Procurement is going to be a LOT more of a hassle with the tariffs. This will get worse, and I am not sure it will then get better

Still wondering how the F the markets are just merrily skipping along and doing so well knowing it is all so fragile. I have yet to find anyone in our small town that is ready to buy a big ticket item right now, and they all complain about groceries/ daily necessities.. Coffee doubled in 12 months

oddly enough, Argentina took over US soybean sales. US farmers will get a bailout, but will never get that market share ever again.

Having been spoon fed a steady diet of fox, newsmax and OAN, yeah they refuse to see. they ignored the tiki torch march, patriot front, the PB..Because this is what they think they want. Until it affects them.

In this day and age, a couple low may be advisable to miss plates. Had a drill for belly button placement, and it was hard not to go for center mass. And I am going to say, 12 gauge holes in paper, are therapeutic

Trust me. The current economy, has yet to feel the damage the current admin has wrecked. people are scared about WIC not having money. Literal lines of military folks at food pantries. This will get worse. And not having cake.. has had historical implications.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ETwU...

I know you are being serious, but hella hats off to that inflatable frog outfit. minimizes pepper spray, and the pepper balls, it is absolutely silly and you know it just pisses off the feds. Have a unicorn inflatable on the way and will try to figure out filtering for the intake. :D

satirical and all, but in all reality.. this milquetoast response from the dems. stuns me. Not one talking about Argentina getting $20B (and selling soybeans to china that formerly was from the US) I hate saying.. Its the economy stupid, but FML it is what they should be yelling about.

The man decided tariffs would be equal to trade imbalance. He is literally saber rattling to get us out of article 5 actions if SHTF. Yet they are 100% willing to still sell munitions/ military tech to those countries, all while smearing them. I do not like this end game scenario..

As someone that was formerly a military "speed bump" if invasion happened late 80's, I concur. todays threat is drone/ low yield missiles. Ukraine is now the gold standard of what to expect. And the US snubbed the ability to learn. But hey no more beards, I guess thats important.

I know that reference. not sure if thats bad, or what.. but its funny to see..

Those of us to the left of them, even by an inch. are despised. The only bright side is that everything is going to crash. The economy is crap, and will get worse. Its gonna hurt everyone. maybe then.. but i dont think so..

A year ago, they were waving that Gadsden flag, and the come and take it phrase. yet are watching troops deployed to cities, and they are silent. Its not about common sense to them.. its about hurting others, even if they are also hurt just a little less in the process

My friend. Half of Americans (well about 46%) are carrying month to month credit card debt and just eating that 21% rate. Not shaming, just pointing out that necessity pushes common sense to the side. The political promises made to them, blind them to authoritarianism.

I have checked craigslist, googled the web, and even bought a national paper to search the classifieds. And I still cannot find anyone willing to pay me to be an antifascist. Truth be told, I am doing it for free anyways, but FR where are people getting news that they are paying?

I am not filming them for my safety, I am filming them so they can be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. They might be wearing masks, but every last one gets a W-2. when the wheel turns.. its time for court.

Goodness, It sure would be a shame for someone to show up asking about a Military retirement check if the govt shuts down. I might just go get some of the people at the Yountville Veterans Home. It would be a great day out for them..

Richard @lnrbry.bsky.social · 16d

Serious inroads could be made by just asking them to explain what a Fascist is. Or look it up using that grok fella. But then again.. they would never believe their lying eyes.

Bluesky message describing someone googling "Fascism" and findingout that the term is fitting her choice of politician to a t.
