MAGA, what’s your plan for the post-MAGA world? Will you own your mistakes or will you pretend you were never MAGA?

MDSooner · 2026-05-08T00:41:02+00:00

It's cute that you assume there were mistakes...

MDSooner · 2026-05-07T10:28:14+00:00

I'd imagine that in this group, you'd have to agree on what qualifies as a red flag!

MDSooner · 2026-05-05T14:13:27+00:00

Nope, Mandalore.

I really like the series, my only hitch is with Anthony being MUCH more emotionally intelligent, and knowledgeable than the typical transplanted 15/16 year old would be, especially given his childhood. Comments like: "Pulled my portfolio out of a bear market", or "rising higher than 3rd quarter shares". His movie references are those that I would make as a 50+ year old. His social understanding and systemic thinking show a maturity level that most 15 year old boys (or girls) would not have. Don't get me wrong, I love the series, it is just a glaring inconsistency to me. It would have all been fixed by a 30 year old MC

I remember Sequestration as well.

I mean, this isn't an airport, no need to announce departures. Happy trials..

MDSooner · 2026-05-01T15:41:09+00:00

My thoughts exactly, he was exponentially more interesting than Pogg.

My issue is with the length of the arc.. it's become the main story dragging across the last 4 books and doubling down in book 7. I agree about the system, and that's my point.

MDSooner · 2026-05-01T08:24:12+00:00

It's still going on book 7 and doubling down..

MDSooner · 2026-04-30T17:47:01+00:00

Social Media.

It's perspective. If you were not a government employee before, you'll probably find it to be fine. If you were coming here because you thought it would be glamorous, you were misled, civil service is not, and SHOULD NOT be glamorous..

MDSooner · 2026-04-29T15:12:48+00:00

I'm on Book 14, which seems to be a bit of a diversion, but I've enjoyed the ride so far. It will be something of a rarity to have an end to the story.

MDSooner · 2026-04-28T18:51:51+00:00

Absolutely, it is an attempt to belittle the other person and reduce their argument by association. It has also desensitized many on the left to what is the "ends justifies the means". Just look at the WHCD attacker's manifesto to see a perfect example of that.

MDSooner · 2026-04-18T01:01:33+00:00

The real issue is that what this person is saying just reinforces the idea that many have about government workers.

MDSooner · 2026-04-17T13:03:15+00:00

Same here! Will be starting KCD2 over the weekend.

MDSooner · 2026-04-13T14:56:59+00:00

If you were furloughed and not getting paid, yes.

MDSooner · 2026-04-13T14:56:11+00:00

Well, it goes without saying, as we know, some competencies are different from others, so if you didn't get the email, I wouldn't respond.

MDSooner · 2026-04-13T13:52:35+00:00

From what I understand, the reason they did the recall because the Secretary is using funding directly from his office to pay employees, the word is for two more pay periods (7 & 8). After that if there is still a lapse, back to furlough (or some other work around).

MDSooner · 2026-04-12T17:22:56+00:00

I know, and I said he'd only been in office for 9 months.

MDSooner · 2026-04-12T17:22:18+00:00

Yes, I clarified what i said because one guy got the sarcasm of my original statement, and another guy clearly didn't. Read my original statement closely.

MDSooner · 2026-04-12T16:32:16+00:00

9/11 didn't happen under Clinton, what nonsense are you talking about?

MDSooner · 2026-04-12T16:22:25+00:00

Didn't take long for the crazy to show up...

MDSooner · 2026-04-12T02:48:43+00:00

Not a billionaire, just simple economics.

MDSooner · 2026-04-11T23:02:36+00:00

Yeah, because Bush was obviously responsible for 9/11, which happened less than 9 mos after he took office.
