Will there be a frantic re-hiring before or after some bad storm tracking results from this?
Going into the severe weather and hurricane season, this cannot be good.

The reply section for these types of tweets are gold.
It will be even funnier when people in this country get no warning about tornadoes and hurricanes!

Musk/Vance will get rid of Trump under the 25th Amendment the minute he refuses continue in his role as the good dog.
Do you realize how absurd you are? What is the point of this post? Serious assertion? Unsuccessful attempt at humor? Trolling? Attention seeking because your mommy didn't hug you? Totally bizarre.
a) semi-serious assertion b) unsuccessful attempt at humor c) trolling
Answer: all of the above
d) attention seeking because your mommy didn't hug you
Proof positive that it's getting to you, right? James Carville was on-target: The Dems should play possum for awhile. The GOP isn't too far from imploding.
The kicker only has 16 accusers; Trump has at least 25, but the kicker is young and has time to pad those stats.
Yup. That would be JUSTIN TUCKER, the kicker for the Baltimore Ravens.
The Baltimore Banner reported that 16 massage therapists at eight spas have claimed Tucker engaged in inappropriate sexual behavior during spa sessions from 2012-16.

Except for the kicker that was pictured in Trump's office is actually Harrison Butker.
Do you despise Trump because you and he possess the same narcissistic qualities? Just like you won't admit that you were repeatedly wrong about the identity of the kicker in Trump's office, Trump won't admit to calling Zelensky a dictator. You guys also both brag about how rich you are and don't hesitate to put people down. Is this why you hate him so much? Is it self loathing?
The deep state was an resistance movement against the first Trump administration. HRC, BIden, Harris others have openly discussed Resisting and continuing to fight. They and political opponents used lawfare to prevent Trump from being President in 2025. The agencies of government have been manipulated to advance the political interests of a party (or perhaps both but we don't know it yet). It is entirely foreseeable and appropriate that all of that is dealt with. That is not (just) retribution, it is cleansing our government of inappropriate people for their positions.
On top of that the government is a bloated heap of waste. It is appropriate for the Executive to try to right size and refocus government spending (Clinton and Obama tried the same thing).
It is a legitimate problem that a party can cherry pick to find a political hack US District Judge and that judge can halt the Executive branch. This cuts both ways. The only talk of impeachment I've seen is for judges who have an obvious political bias/conflict of interest and who have issued the most egregious injunctions. Even so, we know those judges won't be removed by not a single D Senator will vote for it.
I personally find the talk of Trump staying in office beyond this term patently absurd. Lump it right in there with Fascist and Existential Threat To Democracy. It is just lazy TDS fearmongering that falls on deaf ears outside a certain segment of the D party. There is no way this is happening.
The question I have is do purportedly educated people actually believe this? Or are they just demagoguing? I don't know which is worse, but either way is bad.
Lawfare and activist judges (who are cherry picked) is bad. Both sides have done it. But the judicial resistance to Trump has been unprecedented. The recent TROs (including the one stayed by Justice Roberts last night) have been patently absurd and unlawful.
Biden's orders were challenged, but there is no comparable example of multiple judges issuing TROs within days (sometimes hours) of executive actions. One judge received a TRO request at 11:00 pm. and issued a TRO the following morning - before the Government even had a chance to respond.
The supreme court is about to come down hard on this. And that was part of Trump's plan.
Hey, if Trump says he'd like to stay in office past his constitutional limit, why shouldn't we believe he will act upon it? Words have meaning, even for Trump.
It's simple! We're not supposed to believe him when it's an obviously bad thing. Otherwise you should believe him entirely! Got it?
This is conspiracy theory nonsense.
First of all, Trump is trolling all the liberals by saying this type of thing. He knows they (and you) will overreact - in fact he's counting on it. It reminds me of Lucy and the football. You know what is going to happen, but Charlie Brown (the liberals) fall for it every time. It is funny (and odd) that you are so easily manipulated, both by Trump and the dems who lead the overreaction.
Beyond that, if Trump did try to run, he would be shut down immediately, He's not eligible to be on a state ballot and most (if not all) states would not list him. It is not different than a US born citizen or person under 35 attempting to run - they can't. And even if he was listed on ballots and somehow won the election (which is a fantasy), then he would not be inaugurated. Full stop.
You basically just did the thing I described above. You said that Trump doesn't really mean it when he says he wants a third term. In other words, don't believe him when he says the obviously bad thing. Just trolling!
Then you argue that the laws would not allow it. I actually agree with that, he would almost certainly be blocked. But that doesn't mean he doesn't want to try. I believe him when he says that.
First of all, its a given that Trump says a lot of crazy and often false/wildly embellished things. Often he's just posturing/negotiating or trolling. Sometimes his narcissism compels him to say stupid things.
The question is how do rationale people, in good faith, sort through these things? The dems strategy has been to react - and most often overreact - to every idiotic thing he says. How did that work out? Chicken little syndrome.
In terms of the third term, it really doesn't matter what Trump says or intends. It will not happen for the reasons stated - which you apparently agree with. So why get spun up about this? He's playing you like a fiddle and you seem to be enjoying it, which is very odd.
You and other liberals are Charlie Brown (or Don Quixote, if you prefer). Meanwhile, the constant overreactions result in a loss of credibility - if everything is terrible or outrageous, then nothing really is. You're being tuned out by swing voters, particularly because of the absurd fascism/Nazi/dictator claims which people generally reject.
Trump is picking issues where he has strong voter approval (border, DOGE, trans sports) and the dems can't help themselves to oppose him for no good reason.

Not sure who you are arguing with here. I'm not spun up about Trump's statements. I'm criticizing the line of argument that says "you shouldn't believe him, unless he's saying a thing I like." Either you believe he means what he says or you don't.
I believe he generally means it. Sure, some of what he says will be impossible for various reasons. But he probably still means it when he says he wants something.

We're arguing about the bolded statement which I believe is a false choice - empirically sometimes he means what he says and sometimes he doesn't. A thinking person tries to filter that, like you would do with any other politician. The Bushes/Obama/Clinton/Biden certainly said things that were not true or were aspirational.
And regardless of whether Trump "means it", the really important question is whether there is any chance what Trump says/claims can actually happen. If it is essentially impossible (i.e., a third term), there is no reason to (over)react to it.

This administration is a clown show with Col. Bone spur and his foot stool Vance acting like idiots. I have never seen such a disaster as the one that just occurred. Since when does American back a country that has kidnapped thousands of children and committed untold war atrocities. This is shameful and embarrassing, and will be remembered by every so called ally that we have or had and we will only have ourselves to blame.
It was a shameful display by an American President and will only embolden Russia and China. One has to wonder in a world full of threats will our "allies" work with us given our behavior towards Ukraine and Europe? I can see Europe turning toward China who will fill the vacuum created by the United States. Isolationism has never worked out for the World or the United States and neither has cowardice.
Taiwan will not be defended. This has been clear for years despite the vague promises. It would be a military disaster. The only question is when and how it returns to the mainland
Zelensky has lost the war and doesn't like it, and is understandably upset. He decided to let it come out in public in front of the media, acting like an asshat. He picked the wrong administration to take the wrong tone with.

Spot on. And remember, Trump was the guy that called Putin's invasion of Ukraine brilliant 3 years ago.
Adam Kinzinger was preemptively pardoned by Joe Biden in his last day of office.
And your guy pardoned people that assaulted and injured 140 police officers on J6. So much for the "Law & Order" party.
Hypocrite much???
But we know what crimes they were charged with and they've all spent time in prison, with many of them serving sentences that aren't proportionate to what they've actually committed.
The question you should ask yourself is, what did Adam Kinzinger do that he needed to be pardoned?
Zelensky has lost the war and doesn't like it, and is understandably upset. He decided to let it come out in public in front of the media, acting like an asshat. He picked the wrong administration to take the wrong tone with.
The only clowns that I saw were Trump and particularly Vance. Zelensky is measured and methodical in his speech. Vance was an attack "dog" and Trump a bully shouting him down.
Vance is talking about Trump trying to be DIPLOMATIC. But can't seem to understand that Zelensky already tried that with Putin in 2019 and it was a failure.
Instead, Vance acts like an attack "dog" and calls Zelensky disrespectful for giving everyone an "overview" of how Putin can't be trusted. And then the Orange Buffoon starting telling Zelensky that it's a "card" game and he's not holding the cards.
Not once is there an admission that Ukraine and Zelensky has EXPOSED Russia and its weak military.
Not a single word about Putin and how he can't be TRUSTED honoring a deal or invading other countries.
Just think about that for a moment.
All I saw was a bunch of GRANDSTANDING by Trump. How many times did he mention Obama or Biden? I lost track.
It's clear that Trump doesn't care about WHO THE UNITED STATES is or its history and uniqueness in the world.
Clearly, there are 2 people in this Oval Office that don't believe in American exceptionalism. In fact, they have no clue what it means.
Ronald Reagan is rolling over in his grave today. So is my Dad.
