My extra petite #greatdane, The Fool, just wants to cuddle. Butch just can’t get close enough to satiate his need for said cuddles. He tries.

The problem when #bullying is voted in again and is seen as tough…

There was nothing new about what happened in the #OvalOffice today except that it was to an ally. The bullying and tough guy act is nothing new.

Has there ever been a #POTUS support Russia in such an…1/3

…perform its duties, that’d save money, yes?

So it’s as though we’ve spent decades reducing the number of public servants while increasing their workload, because the population has increased, and then we invest in privatization via contractors, which costs more money, and then we still…7/8

…contract extensions, work left half completed, and more money spent?

I also ask this as a veteran fully utilizing the VA’s Community Care, meaning if there isn’t an appointment at a VA facility within 29 days, I’m sent to a local provider. To me, hiring more VA providers is best…5/8

…contract to know that isn’t the case.

What do all of the public service employees do? The federal workforce is not the size it needs to be to efficiently perform its services. So we contract to private industries and pay more than we would if we just increased the public…3/8

If privatizing the VA, the rest of the federal government, and its related services is the goal…and we all know it’s been in campaigns and attempts at legislation since forever, then what was and is expected of the rapidly reducing federal workforce and the increased costs associated with…1/8

…they’d want to put it back in our pockets and invest in our collective lives. Right?………Right?

Seriously, this group exists. It's ridiculous...the concept...its existence...everything. 2/2

…using a % of the fake savings to pay down the real debt, then why is $4 trillion about to add to the deficit with the tax cuts? Math, y’all.

…then there wouldn’t be this adding to the #deficit mess. If we dont have $ to pay for tax cuts without gutting #veterans benefits, #medicare, #socialsecurity, and #medicaid, then how is anyone getting a check? Unless…are we adding that roughly $400 billion to the deficit, too? And if we are…4/5

…are adding numbers that don’t exist. So “saved” is actually “made up”, aka “A #Con.”

3. The #TaxCuts will add $4T to the deficit while cutting programs we all depend on. So what sense does it make to add to the deficit that much more by sending everyone money? If that money were truly savings…3/5

All y’all getting excited about the idea of that $5k check need to exhale.

1. The math isn’t even close to correct on what #DOGE has “saved” so there’s no way to calculate an amount anyone might get.
