  1. Senate Dems are probably going to have to eat that shit-sandwhich that is the CR…if they go forward with a shutdown (my original preference) then they gift NaziTechBro a list of Federal employees he can try and fire immediately as "non-essential" –  

    Elon Musk Has Wanted the Government Shutdown

    Sources tell WIRED that Elon Musk has wanted a government shutdown in part because it would potentially make it easier to eliminate the jobs of hundreds of thousands of federal workers. 

    MONEY QUOTE – "Ahead of a shutdown, federal employees are effectively classified into essential or nonessential work, with nonessential employees furloughed and not allowed to work until the shutdown ends. According to federal agency contingency plans compiled by the nonpartisan Partnership for Public Service in 2023, when a federal shutdown was narrowly averted, the pool of workers who would be subject to being furloughed then numbered about 850,000, with about 410,000 of those being outside the Department of Defense."

    I've survived a few shutdowns (both on Active Duty and as a Fed) and for the agencies I worked for the classification between "essential" and "non-essential" was always for contingency operations to keep the lights on, not as a permanent operating standard. But that nuance is lost on the NaziTechBro, and he can point to that list of "non-essentials" as ripe for firing, because the Agency itself came up with the list (and not him and his teenie coder army.) 

    The best the Dems can do at this point is make the entire process as painful an drawn-out as possible, using every media opportunity and procedural vote to lay the groundwork for the 2026 "I TOLD YOU SO" Election campaign….if we have one.  

    1. Hicks' convictions  don't  seem to go beyond taking care of his OilyBoy friends. Hick is a rich guy…and thinks that way. I have been privy to his great double-cross of the environmental community and thusly, his betrayal of the people and wild critters of Colorado.

      My opinion of Senator Hickenlooper is based, primarily, on my personal experience with John Hickenlooper during his "Gov. Frackenlooper" days. 

      If you are looking for a champion of the people, look elsewhere.

    1. All things in Moderation. Including Moderation.

      Sign behind the bar at Little Annies circa 1989, back when Aspen

      was a ski town, and not a real estate whorehouse. (the place was actually

      top fun once. Hard to believe, I know)

    1. I can suggest something else to scare us all — Malcolm Nance, on Substack, saying

      URGENT WARNING: Trump is Planning to Invade Canada & Greenland

      However, the details of Trump’s phone conversations with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have given me, and finally, the New York Times, an unambiguous intelligence indicator that the decision has been made to annex Canada. This is my assessment of the situation.

      Bottom Line Up Front Assessment

      The political rhetoric in the first five weeks of the Trump regime is giving clear indications that the United States fully intends to invade and seize Canada and Greenland at President Trump’s command. The possible timeline is 6-18 months of political destabilization to weaken the Canadian economy, split political parties, and carry out secret destabilization efforts, including identifying and making contact with Canadians who would betray their country.
