Trump 2.0: MAGAA

[UNI88]

Don't disagree on Andreessen but what if they're both right and there is good and bad about the CFPB?

Should we be throwing the baby out with the bath water?

A good leader would try to save the good and get rid of or fix the bad. A lazy/selfish leader would say get rid of it all. What will trump and musk try to do?

Well they never said they were going to stop everything USAID does. Just roll it into State and get rid of the waste/fraud/abuse.

What about the CFPB? Are they going to roll it into other agencies and get rid of the oversight that keeps them and their wealthy establishment bros from ripping people off?

P2025 prescribed it, Vance laid the groundwork over the weekend, and now with the new ruling and administration’s plans to appeal, MuskTrump is toying around with a constitutional crisis.

Control the courts, control the media, build mass detainment centers…there’s a bit of a trend here.

Rogan is so solid on the majority of his takes. Hes just smarter than the idiots still left in the democrat party.

I don't know if that's a good idea.

An uninformed bureaucrat is a bad idea and these subscriptions might help them do their jobs and actually save taxpayer dollars.

When I worked for a Fortune 500 company, there was a time that my boss was slipping away to attend a bunch of secret meetings. We found out what the meetings were about when the CEO made a public announcement about how we were going to be the 2nd major company in our space to do something groundbreaking (at the time) and that we would do it in 6 months. That's when my boss brought me onto the project. After the information technology people went over how they planned to accomplish the task, I proceeded to ask them a bunch of question which shot holes in their plans and put our ability to deliver in 6 months in serious doubt. I then proceeded to offer them an alternative solution which they took, researched and decided was the best way to move forward. How did I, off the top of my head without any prep time, know what the potential problems were with their proposed solution and what a alternatives there were? Because my company paid for subscriptions to Gartner and Forrester and I'd been reading research papers on related topics. We met the 6 month deadline. Those subscriptions were and are expensive but they paid for themselves many times over in that instance alone.

Don't underestimate the power and importance of information.

Apples to oranges. Every company’s #1 goal should be being profitable. If you aren’t, you’re out of business. Then everyone loses out: your employees, customers, shareholders if public company. For employees its do a good job to get pay raises, promoted, and even keep your job. Poor job gets you fired. Sometimes even mediocrity. That magazine informed you how to produce or accomplish something.

Govt has no profit incentive. Fed govt need more $$ just print more from the magic money trees in DC. Govt doesn’t produce anything. Those news/political magazines don’t tell you how to produce anything. Poor and mediocre jobs don’t get you fired. If you have govt scientists and its a science journal, or govt engineers (NASA) and its an engineering journal, ok, maybe, but OTOH those GS 13-16 and SES level make enough $$ they could afford to pay for their own science or engineering journal(s)

As far as the news/political, plenty of free news on both sides. The taxpayers don’t need to be paying for ones that lean one way or the other, esp if they are mostly paying for ones that mostly lean one way.

Weekly MAGA Minute:

[Baldy]

I prefer presidents who are not convicted felons, who have not had a TRO placed against them, are not in contempt of court, and do not force a constitutional crisis.

Defend this one, cultists….

"Constitutional Crisis"

Calm down before you get the vapors, Margaret.

Due to the laziness of Congress, the executive branch has been delegated very broad authority how and where to spend the money that has been budgeted towards executive branch agencies. It's been this way for almost 100 years.

Has Trump given any of these courts the middle finger? Which one of these courts has ruled that Trump is in contempt of court? Where is this so-called constitutional crisis?

The Trump administration is still prohibiting National Institutes of Health (NIH) staff from issuing virtually all grant funding, an NIH official tells Popular Information. The ongoing funding freeze is also reflected in internal correspondence reviewed by Popular Information and was reiterated to staff in a meeting on Monday. The funding freeze at NIH violates two federal court injunctions, two legal experts said.

The funding freeze at NIH puts all of the research the agency funds at risk. As the primary funder of biomedical research in the United States, NIH-funded research includes everything from cancer treatments to heart disease prevention to stroke interventions.

Biden laid the groundwork.

Huh?

Not exactly.

The Biden administration has continued to try implementing new student loan forgiveness plans following a Supreme Court ruling in June 2023 rejected an earlier scheme.

However, the new SAVE plans are not the same as those rejected by the Supreme Court. They apply to fewer people, do not provide immediate loan forgiveness and instead seek to reduce monthly payments and the total number of years until payments are forgiven. These newest plans have faced resistance from Republican-led states.

This is a highly ignorant post. Look up the achievements of the CFLB. It’s brought back billions to consumers from criminal banks.

Lets see whom to believe more:
-One of the most innovative tech inventors in the country who has founded/co founded numerous tech companies and is in the World Wide Web Hall of Fame.
-Kalm from CS.com
Hmmm…..


Really not a difficult choice.

Do you think that the tech innovator’s economic philosophy aligns with working class populists? Cenk is right. This is simply defunding the police for corporate malfeasance. I woukd expect nothing but deregulatory outcry from Andreesen as his interests and fiduciary obligations are unshackled profit taking.

Kalm from CS FTW.

Oversimplification of the value and use of information. Government might not have a profit motive but having the right information to get things done quickly and efficiently is good for the taxpayer. The comparison applies but your qult membership requires you to dispute anything contrary to qult doctrine whether it makes sense or not.

After the NIH’s NIAID under Fraudchi funded Gain of Function research through the Eco Health Alliance to the WIV for the Corona Virus, they should have their funding yanked.

All of it? I have a doctor friend at the VA who disagrees.

Additional evidence of a constitutional crisis: Veeps tweet that courts have no jurisdiction over the executive.
