what leadership !!!

REPORTER: What responsibility do you feel to the civil servants who have now lost their jobs? Many of them worked at the Dept of Education during your first term.

TRUMP: Many of them don't work at all. Many of them never showed up to work.

Mexico’s President declares start of nationwide census in all elementary schools to provide FREE GLASSES to every child who needs them. 

The program will also provide them with dental assistance, and weight and metabolic management.

Tried to find the photo from Eagle Pass, blacked out during the snowpocalypse, across the border showing an electrified Mexico, but my search skills suck.

Markwayne Mullin actually said tonight that "we were in a recession already with Biden but noone talked about it". LOL so now the Recession Trump is starting actually goes back to when Biden was in office, but nobody was talking about it ... not even MAGA during the campaign. OK Mark, or Wayne, or whatever the fuck it says on your trailer's mortgage paperwork.

Soooo, JD, you gonna listen to the voters, a majority of the voters?  Or is that only for disgusting right-wing minorities in Europe?

 

 

Quote

Pro-business Jens-Frederik Nielsen — who has said Trump’s rhetoric is a “a threat to our political independence” — led the Democrats to victory with nearly 30 percent of the vote

He's definitely a paskudnyak.  

To be fair, I picked up most of my Yiddish from my friends who were from Brookline when I was at Bates.  And that was a looooooong time ago, so it's pretty rusty.

I wonder how much of their power comes from solar arrays, like Boquillas del Carmen, right across the river from Big Bend. They're extremely isolated on the Mexican side of the border, with the nearest town something like 3-4+ hours away, so they rely on their own solar array. They don't have much there, but sun's one thing they get plenty of.

No surprise that turnip’s former spiritual adviser is a pedo predator, is it?

Quote

Robert Morris, the Dallas-area megachurch pastor who resigned last year amid sexual abuse allegations, has been indicted in Oklahoma for child sex crimes that date back to the 1980s.

Morris is a former spiritual adviser to President Donald Trump, and Gateway — one of the nation’s largest megachurches — has been particularly active in politics. In 2020, Trump held a “Roundtable on Transition to Greatness” there that was attended by then-U.S. Attorney General William Barr and other prominent Republicans.

Morris faces five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office said in a Wednesday evening press release.

There was a time when this would have been a solidly conservative poem, but it is absolutely on point for Trumpian populism. 
 

As I pass through my incarnations in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings, I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us. They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us, as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift, Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas while we followed the March of Mankind.

We moved as the Spirit listed. They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress, and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield, or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton; they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses; they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

On the first Feminian Sandstones we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “The Wages of Sin is Death.”

In the Carboniferous Epoch we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money, there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said: “If you don’t work you die.”

Then the Gods of the Market tumbled, and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled and began to believe it was true

That All is not Gold that Glitters, and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future, it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool’s bandaged finger goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

Just another example of our current disinformation climate. We've received quite a few lump sums from backpay for social security from the Social Security Fairness Act that was a bipartisan bill passed in December 2024 and signed by Biden on January 5th. 

We received a message from the operations department to let our customers questioning their deposits know that they're deposits that resulted from the "Trump Administration making changes" and nobody questioned shit about it.

Also, most banks don't handle deposit changes for average consumers. We just put it in the account where the ACH designates it to be deposited and then allow you to move it from there. Basic facts wrong as usual.

Because of the legal shell game they set up. Ostensibly these people were hired into the US Digital Service and that was folded into the Executive Office of the President so it’s “not an agency”. A federal court only just ruled that DOGE is subject to FOIA

Great interview by Michel Martin during today’s Morning Edition on NPR. Edgar is unable to answer when she asks him to describe the “specific conduct the government alleges [Mahmoud Khalil] engaged in that merits removal from the United States.” During the interview she compares Khalil’s actions with Trump’s on January 6 and keeps pushing him to provide specifics.

I smell corruption.  Everybody knows that the Sheinbaum family is full of optometrists.  It's  practically the family business.

Holy shit - I don't think this is going to turn out well for the protestors once the ICE brownshirts show up.

Who cares?  In fact, the more public violence the brownshirts commit, the better.  Make them be lawless fascists in the full light of day.  Because they won't stop at merely arresting these people (as is their right).  They'll beat them for fun, to make a point, to set an example, and to "teach them a lesson," all of which is outside what they are legally permitted to do.

Make fascists be fascists for the world to see.  It's an important step.

Yep.  Just tourists, checking out the sights.  Isn't that the "January 6th play?"  Peaceful tourists, just checking out an important landmark related to our beloved President.
