The worst part of his letting criminals go free is they will no longer have to abide by agreements that compelled them to pay back the millions they stole from victims. They’re getting off scot free.

Still one of my favorite tv bits. Are people starting to do this if Trump is in visual range?

i've often dreamed that some decent golfer would challenge 15 time club champion Donald Trump to a match play competition for $1 million bucks.  challenge him in front of tv cameras.  and when Trump said no (since he doesn't want to be exposed as a cheating fraud), then the golfer who made the challenge started doing the Arrested Development chicken dances.

i'm a simple man.

Federal International Trade Court has nullified all of numbnuts tariffs effective immediately. Stocks go zoom.

How can that be a thing?  Countries can tariff whatever they want. And they will suffer the consequences.

They’ll never be the same!

 

also, it’s the federal court of international trade, not an international court of trade.

Harvard leadership should gather in front of cameras and munch on some tacos, then tell Trump "We're good."  then keep eating them tacos.

They should set up a Harvard branded taco truck outside the White House.

It's all fun and games until Trump announces a Taco Ban. The public has sat back while Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Religion, Due process, and privacy rights have been assaulted. We shall finally see an uprising if tacos are taken away.

Look at this fucking drivel.

https://steube.house.gov/press-releases/rep-steube-introduces-make-autorail-great-again-act-to-rebrand-dc-metrorail-as-wmaga-and-trump-train/

“WMATA has received billions in federal assistance over the years and continues to face operational, safety, and fiscal challenges,” said Rep. Steube. “In the spirit of DOGE, this bill demands accountability by conditioning federal funding on reforms that signal a cultural shift away from bureaucratic stagnation toward public-facing excellence and patriotism.”

Rebranding WMATA as WMAGA and the rail system as the Trump Train represents more than a name change; it is a mandate for performance and transformation. “Like any struggling institution, WMATA needs a fresh identity that aligns with efficiency, service quality, and renewed public trust. These new names serve as a bold rallying point for much-needed reform,” Steube added.

Maybe one of the victims will exercise their 2nd amendment rights.

Quote

The Trump administration is adding four essay questions to applications for civil service jobs, asking applicants about their favorite executive orders and their commitment to government efficiency.

The essay requirements apply even to relatively lower-level jobs starting at the GS-5 pay scale or above — positions that can begin at base salaries as low as $32,357. Those jobs include nursing assistants, park rangers and firefighters.

 

Quote

The new questions, outlined in a memo from the Office of Personnel Management on Thursday, include ones that could give insight into the applicant’s political philosophy for civil service jobs that are supposed to be nonpartisan. 

Among them: “How has your commitment to the Constitution and the founding principles of the United States inspired you to pursue this role within the Federal government? Provide a concrete example from professional, academic, or personal experience.”

 

Quote

Another question, about how a job seeker would advance the president’s executive orders or policy initiatives — is similar to a question asked of applicants for top political jobs as a loyalty test. It asks applicants to “Identify one or two relevant Executive Orders or policy initiatives that are significant to you, and explain how you would help implement them if hired.”

 

Spoiler

Two other questions ask how applicants would improve government efficiency and about their personal work ethic.

Responses must be 200 words or fewer and the memo seeks to prevent any cheating. “Applicants will be required to certify that they are using their own words, and did not use a consultant or AI,” the memo says, referring to artificial intelligence. 

The 30-page memo, from White House Domestic Policy Council Director Vince Haley and OPM acting director Charles Ezell, implements President Donald Trump’s executive order ending diversity, equity and inclusion in federal hiring.

The order also required that the government prioritize hiring people “committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution.”

But Trump is also reshaping the US government’s workforce in other ways, overhauling the civil service system by giving him power to directly hire and fire as many as 50,000 jobs previously reserved for career federal employees.

 

“What we’ve seen is an overwhelming effort to cow the workforce and frankly ensure that there’s a loyalty to the president of the day more than anything else,” said Max Stier, president of the Partnership for Public Service, a nonpartisan group focused on improving the federal workforce. 

Asking the new questions is “deeply problematic,” he said.

“Bluntly, it’s an almost partisan and ideological overlay without understanding the responsibilities they’re hiring for.” For example, there’s no reason why a dental hygienist at the Department of Veterans Affairs should have an understanding of Trump’s executive orders, Stier said.

Beyond the content of the questions, Stier said adding four essay questions to an already burdensome federal hiring process can only make it more difficult for the government to hire the best workers, calling it “a recipe for dysfunction.”

But OPM says the questions aren’t much different from those any employer would ask to make sure that a prospective employee fits with company culture.

“It is a best practice in hiring to ask all applicants the same questions,” said OPM spokeswoman McLaurine Pinover. “The answers can then be evaluated by the hiring manager and agency leadership to evaluate whether the candidate would be a good fit for the role.”

The federal personnel agency said the plan’s overall goal is to reduce the length of the hiring process to less than 80 days and create “a federal workforce that reflects the highest standards of merit and service.” 

The memo also implements new skill-based assessments, consisting of at least two tests of technical skills for many jobs, and eliminates unnecessary college degree requirements for many positions.
