Not sure why anyone would object against this when you look at some of the crimes these illegals had commited before being released back into our country. Stuff like burglary, aggravated assault, sexual crimes against minors

About time

The morning dew gives way to an army of lifted trucks blaring Lee Greenwood. The glean of Oakley shades flickering under a sea of red MAGA caps.

They will fucking OWN this potato field. “Somebody crank up that Toby Keith song and bring me a few more bottles of Perrier, it’s getting warm”

“Holy Christ, it’s fucking HOT out here!”

“What time is the Rudy’s BBQ truck due to arrive?” “It’s only 10 am?!”

After 5 hours, Mr MAGA potato harvester learns that he actually made pretty good progress. Now it’s time to choke down the lunch you really should have thought to bring on the dusty 3 mile trip to the next field.

“Hey guys, only 5 more hours!!!!”

this is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

She said it pretty much shut down the DOD on Friday morning as everyone was asking up and down the chain of command if this was real. Do we have to reply? Is it safe to reply? How did they email 3,000,000 of us simultaneously and get all of these emails into one list?

So pretty much 3,000,000 federal employees in one somewhat important federal department went into a state of panic and shut shit down for over an hour trying to figure out WTF? Remind me, what does DOGE stand for?

Then she wanted to know, how did you hear about this?

Well, millions of people outside of your media bubble heard about it Friday. It was in my newsfeed.

Yes, Colonel Illiniwok voted for trumpty plumpty because he thought, "he would be better for the economy." My sister disagreed. Both of them work remotely for the DOD. It's about time for them to start showing up at the office or retire early.

Sieg Heil!

Some steelmakers in Canada and Mexico are telling customers that they are refusing new orders to the U.S. on concerns that President Donald Trump soon will reimpose duties.

Canada’s Stelco has been telling U.S.-based consumers it is pausing sales quotes, according to a person familiar with the matter. Mexico-based steel suppliers also stopped taking orders for material this week as they await potential action from Trump, according to Flack Global Metals, a large buyer.

Trump this week signaled plans to impose previously threatened tariffs of as much as 25% on Mexico and Canada by Feb. 1. While the two countries are exempt from a sweeping 25% steel tariff the U.S. imposed during the first Trump administration, there’s increasing concern in the industry that the metal won’t receive a carve out.

“There’s a lot of trepidation and changing commercial policy by the Mexican steelmakers with regards to their approach to this market,” Jeremy Flack, chief executive officer of Arizona-based steel distributor Flack Global Metals, said in an interview. “They’re off balance because of this. They’ve gone from concerned to unconcerned to concerned again.”

Canada is the top foreign import source of steel into the U.S. and Mexico is the third largest, according to U.S. Commerce Department data. The U.S. consumed about 91 million tons of steel in 2023, with imports accounting for about 27% of that total demand, according to research by Morgan Stanley.

Stelco parent Cleveland-Cliffs Inc., based in the U.S., didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

Imagine expecting people to show up at work and you the jobs they are bringing paid to do.

The nerve!

I say this knowing multiple people who work remotely and regularly use work hours to shop, cook, clean, run errands, etc., all of whom insist that they “still get everything done,” but who balk at the notion that they can “get everything done” and be available to help with other things if their focus is on work at work.
