@Angry_Staffer My only complaint about it is the amount of money that will have to be spent, again, to change everything back.

SecDef renamed Fort Liberty Fort Roland Bragg (not after the Confederate general) assuming that MAGA would be too dumb to notice MAGA was too dumb to notice. I support this decision

@Rust_And_Decay @DonaldShim21940 @DividedWeFa11 @Angry_Staffer Oh, yeah, it's great for the government to shut down 5 days before Christmas. Are you going to forego *your*salary while it's shut down? Are you fortunate enough to afford that, because not all are?

@DonaldShim21940 @DividedWeFa11 @Angry_Staffer Negotiations aren’t over we’ll see tomorrow and if they shut it down that’s good too Trump can come in and pass his budget immediately

The cruelest part of the Musk-Trump shutdown? Their little Johnson will continue to be paid—despite the fact that he fails miserably at his job—while thousands of dedicated civil servants will be forced to work while not knowing when their next paycheck will come. At Christmas.

@MargaretAtwood Let's throw off those robes!

@Angry_Staffer We have two kids that go to school there. Thankfully on campus is doing well, they have electricity and water. Off campus is devastating. I've read that the community is helping as best they can, as well as the university doing what it can to help the community.

This is crazy. The multi-state damage is unreal.

@Angry_Staffer She also made a point of introducing herself to him when she did it, which I loved.

I like that she forced the handshake. He wanted to be a baby and avoid it.

My Mother's Day gift from @AltScalesOfJust makes my Goonies loving, GenX heart happy. I had this set from Godfather's Pizza as a kid. #GooniesNeverSayDie #Vintage #Nostalgia #GodfathersPizza @SeanAstin

@Angry_Staffer @Doc_feminist This has been the case for decades too! My dad worked at the Pentagon in the 80's and even then local delivery was monitored. I worked for a steak delivery place in Alabama in the 90's and told them about this and encouraged them to open a franchise in DC, lol.

@Doc_feminist Dominos, We The Pizza, and Papa John’s all get the extra business

It’s true. If you ever want to know if something big is happening in the defense world, check the pentagon pizza index

@AltScalesOfJust I can attest to this.

The collective knowledge of humanity is contained in my open browser tabs

@NFL Once again, why would you bother to introduce the ASL interpreters, if you're not going to show them signing even once. Every damn year. Do better! #SuperBowl2024

@DrSturg I was unable to even tag him in a previous post a couple weeks ago... So some progress I guess.

Well, that's no good. #SaveScales

@AltWASONPS @Angry_Staffer @AltSpaceForce1

@AltScalesOfJust has been unable to access the platform since the beginning of October. So far no success with X support, but he's still trying! #SaveScales

@SeanAstin I met someone today with the same name and we reminisced about her. I commented that I had a huge crush on you, and my dad had a huge crush on your mom, lol.

@debbates101 @Angry_Staffer I've been saying this for years. I feel like all our government leaders should have to go through the same security clearance checks to be able to run that regular Fed employees go through. And if they don't pass, then they're not qualified to serve!

@Angry_Staffer Now other countries are pissed that tfg had access to and potentially used classified docs to share secrets of our allies along w/ US secrets. We cannot afford to lose their trust so how do we prevent this in the future? Can POTUS candidates be forced to get security clearance?

Hey look, the cracks are forming

@DrSturg We have those here and it's wild when they switch from the normal hooting to the monkey calls, lol.

@AltScalesBtrHlf standard barred owl "Who cooks for you?" but owlets would be amazeballs.

The owls in the woods around my house are going nuts at the moment for some reason.

@DrSturg My daughter was in Berlin last summer and was telling me about this. We could certainly learn from Germany about how to present our unpleasant history so that we learn from it, but don't glamorize it.

Today in history, Hitler shot himself in his bunker as soviet soldiers closed in. The Germans filled in the bunker and today it is parking lot, only marked by a small historical sign. In this way, there is no spot for pilgrimages or martyrdom.

This is exactly the kind of message we should be getting (and encouraging) from every member of Congress. We need to break through the false outrage and indignation machines that are today’s media and social media (and therefore politics), and encourage rational discussion
