Civil servants tiptoe past a room of putrid power and all of them await at last their fate upon the hour. A jester's smiling innocence distracts with shiny things while everyone prostrates themselves in the court of the Orangish King

I sometimes wonder if they actually know. Most of the time I think, of course they know, they have to know. But, then, other times, I think it's barely possible that they don't know and yet are still able to dress themselves and feed themselves.

The second half of this year is only one month away, so now you know, right? And, JD is unqualified to opine on anything rationally. Remember, he stated as fact that Haitians were eating the dogs and eating the cats. He also insulted the president of Ukraine. JD's a dumbass.

So, did you find out what your sin was? And, was it worth finding out? Asking for a friend... me. Their demands for a hearing was beyond me because I don't have an iPhone. This is not the first time their "system" was unresponsive.

Well, I heard the story. He must have told it a dozen times, "You knew I was a snake when you took me in."

Your presence here would not exist without satellites because there would be no here here... and, newspapers would still be a thing.. so, not all bad.

Also, we have to concede the so-called Fourth branch has screwed the pooch as well. The mainstream news media, the only profession singled out for protection, "freedom of the press".

Fuck yeah, we're in one, but that's only because all three branches are corrupted by criminals and idiots. So, no biggie.

The obvious truth if push came to shove.. which it wouldn't have... is that America could land a whole shit-load of military planes and tell the Prince to load up all our people from his prison.. and that's what would have happened.
Trump's bullshit excuse is bullshit.

I've never been to either place, but I would think Puerto Rico and Dominica are culturally and geographically relatable to one another. I could be wrong.

2,000 is not enough. And, ultimately, that will be the problem with Donald's dream of dictatorship, he doesn't have enough soldiers... and never will.

Elon wasn't "appointed" boss, he worked his ass off and earned the position by doing what he contracted for and for doing what everyone said couldn't be done - landing and reusing an orbital rocket - AND - doing it at cost.
In politics, he's a total loony-toons.

Amazing heroes. Unimaginable how ordinary passengers managed this. But, so, now they have saved America for Donald Trump and JD Vance, and that dumbass preacher man.

Wow! Well, I don't believe her lying ass for one nano-second. Not that she didn't know what was in the bill, but that she wouldn't have voted for it if she knew what was in it.

Of course, of course. No surprise here. Trump's Secretary of the DOJ doesn't know what 'habeas corpus' means.

Wasn't that something? I'm trying to think of a Hollywood analogy but nothing comes to mind, except, if I'd seen that in a Hollywood film, I think, "Oh, come on man, get real. Seriously? We're supposed to buy this, 'Mission Impossible' plot?"

Yeah, the president didn't quite understand the research. He should avail himself of experts who can translate research studies into common language for lay persons. He needs an expert by his side, at all times, to explain things to him.. like, for instance, stealth jets are not invisible.

Not to worry, Texas has fixed the evil by mandating all grade-schools hang a copy of the "Ten Commandments" on a wall in every classroom. I'm pretty sure that'll do the trick.

Add 'cruelty' and I believe that pretty much describes the mission.

Donald sounds like he still believes he's taxing our trading partners.

The Vatican did not "officially" end the Inquisition until the 1960's. I think it was likely a bookkeeping oversight, but, still.

Universities are okay as long as they are "in sync" with Trump?
That's just silly.. and par for the course.

NASA is not being "privatized". Military contractors have become too inefficient to keep up with NASA's needs.
Without SpaceX, USA would be calling on China and Russia as the only means of flying humans to space. Plus, there are many new start-ups vying for contracts now.

Americans who know this and can see it, ultimately blame themselves for allowing the Constitution to be undermined to the degree it has been. The two primary enemies of the Constitution are the Church and the Corporation... essentially the same enemies we had at the very beginning of America.

First of all, who wrote this crap? Does Donald have a pen writer like he did with "Art of the Deal"? Is Ai now smoothing out Trump's inane rambling's? His latest posts have been cogently insane rather than ignorantly stupid name-calling and immature threats. What's up with that?

Well, considering the venue, I'd say a two-dollar steak was probably the highlight of the evening.

Mr. Conway, Trump has always been just as you see him now. His acuity is unchanged. He has just enough cells to keep breathing for the time being. He hasn't improved and he hasn't declined. Don't believe me? Ask Hannibal Lecter, he'll tell you.

Well, Hagsbreath was merely "inviting" anyone who cared to attend that they should RSVP because limited seating, and all. It wasn't like and "order" or anything. He failed to mention the libations being served after the ceremony. An, oversight, I'm sure.

As an unofficial account, it speaks for itself. And, Hunter Schafer is hot. Just a bit of eye-candy to break the monotony of America's dying breath.

Running against Bobo should be an easier lift for the Navy admiral in Colorado than the Air Force fighter pilot had running against Mitch in Kentucky. As an aside, I thought the fighter pilot was hot as hell, but, Kentucky voted for "Mitch the Bitch".

Another perfect phone call! How does the man do it! He's really unbelievable!
