Trump probably gets a cut of the suppliers' profits.

The "meritocracy" exposed: Internal emails reveal how the Trump administration hires legal interns “You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.”

DEI is bad, but white, mediocre, partisan meritocracy is good.

Gary Larson's 10 Funniest Far Side Comics About Heaven And Hell Gary Larson has mused over hundreds of topics across The Far Side run and one theme he always came back to poke fun at was heaven and hell.

Need a dose of humor in these unfunny times?
That's why god created Gary Larson. If you don't want to read the article, just go through the stand-alone comics in it ... My favorite is "Nerds In Hell".

They are self-righteous about sex, but not treason and violence.

As an aside: Republicans have peeped into American bedrooms for a long time. They are hypocrites in their personal lives. Just recently, remember Matt Gatz that paragon of virtue? Trump's nominee for Attorney General. In plain sight.

It was called the Spanish Flu because Spain was neutral in WWI and didn't censor the information. It was reporting on it unlike some countries fighting in the war.

The U.S. has a nationwide sinkhole of corruption, but especially in the Trump administration.

"(In briefings to Congress, Trump administration officials did not suggest there was an imminent strike, and publicly Israel has said they began the war because of an 'operational opportunity' to kill Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran.)"

Bernie knows the score (and is here on Bluesky)

Trump is a stooge of Netanyahu and Putin. What a gift!

A narcissist and coward with dementia who can easily be manipulated.

US troops were told war on Iran was ‘all part of God’s divine plan’, watchdog alleges Religious freedom group says 200 troops sent complaints of superiors using extremist Christian rhetoric to justify war

Religious extremists in the U.S. and Israel operate as if the rest of the world is collateral damage to play out their fantasies.

and a Trump administration "propagandist" ... I recall all the influencers invited to D.C. last year who got binders labeled "The Epstein Files" from Bondi. Useful idiots.

Trump threatens to use Spain air bases to bomb Iran despite veto THIS is the extraordinary moment Donald Trump made a thinly-veiled threat to take over Spain’s jointly-controlled air bases in Andalucia and use them to

Again, Trump thinks he is king of the world. I have some advice for him: Stick to choosing and admiring drapes and faux gold.

Yes, and keep sending those medical ships to the sick in Greenland.

Spain begins evacuation of 30,000 nationals in Middle East THE first evacuation flight bringing stranded Spanish nationals back from the conflict-ridden Middle East has taken off as the government initiates

Unlike the US Embassy in Jerusalem that essentially said you are on your own. "They advised citizens to shelter in place and make their own security arrangements."
Good effort, Spain!

Always the innocents suffer. Children in Iran, children in Gaza. To politicians ranting about decreasing populations here's an idea: Protect and nurture children who are alive!

Well Huckabee, the U.S. Ambassador, is worthless. Was it a month ago he said Israel has a biblical claim to a huge chuck of the Middle East? Isn't he a Christian Zionist? He must be thrilled imaging the End Times with Israel at war. But worthless at his job.

Trump Admits He Has No War Plan in Bombshell Letter The president appeared to confirm fears that he’s improvising when it comes to his military campaign in Iran.

I'm sure Trump thought of it as a TV episode, optics. Venezuela is an example of that. Put on a show and take something of value. He has no concept of how government works, foreign policy, diplomacy, etc. It's real estate development, shady deals and bribes.

There is a lot of confusion over orcas. Wild orcas have never killed humans, battered boats sometimes, but not a human. I watch kayakers from drones. I would consider myself lucky if they were tagging along. Sharks are scared of them. For good reason: orcas enjoy their livers (but no fava beans).

Pete Hegseth sets the tone for Trump’s politically incorrect war on Iran In a combative press conference, the Pentagon chief dodged questions about the goals of the US military’s Iran operation

"Mark Warner, Democratic vice-chair of the Senate intelligence committee, said he was worried for the implications of the US allowing Israel to essentially force it into a new war."

“There was no imminent threat to the United States of America by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel.”

A "plan" like a medical care plan for Americans? Still waiting on that.

Yup. Don't count on legacy media on this one. It is Netanyahu's war with an assist from Trump.
I haven't seen anything on how Evangelicals are reacting. Isn't this in their playbook? Israel in a war? Huckabee just recently said Israel deserves a big chunk of the Middle East. A biblical right!

Anyone know what "Test1 for Moderation" is? I remember its name was something like Aseo? Maybe a couple posts. It was a list I was on that I saw last night. I can't find today (I was going to investigate)? There were many Bluesky people on it.

Am I paranoid? This timeline is chaos.

Pentagon Pete Throws Tantrum at His Own Hand-Picked Reporters The so-called ‘Secretary of War’ couldn’t even handle a minor conflict with his own press pool.

How many imbeciles can fit into a clown car? Hegseth, Patel, Noem, Carr, and on and on.... with Trump driving.

Good time for Trump to default to Rubio again. Wasn't Rubio supposed to rule Venezuela and any other country or ocean or space that dinged Trump's demented mind?
