From the Department of You Damn Well Better Believe They Did This: By announcing their intentions to move forward with a mammoth one bill budget plan that will supposedly sweep up key elements of Donald Trump’s fiscal agenda, enact tax cuts and raise the debt ceiling, House Republicans have placed themselves on a collision course with not just members of their own conference but also Senate Republicans.
The House Republicans revealed their master plan. It involves magic. Also unicorns. And math that would make a kindergartener weep.
They want $4.5 trillion in tax cuts. They'll pay for it with $2 trillion in cuts to the poor. This is what passes for fiscal responsibility in the twilight zone of modern Washington.
The Russians are laughing. Not quietly. Not politely. They're howling with the unrestrained glee of lottery winners who rigged the game.
Their state TV hosts can barely contain themselves. They're watching the American empire crumble in real time. On their own network. For free.
Disney has redefined reality. They now say "ad-free" means "with ads." This is not a joke. This is their actual policy. Welcome to the future.
Our Secretary of Defense says we can't beat the Russian navy. The same Russian navy that lost to a country without ships. This is the caliber of leadership we're working with.
The President-elect forgot to swear in his own intelligence director. Just walked right out. Like a man searching for the bathroom in his own house. With the lights on.
RFK Jr. is praising the man he called terrible eight months ago. His father's corpse is now a perpetual motion machine. The Kennedy legacy dies not with a bang, but with a whimper.
At the Munich Security Conference, we're telling Europeans to just deal with election interference. Like it's a bad weather forecast. Like democracy is just an inconvenience.
Buy a helmet. Stock up on canned goods. Democracy isn't dying in darkness anymore.
It's dying in broad daylight. On live TV. With a laugh track.
And nobody's laughing harder than Putin.
Anyone "remember" the brouhaha over ANYTHING that even hinted at Joe Biden's supposed cognitive decline? I do believe dilberts issues far far far surpass any slowness of speech, pauses or any possible issues that Biden may or may not have had. He sure didnt re-name the Gulf of Mexico OR do any weaving!
TC, my post is not OFF Topic but, Substack Inc " ... Did This" which is to delete my Update on RFK Jr's 1st Day on the Job in the absence of CDC Measles Outbreak data despite the Court Order obtained by Non-profit "Doctors of America" to restore data to CDC's web pages.
I got the full deletion of my Substack post by citing accurate medical data on a Measles Outbreak in Gaines County, Texas. I cited an alert by a professional Author who accurately tallied 24 total infections so far. That's 22 unvaccinated Children & 2 unvaccinated 'Adults' for a total of 24 cases so far & counting. This could worsen.
Mayor Adams should by all means switch parties.He has all of the prerequisites to being a dyed in the wool Republican, lying through his teeth, crooked as hell and very shift shaping and unreliable.He would fit in perfectly with President Musk and his assistant’s effort to dismantle our democracy.
I also thanked Gov Hochul for standing up to the Louisiana AG.With the firehouse of news,what is happening with reproductive rights is getting buried.It’s absolutely horrifying.Attempts to extradite physicians and 6 states have filed legislation that would charge a woman who has an abortion with murder,many of those states have the death penalty.
“New York is a shield state that protects abortion providers and allows them to mail abortion medication without fear of prosecution. New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says “there’s no way in hell” she’d extradite Carpenter.”
I think it would be a very grave mistake for Hochul to remove Adams.
Kathy Hochul should not remove Adams because, if she does, he will immediately be of no further use to the Musk regime. He needs to remain in place as Mayor so that when Pam Bondi eventually finds her corrupt underling to submit a request to the court asking to allow the DOJ to drop the charges, the judge can initiate an investigation into the matters Danielle Sassoon brought to light in her resignation letter. Emil Bove's conflict of interest, complicity, destruction of evidence and obstruction, plus the corrupt nature of this entire "Dismissal without prejudice."
Hopefully Governor Kathy Hochul (D) can see that removing Adam's would be a massive political faux pas and own-goal, which would make all the potential blowback against the Rebublicans evaporate.
Exactly Craig, she should let this play out in the courts where the embarrassments are going to just keep coming, this is a “rule of law” thing with the people standing on solid rock and the DoJ standing in quicksand. In this case time is on our side, tick tock!!!

TC, on Texas Measles Outbreak per local station KYFO there's a confirmed case in LUBBOCK TX today. Dallas News says the Outbreak Texas' is the largest in 30 years. The Texas DSHS woke up in the absence of the CDC & with RFK Jr AWOL the state of Texas now confirms 48 positive infections in "last 3 weeks".
I have to say hats off to chump. I feel sure that he was the one person who picked the losers in his cabinet. Not Project 2025 cretins but the one person with revenge and stick it to the libs mentality to the bone. He could not have picked a more appropriate group to cause maximum consternation and abject fear. I still expect that Sarah Palin will find a niche somewhere. I say good riddance Mayor of NY. Kick his arse to the curb.
For your amusement (or whatever), I just saw on Fleecebarf a meme that reported that Trump was signing an executive order pulling federal funds from any public schools mandating vaccinations, particularly Covid vaccinations..... Looks as though he is right in step with RFK Jr.
I saw the Juicy Dicknugget snippet - I interpreted that whole stream of thought as a backhanded way of criticizing the anti-nazi laws in Germany. When he was talking about "expressing opinions" it immediately sounded like a listen-to-all-sides plea that really meant listening to nazis.
Thank you for making the news readable and laughable, though through tears of frustration. I'm always speechless at the newest degradation. and I my refrain is only: " this too shall pass." Not an actual belief, but a hope.
It’s endless isn’t it Tom, most people try to do good as they move through life, others, very few fortunately are anarchists whose reason for existence is to bring pain, I view them as satanic others might disagree, but their motivation is to inflict pain. The maggots, many of whom are in pain, believe that others should join them, it’s total madness, it’s like watching a runaway train crash through school buses full of children that have been left abandoned on the tracks while their drivers escaped. 🤬
If things REALLY go sideways (as if they are not now), the Bride wants to decamp to the UK for the duration and maybe longer, depending on what happens in 2028..... I've always wanted to attend Telford.....
Let me see if I’ve got this right—

We are fucked.
I hate liking this like everyone else has probably hated liking the original post. But the facts is the facts.
I don’t know how you survive reading all the bombs that are being dropped on us continuously.
Learned in the Navy: "Sir! Thank you for this shit sandwich! It tastes good! Can I have some more?"
Yeah. I forgot for a second you that have served your country. It’s too bad— we the people —have forgotten about you. ❤️❤️
Well and truly - see my post below.....the kids are fucked too.....

Wow - I am truly surprised.
I'd hit like but boy this is scary. And its only the beginning.
Mayor Adams should by all means switch parties.He has all of the prerequisites to being a dyed in the wool Republican, lying through his teeth, crooked as hell and very shift shaping and unreliable.He would fit in perfectly with President Musk and his assistant’s effort to dismantle our democracy.
Gov Hochul is getting pressure to remove Mayor Adams.
Hochul's number in Albany is 1-518-474-8390 | Office hours: 9:00am to 5:00pm.Call after hours if you’re phone shy.
Here is a form letter: https://www.governor.ny.gov/content/governor-contact-form
I also thanked Gov Hochul for standing up to the Louisiana AG.With the firehouse of news,what is happening with reproductive rights is getting buried.It’s absolutely horrifying.Attempts to extradite physicians and 6 states have filed legislation that would charge a woman who has an abortion with murder,many of those states have the death penalty.

oh yes. (that list is of the only countries that do NOT have a Sales/VAT tax and thus qualify for tariff free trade. )

67 cases of tuberculosis in
Kansas at last count before
CDC went dark. That's
spread through coughing
droplets.

Hopefully it will kill a lot of future MAGAts.
As they said at Sand Creek while massacring the Native Americans, "Nits make lice....."

We're heading to France for our niece's wedding in June. Not looking forward to the reception we, as Americans, will get over there.
No, you will very likely get a very good reception. They like Americans who hate Dilbert.
Buy a Canadian flag lapel pin?
🇨🇦
Lucky you. I think I would just elect to stay in France for the duration.
If things REALLY go sideways (as if they are not now), the Bride wants to decamp to the UK for the duration and maybe longer, depending on what happens in 2028..... I've always wanted to attend Telford.....
Keep a guest room for the other refugees...
They have some great soccer there, it’s world class, with the best players from all over the globe who want to play there.
