Hegseth as Mattis? More shrill cosplay than command presence.

Just remember. On the day of the christian rapture Trump couldn't even get an escalator to lift him up towards god...

Everyone is talking about the rapture like there is no tomorrow.

Do we know if enough left to affect the housing market? I’m exclusively heathen adjacent so looking for an update.

Rand Paul is upset his grandson can’t go to the WH picnic; while American children are sent to other countries, and a Senator is handcuffed and forced out of an Executive Branch press briefing. For trying to conduct congressional oversight in his district. His poor grandson.

Pete Hegseth is a scourge; they waited until Pride month to announce this.

The GOP’s Big Medicaid Idea Was Tried Beforeβ€”And Failed Badly Arkansas and Georgia tried work requirements, and the results were not pretty.

Along with Horse and Sparrow economics (Trickle Down) the Facists don’t care if something doesn’t work. They want to to force their world view on you regardless of reality.

Your children only need two dolls but I need a free luxury plane that will cost the American people half to one billion dollars to retrofit and I get to keep when I leave office.

In another blow to legacy media, I'm hearing that the Trump administration plans to remove The Atlantic from its war-plans group chat. The outlet will be replaced in the chat by the Gateway Pundit.

As this administration lurches ahead like a toddler with a caffeine addiction, it’s blindingly obvious Pete Hegseth was a DOD - dui hire.

Funnily, I was playing with Meta AI to rewrite, β€œAs this administration stumbles forward it becomes apparent Pete Hegseth is the DOD, dui hire.” Errored out each time.

I removed Hegseth’s name and the error disappeared.

Depeche Mode - Violator (full album)
YouTube video by autumnblaze666 Depeche Mode - Violator (full album)

The second greatest album, Violator, Depeche Mode, came out 35 years ago. I wonder if it sounds as dated and old to gen Z & A as the Big Bopper and Richie Valens did to me back in 1990?

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mark Klein. In 2006, Mark showed up at EFF’s front door with a simple question: β€œDo you folks care about privacy?” We did. And what Mark told us changed everything.
