President trumps face added to Mount Rushmore
Way to go Florida 👍
The other Presidents depicted have made major national contributions to the history of this country. What did Donnie Boy do? Get spanked by Stormy Daniels? If so, his ass on the mountain might be more appropriate.
Of course, "for ever" won't be that long. Trump is making sure of that.
And a question for cat and annanas, just what do you consider a contribution worthy of another President going up on the mountain? I frankly can't think of a damn thing the last 20 have done that is worthy if you really want to get technical. All the great things were done before 1900 that shaped this country.
And bill Clinton invented pussy flavored cigars
Obama was our first gay and black president
Other then that I’m blank
When the current faces were picked it was done for the following reasons.
"George Washington (1732-1799) represents our nation as its founding father. Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) represents expansion, as a signer of the Louisiana Purchase and author of the Declaration of Independence. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) represents conservation and the industrial blossoming of the nation."
an think of at least three presidents that could be in that group after the 1930's
Franklin Delano Roosevelt got us out of the biggest depression this country ever experienced. He's responsible for Social Security and unemployment insurance. He came up with lend/lease to help Britain fight the Nazis before we got involved in WWII.
He pushed for Congress to pass the Fair Labor Standards Act, which established a 40-hour work week and overtime pay for those who worked more than 40 hours
----------------------
Then there's President Dwight D Eisenhower. He was the supreme allied commander in Europe during WWII. He pushed for the Interstate Highway System
President Dwight D. Eisenhower pushed for the polio vaccine and signed the Polio Vaccination Assistance Act of 1955.
He pushed and go NASA established.
------------------------
President John F Kennedy established the Pease Corps and got NASA to get us to the moon.
apples to apples.
quite honestly i am surprised obiden didn't blow the mountain up to make a few indians happy.
Only a president RFK Jr wouldn't have made it.
It's the big pharma companies and the FDA who actually did the work.
The only reason to go to the moon was America PR, against Russia.
There is no rivaling country interested in going to Mars right now,
so you have no reason to re-allocate scarce resources to do that,
other than enriching Elon.
Well look at the technology that was developed for the trip to the moon. The very things we are using to argue on here have their roots in that trip to the moon.
I have also told you that I want to spend money on things that add value.
If baggers are not worth a good wage, make people do jobs that do add value.
If burger-flippers don't add enough value, to be paid a good wage, then make your own burgers. Remember?
Sending some unmanned probes to Mars will advance science. It answers questions like; is/was there life on other planets. Going there in person is unnecessary and hundreds of times more expensive. It's useless.
(The Mars Exploration Rover (MER) mission cost $1.08 billion.)
Going to Mars would cost between $100 billion to $500 billion per mission.
It would do nothing for the goal of making Mars our backup planet.
Going to Mars is only useful for showing that you can do it to the world.
And for Elon Musk, it's just a vanity project.
Your idea of advancing technology, is like organizing the Olympics in your country, for the goal of improving infrastructure.
It's much cheaper and produces much better jobs, to completely transfer to renewable energy. You would also be energy independent indefinitely and
cut pollution to almost zero.
You tell me that you don't have any money for education and healthcare,
but you do want to spend this money, which doesn't do anything to help you.
(or al least very very little)
Trump is literally telling you; let's cut every dollar that is important for
normal Americans and lets spend all that money on a billionaire's toys.
Elon Musk told Trump to cut childhood cancer research for that!
Even if you don't care about kids dying, that's still a "lucrative investment".
And the funny thing is that you always accuse Democrats of wasting money!

You just don't think things through, do you? You think illegals sit at home and get a fat check every month? THEY HAVE TO WORK and they have to do so in crappy jobs.
Illegals can't collect at all. I don't believe illegals are entitled to all the benefits that legal citizens are entitled to, but, no matter how they arrived into our country, they are entitled to humanitarian efforts.
32,882
Through targeted funding and interventions that utilize evidence-based practices, homelessness among veterans dropped to the lowest number on record. There was a nearly 8% decrease – from 35,574 in 2023 to 32,882 in 2024 – in the number of veterans experiencing homelessness.Dec 27, 2024
Call that maga bullshit if you want to, but it is pathetic either way that there is a single homeless veteran much less 33,000
G@mbling is a bad word? Who knew?
Listen it’s simple if they want to be here that bad they will do it legally
The ones that sneak in are just looking for a free ride they are mainly all the criminals from other countries looking for a place to hide
What about the folks living in apartments that the gangs took over with guns? Now they can live a little more peaceful.
Cat do you think it is ok for a gang of illegals to come in and take over apartment complexes here in the US?

stuff biden couldn't or WOULDN"T do.
Did you not see the news? 500 billion dollar investments in AI tech to be made here in the USA instead of bangledesh or china or nigeria. the money could have been invested anywhere in the world but due to a business friendly President in office now, the money,the jobs are coming HERE.
And about that two day thing. He managed to get everyone of our allies mad at us and they will not help us if we get into a war and the WHO who has helped so many in so many countries is out. A humanitarian group that helps everyone including us is now our enemy. What the crap?
We wouldn't be anywhere near a war if we weren't using ukraine as fall guys and gunnie pigs for our weapons against another nuclear power.
The WHO is responsible for providing leadership on global health matters,
shaping the health research agenda, setting norms and standards, articulating evidence-based policy options, providing technical support to countries and monitoring and assessing health trends.
You have a point that we are using Ukraine as fall guys.
They are fighting the war that we don't want to fight.
We know that if we don't arm Ukraine, then we might be next.
Still, that doesn't mean that the Ukrainians are not willing to fight for their freedom. They have lived under Russian oppression before, and it was horrible.
According to Ukrainians it would be worse than dying.
However, because everyone is afraid, we don't give them enough weapons to actually win. Or some people have decided that keeping Russia occupied in the war with Ukraine is most damaging to Russia. It's horrible, but the alternatives are worse. Putin has smelled blood, and he won't stop until his citizens make him stop.
North Korea has sent at least 10,000 troops to Russia, to aid them in fighting Ukraine. The last news end December was: South Korea said that more than 1,000 North Korean troops have been killed or wounded, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky put the number at 3,000.
As of January 15, 2025, Russian combat losses amount to 812,670 troops, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to Zelensky, on 8 dec 2024, some 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since Russia's full-scale invasion. According to U.S. Officials, the Ukrainian numbers are closer to 70,000 killed and 100,000 to 120,000 wounded.
One explanation for why so many more Russians are dying is due to poor training, low quality draftees, and very poor leadership!
89% of the Ukrainian troops were trained last year by the British Army under Operation Interflex, to be better equipped to survive on the battlefield.
What reason do you have for thinking they are the same? I think it's lack of information or misinformation, because the differences are huge.
China now mostly has a capitalist free trade economy and the people are free to choose their future, live their lives, leave the country and make connections with people from all over the world. Even though most of western social media
is blocked, they do have WhatsApp, FaceTime, Skype and a few others.
The standards of living of average Chinese people has improved massively from 2002 until Covid. Covid hit them very hard, but they are now recovering. Only 13% of its population fall below the poverty line. The share of their population living in extreme poverty is close to 0%. 90% of Chinese people own their own home. < 2.5% of the population is undernourished or "food insecure". In the US, in 2023, food insecurity was statistically higher than 12.8%.
I just heard an American Trump voting teacher say that he supported free breakfasts and free lunches for kids, because some of his kids don't get to eat anything between the last lunch on Friday and the first breakfast on Monday.
That doesn't happen in China.
North Korea has arguably the worst economy in the world and it is
rightfully considered one of the most closed countries in the world.
60% of North Koreans lived below the poverty line in 2020, but the
global Covid price increases have hit them hard.
North Koreans are basically slaves of the Kim dictatorship.
They can do only as they are told and are completely shut off from the world.
It is very possible that North Korea is close to a complete collapse.

Operation drill baby drill will increase supply lowering demand bringing down the prices of fuel all in his first week i would say he hit the ground running
Drill baby, drill. Where and how long will it take? And will it offset the cutting off of oil from Canada and Mexico? They provide 8 out of every 10 barrels of oil imported in to the US. Mainly because our refineries are built to process the heavy petroleum that those two countries sell to us. Surely you know that we can't use homegrown petroleum (I'm not sure why).
So, at least we can call the Gulf the Gulf of America even though no one else in the world will do so. Makes me warm all over.
Elon musk jamming his big hard dick in your mouth while Donald trump fills your ass maybe he will grab your cunt
Wouldn’t that be exciting
what ever the folks leave on the table you put in your pocket. And I have saw in 1 situation, that folks leave quite a bit on the table because they know the waitress is dealing her husbands cancer expense's.
Drill for oil. It's not that our oil can be had cheaper,it is the fact the other countries loose a market if they don't sell us ours cheaper than we can get out our own.
OUr crude oil is cleaner,better quality,and sells for more per barrel that what we import.
Right now Russian oil is not being bought by Europe. Canada can sell it's oil to Europe instead of selling it to us.
🤣🤣🤣😈
Ok for dumbass MAGA and people from Ohio, but, for the rest of the world, it stays as it should.

I don't want a druggie to own an AK47. I do appreciate selling arms to a country that promises to fight side by side with us against a common enemy.
Yes, I understand the principle is above your pay grade but, think about it.
I was blacklisted for being a Trump supporter by someone along time ago.
By the way, I was in error when I said that I was blacklisted within a 4 hour window by 2 members, it was within a 2 hour period!
then what chance would such a person need to give him?
A chance to come back on everything he promised?
He has literally started immediately doing those things.
I know I'm not an American, but Trump doesn't just affect America.
He is literally threatening his NATO allies. Should we like that?
He has already broken the Paris agreement. That affects everyone.
He is planning to start another trade war. His last time caused global damage.
Biden or Harris would have never done that.
I think it is silly to blacklist over no agreeing.
Infrastructure spending? Trump will probably take credit for it.
High prices for groceries? Trump himself just said that he can't fix that.
Were the immigrants coming to eat you? They were just working their asses off.
Most thinks improved under Biden. The things that got worse were not his fault, except for one thing; Biden is to blame for is his support for Netanyahu's genocide. However, if it was Trump, it would have been worse.
It probably will get worse soon. As soon as Natanyahu thinks he has enough hostages back, he will declare that Hamas violated the ceasefire and continue the genocide. Trump is openly saying how Gaza is such a nice piece of land, that you could do so many nice things with....
Trump will get a chance from me. I'm not neutral, but I am objective.
If he does something that I think is positive, I will give him credit,
if he does something that I think is negative, I'll tell you why.
He didn't get of to a good start and I'm not surprised.

Listen to the whole thing. It's not political
The folks overseas are noticing that Trump is making good on signing papers to allow drilling for our own oil here in the states and they may loose their market unless they lower their prices to compete with our own supply. And as long as theirs is cheaper, yep buy theirs and save ours! Logical for national security to have a good supply of oil

Heres the thing, even IF the oil still cost as much as it does not,if we are using our own oil, we would not be making our enemys richer.

Good job ruining your life betting on Donald Trump.
I invest in stocks, but I stay far away from options.
They can multiply your win, but also your loss.
And you cannot wait out a bad decision with options.
Unless you know what you're doing, and you hedge your options,
it's basically g@mbling (funny how that is a censored word).
He gambled on Trump doing or delivering something.
If you do that, you pay the price.
Many people have learned that before him.
Many more people will learn that very soon.
I saw Trump voters on unemployment benefits and social security and leaning heavy
on Medicare, who said they had problems paying for groceries. They expected Trump
to make it better for them. I'm sorry, but I even fear for their lives. One of the first things Trump did was signing an executive order reversing the reduced prescription drug prices for Medicare and Medicaid. The $35 cap for insulin that Trump said he initiated,
is now reversed. Weird how he canceled something that he said he had initiated.
Do you believe that Trump/DOGE will not touch unemployment benefits, social security and Medicare? I would give it a 1% chance. Those voters are gonna get hurt.
I know already I am looking forward to warmer weather.

"Back in November of 2021, U.S. Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland, the first Native American to serve as a cabinet secretary, formally declared "squaw" to be a derogatory term. She ordered the Board on Geographic Names to implement procedures to remove the term from federal usage."

A polar vortex is moving down the east coast the northern half of Florida is to be 32 degrees and have an ice storm Monday or Tuesday Pennsylvania will be 7 degrees and we are getting a snow storm tomorrow
seriously I aint looking forward to this cold .
Temps inside igloos are better than I expected
How warm is it inside an igloo?
19 to 61 °F
On the outside, temperatures may be as low as −45 °C (−49 °F), but on the inside, the temperature may range from −7 to 16 °C (19 to 61 °F) when warmed by body heat alone.
LaBelle is considered to be southwest Florida and hopefully we will not be experiencing the same temperatures that will affect northern part of Florida. The temperatures over the past 2 weeks haven't been what I think are ideal however the temperature today was 79 and tomorrow it's projected to be 80. Apparently on Monday, that's when it's going to get "cold", with temperatures in the low and I mean low, 60's (61 to 64 degrees). I believe Wednesday or Thursday, the high will be 59! Oh my! 😵💫

Maybe there should be a third option; if the member makes a frivolous complaint they will never be able to use this feature again or at very least for one year. if people don't know how it works then they shouldn't be using it.
"I didn't know how it worked" is not a valid reason to delete a member that has been here for four years.

Taxes won't come down for you, just for billionaires. You will need to pay the difference. I'm sure regulations will be trimmed; billionaires want to make money by scamming you and saving money by putting people in danger, poisoning them, or starving them.
You will probably need to find something to make money; they are coming for you.

Trump has already brought a brighter future to Canada, Castro's baby boy couldn't handle another Trump term and is giving up his cushy job .
And even if you are right, Donnie Boy said he would bring inflation down on his first day in office. But, then again, he's going to be very busy using a Sharpie to change maps showing the Gulf of Mexico (named when the Mexican territory surrounded the whole gulf all the way to the southern tip of Florida) to the Gulf of America.
What a loser you "smart" high IQ voters elected to the highest office in the land.
Yeah, yeah. He will make everything right with a stroke of a pen. War in the Ukraine? Gone. Unemployment? Gone. Illegal immigration? Gone. Your life as you know it? Gone too.
But, regardless of what it's bringing the cost of living up, what is Donnie Boy's strategy to bring it down ON HIS FIRST DAY IN OFFICE?
We are all waiting with baited breath.
As for first day, hell, he has already ridded Canada of it's wimpy leader, has Putin wanting to meet for peace talks, has folks resigning before he comes in, but yea, first day, he can make enough changes for us to notice lower prices on EVERYTHING. reverse bidens lease ban for drilling with a exective order. The threat of oil independance ,will lead to lower prices from the middle east as they can't eat or drink oil and sand.
I am sure he may have done something good for canada,don't know what it is, but this is the impression most southern Americans have of him

One good thing Trump has done is unite Canada though.. it's in the air up here.. people are putting their political differences aside to put Canada first against a new enemy.. Trump
..and most southern Americans don't much outside of Southern America
As for the visit, shortly after announcements were made about changes to canada's immigration Policys and so forth according to many news sources. in other words, fix a few issues and there won't be any tarrifs. And hey, getting canadians to work together for any goal is a good thing! Canada first for Canadians, America first for Americans, this trend in thinking needs to continue,it would be better for all of us. ONCE we become strong and able to care for our own needs, THEN we can afford to look out for others in need.
Did you know that Canada is the largest supplier of energy to the U.S.? In 2021, Canada supplied the U.S. with 61% of its crude oil imports. And in 2020, Canada supplied the U.S. with 98% of its natural gas imports, 93% of its electricity imports, and 28% of its uranium purchases, helping power millions of homes, businesses and cities from coast to coast.
That's a lot of energy.. tariff or no tariff.. you'll still be buying it.. just might cost you 25% more ..Trump knows that.
Your country has used all it's cheap oil and the remaining sources are more expensive. Your oil will be more expensive each year, while renewable energy
is becoming cheaper each year.

Comapanys dont need to hire the 1's that fell for the victim mentality and never tried to make something of themselves,those are the 1's companys shouldn't hire.
Boeings quality issues stemmed from dei. they had to hire people because of color and etc, instead of people that knew what was going on.
YOU ARE CLEARLY DESCRIBING THE EXACT REASON FOR DEI!!!
There isn't a microgram of "victim mentality" in DEI.
The only ones who have a pathetic victim complex is white men
who needed to accept other people are qualified too or sometimes more.
Companies have nothing to gain from racism between their employees,
not white against black racism, but also not black favoritism.
Companies are doing what they need to, to make the most profit and nothing else.
That doesn't mean that companies are never doing pandering to wokesters.
If their customer base is woke as fuck, because they sell vegan cappuccino milk, they will advertise their DEI policy to make their customers like them. Then obviously their DEI policy would sound woke as fuck. They would have some pink-haired gender non-confirming barista in their brand store, but you can be sure 'they' can make that cappuccino taste good. If that company has now dropped their DEI policy, and their barista is replaced with a bigot, you can be sure that brand dies very quickly and some other takes over. That's just competition.
Facebook and Amazon are just blowing with the winds of change.
If they think DEI doesn't SELL anymore, they just tell everyone that they are dropping it. They will find another way to make their employees work well together. Their customer base is wide enough to pander to the new identity politics and stop pandering to the old identity politics. It's just sad that the customers still keep thinking they ever cared about anything else than profits.
As for us having to hush and take it all the time, we have took it for the last 4 years. So yea, I am making noise now that something will be changing. California is a good example of the path the entire country is headed down if it is not stopped. The government valued a FISH over the water supply to a entire state and now a major city is burning to the ground. over a fish. that is the liberal mind set we are fighting. to be quite is to surrender to them.
I, also, shy away from "political opinion platforms". Regardless, WE certainly appreciate any member's thoughts/contributions.

I'm really glad you are sober Dan. It takes a strong person with a strong will to figure that one out. I am 13 years sober now and my technique has been "not even one". It has been successful (minus one day in 2013) and maybe it will help you. I also found support on Facebook with my friends and family, keeping them abreast of my progress.
When someone has cancer and it ends up coming back no one tells them that they are not successful so if it comes back don't beat yourself up too much but try again, eventually you'll get the hang of it.
I see you have a lot of support here so I know you have a lot of support in your real life too. Good luck. 😘
Glad it is working to be away from that stuff for both of you.
