It's wierd how they're both service oriented any my experience at the DMV differs from my experience at Chick-Fil-A.

"That is NOT the point of DOGE and never has been. People are not cheering DOGE firing people. People are cheering someone holding the govt accountable for OUR tax dollars."

An analogy if I may.  Did the NFL rule changes a few years back immediately stop vicious hits?  No it did not, in fact they still happen years later.  However the entire mindset of the players shifted and they're more cognizant of their actions.

But most on here want to argue and play politician vs. have simple collaborative conversations.

No.  Its clear buddy has a vendetta and hopefully someday a moderate moderator will evaluate the moderation and reduce buddy's role.

 1) The BOTS Act is an executive order designed to curb the secondary market on ticket sales (scalpers) and make it "more" fair for normal people to get tickets close(r) to face value without insane fees.

2a) Almost 99% NO.  There are a couple of circumstances where I'd entertain it similarly to other "wrongful" incarceration.

2b) Based on thr scenario you're describing, I'd be less ok like not at all.  I don't think that's what happening but I have very little interest in looking into it.

Seems like it should be as close to a non-partisan issue as we've seen, especially if you don't like "price gouging".

What says the forum?  Does the man get a little credit? Do you hate getting pounded on the secondary market?

Not serious despite saying he's serious.  I think it's master level trolling but we'll see.

I do prefer my corruption up front vs. say providing benefits enough to keep people impoverished then tell them the other side is going to take everything away to keep the vote.

"could"

Check in when it materializes.

Oh but as to your question, yours posts remain too long for my short attention span, so i didn't really get too far other than you disagree.

I know you don't favor line by line responses, do I chose to largely ignore.  There is a tendency to go around in circles with 12 points in 4 paragraphs.  Just my preference.

@wallstreetcappers

Ah, a civics lesson, cool.

Well Trump doesn't operate in a vacuum and since you were very busy moderating through his first term, your side wasn't all those qualities you look for.  They even tried to throw him in jail and kill him, so I can see how a guy could be a little spicy.

So to suggest that decorum is holding you back versus just despising him is disingenuous.  To suggest that my response was partisan, especially when I conceded some of your point, is the wallstreetcappers we know and love.

@wallstreetcappers

"I'd rather hear nothing and see a respectful professional classy effort that brought a result with zero drama and zero abuse...but that cannot happen with this dope in the chair."

I'll see your dope and raise you the following:

100 Senators 

535 Congressmen 

And a slew of partisan judges.

If there were the case there'd be no .

@wallstreetcappers

Exactly.  You're correct but as an independent, I don't care cause both sides have done it but he gets stuff done. 

Just trying to educate on how "my side" thinks as there is a lot of misinformation from "your side" on that which creates this perpetual gap.

I guess it's good thing Trump's not on the Ballot 

"Your side and especially Trump is the most insulting, derisive, dividing political group in US history."

This is the disconnect right here.  Majority of "modern" politicians from both party's are, and do, exactly that.  People are generally numb to it.

Trump just happens to also get stuff done, which is why people vote for him notwithstanding his "rhetoric".

Whataboutism proof = see Chuck Shumer of late...seems pretty insulting and derivise.  But 132 years in office and doesn't get much done.

@THEMUGG

Kind of strange to me.  They'll ramble some nonsense and if you attempt to talk sense they can't let it go and have to get the last word in with the same nonsense.

But hey reinforcing bad narratives served them well last November.

"Much more to come, as an investigation is looming"

No.  Nothing more is coming as evidenced by no removal from office after two impeachments and no jail time after 387 felonies.

But by all means if it helps, keep telling yourself that.

I'm more interested in how this is the biggest failure when no one other than the target died vs. say Benghazi or Afghanistan withdrawal?
