Morning Joe tacks hard right.

Harris campaigned on being Dick Cheney's bestie, tough immigration,  and steered extraordinarily clear of of anything remotely progressive campaign wise, let alone trans issues and the like. Blind tests of dem's policy showed they were preferred by a large proportion of Americans.

What are these people on?

So Trump is a democrat.

I presume some people understand what I just read!? I know I didn't. 

[Legionista]

Ohh?

Here's the article that sparked the conversation above Ed.

Remember this is Maureen Dowd saying this.

Significant.

Thanks. 

I get lost with the invented terminology of woke, cultural leftist, etc etc.

Is there much difference between a cultural leftist and a cultural marxist?

I have no idea what either of them are

[mack]

I think you have to wear an ushanka to be a cultural marxist.

That’s ok Ed. You are right, they are made up terms used to shame people who dare to treat people with equality and believe that a social safety net is important. If you catch someone accusing you of it, it’s a sure sign they get their news from obscure you tubers and have an subaverage IQ.

Department of Government Efficiency sounds like something from Yes Minister. 

[Legionista]

This will be interesting because small government is something Trump has avoided like the plague.

[Legionista]

[marron]

**** i thought that was a pisstake. Lol.

Wasn't their whole problem with gov departments these people not being elected? Haha.

Oh boy. Watch these guys drain the US economy into their feifdoms through massive consultancy fees and blackholes and whatnot.

You’re not suggesting that a current government contractor getting to decide where the government spends its money might be a massive conflict of interest are you?

[Legionista]

It’s too cosy. It will blow up in their faces. 

[Legionista]

Then there’s this.

This is more concerning.

someone in my area is just letting dogs out of people's backyards just for the fun of hoping they get lost or hit by a car or something, did it to my house today, luckily i was home and my dogs just went to the drive way to bark at random people walking outside of our house but luckily it was easy to get them in, nothing bad happened but hopefully this weirdo gets caught, or mauled, got a good padlock though

Not the greatest article. Pointing out Trump is obsessed with IQ is stating the obvious. He isn’t elitist as much as he is narcissistic. He will project his insecurities like when he calls people “low IQ” whilst at the same time threatening jail time if Wharton reveals his college grades. lol. We all know he isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

It’s hard to take this seriously, it’s like someone is going to reveal a hidden camera or something. But it’s serious. Really really serious. There’s no more qualifications necessary. Just deference to the orange man.

Is cosy another word for serious conflict of interest?
