I'm just left wondering why your first thought is murder every time you don't get your way.

Not only that, but it's been many years since I've been shocked by the fact that between the time your poisoned little brain conceived the murderous thoughts and the the time that you clicked the "SAVE RESPONSE" button here, there was no internal filter mechanism preventing you from posting your murder porn fantasies for the 100th time.

You are a little boy.

8 years ago you morons couldn't shut the fuck up about the Walls Closing In On Trump and the end of his presidency because of your dumb Russian hoax that's been thoroughly debunked, and even your media admits that now.

Now this is all you've got in 2025?

I'm sure that I told you dozens of times that the judicial system in America will malfunction if you have good enough defense lawyers to sabotage it for you. Vice President Aaron Burr murdered Alexander Hamilton. Did Burr go to jail? He did not. When Burr attempted to start a new country within the Louisiana Purchase, was Burr convicted of treason? He was not. When millions of Confederates murdered a million Americans, were they executed for what they did? No, they were pardoned. When thousands were lynched, who went to jail for murder? Nobody. When hundreds of thousands of Americans were placed in concentration camps during WWII, how many officials went to prison for this illegal behavior? Nobody. Did Vice President Spiro Agnew, Nixon's VP, go to jail for accepting bribes? Nope. If you've got enough money and connections, you can get away with murder in America. That's what makes America what it is, the Greatest Country in History! But not so great for losers like you, 6ix.

I completely forgot the Indians! Killed them by the millions. More recently there was "Killers of the Flower Moon" the movie and the book. Killed hundreds of Indians for their oil rights. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killers_of_the_Flower_Moon_(book)

From Chapter 26, Blood Cries Out, of Killers of the Flower Moon:
Quote:

Though the bureau estimated that there were twenty-four Osage murders, the real number was undoubtedly higher. The bureau closed its investigation after catching Hale and his henchmen. But at least some at the bureau knew that there were many more homicides that had been systematically covered up, evading their efforts of detection. An agent described, in a report, just one of the ways the killers did this: “In connection with the mysterious deaths of a large number of Indians, the perpetrators of the crime would get an Indian intoxicated, have a doctor examine him and pronounce him intoxicated, following which a morphine hypodermic would be injected into the Indian, and after the doctor’s departure the [killers] would inject an enormous amount of morphine under the armpit of the drunken Indian, which would result in his death. The doctor’s certificate would subsequently read ‘death from alcoholic poison.’ ”
Impressive, isn't it, 6ixStringJack.

That's no surprise to me. This isn't directed at you Second but it is one more dead Indian and it doesn't matter the time frame. We are the bad guys. I grew up hearing horror stories from both sides of the border. More from the States because of my grandmother. Resources found on reserve land the government stars chipping away at the reserves. A lot was already land not fit for farming or anything. In the late 1800s you had Indian agents who were responsible to see that food was distributed among maybe a couple or 3 reserves. Indian agents would take the good meat and leave the maggot ridden for the reserves and who know what was in the flour. Course the alcohol which flowed freely on both sides of the border.

Musk forced the head of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to resign because the FAA fined Musk $600,000 for breaking the rules before Trump was elected. A little more than one week after Trump was sworn in, there was a major plane crash in Washington DC caused by a helicopter pilot who felt he could fly wherever he pleased now that Trump is the President who doesn't follow rules. Too bad that Musk fired the head of the FAA but Musk doesn't follow rules, either, just like Trump.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. walked into his Senate confirmation hearing like a man stepping onto an ice rink wearing banana peels for shoes. He had one job: convince the world that he was not a bug-eyed conspiracy theorist who once hoarded a whale head and left a bear carcass in Central Park. Instead, he walked out as the leading cause of migraines among Democratic senators.

This was supposed to be his moment of redemption, his big I’m-not-actually-insane speech. Instead, it turned into a political demolition derby featuring protesters screaming that he was a liar and a killer, Bernie Sanders interrogating him about baby clothes, Elizabeth Warren asking if he planned to run HHS like a side hustle, and a surreal moment where Kennedy had to confirm that he probably said Lyme disease was a military bioweapon. By the end of the day, Capitol Police had forcibly removed more people from the chamber than a dive bar on St. Patrick’s Day.

Kennedy barely got through his opening statement before a woman exploded from the gallery like a jack-in-the-box filled with rage and science degrees.

“YOU LIE!” she screamed, holding up a sign that read VACCINES SAVE LIVES before being swiftly tackled and dragged out by Capitol Police.

Kennedy blinked rapidly, which is how you know he was hearing the voice of the worm that used to live in his brain whispering, Abort mission, Bobby. Abort mission.

A brief moment of peace settled over the room, and then it happened again.

“YOU’RE KILLING PEOPLE!” another protester howled, launching into a full-body rage spiral before security carried her out, legs kicking, like a screaming suitcase with opinions.

Kennedy took a deep breath and tried to regain his footing, but Senator Ron Wyden had been waiting for this moment like a prosecutor with a personal vendetta.

“Are you lying to us, Mr. Kennedy?” Wyden snapped, staring daggers at him.

Kennedy forced a nervous smile, but it came out looking like he’d just been told he had to fight a horse for a parking spot.

“That claim has been repeatedly debunked,” he said, attempting to sound reasonable despite an entire room full of people who were watching YouTube compilations of him saying the exact opposite.

Wyden wasn’t buying it.

“You signed a petition to restrict access to the COVID vaccine. Did you or did you not?”

Kennedy mumbled something about the petition being “misrepresented” as the air in the room thickened with sweat, bad decisions, and organic supplements.

Wyden was gearing up for a finishing blow when another protester detonated like a landmine.

“YOU’RE A FRAUD!” she shrieked as security dragged her away in a full-body lock.

Even the cops looked exhausted now.

Then came Bernie Sanders, a man who has not been in the mood for nonsense since 1972.

“Are you supportive of these baby onesies?” he demanded.

The room froze.

Kennedy’s brain crashed like a Windows 98 PC.

“Excuse me?”

Sanders lifted a printed-out photo of a baby bodysuit covered in anti-vaccine slogans.

“These are being sold by the Children’s Health Defense, the organization you founded.”

Kennedy looked like he had just accidentally eaten a ghost pepper and was trying to play it cool.

“I—I don’t have oversight over that organization anymore,” he mumbled.

Sanders cracked his knuckles like a man ready to fistfight a CEO and leaned in.

“Are you supportive of these onesies?”

Kennedy started sweating through his suit.

Laughter rippled through the room. A Republican senator actually covered his face.

Kennedy, now looking desperate for a fire alarm to pull, tried to pivot to his real passion: banning corn syrup.

Sanders wasn’t having it.

Then Elizabeth Warren took the mic, radiating pure prosecutorial energy.

“Will you commit to not taking money from pharmaceutical companies while serving as Secretary of Health?” she asked, in the tone of a woman who already knew the answer but was going to enjoy watching him squirm.

Kennedy grinned like a dog that just chewed up your furniture and is hoping you’ll laugh it o

Wow. Don't anybody take it personal when Second quotes you and replies with something completely unrelated.

In an exchange so rare it may as well have been the first time they've ever directly addressed one another, Second just did the exact same thing to Brenda that has been a source of annoyance for me for the last 8 years.

Autism sucks bro. I'm sorry.

Brenda, I am sorry for being annoying.

6ix, I'm not sorry that my existence annoys you. Where I live in Texas, the people who admire Trump, vote for Trump, and have Trump's loathsome personality traits are superabundant and contaminate what they touch.

Donald Trump owns the safe skies — until disaster strikes

Classic example of taking credit when flying high, but blaming others when things crash and burn. Amazing what a difference a disaster makes.

It’s a Scam! It’s a Purge! It’s a Scam *and* a Purge
Trump offers federal buyouts for resignations

By Paul Krugman / Jan 30, 2025 at 5:33 AM

https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/its-a-scam-its-a-purge-its-a-scam

Before Donald Trump was inaugurated, there was extensive discussion of his known plans to convert a number of civil service jobs into presidential appointments, politicizing the higher levels of the federal bureaucracy. Since the inauguration, however, it has become clear that almost everyone greatly understated the threat. We’re now seeing clear efforts to politicize everything, to force every federal employee to act, in effect, as a MAGA operative.

The latest and biggest move has come in the form of an email from the Office of Personnel Management, which appears to have effectively been taken over by associates of Elon Musk, effectively offering a buyout to federal employees who resign in the next few days. On paper, it isn’t exactly a buyout; those who accept the offer will be placed on administrative leave but supposedly continue to be paid until September. But being told that you can stop working while receiving eight months’ salary is just a buyout by another name.

There are five things you should know about this plan:

1. It’s illegal

2. It’s almost surely a scam: workers who take the offer probably won’t see the money they’ve been promised

3. To the extent that workers actually take up the offer, they’ll be the workers we can least afford to lose

4. The move will cost, not save money

5. What this really amounts to is a purge, replacing professional civil servants with political loyalists

Legality: Some initial reports described the Trump plan — or is it the Musk plan? — as if it were a simple buyout, which immediately raised the question, where would the money come from? Congress hasn’t voted funding for a mass worker buyout, and the president doesn’t have the right to spend money without Congressional authorization.

The “administrative leave” language was probably intended as a way to get around that little problem. But someone didn’t do their homework. The law appears to make it clear that federal employees can be placed on administrative leave for no more than 10 days in a calendar year.

Now, does the law still matter? Laws must be enforced by people, and maybe we’re already at a place where Trump can simply ignore Congress’s power of the purse, choosing not to spend money on things Congress has funded while spending money on things it hasn’t authorized. But I don’t think we’re quite there yet.

The big scam: If you accept Trump’s deal, resigning but expecting to receive 8 months’ salary, you’re a fool. Trump has a history of not paying what he owes; the Wall Street Journal reported that his business career “left a long trail of unpaid bills,” while a separate study from USA Today found hundreds of contractors alleging that Trump doesn’t pay his bills.

So if you accept the not-a-buyout offer believing in Trump’s promise to keep paying your salary — a promise that won’t even be legally binding, because the whole thing is illegal anyway — you should expect to be stiffed. That’s just who he is and how he operates.

Losing the best: Some federal employees may be naïve enough to accept President Musk’s not-a-buyout offer. Others — my guess is a significant number of high-level workers — may leave because they’ve concluded that politicization and disrespect has degraded their work environment to the point that it’s not worth staying.

So who will leave? The workers we as a nation can least afford to lose.

Many people probably imagine that the federal government offers cushy, well-paid jobs. And as a 2024 report from the Congressional Budget showed, federal workers without a college degree generally do earn more than their counterparts in the private sector — in part because many of them are unionized:

Your existence is an annoyance I inflict upon myself by coming here and has nothing at all to do with you. You are meaningless. You are nothing. If I stopped coming back today and never returned, I would never think about you again. I know that breaks your heart since you religiously read everything I post.

Good on you for apologizing to Brenda though.

That's the only evidence of human behavior anybody here has ever seen out of you in your history at fff.net.
