I gave up, too. I'll catch it in transcripts. Skim through all this bullshit.

Fired? I'd be worried about being indicted when he does fall. There's a lot of that to spread around, though. They're playing it like they're pretty certain this will work in Congress, too. At least his tenuous grip on the Senate is faltering. His batshit Davos... uh... performance scared them.

Especially when we factor in the loss of economic productivity from the legal immigrants who are avoiding their workplaces because scotus allowed ICE to use racial profiling.

They thought they would be getting a useful idiot. But instead, they just got a chaotic bundle of neuroses and psychoses crammed uncomfortably into a failing mind and body, doddering into dementia. But they worked for SO long to get here...

Hey MAGA women: they murdered a white, Christian, 37-year old mother of three, with a glove box full of stuffed animals, after she had just dropped her 6-year old off at school. And they are slandering her, as cover. Feeling a bit odd?
(Here she is on mission in Ireland.)

Yes, they are, but not without glitches. This past week, the atmospheric river delivered up a power outage in about a third of SF. The traffic lights went out and confused Waymos all stopped at or in intersections around the area. j/s

Which says right there that all that uberreligious piety is purely performative.

all these incompetent people in the current regime are ruining my ability to have suspension of disbelief when watching procedurals that rely on government competence as a major plot device

Van Gogh Gogh Godzilla!

He wanted to prove it was finally safe again.
Not for him.

He as good as said "Bring it on."
Karma said "Sure. Here you go."

Sorry (not sorry), Mitch... we're not buying your redemption tour. YOU did this. You did it painstakingly over decades. You worked it all along. Now, I know it wasn't your intention to have the trap finally spring with a brain-addled criminal at the helm. You would have preferred it WORSE, smarter.

Melania: "Not with a rubber one."

They're unwittingly doing the work of the times. Can you think of a more obscenely "Let them eat cake" analogy for this particular moment in history?

But, hey... DOGE apparently made him more efficient, too. No wasted time and effort for telemetry and staging. Just blow it up on the pad!

I've settled on a nearly universal blessing for times like these:
May they get everything they deserve. If your karma is clean, it's a blessing. People who hear it as a threat need to take a good, deep look inside.

So much schadenfreude...

Sometimes all it takes is a little kompromat.

Yes!

Shit... why didn't you just turn out for the rally and pick up your $oro$ Buck$, eh?

I'm thinking vinyl stickers.
Ooh... maybe Mylar...
applied with the wrong glue. 🙂

Insurance is going to be the breaking point for people buying Teslas.

Accurate.

As Robert Reich put it: "In normal times, I recommend that Democrats vote for continuing budget resolutions. But these are not normal times. Why should any Democrat vote for the Trump-Musk-Vance regime to continue illegally usurping from Congress the power of the purse?"

They did try to ditch the leases on the courthouses. Pretty much the same outcome.

I hope he has a PEACHY time on his upcoming book tour.
