I was joking, but the fact that it's questionably real that they are VHS tapes instead of digitally saved recordings is telling about or prison systems. Note, this is also a high end prison for the rich, haha

They physically remove the VHS tapes in order, and place another tape back in and hit the record button manually. Then write the dates on the box with a sharpie and put them in the rack to save for backups. The tapes only hold 8 hours so they have to swap them 3 times a day, which ends up losing about a minute a piece.

Or just ask how incriminating he thinks the evidence of his acts with a convicted human trafficking and pedophile are. That way he has to start by lying and saying he's not in them, which would hurt him more if they come out, because he is. Or make him admit that he is in them by saying "I don't think they could be bad, because...."

Nah, if impeached (and found guilty by the Senate) Vance becomes president and picks his VP himself. Speaker of the house stays where they are

Yarp, and when you are cutting jalapenos and accidentally touch your eyes it doubles as an emergency eye wash. /s

I do love my bidet though

I mean I hope/wish it was a joke

“Matt Gaetz would be the best,” former Trump strategist Steve Bannon said on stage with conservative activist Charlie Kirk at this weekend’s Turning Point USA summit.

“Matt Gaetz would be a no brainer, right?” Kirk added to rapturous applause by the crowd.

Remember when Pete Hegseth paused arms to Ukraine and didn't even bother telling Trump (supposedly)? That was 2 weeks ago. If what shipments going in and out of this country aren't controlled by Trump, what's to say when Trump says something will go out it will

Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon are pitching a special prosecutor to look into the Epstein stuff.. who do they support to do it? Matt Gaetz. You know, the guy who also traffics underage women for sex. Why would you want something like that one would ask? Child rapists investigating child rapists? Simple... If Gaetz doesn't manipulate the investigation in a manner that goes the way Trump wants it too, the DOJ can charge and convict him of trafficking and having sex with an underage girl for money, because they never formally charged him previously.... It's not much of a reach to say it was just blackmail they were putting aside to ensure his full cooperation after swearing him in Attorney General. (Thankfully he wasn't)

It never said to ignore posture did it? It's a clip that's about a minute long telling people to keep moving and stay flexible.

Stand dead still at a desk for 8 hours, bad. Sit at a desk for 8 hours, bad.

All it is doing is encouraging people to not get complacent with being still.

I don't like short video format for stuff like this, but so long as people aren't idiots and go jump off a roof after sitting at a desk for 10 years it's a decent message. Climbing, cartwheels, push ups seem to be the quick examples he gives that are better.

Aka, take yoga or some shit, "stay flexi" he says. The title is probably misleading for ragebait

The goal was to shift the majority of all costs to the States and reduce flood insurance coming from the federal government. Remove near all grants to get rid of disaster readiness. How do we know this, it was ALL written in Project 2025.

"These opportunities include privatizing TSA screening and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program, reforming FEMA emergency spending to shift the majority of preparedness and response costs to states and localities instead of the federal government, eliminating most of DHS’s grant pro- grams, and removing all unions in the department for national security purposes."

"Replacement of the Entire Homeland Security Advisory Committee. The Secretary should plan to quickly remove all current members of the Homeland Security Advisory Committee and replace them as quickly as is feasible."

"Under the Stafford Act, FEMA has the authority to adjust the per capita indi- cator for damages, which creates a threshold under which states and localities are not eligible for public assistance. FEMA should raise the threshold because the per capita indicator has not kept pace with inflation, and this over time has effectively lowered the threshold for public assistance and caused FEMA’s resources to be stretched perilously thin. Alternatively, applying a deductible could accomplish a similar outcome while also incentivizing states to take a more proactive role in their own preparedness and response capabilities. In addition, Congress should change the cost-share arrangement so that the federal government covers 25 per- cent of the costs for small disasters with the cost share reaching a maximum of 75 percent for truly catastrophic disasters."

"FEMA is also responsible for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), nearly all of which is issued by the federal government. Washington provides insurance at prices lower than the actuarially fair rate, thereby subsidizing flood insurance. Then, when flood costs exceed NFIP’s revenue, FEMA seeks taxpay- er-funded bailouts. Current NFIP debt is $20.5 billion, and in 2017, Congress canceled $16 billion in debt when FEMA reached its borrowing authority limit. These subsidies and bailouts only encourage more development in flood zones, increasing the potential losses to both NFIP and the taxpayer. The NFIP should be wound down and replaced with private insurance starting with the least risky areas currently identified by the program."

^^^Note, in November 2017 this $16 billion in debt was bailed out with a Republican Majority in the Senate, the House, and President was Donald Trump. Bill: H.R. 2874

So they used their own acts as the reason why the government was "misusing" funds for federal relief to try to highly shift all recovery efforts to the states.

What does this mean effectively?

The plans for the current administration not only blame Texas's flooding recovery misfortunes on Texas's misuse of federal funds that the Republicans "should not have incentivized them to do.". Then when disaster struck they didn't answer 2/3rds of the calls, and spent 3 days waiting to deploy relief because their new policy on $100,000+ efforts must all be signed off on prior by DHS (Kristi Noem), yet she effectively didn't pick up the phone when the emergency occured, nor used any tools/resources to act prior to the event to ensure resources would be available in a scenario of such likeness.

Gotta hope that appeal actually holds up. Otherwise I can only imagine if he's allowed to shut down the department of education, how long the EPA will last after

Check out this balcony, the place looks so damn cute and has a killer view. https://www.realtor.com/international/cr/house-for-rent-in-grecia-just-5-minutes-from-the-center-furnished-grecia-alajuela-province-310100707801/

Walk out your bedroom door to this for cheaper than I pay now, and when I looked at jobs I started seeing multiple remote jobs to support U.S. companies that were from pay rates equivalent to here haha

Well the issue is they gave the actual trophy to Trump in March. It has been sitting in the Whitehouse since. Even if Trump lied about asking when they were coming to pick it up, the Whitehouse isn't someplace you just leave an object for a little while. First I imagine the secret service would want to review the device wasn't bugged being in the oval office... Second you can't just drop by to pick something up from there easily. Scheduling all that shit would be more annoyance than just making 2 up front probably.

Note: Trump did remove historical artifacts sent by Israel from the White House and move them to Mar-A-Lago, so I don't believe that this will end up in the National Archives like the article stated, it will end up as his property.

Oh jeez. It's the whole Brandon thing all over again, can't people just use real words *shakes cane at children on my lawn

True, I'm just used to hearing either Cray-on or Cran (like cranberries)

Also I know I struggle with colors sometimes... But I don't see green or yellow on that map, just red and blue... Is that just me haha

I just keep throwing random places out there to my partner to see what she says. Told her I found this really cute place to stay in Costa Rica yesterday, haha

For real, anything sent from a company email is owned by the company. Not that a company usually has time to go through such shit but they can if they need/want to. It's usually very easy to do and can be done without the worker ever knowing.

What that be?

Most people usually aim them to cover corner to corner, then the wind blows from any direction and it goes further onto sidewalks. Then there are the ones (usually owned by the neighborhood or city in my experience) that water the sidewalks and roads and manage to only hit 15% of the grass.

Proceeds to jump on all the sprinkler heads like they are all goombas.
