut the hell up. You're stupid.
Dr. Dorothy A. Fink is the Acting Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
I gave you multiple tries to catch the ballbusting for your lack of capitalization.
Right over your head. Whoosh.
You doing it is dumb. You think by adding the constitution to your arguments that people will think you know what you are talking about. You don't.
Apparently I DO, hence why I added the info, and showed you it's not a statute.
You could try prove your claims with verifiable facts, except your claims are false.
Make a true claim, then back it up with a verifiable fact.
If it's from a textbook, I can assure you I won't think in any way you wrote the book or are learned in all aspects of what's in it.
Not sure why you assume that because I can tell you what's in the COTUS, I'm playing scholar.
You can (hopefully) tell me what molecules make up water. Would I think that is you claiming to be a chemist? Hardly.

You are probably right. I read the actual definition from 5 different dictionaries. I have NO CLUE.
You could have read it from a dozen dictionaries. That means nothing since you obviously didn't comprehend it.
ad hominem is an attack on the person and not the topic.
Your anti-COTUS views and your pro-Communist views are BOTH yours.

Anyone can if they actually argue with facts, proof, evidence... but you don't. You still haven't shared the statute that makes the offer illegal.
Good lord, you are dull. STATUE is a state law. FEDERAL workers are under FEDERAL regulation.
The CONSTITUTION says that Trump does not have the power of the purse. Let's try again. I underlined and bolded some words to help you out:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7

Trump doesn't make law. Trump doesn't interpret law. Trump is not Congress. Congress decides where the money gets spent.
Get it yet, or still flummoxed?

There is nothing negative about it. Go do some background research on all those people and tell us what you find fraud man.
Holy shit. "Negative" does NOT mean "lacking positive qualities" in this discussion. It means a lack of existence.
You're asking me to disprove something that has yet to be proved. That means you are asking me to "disprove a negative".
If I ask you to disprove that there is a ceramic coffee pot orbiting Mars with a cat in it, I'd be asking you to disprove a negative. NO ONE has proved such a thing exists.

You want me to disprove things about Musks nerd herd that have never been proved. That's not how it works.
Get it?

Again... is that what your brain put together for you to ask?
And you still haven't explained why you are speaking to what Slapper had in HIS mind when he made the post.
You a mindreader? You sitting in his pocket? Is he in yours?
If you learned how to read and comprehend you could easily pick up the sarcasm. You know, when I shifted the topic over to you telling me what I can post in the thread like you own this place.
Kind you like you missing the ballbusting about your lack of capitalization of "secretary".
Touche`
 
No you are not. You are all about shit being done the way you think it should be done. Welcome to the real world son.
So you think the law is not relevant to how things get done, as long as your great lord and savior Trump tells you so?
Sounds like Communism.
Sounds like horseshit so far. Like the ramblings of the liberal left.
The US average gas price is $3.14 and that is thanks to all those Democrat states where they like to **** citizens of their money. June of 2022 under Biden $5.77 national average. Mere pennies right Rob.
Ahhhh, the guy who has been screaming all along that averages are bullshit now wants to use averages to say that prices aren't going up under Trump? IRONIC
Gas in NORTH CAROLINA has gone up over 70 cents since Trump took office. That's a 25% jump in 2 weeks. Eggs are the highest they've been in HISTORY. What happened to "lower prices on day one"?
I guess he lost focus and heard about paper straws, huh?
Cool, show me the part of the CONSTITUTION that states it is an illegal offer.

Wait. You are now claiming I'M the one who said bones do not have nerves in them? WOW. Talk about spin and misdirection.
Posted by the frog in your pocket, perhaps?

AHHH, Stop it liar. You don't speak for me.
And I have said as much. But I can certainly repeat what you say here> And you hate that, because your own words burn you every time.
Ok, if he offers it as you are claiming and they take it. When congress says yes, then what? You going to keep crying that Trump was elected legally and is YOUR president?
"When Congress says yes" to WHAT?
If the money doesn't exist, it's an illegal offer that is being made. Let's try once again:
"No Money shall be drawn from the Treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law; and a regular Statement and Account of the Receipts and Expenditures of all public Money shall be published from time to time.”
— U.S. Constitution, Article I, section 9, clause 7

They do not get to make an offer, have people accept the offer AND THEN ASK CONGRESS IF THE OFFER CAN BE FULFILLED.
Are you truly this dense, or just doing ANYHTING you can to avoid admitting the fuckup?
 
I know I've posted this before. Regarding washing machine tariffs, there is the leftist media version account of Trump's tariffs. Then there is what industry insiders have to say. The cost of an entry level front load machine has increased from $600 to $650 since 2016 (when I bought my washing machine).

Wait so those 2 gov't pensions my dad gets are "illegal?" They committed to a lifetime of payments to my father when clearly they could only commit for a fiscal year. And the second retirement was an early retirement offer made by the Clinton administration. Rob the Constitutional scholar strikes again.
 
Ahhh, the "reasons". I thought "reasons" are irrelevant, and it's simply the fault of the president.
Or was that only when Biden was in office? New rules for Trump? New excuses for why he immediately failed to deliver on his promise?
You have no arguments without reasons Rob.
I gave you multiple tries to catch the ballbusting for your lack of capitalization.
Right over your head. Whoosh.
No, you realized your screw up and true to yourself found some other nonsense to bring up.
Apparently I DO, hence why I added the info, and showed you it's not a statute.
You could try prove your claims with verifiable facts, except your claims are false.
Make a true claim, then back it up with a verifiable fact.

You can (hopefully) tell me what molecules make up water. Would I think that is you claiming to be a chemist? Hardly.
So not a statute, federal regulation, constitutional order... So you made a claim that something is illegal but cannot provide anything to prove that? No case law, no consequences? Nothing?
You could have read it from a dozen dictionaries. That means nothing since you obviously didn't comprehend it.
ad hominem is an attack on the person and not the topic.
Your anti-COTUS views and your pro-Communist views are BOTH yours.
I know this... that is why I said it. Your personal attack on me calling me a communist. Or do you have some spin for that shit too?
Good lord, you are dull. STATUE is a state law. FEDERAL workers are under FEDERAL regulation.

Seriously, you have no clue. You are a coffee fetching secretary man with no drive to better your employment. You sit on here trying to educate us like you know all. If this were true you would be using your vast knowledge to earn more money. But you don't because you don't.
Holy shit. "Negative" does NOT mean "lacking positive qualities" in this discussion. It means a lack of existence.
You're asking me to disprove something that has yet to be proved. That means you are asking me to "disprove a negative".
If I ask you to disprove that there is a ceramic coffee pot orbiting Mars with a cat in it, I'd be asking you to disprove a negative. NO ONE has proved such a thing exists.
Oh my... are you changing definitions to fit your argument?!?!?!? Are you admitting there is more than one definition for a given word and that the context of the converfuckingsation matters!!!!!! HOLY JUMPING DOG SHIT!!!!
You want me to disprove things about Musks nerd herd that have never been proved. That's not how it works.
Get it?
I want you to do a background on each of them and prove they are not qualified so you can prove us all wrong.
And you still haven't explained why you are speaking to what Slapper had in HIS mind when he made the post.
You a mindreader? You sitting in his pocket? Is he in yours?
Because this is an open ******* forum, thread and I will speak when I want to speak. I do not need your permissions for jack shit kid. If you don't like it, I don't give a ****. Hit the ignore button, jump ship and go away or just accept that you don't run anything. Not your home, not your kids, not your ex-wife, not your job and certainly not Granny.
Kind you like you missing the ballbusting about your lack of capitalization of "secretary".
Touche`
I know, when all else fails for the left they can always fall back on being grammar Nazis. At least you have that.
 
Does anybody remember the good old days when Clinton/Gore tried to bring efficiency to the gov't? All the liberals were raising hell, daily meltdowns on MSNBC.

Little bit of trivia, Laura Ingram and Ann Coulter co-hosted a show when MSNBC first launched.
