    Yep.... Trump working overtime to get politics out of governmental agencies.... by firing those that offend him. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/justice-department-fired-official-whose-husband-operated-controversial-iceblock-app/...

    So far the appeals court that heard the governments arguments did not seem to be buying it. From watching comments from a few that keep an eye on how those things trend based upon the oral arguments, the appeals court will be 9-2 at the lowest against the government. The next step would be the...

    To circle back to this... there is a case pending with oral arguments scheduled for today (Thursday 07/31/2025) on appeal that deals with some of his action and the law he has based them on. This is the case that came out of the US Court of International Trade and is on appeal over his (mis)use...

    Gerrymandering has always been a thing. It is done by both the Democrats and the Republicans. If the state does not legislate when the district lines are drawn then it is not "cheating". That's why there are several states that limit when and who can draw the redistricting maps. And the fact...

    That's the issue.. currently Congress is under GOP control and they are all scared of Trump. It's going to take an influx of Democrats to get control sadly. And I say sadly because the GOP that I grew up with is not the GOP of today.

    For his tariffs... yep. Basically he declared a "national emergency" because he thinks other countries are doing the US dirty in business. He also has used the "fentanyl crisis" as an argument to justify tariffs... never mind that in the case of Canada in which he did so the fentanyl that comes...

    I'm looking forward to the time when the SC finally rules that the way Trump is waving tariffs around is not what the law allows and they all get reset to what they were.

    Not a whole lot more that can be done. Honestly, a two stroke motor is dirtier to run that a 4 stroke due to the oil/gas mixture burning dirtier generally. The main reason to use them is the motor is typically lighter than a 4 stroke and for things like blowers and string trimmers that is...

    What is so funny about this... the US will ban a convicted felon from entering the country.

    The Trump thread

    Not for me. I'm not going to jump through hoops to see something on a site that they don't want me to access because of my location. I'm not that "nosey" in the end run. Now, on my phone it is different since i use their function to "hide" my IP and it may allow me through - but I rarely use...

    Do not use a VPN. I have a static IP at the house and use it in almost every instance (as the XF folks could tell you since for at least 5 years I've had the same IP). I don't try to hide my IP or my sites visited since I don't go anywhere that I am ashamed of. The only exception is I...

    Should the death sentence be handed out for murder?

    The problem is for those that are sentenced to death with irrefutable evidence... they have NO need to be on death row for 2-3 decades.

    Yes... and again.. a rehash of many claims from 2020, except Musk's name gets thrown in. Harris and the Democrats had the means, the method and the opportunity to do the same. And a LOT of it is based upon the incoherent ramblings of Trump. And did you actually READ the letter from Buell? The...

    The Trump thread

    If there was evidence... there would be court filings reflecting that. There were plenty of folks pushing the Trump "stolen election" fantasy that claimed there was evidence also... "according to what they had been told". There is a difference between supposition and what "could be" and then...
