Top MAGA influencer Steve Bannon is warning the Republican Party about targeting Medicaid in its efforts to find money to fund its extension of the 2017 tax cuts.

Tax cut for the rich I might add. Here is the thing. Trump doesn’t care about MAGA anymore. He was elected as president for life. He already told you MAGA types this would be your last time to vote. He will fix everything so there is no longer a need to vote again. Did you think he was kidding? So, he doesn’t need you anymore. So, bend over. Trump has already screwed his farmer coalition by freezing all the money for farmers. They never saw it coming. I mean, he has never told the truth about anything his whole entire life, why start now. You elected a man with no conscience he is God’s gift to you. Just ask him. Medicaid, Medicare and social security, someone has to pay for his billionaire friends to get richer and it is you. The thing that really annoys me is I get screwed right along with you, me and the other six million veterans. A great many MAGA veterans out there do you feel the pain yet, get ready you will. This is what having a dictator is like. I guess getting cheap eggs is worth losing all your benefits. With cheap gas and milk. Wait a minute, that’s not happening either. Eggs right now are not cheaper, that is if you can find any eggs to buy. What is this just five weeks into MAGA. Musk has just got started. Trump has fired all Inspector Generals who make sure you the American citizen doesn’t get screwed. A Federal Judge told Trump he couldn’t do that, and Trump said screw you I’m boss now mind your own business. Trump owns all check and balances in our constitution. There is no one left to stop him. John Adams, the second US president, said, “Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other”. This last elect proved the USA is MAGA, a moral and religious people are in the minority. The USA is no longer a democracy congratulations. HAPPY PRESIDENTS DAY. (I need to capitalize that because I was yelling when I wrote it)

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A poll released on Presidents’ Day reveals that Barack Obama is the most popular living US president while Elon Musk is the least.
Musk garnered a lower approval rating than the avian flu, RFK Jr.’s worm, and the asteroid called 2024 YR4, which scientists believe could destroy Earth in 7 years.
According to a majority of those polled, Musk could destroy the planet in half that time.
In perhaps the worst news for the Tesla CEO, when people were asked who they would trust with their computers, Musk was trounced by Hunter Biden.

Some 3,400 US Forest Service employees are being fired. It is unclear how many of those jobs are in Colorado, but the terminated positions include those responsible for wildfire mitigation, range and timber management, habitat conservation, and outdoor recreation management. Colorado has 11 million acres under USFS

My burning question is, who is going to rake our forests and prairies to prevent fires? Not me. I already have a job.

And here is an interesting stat....national forests produce $400,000 in economic activity for every USFS employee. I know our youngest son has spent a ton of money on mountain biking, kayaking, and cross country skiing and snowshoeing. If trails or waterways are closed for safety reasons due to lack of personnel, he won't be spending that money. A side consequence will be possibly increased depression which is managed in large part by those activities.

Our oldest son has helped build and rejuvenate trails. And our daughter has worked on the prairies doing fire mitigation and tree maintenance. Whenever they do those things, they are also spending money in the surrounding small towns buying food and gas and novelty items, sports equipment, etc.

None of them use drugs/alcohol, so I have to wonder if more kids/young adults had access to such activities if we might not put a dent in the epidemic of drug abuse.

But let's keep musk employed building exploding rockets with the hope of soon reaching Mars, which if and when it happens, will be for only an elite few. ROI be damned

BREAKING: The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of Federal Aviation employees just weeks after the fatal mid-air collision over the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., as well as other deadly plane crashes. According to the Associated Press, the impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said in a statement Monday it was “analyzing the effect of the reported federal employee terminations on aviation safety, the national airspace system and our members.”


@stan_p_bluepill


Instead of improving aviation safety after fatal crashes, Trump is firing the people who keep planes in the air. When disaster strikes again, we’ll know exactly who to blame.

"the president of the United States declared himself a national savior who doesn’t have to worry about little things like laws"

The Supremes gave him absolute immunity, so why worry about laws?
