"Raw earth" is dirt and rocks.

Like, y'know, in TSF's head.

Yes, Trump's behavior toward Zelenskyy was repulsive and abominable, but...

...look closer at it. Trump is that guy who's feeling it all slip away. Vance was the guy who did a lot of the talking. Trump had to jump in to show who was the actual boss, but floundered badly and then actually got so frustrated he physically shoved Zelenskyy, looking more like a cranky alte kocker than a strong man.

Musk has been stealing his thunder, and now Vance. He knows it's almost over for him.

Military people take an oath to defend the Constitution.

If TSF were to clearly defy a SCOTUS ruling, what is their obligation then?

Seems obvious TSF's MO for getting stuff through Congress...

...is to call for a vote and then threaten to break legs til it passes.

Just back from an anti-Musk anti-Trump protest at a Tesla dealership in Mt Kisco, NY

200+ people, I'm guessing. Good energy.

So TSF's an EO junkie now.

Problem is, all addicts ultimately need bigger and bigger doses of their drug of choice to get the same high. What's next for him? Does he actually start putting out contracts on people?

Isn't it obvious from fElon's management of DOGE...

...that his intelligence is100% an Emperor's New Clothes situation.

Over a decade ago, Social Security sucked money out of my bank account.

My wife had just passed away and her Social Security disability payment appeared in the bank balance after the date of her death. I was about to consult an accountant as to the proper thing to do when the money was clawed back by SS. They were clearly in the right in their actions in this particular case.

Still, it's worth knowing that the machinery for moving money out your account has been in place for 10+ years. I'm sure it's still there.

On edit: I changed the title to Social Security. Apologies.

Y'know, if Social Security and Medicare suddenly were hit by deep cuts...

...My ability to survive goes to zero. There would be many, many others just like me.

Suppose Mump is prepared to deal with an army of pissed off people with nothing to lose?

Isn't it obvious that a key part of Trump's plan for Gaza...

...is the extermination of the Palestinians?
