Truly embarrassing they expect tax payers to foot the bill. I thought you were so successful? You can’t afford the event? Guess you can’t have it then.

Kraft Group blasts Foxborough over security negotiations for World Cup - The Boston Globe In a sharply worded new statement, the company says it "would like to understand what the town requires at this stage to get to β€˜yes.’”

You’d think that Bob Kraft of all people would understand that you’ve got to pay up if you want a happy ending .

And yet at America’s liberal elite universities, conservatives are shunned and shamed just for carrying around their copies of β€œMein Kampf”

And the Mad King won’t do anything to stop Putin except insult some Fox β€œNews” stooge.

Sad! Weak! Pathetic!

The Mad King’s depraved indifference to all human life shines through every time he opens his mouth.

Also the Mad King admits it is more likely that the Iranian regime will collapse (it won’t) than surrender as he demands.

This just in: Pete Hegseth, after sober reflection, took to the podium to boast that our ruthless lethal warfighters had bravely reduced Iran’s trombone capability by over 90%, and that the entire woodwind section can expect a similar terrible fate.

To the Mad King the old system was great because it channeled all the rewards of pro college sports to a tiny group of arrogant entitled white men.

Update to my earlier post about my non-negotiable demand to be named starting center fielder for the Red Sox:

When I sit in the center field bleachers ready to catch a home run then I will essentially be in a place of starting center fielder whether the Sox admit it or not.

BlackRock $26 Billion Private Credit Fund Limits Withdrawals The firm’s $26 billion HPS Corporate Lending Fund, one of the largest non-traded business development companies, said in a statement Friday that shareholders requested 9.3% of their shares, but manage...

So the Masters of the Universe at Blackstone couldn't manage to fund redemptions equal to 5% of NAV?

Nothing to see here, suckers, move along

Good riddance to Kristi Noem. Her replacement won’t be an improvement | Moira Donegan The former homeland security chief was an incompetent figurehead of cruelty. Her departure reflects Trump’s political weakness

"Noem was incompetent, corrupt, and seemingly indifferent to both the law and to human suffering. But in this, she was not so much a liability for the Trump administration as a perfect embodiment of Maga governance."

Notice to all dips*** 20-something Mad King minions (including plumped-up liar Karoline Leavitt):

You are all, all eligible for military service

Just a reminder that desperate Republicans, after their Iraq War s*** the bed, propagated the same BS about how democracy was on the march thanks to US aggression.

Kicker: that's how Hamas ended up in control of Gaza!

Now that Kristi Noem will play Shield of the Americas, will the Mad King cast Pam Bondi as the She-Hulk?

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: β€˜They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s β€˜arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights
