No, just morons like yourself.

Marjorie is just the first rat seen dancing on the mooring ropes. She is betting on the Epstein scandal to drag down not only Trump, but also everyone who served in his administration, thus clearing the field for 2028. She has the luxury of playing herself as just another Trump victim, while keeping her day job. This is something Vance and Rubio can't do.

Marjorie is still smarting from being left off the short list for every high level office and now has to watch Kristy Noem prance around like she's prom queen at MAGA High. Her sudden found compassion for the victims of sexual assault is just another strategic ploy.

I remember putting on rat guards.
These sucked:

You had to hold the two halves together while lashing them down with cotton cord. The metal fingers would be all bent out of shape. The wind would oftentimes be blowing it all around.

Now we have King Rat in charge and no rat guards so they all come scurrying up the lines.

‘Deeply demoralizing’: how Trump derailed coal country’s clean-energy revival

Biden earmarked billions for former coal communities in Appalachia – and his successor came and took it away

www.theguardian.com

For a moment, Jacob Hannah saw an unprecedented opportunity to make Appalachia great again.

In 2022, the Biden administration earmarked billions of dollars to help revitalize and strengthen former coal communities. The objective was to lay down building blocks for the region to transition from extractive industries like coal and timber to a hub for solar and other advanced energy technologies, with a view to long-term economic, climate and social resilience.

But on his first day in office, Donald Trump scrapped Biden’s clean energy and environmental programs, which he lambasted as woke, anti-American liberal hoaxes.

“We knew we were living in a historic moment, not just because of the amount of funding, but because the whole region mobilized to meet the moment,” said Hannah, 33. “It was a once-in-a-generation cash injection designed to prioritize extraction-based communities as part of the energy transition, which for the first time in almost a century made Appalachia very competitive. So to have it all taken away is deeply damaging and demoralizing.”

Trump pulled the plug on Biden’s funds for Appalachia, and the same MAGA towns he gutted are freaking out: "This is fucked up"

For a brief moment, community organizers in Appalachia thought they were witnessing a once-in-a-generation lifeline. Billions of dollars from the Biden

wtfdetective.blog

In Virginia’s Lee County — where 85% voted for Trump and nearly half rely on food stamps — an EPA grant that would have allowed the town of Pennington Gap to demolish a long-flooded, asbestos-ridden supermarket and build a flood-resilient green space was canceled. “People in Appalachia are used to being let down,” said Emma Kelly of Appalachian Voices. “This time we had the money. It was still taken away, and people feel betrayed.”

Dante, another Trump-heavy coal town in Russell County, lost funding for a feasibility study to convert its old rail depot into a solar-powered resilience hub — a critical project after repeated multi-day blackouts. The community also lost nearly $400,000 previously approved to replace its collapsed fire station. “These are not frivolous things: these are basic services,” said Lou Ann Wallace, a local Republican official. Even she struggled to reconcile the cuts with her support for Trump: “I don’t think the president knew. I’m one of his biggest supporters.”

Damn. I always figured those things simplysnapped on and off. Lashing? What a PITA!
I assumed that they were removed when lines were stowed?

Naval vessels necessarily carry far more manpower than is needed for peacetime ship handling - hell, a modern cargo ship can get by with a crew of fewer than a dozen - so it has never been a priority to reduce the effort and/or man-hours needed for minor shipboard tasks.

Quite the reverse - the officers need to invent pointless tasks to keep the crew occupied, because bored crews very quickly find something to do that is detrimental to discipline or to the fighting ability of the ship (or more often, to both).

It's not a part of a naval officer's job to make his subordinates' lives "fun".

My guess is trying to keep ahead of the rust is all that's needed to keep sailors occupied.

As Neil Young says: "Rust never sleeps."

The navy stopped the “make work” thing to keep sailors occupied years ago. Seems treating guys as a labor force to bust rust in the bilge while the ship is in the shipyard is bad for retention.

Colombian lawmaker from pro-Trump party pushes for son to be released by ICE - Latin America Reports

Vergara, a member of the pro-Donald Trump Conservative Party, announced last Friday that her 22-year-old son, Rafael Alonso Vergara, had been detained by U.S. immigration authorities for over two weeks.

latinamericareports.com

She said her son had legally entered the U.S. in 2022 and was “not undocumented.”

But Vergara’s denunciation was met with criticism and mockery by many sectors of the Colombian population, who highlighted her ties with Trumpism.

The Conservative Party celebrated Trump’s election in 2024 following a campaign in which he pledged mass deportations.
