These experienced prosecutors, who want to uphold the CONSTITUTION, are fleeing the utter incompetency of this regime.

That 40-50% rate for 1st time marriages is what I was thinking of. When looking more into it I also learned that there are different methods of calculating the rate, which can make it a bit confusing.

You don't use Muse, you say? Do any of your friends or family?

Check those figures. Divorce rate is much higher than 2%

I give when I can, but on the TAP donation page, there is no option for a one-time donation.

Good consumer! The store expects to see you back at least once before 10/31 😅 I've always thought that half the Halloween candy in stores is actually consumed by the people who bought it and not trick or treaters.

And somehow, this kid was totally aware of Jesus's testosterone level. Maybe he can get an audience with Low T Pete and give him some pointers.

The piece begins, "If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by menu options at a restaurant, cereal varieties at the grocery store or potential partners while scrolling through dating apps..." The "overwhelmed by potential partners while scrolling through dating apps" part has me ROFL. Maybe it's just me.

And when you have someone like Musk who can, at the flip of a switch, cut off internet access to millions, you have an even larger problem.

For a long time, I've been getting along just fine without any of these outlets. Perhaps others should consider abandoning them too.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

They'll arrange for him to teach a course(s) that a lot of students will need in order to meet their degree requirements.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

And this won't be the end of it. There will be all kinds of opportunities for big shots in this regime, from university positions to book deals to "analysts" on television news programs. They'll all be rewarded for their participation.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Will be interesting to see what kind of reception he gets in blood red Alabama.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Indeed, what if he means what he says? What do you think might happen if this maniac decides to use nukes on Iran?

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Hell, he's gotten rid of a large chunk of our Foreign Service personnel, which means a big hit to our "soft power" around the world. Then, he farmed out State duties to Mohammed bin Salman's boy toy and real estate friend.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The chattering classes fully expect him to run in '28

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

As soon as Trump is on the way out, Little Marco will change once again. Sooner, in fact, if he intends to run in '28. And that will be interesting to watch, cos if he promises to continue this regime's policies, he'll be ASKING for defeat. But if he promises lots of changes, Trump will sack him.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I think, with this regime, if they were cooking the numbers they would be revising them *up* and not down. Dear Leader wants everyone to know that everything is great and that it's HIS economy and we should all profusely thank him for it. Which is why downward revisions give me faith in BLS numbrs

Excitedly awaiting same here in FL

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

First, I think, these are govt employees. There should be a health & safety office that evaluates work stations to make sure they are ergonomically satisfactory. Then, I think, this regime has probably closed H&S offices at every agency so these ID checkers will have no recourse.

Wonder if he made these three get some labs first.

If you are a renter, and this initiative passes, you are surely going to see an increase in your rent.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

It will def change, but not to "the way it was." Low-T Pete will have gotten rid of so much institutional knowledge and experience by the time he's gone that the DOD will be in a precarious position for a good while.

000

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Low-T Pete knows this full well, which is why he is moving with great haste to remake the DOD in his image. And it will be left much, much weaker and require significant rebuilding.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

What's worrying is that their bosses probably DID give them appropriate instructions in advance. Instructions that they were to give a standing O no matter what this clown said.

The tech bros are today's robber barons:

Also, I don't believe any entity that claims to not collect data, not keep data, or whatever promise. Too many of them have already been shown to have lied.

Agree that it isn't just Flock. In fact, some of these places were said to have canceled Flock agreements only to enter into another agreement with a different company.

130

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

There have been stories about various localities around the country canceling their Flock contracts & removing cameras. I suspect that this requirement will lead to more of that, from places that don't trust the fed govt in the first place. It will be the last straw for some of them.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I want to read an account that quotes just one person in the audience, who remains anonymous of course, saying that they were all *ordered* to give that standing ovation at the end. Because if it was spontaneous, we are in bigger trouble than I imagined.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Low-T Pete gonna put on his resume that he wrote a field manual all by himself.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Wonder how many of them read a word of that "field manual."

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I was thinking the same thing the whole time I was watching that silly line of questioning!

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

I think there is a non-zero chance that there will be major calamity in November. Worry more about what MAGA red state governments will do if results don't go their way. There are many things outside of D.C. that can cause confusion & disarray on voting day.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

He's right up there with Low-T Pete.

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

That statement right there is yet another ready-made political ad for dems to use starting yesterday.

What I want to know is, what do the Irish think?

Markus Alexander @markus1001.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Some of the firms who rolled over for Trump agreed to do a ton of pro bono work. You can bet these cases fall into that category.

Worst Speaker ever. Running away.

Target tryna get its numbers up but there's still a boycott going on.
