He was smart to put it on them and to call them out on what they were doing.

Somebody needs to keep them in check.

No president in my time on this earth has ever done that.

Again I am not a Trump fan but he does have some balls and doesn't care what they think.

Yes he signed a REDLINED bill with many desired changes which means today Congress has again vote to approve it otherwise it's DEAD.

 

 

Do you have a link to a story that confirms this version of things?

 

Cause the versions I read say things like this:

 

While the president insisted he would send Congress “a redlined version” with spending items he wants removed, those are merely suggestions to Congress.

That is my understanding as well.

The atomic bomb, had the same affect on people. It still is very impressive on the fail scale of most counter productive creations produced by mankind. All it takes is one to come in like a wrecking ball, and mess it all up.

Trump's a narcissist, he cares very little for anything, except for the glowing orange meat slab, glorifying him in the mirror. The fact Trump had his, big boss man daddy money and his overlord connects in NYC real estate business, didn't help the situation that help inflate that  Hindinburg sized ego of his.

Alexei Navalny has balls, cuz assassin rubbed a neurotoxin in his underwear to kill this guy, almost did. He got better and got the confession for the assassination attempt on him. I doubt Trump's are as advertised. It's all about perspective with Trump, and he likes a show to make things seem better than they are.

Narcissism is extremely prevalent in society these days and egos are larger than ever.

I really don't care for people like Trump but he is the president and I am glad he is trying to help America and its population and not take advantage of them like most politicians.

You want proof of narcissism just get on you tube and look at all the channels where people just talk about themselves  and make everything all about them.

To think that the whole internet is interested in what they do on a daily basis is the height of narcissism.

Narcissism is the pursuit of gratification from vanity or egotistic admiration of one's idealised self-image and attributes. Trump has displayed on several accounts, pointed out by official psychologist, as showing danger signs of narcissism. His own niece, Mary Trump, who is a psychologist, said he's a narcissist.

I don't believe Trump is trying to help, except get revenge for losing a election republicans won't help him nullify, cuz it makes him look bad, like "a loser."

Can we as a society benefit from his narcissistic outbursts of revenge, not so sure...cuz he spent most his holiday pardoning friends who were guilty of treason, as well as other white collar and dangerous criminals, between golfing sessions at his "Winter White House" mansion club. Instead of  managing the pandemic and making sure to help slow the spread of Covid... He's already taken advantage of the American people more than anybody wants to admit to...it just hurts how bad and blatant the swindling was. After 4 years of books are just a drop in the bucket on describing how much damage he has caused.

I know there are narcissist on YouTube...Facebook...Twitter...etc. World is a scary place and the internet is just as scary. Doesn't matter how big they are or if they be kissed on the butt by God and claimed ruler of the moon, Narcissist only have one person in mind and that's themselves and to hell with anything else that doesn't worship them. It's a sickness.

It is a sickness and I point it out to you tubers all the time.

I get nasty messages back of course but that only proves my point.

if you worked last year then you are getting $ 600 and unemployment gets $300 for 11 weeks starting week ending 26 of December. I dont know where this money is coming from but it will keep the economy going until Joe Biden Ruins it. Get ready for 3 dollar gallons again and no work. My trade was booming before covid now you cant even buy a job.

According to MSN they have not reached agreement on the amount yet.

Left blaming right right blaming the left same old same old.

Well, the $600 stimulus already landed in my account as of this morning. I thought it was still undecided so I didn't expect to see it at all.

 

Love,

Trump signed the bill with the $600 stimulus check and unemployment extensions in it and tried to do a line veto on the parts he didn't like. Unfortunately for him, the courts took the line veto power away from the presidency during the Clinton administration when Bill tried to do it. A few mad lads in congress are now trying to get a new bill for $2000 passed and it's being blocked by the usual suspects. By which I mean McConnel, the R's and the corporate Democrats.

 

Last I knew, they were adding poison pills to the bill to make it unpalatable to Democrats while Bernie and some allies were calling for a single issue bill. So long as McConnel is in charge of the Senate, it's unlikely to see light of day.

 

Hugs!

       Well McConnel's Senate Majority days may be numbered as I plan on sitting this one out, will not participate in a fraudulent national election system. and may only cast a vote for Georgia's Public Service Commission which is also fraught with major swamp abuse & cost overuns. 

       "Blackman" is pro-residential solar and that billion$ dollar 'new nuke plant' you see pictured may NEVER be finished yet GA power customers are on the hook for the bill regardless!

My 600 was DD on the 1st.

So what I am going to do is find a local small business I deal with a lot and spend all 600 worth.

Both McConnell's and Pelosi's houses were vandalized and spray painted, asking "where's the 2k". Could have been far worse.

Politicians might like playing their games, but they easily forget they can buy a new house others cannot afford the basic necessities of life. Both historical and even in the stories of old, it doesn't take much for even a small town majority to start showing teeth in times of injustice. Them signs don't look good... $600 and crumbs won't hold or distract for long.

Vandalized is technically correct but doesn't paint an accurate picture. There was just some spray-painting. It's not like they've got broken windows and smashed furniture. They're worth billions (McConnell) and millions (Pelosi) respectively. They should be able to afford a power washer.

Seems that's what the people who painted those houses did. Not sure it was worth it. Self-employment rarely pays well, has benefits or considers holidays. My concern is what jobs people choose to do if normal employment can't be found or afforded. At least the cleaners will be getting paid for the power washing.

I'm sure you didn't mean to make a pun. Pelosi did have a present left for her on top of everything(don't feel like repeating what's in the article). It's not civil or helpful in getting money to the people. Might seem minor but how many times have people left messages spray-painted on people's doorstep and ment well by it.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.
