I would generally agree, the one extra factor though is that Trump will never admit he was wrong for selecting him to begin with, so there would have to be some kind of betrayal that he cuts him off for. Last I heard he was still saying Pete is a great guy and top choice, so it’ll be interesting to see what he spins to blame it on someone other than himself.

Sorry Pete, you’ve become a political liability. Take your $10B severance and hit the bricks beach.

Let’s tack Donnie into that call for losing their job for not doing a damn thing to prevent this after the first time around. Incompetent management, why do we not have a no-confidence vote mechanism?

There where a couple women in charge of military divisions, head of the coast guard was one I think. I’m sure there have been plenty that he sees as DEI that got tossed without a lot of reporting.

Who was it that said the rule was ‘half your age + 7’, think it was from a movie or something?

It’s not too far of a gap to be an issue in general, but some places it might get legally twitchy. Here they have what they refer to as a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ law that if I recall has a sliding window of a couple years around 18 that allows for people on either side to date within some number of years.

Ethically I wouldn’t think much on it. You could well have been a single grade apart in school depending on when each birthday falls in the year, that’s hardly worth noting.

That worked so well before after he claimed it wasn’t the court’s business to handle such things.

The original face eater.

So here we have an example of a common .ml and others of the tankie triad technique. Come in, make a big fuss about something and the evils of capital society, then bail when they get pushback, in this case even deleting the account.

Sure they did, who do you think keeps baking all them files into the cakes?

Casting I would say is kind of a separate deal. You can still find somewhat ornate cast things today, although more often it’s injection molded plastic coated in paint.

You could do this kind of thing with wood in a CNC machine, but more often it’s just some straight cut or moulded particle board stuff with no life in it.

There are far too few in positions of power who have the courage to tell Trump to stuff it when needed. This guy is one of those few it seems and now the crybaby turns his tantrum on him.

Given the trash that passes for furniture these days I expect that in 50 years or so people will still be hunting for stuff from the early 1900s or earlier to put into their place.

Decorative flourish for the most part. A lot of that old stuff was crafted by hand rather than a machine so it tends not to be designed for mass production.

You can download a torrent of the whole thing, they don’t need to give it to anyone.

If anyone could it’s the 5th(?) largest economy on the planet and the spot that make up most of our west coast.

Kind of makes me wonder, since by and large the ‘blue’ states pay into the fed more than they get and ‘red’ states are net leeches, how viable would it be for there to be a concerted “fuck off we we just won’t play with you any more” to economically starve the rest of the states.

That’s actually surprising, I would think that Musk & Donnie would have been all over the idea of having front row seat visibility into new CVE. Info like that could be worth a few bucks.

MPR was talking about this claiming anti-sem justification.

FFS, has he looked at who his supporters are? A solid chunk of them would ship every non-white person out of here.

Plus, what about all the ‘blue maga’ folks that spent months clamoring how bad Biden/Harris would have been for the Palestinians and their supporters?

Not possible, most Americans are limited to sweatpants at this point.

They must have been state charges? Legitimately I forget, but if not there’s no way Trump wouldn’t pardon her, particularly for some special favors…

We still have an EPA?
