This is what the “working class slob” wanted cuz egg prices and woke and Harris’s grocery plan or something something. They will definitely benefit financially from this, just like the working class slob has benefitted from dodge and tariffs and soon tax cuts for billionaires (and social security cuts for everyone else).I will admit, they are picking their targets for this with a lot more thought than they were with the actual deportations. They are lulling us into a false sense of security that there is some kind of process for this, where this is really just the opening salvoes against judges that dare to defy Trump. She did this the wrong way, that is the problem here, and it leaves an opening to claim judicial misconduct. It very likely will not hold up in court, but it is the opening they need to start this ball rolling, and once it gets some real momentum we will hardly notice the justices that get taken away just because they rule, lawfully and legally, against the Trump agenda. This is carefully planned out and being executed nearly flawlessly for the Project 2025 team. We need a lot more people to get up in arms about this stuff, to head off the inevitable litany of "well they deserved it" posts on facebook.
That sounds exactly like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy where there are photos showing hundreds of thousands making signs protesting the governments. Who can forget the Italian and German media being so broadly critical of Adolf's and Benito's rule? It is like history is repeating, except everything is completely different and those claiming fascism have no idea what they are talking about.And it is inspiring, to me, to know every last one of those hundreds of thousands of demonstrators sat down and thought: “what do I want my sign to say? What do I want my message to authority to be?”
Our MAGA suppoters call them whiners. Have they checked the polls lately? Whiners? No, the demonstrations are led by American citizens who understand American civics!

DOGE's $160 billion in savings have cost $135 billion, analysis finds
The push by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to slash federal funding will cost taxpayers money, nonpartisan group finds. Here's why.www.yahoo.com
Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, says it has saved $160 billion through its push to root out wasteful or fraudulent government spending. But that effort may also have come at a cost for taxpayers, with a new analysis from a nonpartisan research and advocacy group estimating that DOGE's actions will cost $135 billion this fiscal year.
The analysis seeks to tally the costs associated with putting tens of thousands of federal employees on paid leave, re-hiring mistakenly fired workers and lost productivity, according to the Partnership for Public Service (PSP), a nonpartisan nonprofit that focuses on the federal workforce.
PSP's estimate is based on the $270 billion in annual compensation costs for the federal workforce, calculating the impact of DOGE's actions, from paid leave to productivity hits. The $135 billion cost to taxpayers doesn't include the expense of defending multiple lawsuits challenging DOGE's actions, nor the impact of estimated lost tax collections due to staff cuts at the IRS.
So if you count the lawsuits and the lost tax collection revenue then DOGE was pretty much a waste.

We all knew this was never about savings but about consolidating power into the executive office. And for that it's working very well so far.![]()

Nah. It looks to me like the American people are waking up. You, but of course, want them to remain sound asleep. What on Earth is wrong with you? I cannot honestly predict what will come. But, I can be hopeful for my nation. Why would you want to take that hope away from me? What….on Earth….is wrong with you?!That sounds exactly like Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy where there are photos showing hundreds of thousands making signs protesting the governments
Baloney….It is like history is repeating, except everything is completely different and those claiming fascism have no idea what they are talking about.
