    Ummm. How the fuck is someone this insane getting hired in the first place? This is horrifying. 

    KTLA report, so in I'm assuing this is in California.  Covering ones license plate like that is illegal, as far as I understand it.  Law and order!

    "Mr President, this is Congress, we have a problem! We have $88 billion!!!  Sir we don't know where it came from!!!"

    Trump:  "Check the tariffs......"

    r/facepalm - Y’all we got $88 billion dollars due to tariffs

    "Sir" - His most obvious tell about yet another lie.

    But Russia was booted from the G7/8 AFTER it invaded Ukraine with little Green Men and annexed Crimea.  So, of course, he's wrong again.

  4. More hints that FEMA will be done away with in its entirety.  When the feds do contribute money to an area it in the future it will be done differently:

    “We’re going to give it out directly. It’ll be from the president’s office. We’ll have somebody here, could be Homeland Security.”

    Wanna bet which set of states (red versus blue) will get the lion's share of the money?

    Nah, one can get away with a whole lot in the USA, but pedophilia and mistreating dogs are the two no-gos.  

    For pedo, sure.  For dogs.... look who's our Homeland Security head.

    This is true, but the terrorists are probably all just sitting back and laughing at us right now. 

    Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.

    If I had his money, I'm buying the Yankees and Dodgers and running them in a way that make the Rockies look elite.

    All home games first pitch at 10:30AM.  Major overhaul of uniforms to something that make the Padres City Connect kits look tame.  Trade Judge and Ohtani for some single-A bench-warmers and a 2033 18th round draft pick.

    Also is it Germany’s most popular party?

    No.  Well, sort of.  Maybe.  They placed second in the last election.  So no.

    But...  The top party, the Union, is kind of two parties, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and the Christian Social Union (CSU).  The CSU is in Bavaria and the CDU is everywhere else.  So it likely hinges on whether you treat the Union as one party (the two are probably more aligned than the Democrats!) or two.

    However, the Union got 24.1% of the vote to AfD's 10.4%.  Even if you cut the Union in half for CDU and CSU (worst possible outcome, 12%) that is still greater than AfD.  So, now that I consider the exact numbers, the answer is no.  It's not.

    Yeah, I mean, everyone hates Big Pharma and their price-gouging, so this is actually something that will have universal appeal.  And of course that's why he's doing it now as his approval rating is shitting on itself.

    But this will make 100% of Republicans hypocrites when they back him on this.  This is the opposite of small federal government and a free market.

    Yet something tells me they'll have no problem contradicting everything they've ever said before now.  Dance, you profiteering little puppets.

    So, I am supposed to believe:

     

    EVIL! - Negotiating with drug companies to bring down Rx prices, as many other countries already do, for Medicare and Medicaid.  SOCIALISM!

    BRILLIANT! - Mandating a price for Rx that companies can charge.

     

    It just makes my head hurt.  Thank God TFG is lowering drug prices with the stroke of a pen Sharpie!

    Do we even do American Military parades like this? I know we love our 4th of July parades but I don't really remember us doing something like what France does for Bastille Day when they parade all their tanks and whatever.

    en-plus-du-defile-traditionnel-et-d-une-

    So it seems really creepy and un-American.

     

    I believe Trump attended one of the Bastille Day parades as President and was very aroused by it.  He talked of doing the same here.  I suspect he will attempt to make this fantasy real.

    Not just because of the current President, but I'd be 100% behind the idea of removing portraits of Presidents, VPs, Secretaries, etc. from all public buildings around the world.  We are (supposed to be) a nation of laws, not of men (or women).

    Even more silly.  I am annoyed when I see the name of the current agricultural commissioner name on gas station inspection stickers.  So, I know I have issues.

  14. I listened to that episode and at one point she was discussing the story about Warren Buffet paying more in taxes (by percentage points) than his secretary.  I think the economist misspoke, or misunderstood, something about the comparison.  I think the core of the argument is taxes on salary for the middle class (the secretary) is higher than taxes on dividends or long term capital gains for the rich (Warren).  But this distinction was not addressed and she dismissed the anecdote.  I became less enthused about the episode after that.

    On the first Sunday of spring, surrounded by row houses and magnolia trees, I came to a horrifying realization: My mom was right. I had been flipped off at least 17 times, called a “motherfucker” (in both English and Spanish), and a “fucking dork.” A woman in a blue sweater stared at me, sighed, and said, “You should be ashamed of yourself.” All of this because I was driving a Tesla Cybertruck.

    I had told my mom about my plan to rent this thing and drive it around Washington, D.C., for a day—a journalistic experiment to understand what it’s like behind the wheel of America’s most hated car. “Wow. Be careful,” she texted back right away. Both of us had read the stories of Cybertrucks possibly being set on fire, bombed with a Molotov cocktail, and vandalized in every way imaginable. People have targeted the car—and Tesla as a whole—to protest Elon Musk’s role in Donald Trump’s administration. But out of sheer masochism, or stupidity, I still went ahead and spent a day driving one. As I idled with the windows down on a street in the Mount Pleasant neighborhood, a woman glared at me from her front porch: “Fuck you, and this truck, and Elon,” she yelled. “You drive a Nazi truck.” She slammed her front door shut, and then opened it again. “I hope someone blows your shit up.”

    Earlier that day, my first stop was the heart of the resistance: the Dupont Circle farmers’ market. The people there wanted to see the organic asparagus and lion’s-mane mushrooms. What they did not want to see was a stainless-steel, supposedly bulletproof Cybertruck. Every red light created new moments for mockery. “You fucker!” yelled a bicyclist as he pedaled past me on P Street. The diners eating brunch on the sidewalk nearby laughed and cheered. Then came the next stoplight: A woman eating outside at Le Pain Quotidien gave me the middle finger for a solid 20 seconds, all without interrupting her conversation.

    Not that I would rent such a thing, ever.  But if I did I would 100% be sure to get full insurance coverage on it.  One would be a fool not to do so.

  16. Trumps EO mandating documented proof of citizenship excludes birth certificates and non-REAL ID drivers licenses.  Passports are OK though.  If only US citizens with passports voted I feel confident that this last election would have turned out far differently.

    Jokes on them.  The vast majority of Greenlanders live on the other side of the island.  Given the level of intelligence (or sobriety) of the people involved, I refuse to completely rule out the validity of this document.
