Pretty sure Lyndon Johnson would have something to say about this notion.

Your joke would have be funnier with Caitlyn Jenner, but that token got spent.

That's the private equity game; find a well run, smart business with good managers and staff, strip everything and everybody good out to make it look great on the books, sell off the pieces you can and either sell it on to the next dope or charge uncle sam for the loss to offset profits elsewhere.

As far as I can tell private equity is every subpar inherited-wealth asshat who's never spent a day actually working pretending they have any idea what they fuck they're doing.

That's already reversed every order by declaring the president lawfully immune to anything if something is called an official act. 23–939 TRUMP v. UNITED STATES will go down next to Citizens United in the annals of shameful and consequential court decisions.

For a party that has (had) a boner for Atlas Shrugged they sure don't see themselves as the moochers.

A friend posed a challenging question of what's a food you can't stop eating. Took a couple days to come up with it, but devilled eggs was my answer. I would clear out every last one if allowed.

Everybody, read the throughline correctly. They want this. It's part of the plan. Shut the government down permanently and fund only what the GOP donors and ideologues like. Who's going to stop them? The DOJ? The courts? We are living in Grover Norquist's wettest of dreams.

Does uh... does he know this isn't a filibuster situation? House isn't in session. Republicans aren't in DC. And they just don't have the votes to pass a budget.

I don't think it's offensive to point out how often so-called Christians use faith as shield and cudgel to inflict cruelty on people they have an edict by their lord and savior to love but instead they choose to irrationally hate.

In the last five years a lot of companies did a lot of FA'ing with their pricing, quality, and consistency and now are in the FO'ing phase of their demolished reputations.

This seems like a massive security problem. Handing over the blueprints of technology and techniques for our most advanced deterrents is a not a great idea. I get it, Newport News only has so much capacity and Korea has enormous shipbuilding capacity, but they build boxes, not pressure hulls.

Hey everybody who's not Tara, remember, you don't have to put up with this baloney on Bluesky. Shitheels get reported and blocked. Don't engage with trolls.

Being free of mom and dad on a ship at sea for me to explore? Man, that's like high-level living the dream stuff for an 80s kid.

It really makes you wonder just how many clients Epstein had. Like, holy shit Mikey, how many donors and current GOP representatives are you protecting? Wouldn't a supposed Christian want justice for those victims?

Shameful.

Shambolic.

Grievous.

There have also definitely been presidents who didn't spray diarrhea all over the constitution, but here we are in a future where "who's gonna stop me?" is the new rule of law.

Amusingly he's fully eligible to run for congress and the House has no limitations on being elected speaker, which would put him at second in line for the presidency, which he should not be eligible for.

Our system is stupid and filled with holes that have never been tested.
