In Which Marco Rubio And JD Vance Lecture Germany To Be Nicer To Far Right Extremists Saying the quiet part out loud, again.

Free speech for me and not for thee, part 1,000: Marco Rubio and JD Vance lecturing Germany to tolerate far-right extremists. WEIRD how the only time they want anything to do with Europe, it’s to support the groups that benefit from the meddling of Russia. www.wonkette.com/p/in-which-m...

Bring this to Judge Boasberg's attention before he rules on criminal contempt. And to Judge Xinis's attention so she can decide to rule on criminal contempt in response to the DOJ lies to her about the status of Abrego Garcia. And to SCOTUS. Paying to have him kept is not "facilitating" his return.

If you were wondering what white supremacy looks like, it is when you deprive darker-skinned people in Afghanistan, who risked their lives to help American troops as translators, refugee status, but give it to white South Africans who only helped keep black people down with Apartheid.

Notice how Elon Musk is prioritizing the government withholding money from researching pediatric cancer instead of paying for his exploding rockets?

Not a failing of humanity, decency, or a conflict of interest at all.

Recipient of billions of dollars in federal funds, Elon Musk, will determine if he has any conflicts of interest in policing who gets federal funds.

And Mexican drug cartels will report to the police every time they break any laws. Honest!

The Young, Inexperienced Engineers Aiding Elon Musk’s Government Takeover Engineers between 19 and 24, most linked to Musk’s companies, are playing a key role as he seizes control of federal infrastructure.

@wired.com: β€œ6 young menβ€”all apparently between the ages of 19 and 24 who have little to no government experience are now playing critical roles in Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)” & are heading up Musk’s hostile takeover of our government

First thing I did was to see if this was a parody post, where the guy's name is something like Jack Ovdaly.

It's apparently real.

If SCOTUS upholds this EO, it will be like giving your delinquent teenage son a bottle of Wild Turkey and the keys to your brand new BMW, and telling him, "Don't worry what happens. I'll bail you out."

It's pretty obvious why Fred Trump had to give his incompetent son Donald over $400,000,000 to save him from his stupid decisions.

The email address for federal workers to inform on their colleagues is DEIAtruth@opm.gov.

Would be a real shame if folks flooded that inbox, rendering it useless.

The people who wrote this for Orange Nero probably spent the time for high school science class smoking in the boys' bathroom.

White Supremacy: It's Job One! And yes of course they're saying it out loud. They always do.

Trump's first priorities: ending discrimination against white men, routing out disloyalists and creating a shadow HR where federal employees can rat each other out for BADTHINK. Great.

If your job can be performed by an unskilled migrant worker who can't read or write, and can't speak English, then maybe it's time for you to question your life decisions and not blame the migrant.

Here Is How Trump Moved to Seal the Southern Border on Day 1 President Trump issued a raft of executive orders that effectively block migrants from entering the United States and applying for asylum, closing off major legal channels for immigration.

Sunk cost. They cannot face that they’ve been so utterly bamboozled, so they go right off the cliff after Trump. This is at the core of cults. It’s how they keep members long after people should have been running for the hills.

Vivek Ramaswamy expected to depart DOGE Trump's choice to co-lead the Department of Government Efficiency is expected to announce a gubernatorial campaign after the new administration begins.

I love how some folks thought Elon would be willing to share the limelight...with anyone.

He threw Vivek from the plane _before Inauguration Day_.

That is the sort of thug Elon is, in a nutshell.
