Trump Russia Attack USA's avatar

This is not an event. Or a situation. It’s war. Words matter. It’s very important in America that we call this what it is and do it now. We are under attack by Trump/Russia. All of the craziness is the shock and awe - let’s not lose sight of the forest for the trees. We are at war. Dear lord the fourth estate - be bold. Speak truth to power. The wellbeing of hundreds of millions if not billions of people depend on it!!!

Press - please name what you are seeing!!!!! Will you believe Trump or your lying eyes as you watch America being attacked???

I keep thinking about your daughter. I hope she’s getting her medication.

There is so much wrong in the country today,

but your love for your daughter is paramount.

Qasim, regarding the first paragraph of your "Conclusion" section, I don't think Elon is interested in tens of billions of taxpayer dollars. I think he wants hundreds of billions.

As for Elon's demand of federal workers, if I worked for the federal government (I don't), I would probably say that if I could reduce a week's worth of work activity to five accomplishments, I wouldn't come close to doing my job: the one I do all day, every day.

Calling him "unqualified" is already conceding way too much. It's like saying a bank robber who poses as an "efficiency expert" as a pretext to get inside the bank vault has sinned primarily by misrepresenting his professional credentials, as opposed to planning a bank robbery. Uh, yeah, he misrepresented something on his resumé, but that's just about the LEAST of his sins...

The only issue with sending an email to OPM is they can easily filter and remove emails that are not from a .gov email address.

So you are sending it with your gmail.com or any other domain, it doesn't really take much to delete emails not from a government email server.

If I was an employee I would just pasted my job duties. I did my job, last week. I highly doubt they will go through all those emails. They are trying to harass them and put fear in them to quit bc they cannot legally just fire them. Smh

Dear Qasim, thanks for the sage advice to NOT troll Elon's email.

Well, I'm a little clumsy with the internet, and I may actually have sent this:

Dear ?

Just wanted to let you know that I accomplished these five things last week:

1. Cleaned my room

2. Gardening -- weeded, transplanted, turned compost

3. Bought groceries and prepared 12 meals

4. Vented my outrage against the current administration in several answers to political surveys

5. Helped several people with various problems they had.

It was a good week!

Thanks for asking.

Karen

Preparing to definitely not clutter the DOGE inbox with my last week’s accomplishments:

Monday: had my free gender reassignment surgery paid for exclusively by Christian fundamentalist taxpayers!

Tuesday: rejoiced in finally getting my dream job of doing backbreaking work in the fields now that those pesky, undesirable immigrants aren’t around to steal jobs from us white people

Wednesday: did 10 pull ups and drank a gallon of bleach to stave off illness and disease

Thursday: felt such glee over the suffering of others and impending economic calamity that I’m certain will only impact minorities and stupid woke folk in blue states that I was unable to get off my couch (the ASMR of children needlessly dying of AIDs, research funding frozen, soaring inflation, and random firings of working class Americans was especially soothing)

Friday: transitioned back to being a girl cause I suddenly changed my mind, and heck why not? It was free!

Oops, I accidentally wrote a letter, but at least it had five accomplishments. I signed off with, "Anyway, thanks for asking. Keep up the work of dismantling everything thst is good about our government and looting the Treasury! I trust billionaires to do what's right for their own personal fortunes and nothing else"

"The question now is this: Who will Trump listen to? His own unqualified but actually appointed representatives in the Federal government, or his own unqualified and unelected owner, Elon Musk?"

THAT'S EASY: Where are the Benjamins?

I've been busy! This went first, followed by a series of memes. And yes, it's my email, I didn't bother trying to hide.

1. Wondered, for the millionth time, how the fuck you got put in a position to basically fuck the entire country.

2. Wondered when they'll deport YOU because you're not here legally.

3. Hoped that Orange Shitler would just drop over dead in the middle of signing another one of his DDs. You know, Dictator Deeds. I refuse to acknowledge that he's POTUS so therefore he can't sign EOs.

4. Hoped that Tesla and Starlink and Twitter all go tits up and bankrupt Elonia.

5. Continued to hope the American people will finally get fed up and revolt. Not in some bullshit, go get Pelosi's podium sort of way. But in a way that stops the Turd Reich dead in its tracks.

Bonus round: Hoped the 12 yo fuckwits running around playing government all get doxxed and then hounded from their homes and restaurants and everywhere else the little cunts are going.
