Hopefully, we can plant a few seeds that future generations can use to make the human existence better for all of us, regardless of color or ethnicity.

Not gonna happen. You seem to be forgetting the ironclad rules:

It only gets worse.

There is no bottom.

We know where this movement takes us. Every time. Always. Without exception. Shit like lynchings, death camps, etc. And the rebuttal all the MAGAs have is "oh yeah? I don't see any death camps!" Correct. Which is something every German in the mid-1930s could say, truthfully. Which tells you that "I don't see it NOW" is the dumbest fucking rebuttal known to man. A fucking moron on a plane nosediving to earth could say "what, we're flying in the air right now, we haven't crashed!" right up to the moment before they become one with a smoldering crater.

We are headed for horrors. And the worst part about it? We are going there ON PURPOSE.

Lawsuit challenging the renaming. https://washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/new-lawsuit-challenges-illegal-renaming-of-the-kennedy-center/

Looks like a winner, winner, chicken dinner.

Doesn't mention a bylaw change.

The fucking weirdest thing about renaming it WHILE he’s in office is ALL of these Washington sites named for presidents was done so posthumously. This egomaniac needs it done while he can still exert control over people, knowing any posthumous naming of ANYTHING for him is highly unlikely.

Joe Biden would have been impeached if he tried to rename a memorial after himself.

The USS JFK is the next aircraft carrier to be delivered to the US Navy in 2027. And the only one named for a Dem president. I don’t believe for a second that Hegseth and Trump aren’t discussing renaming it after Trump. Maybe they will toss JFK a bone by renaming a future one after him.

The Kennedy family might be punished if they make too big of a deal of the Kennedy center renaming.

And speaking of being petty, Trump won’t stand that a future aircraft carrier is set to be named after Clinton. It’s still 10 years from being commissioned. My guess is that Trump is unaware of this plan.

I'm so very torn on Brisket's post-Trump philosophy. On the one hand I very much subscribe to philosophy 1, don't like this "fuck other people over" world we live in (though I do realize at present these folks need to feel some pain to get this stuff out of here...but that's their guy doing it to them) and would like it to all end post haste.

On the other hand one of our problems in this country is that post-Civil War there simply wasn't enough pain for what transpired and we still live with it to this day. If history is a guide you kind of do have to do what he is saying because humans at their core are animals who learn best through experience/action as opposed to words etc.

Just rambling but the thought of it all fucking sucks.

Just as a starting point, I would suggest actually bringing charges this time for the people committing crimes. It's insane that Trump was even able to run for president in 2024.

So they are trying to pump up this Somalian day care fraud myth/conspiracy thing in Minnesota because a.) Walz is up for reelection this year (2026) and b.) they know they need a made up story to gain traction going into the midterms because they are losing.

Right?

Trump IS fraud. That's his whole thing. I'm not sure how these people do this shit with a straight face.

Leavitt was rambling this morning about all the fraud in "blue states" they're gonna be going after. It's just all so obviously performative and absurd.

Every single day for the past few weeks, there’s been numerous posts by him that make it clear he is miserable, feels inadequate, and is just angry at the world. This is one of those.

I'm no car buff, but that car sure looks like its from the 1950s or 60s. Such an odd choice. 🤨

EXCLUSIVE IVANKA TRUMP SPARKS ASPEN HOLIDAY OUTRAGE AS SHE ACTS LIKE FIRST LADY

Ivanka Trump may have been aiming for a cozy, glamorous Christmas in Aspen — but insiders say her over-the-top Secret Service presence turned the ski town into a full-blown security lockdown, leaving other holidaymakers furious.

“You’d think she was the President himself,” one guest said.

According to witnesses, the scale of protection stunned even Aspen regulars, who are used to A-listers and billionaires blending in quietly.

“She acts like she’s the First Lady,” one insider complained. “The security footprint was massive. It completely disrupted skiing for everyone else.”

Here we go again: Retiring coal plant forced to stay open...

This time, a Colorado plant scheduled to shut down will be kept on standby.

On Tuesday, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright issued a now familiar order: because of a supposed energy emergency, a coal plant scheduled for closure would be forced to remain open. This time, the order targeted one of the three units present at Craig Station in Colorado, which was scheduled to close at the end of this year. The remaining two units were expected to shut in 2028.

The supposed reason for this order is an emergency caused by a shortage of generating capacity. “The reliable supply of power from the coal plant is essential for keeping the region’s electric grid stable,” according to a statement issued by the Department of Energy. Yet the Colorado Sun notes that Colorado’s Public Utilities Commission had already analyzed the impact of its potential closure, and determined, “Craig Unit 1 is not required for reliability or resource adequacy purposes.”

The order does not require the plant to actually produce electricity; instead, it is ordered to be available in case a shortfall in production occurs. As noted in the Colorado Sun article, actual operation of the plant would potentially violate Colorado laws, which regulate airborne pollution and set limits on greenhouse gas emissions. The cost of maintaining the plant is likely to fall on the local ratepayers, who had already adjusted to the closure plans.

The use of emergency powers by the DOE is authorized under the Federal Power Act, which allows it to order the temporary connection of generation or infrastructure when the US is at war or when “an emergency exists by reason of a sudden increase in the demand for electric energy, or a shortage of electric energy.” It is not at all clear whether “we expect demand to go up in the future,” the DOE’s current rationale, is consistent with that definition of emergency. It is also hard to see how using coal plants complies with other limits placed on the use of these emergency orders:

Spoiler

The Commission shall ensure that such order requires generation, delivery, interchange, or transmission of electric energy only during hours necessary to meet the emergency and serve the public interest, and, to the maximum extent practicable, is consistent with any applicable Federal, State, or local environmental law or regulation and minimizes any adverse environmental impacts.

At the moment, coal-fueled generation is more expensive than anything other than nuclear power, and is far and away the dirtiest form of generation. Its airborne pollution is responsible for a significant number of deaths in the US, and it leaves behind solid waste that is rich in toxic metals. It’s difficult to square those financial and health costs with serving the public interest.

Yet the Trump Administration has relied heavily on declaring energy emergencies in its attempt to keep coal afloat despite the economics. A check of the use of similar emergency orders shows that, in the past year, the Administration has declared 16 energy emergencies—more than the entire total declared between 2008 and 2024.

The Administration’s reliance on this sort of emergency declaration is in the process of being challenged in court, though. Several states and a collection of environmental organizations recently filed a suit that argues that the administration is misusing what’s meant to be a response to temporary emergencies by simply renewing the orders indefinitely, as it has with a coal plant in Michigan that has been forced to remain open well past the summer demand surge that the DOE initially used as its justification.

If someone had told me 10 years ago that I'd hate that fucking song even more than I already did 10 years ago, I would have told them there was no fucking way to hate it more than I already did. And I would have been oh so fucking wrong.

Is there a thread or discussion going on Trump's fuckery with mailing? They're changing the postmark rules to no longer mark when received and instead mark when sorted. It's a change chasing mail in voting but it's gonna have MASSIVE repercussions for tax and legal processes to which previously relied on postmark dates.

Oh, and CBP is no longer accepting REAL ID as a validation of citizenship and if you're brown they're looking for any reason to handcuff you.

Oh, and he's defunding childcare in Minnesota because MAGA troll and his masked goons was denied entry into a daycare. So it's obviously fraud.

Come on 2026. Do your thing
