Fork in the road letter

[WRO]

Regan didn’t have to cheat contractors, lie to supporters, fuc porn stars, surround himself with people in and out of prison, pardon guys who literally broke in and schit in the halls of congress, belittle the military and generals at the highest level, sell wrist watches and tennis shoes. . . I could keep going.

Regan would be embarrassed at what’s happened to the party, and offended if you were to compare what he did with Trump’s circus. He didn’t have to convince his followers they were victims.

As a guy who works in development, there’s a long list of contractors that’ll claim screwed them, yet every time the court hasn’t agreed.

Most of them don’t read their plans or contracts..

Aww. That’s cute you think two sentences will convince me two decades of his bad behavior were a figment of my imagination. Lol

Your experience in no way affects my opinion of anything. Lol

If you did understand developers in New York during that time you’d know the contracts didn’t mean anything and created nothing binding on the developer - everyone knew it and if you worked for him it was known you may not get paid. The same thing is true for a lot of commercial development, but you knew that already. No?

I’m just sitting back with popcorn watching the next 4 years - this is all you man - let’s see the best you got. So far you’ve blamed a plane crash on midgets, started a trade war with our closest trade partners, called the entire federal labor force lazy, purged the FBI, cut off all federal grant money then back pedaled, Oligarch Elon is busy, and the cabinet picks other than Little Marco are a tiny car full of circus clowns. You are correct that in no way have I ever enabled Trump in any way, so I will not take credit for any of it going forward.

I think always Trumpers are awesome - you guys see the good in every situation, and like the Bible dudes that knock on doors to talk about Jesus, never give up. Most of my closest friends are always Trumpers and I love to see them succeed - it’s just as much fun to point out the crazy schit their girlfriend says. Lol

Totally agree with all those points. But then it should be applied across the Federal system., Does RFK Jr have any qualitfiians to oversee healthcare in our country? He couldn't even answer basic policy and department questions in the hearing,....basic. Plenty of public health officials, nurses, doctors who have WAAAY more insight and experience. The Washington process has just broken down, no one holds anyone accountable or makes independent. Our political system is broken.

I can understand those points but at the same time people who are considered “qualified” have put us in the position we are in. A vast majority of those who we vote to represent us have no more experience doing their job than we do. Those who are in these confirmation hearings are just a mouthpiece for the companies that pay for their campaigns. Bernie Sanders questioning RFK about the pharmaceutical industry…..I believe Bernie is second on the list of most funded by pharma.

Right now I’d rather see people like RFK, Patel, Hegseth, etc, than those we’ve been confirming. We are so far down the crapper that the only way to fix it is to break it. DEI absolutely leads to nothing good.

Vote for the policy not the man. He was the only option to start digging our country out of the mess weak men with no spine got us into.

Like I said, i did my part you can thank me in 4 years when the country is better off. Then vote for someone who doesn’t hurt your feelings so much. Cause literally everything you mentioned is just an emotional response. Same reason liberals hate Trump so much, emotions.

There is a time for emotions then there is a time to step on throats and get stuff done. We were at that point. In the end he didn’t need your vote.

 

[Fireflyfishing]

This was not what the founding fathers envisioned but it keeps getting bigger which it seems you are happy with the status quo.

When have I stated the status quo is the way to go?

So you are saying he has been in office for two weeks and he hasn't worked with congress on anything? You must have some serious connections to know everything that is going on in DC.

Please, inform me of legislation he’s working to pass with them in the next two years.

President's can be voted out by the shareholders (voters).

Yes, within 4 years. Private industry has the latitude to do it much faster.

It amazes me how quickly people turn. It's been two weeks.

Well, I’m not in love with him, and I don’t think he is infallible. You only get two choices, and I voted for the better choice IMO. Should I back him lockstep on every decision? Sorry, won’t do that.

What is he not being transparent about?

Well, there is no plan me or my leadership (or anyone in the feds) has seen regarding the short and long term federal employment plan other than:
1. Here’s an offer to resign with severance. We don’t care how valuable you might be, but we want you out…because that’s just better. No one knows if it’s legal or possible, but they might or might not figure that out after the deadline.
2. We want the best of the best working for the federal government. To accomplish this, we will lord over you with fear based leadership hoping to make it miserable enough for you to go.
3. For those that stay, we will be basing federal employment on a merit based system. Only after we’ve purged the fed and you may have to do the job of several other positions.
4. Hiring freeze…when will that be over?
5. We’re considering your retirement and benefits way too generous. This needs to be reduced.
6. Because you are a federal employee, you are guilty until proven innocent.

DEIA is there with one purpose to hire based on race, color, religion, sexual orientation, etc. So you agree with this practice? If not what is your issue getting rid of the employees that are there to enforce this? Should we pay them to do nothing?

No I don’t agree with DEI. You claimed no federal employees are not being removed yet. These folks are getting removed right now. As are many FBI employees.

I don't know how the appropriations work in this case. I believe it is pretty far fetched that the government won't pay out what was promised.

I’m guessing you don’t trust the gov’t is capable of doing anything right. Just a hunch. Here you do trust them to be honest and get it right. Even after abundant proof Musk didn’t honor his deal with the former Twitter employees.

You say you're not thrilled with the way it's being handled. What would President Fireflyfishing do? Let the blob swallow you and get nothing done or do everything in your power to do what you promised to do?

Well, not lead fellow Americans under fear based leadership and stay off social media…for starters.

One more serious question. You say the dems will take back congress in two years. This may be true. If so nothing will change because they will fight anything that will help this country just so trump won't get a win. It was proven last go round. Nothing gets through congress and the senate in a year most things take many years. What are you proposing he just kicks back and do nothing?

I think he ran a great campaign. He got people behind him and his stances. Hence his resounding win. Now that he’s in office, I get the feeling he’s got a huge chip on his shoulder and he’s handling certain things like a petulant child. I know he’s been through the wringer on many things that were unjustified in the last four years. IMO, he’s going to need to lead the country rather than make the next four years revenge based.

I was astounded he brought DEI into the AA/Army helo crash.

The dems were successful getting the Affordable Care Act through. Why can’t the red side get some lasting legislation through…or even repeal the ACA?

Like I said, this is all your show - I’m just watching. It would be awesome if Trump was the type of leader the country needs and he does good, but that’s not likely based on how he did last time. Or is this time different for some reason?

If I’m wrong, I’ll gladly say for 40 years I’ve been wrong about him. Like teenage boys, I judge politicians based on the outcome of their actions not their words.

I'll ask again...

How do you feel things went the past few years?

What would you do to improve things?

 

[westsloper]

damn near 40 Trillion is debt….

3 million fed employees

There were nearly that many federal employees in 1980 and the population of the country was more than 100 million less. The national debt in 1980 was less than one trillion. I don't think federal employees are the problem.

What would you do to start to fix that debt?

 

[swavescatter]

What would you do to start to fix that debt?

Actually tax billionaires?

 

[Steve300xcw]

Actually tax billionaires?

Hell I'd start by not sending it to other places.............

Was just wondering what the guy making the most noise would do.

 

[Predator_SD]

Actually tax billionaires?

They’re already taxed so now what?

 

[TaperPin]

We have the world’s best post-Covid economy. Anyone who wants a job has one. There hasn’t been a recession and inflation numbers are within a few percentage points of the long term goal of 2%. Everyone I know is killing it. Point to the GDP graph where we aren’t doing great:




I could give two schits if you are butt hurt because gay girls can marry. Non of that effects me - I don’t hang out with trannies and flaming gays.

What is it that you feel has victimized you? You get rilled up over made up causes that get amplified on X or Truth, or News Max, and I hate to tell you, but Bud Light isn’t your enemy.

I’ll be glad to get a secure boarder, as does almost every person in the country. News Max doesn’t mention that because they want to perpetuate the us vs them story, or I should say the Oligarchs need that to keep votes. There was a bipartisan bill to strengthen the border that Trump killed - you see a lack of actions, yet believe his words.

It pisses me off when this is ok. If you don’t understand that, you don’t want to improve the country, but just tear it apart like some South American banana republic.

It is obvious you work for somebody.

Yeah I get that...but by that logic then no one is qualified and just hire anyone. I hope they get rid of all DEI and then we cam just move on.....but it seems that political leaders, left and right, just use these issues, but in the end it's all about the money, none of which you and I will see
