I hate to break it to you but the Dems are fucked. It doesn’t matter how bad Trump messes things up, as long as the central messaging is that Dems are responsible for your suffering, Dems won’t win. People are fucking stupid. Dems need to tap into how Trump fucked people and make that into a genuine movement. Dems in Texas can’t even tap into the disgust conservatives have for school vouchers to start a real movement. The division is real and misinformation has changed the way the political game should be played. 

This post is more depressing when read in Hank Hill’s voice.

This is fine.  This is normal.  

(This is unconstitutional usurping of Congress's power of the purse).

A few highlights:

The discontinued grants include about $11.4 billion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, as well as around $1 billion from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, known as S.A.M.H.S.A.

On Tuesday, Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the federal Department of Health and Human Services, said in a statement: “The Covid-19 pandemic is over, and H.H.S. will no longer waste billions of taxpayer dollars responding to a nonexistent pandemic that Americans moved on from years ago.”

The Trump administration’s cancellations of grants and contracts throughout the government has led to numerous lawsuits from states and nonprofit groups, which are still in their early stages. The health grants in question were authorized and appropriated by Congress, and their termination may lead to new lawsuits. Several states said they were exploring legal options.

The funds from S.A.M.H.S.A. were not earmarked for Covid programs, and they were intended to address mental health and substance use issues.

You know when you sit back and think about it we have sort of dodged a bullet.  If not for the massive level of incompetence, we were very, very, very lucky some dumbass add Jeffrey Goldberg to the INCREDIBLY FUCKING STUPID group chat.

If not, the only folks that would know what a fucking security risks these dumbasses are, would be Russia and China.

A billion dollars says our Russian Agent DNI appointee, was on her private fucking phone.  Anybody want to bet otherwise.

Not like anyone is going to buy one, anyway.

I would do it just to antagonize Trump and Elon. This administration has done more to galvanize Europe in two months than since the end of WW2. Antagonizing the adults in charge on this side of the pond has only served to make Europe stronger.

They’re re-engineering the meaning of words to facilitate their long game. It is now a violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act to consider discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Interested parties are being encouraged to consider if promotions given to traditionally protected classes were tainted by DEI bias, and to seek redress if they suspect such bias:

  • EEOC Guidance on DEI-Related Discrimination:
    The EEOC, in collaboration with the Department of Justice, has issued guidance clarifying that employment actions motivated by an employee's race, sex, or other protected characteristic, even if part of a DEI program, can be unlawful discrimination. 
     
  • What to Do If You Experience Discrimination Related to DEI at Work:
    This joint guidance document, issued by the EEOC and DOJ, provides information on how to file a complaint and outlines examples of how DEI policies, programs, or practices may be unlawful if motivated by protected characteristics.

"Preserve credibility?" Let me tell you something, Don, there's absolutely no reason to worry about that.

In any normal admin, NSA or SecDef or both would already have been forced to commit seppuku so this would go away. That isn’t happening here because the admin assembled a cabinet of imbeciles for the express purpose of making the Congressional GOP eat shit and roll over. 
 

It is axiomatic that there will be more and worse fuckups than this.  That’s the price of building the League of Extraordinary Halfwits.  They can’t give up a scalp this early.

food was loaded and ready for delivery. pure evil ...

 

Trump cancels 20 semi-truck loads of food deliveries en route to Ohio food bank.

Each truck holds 100,000 lbs—so that’s $2 million worth of food—about a week’s worth for Northeast Ohi

"This food is just going to sit and spoil... And that would be the loss of 2 million, 3 million pounds of food," explained Food Bank CEO Kristin Warzocha.

point of order:  most trucks can only handle about 50,000 lbs of cargo.  Max weight overall is 80,000 and you've got to account for the weight of the tractor and the trailer.

 

@drifter379 please correct me if I'm wrong

It continues to amaze me how not a single one of these fucking goons is capable of admitting a fuck up regardless of the scenario. I've never seen less accountability in my entire life. They are a text book example of every single thing you never want in a leader of any organization at any level.

What makes me rage is the fact that they can basically say, "Yeah, so what?" and they still choose lying. It's not like anything will come out of it. Wouldn't it be bigger big dick energy to own it and keep your job anyway?

A quick side note: Donald Trump reportedly told transportation secretary and Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Seasons champion Sean Duffy that he should hire Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates to work as air traffic controllers. The average starting salary for an MIT undergraduate is $126,438. The starting salary out of ATC school is $43,727. Business savvy!

Yeah I talked about this when it happened. Just another quick little peak behind the curtain into the brain of Mr. Art of the Deal, showing his true level of knowledge and what color the sky is in his world. 

Hint, for those who didn't figure it long ago like the rest of us ... he's a moron.

I’d take Chauncey Gardner over Trump any day. Trump couldn’t grow a garden if he tried. Chauncey may have been an imbecile (too) but he wasn’t malevolent.

Yep. Me too. I referenced ol' Chauncey more in the context of how wrongly so many people reacted to him - perceiving his wisdom, or lack thereof.

Country Boy Breakfast, FTW. Love me some country ham and it's hard af to find. Any of y'all know where I can get some besides at CB, please lemme know. On a side note, back before my parents moved us from Tennessee to Texas, we used to eat at the first (and at that time the only) CB, in Lebanon, Tn, right outside of Nashville. It was a lot better back then. /csb Just doing a weave like the dotard.

There is no "seems" about it. I am amazed at how many people have no idea how fucked this country is going to get how quickly. Too many people are assuming that the protections/firewalls we relied on in the past are still a thing.

I'm not sure what you are talking about.  They clearly have made "diversity" and "equity" code words for discrimination, so you want those words out of your policies. The burdens on a discrimination claim remain the same.  The EEOC is just going to be focusing on cases brought by white bitchy males in the next few years.
