Yes Sweetcell but democrats had the government this past four years. If there is a need for cost cutting as you say why didn’t they?

Did democrats run on making government more efficient?

same answer to both: you can't run on everything, so they didn't hype government efficiency.  i don't think it's something that the average voter is pining for, but i could be wrong there.  the GOP did include cost-cutting in their promises, and they won, so who knows… but i'm not seeing a lot of public expressions of anticipation for efficiency - i'm seeing that folks are excited for lower costs at the grocery store, not fewer federal employees.

Run on everything?

They ran on joy and the bad orange man.

Is this the worst cabinet in history?

He’s doing this to fulfill promises to his inner circle. He doesn’t care if they’re confirmed or not. If any of them do pass confirmation, they won’t last a year.

I'm down with this wishcasting. I want to believe.

Special election would not fill the seat for over a year per Florida law. It would just sit empty.

Apparently because he resigned they can fill Gaetz’ seat during recess or some such.

What I read yesterday said he could not resign the term he was just reelected for until January __th and therefore the timeline is bad. But I’m likely out of loop.

Burgum for Interior


Surprised it’s not the head of Exxon

Relative to the others, this is a very fine pick I have no complaints about.

I hope you all buy these to place on gas pumps and wherever bacon is sold

Weird thing is price of gas ended up at $2.99/gallon. Not shabby. Arguably cheapest ever (taking into account inflation). I wouldn’t say it was high during most of the Biden years.

It wasn’t gas prices that was the problem. It was food. When you see people pick up a package of meat, look at price and put it back over and over again. $5.99 for small bag of chips…$7-$8 for a gallon of milk…

But that could have all been addressed by showing some concern…they ignored it. Obviously you aren’t going to lose votes in Arlington over it. But the lower middle class is now republican. What we have seen is a political realignment.

Up 30 cents in my environs. Thanks, Trump.

That s weird…here in Arlington it’s hit 2.96 at the expensive gas station….

⛽️

2.79 is lowest in Arlington according to gas buddy ..thank you Joe!!!


Fortunately I don’t care about gas prices…I learned from the worst how NOT to do it

My dad was always a miser but when he got older and started to lose it things got real bad and he would drive from ritzy Collins Ave Miami Beach over causeway and up route 1 to a dangerous area to save a penny or two per gallon… one time he took me along when I visited him

I was like “Dad you are using up all this gas to get to the cheap gas and might get killed!!”


So sad.

RIP dad

CNN a few minutes ago

is it just me or does that headline need a grammar check

Yeah… TDS is real

Here's a suggestion human garbage representative from North Carolina, why not actually have a conversation with the incoming New Jersey representative you are so desperate to score points off of…

man that felt good

NP: Jon Muq - Flying Away

well here's a grift endorsement that boardies should be able to get behind: an official trump guitar!!!



available in both electric and acoustic versions, and even a $10,000 autographed option!  rock out with your MAGA out!!!


(these guitars appear to be utterly unimpressive… but i doubt the target audience for these are actual guitar players looking for an alternative to a similarly priced les paul)

Gibson should sue
