YES! You win!

sbpoet.bsky.social•24 days ago

No. You told us where/how to go next.

Bwahahahahahaha

Signed, the Executive Office of Llama Wrangling

Before you celebrate, check to see whether after consulting legal counsel, if they turned state level reimbursal submission back on for WIC, LiHeap, etc, and if not, please support your local food pantries, warming centers, and shelters.

gojohnego.bsky.social•24 days ago

Without the ability to get paid, evictions will lurch forward, SNAP cards will stop working, etc.

My sister was bitten by a moose

jennieother1.bsky.social•23 days ago

Something, something, llamas.

sultanofbowie.bsky.social•24 days ago

Bring on the llamas

sappheyer.bsky.social•24 days ago

This entire month has felt like a dark timeline version of a Monty Python sketch

disastrogirl.bsky.social•24 days ago

I want to skip straight to the llamas.

darthbecca.bsky.social•24 days ago

Wow. Our government is…so together and organized and makes so much sense. 😳🤨😂😂😂😂😂 Guess they more than a few phone calls.

stevebuchheit.bsky.social•24 days ago

If only

wwalkersd.bsky.social•24 days ago

Doesn't matter. It's llamas all the way down.

proxx23.bsky.social•24 days ago

Perfection.

jshugarte83.bsky.social•24 days ago

The remaining policies of OMB will be written in an entirely different style at great expense and at the last minute by 142 Mexican Whooping Llamas.

justingwallace.bsky.social•24 days ago

Still waiting for my governmental Wonder Llama.

jvranas.bsky.social•24 days ago

I knew it; we are on a Monty Python timeline.

xanderkale.bsky.social•24 days ago

Please try to enjoy each OMB memorandum equally.

I'm so glad you're on Bluesky.

zimm1919.bsky.social•24 days ago

Python?

billiecat.bsky.social•24 days ago

Honestly, if the OMB is run for the next four years by 40 specially trained Ecuadorian Mountain Llamas, it would be an upgrade.

usmansmith.bsky.social•24 days ago

Musk & Trump.
Double negatives?

b0bsmith.bsky.social•24 days ago

Lemon curry?

patclatter.bsky.social•24 days ago

Just the memo?

billbollow.bsky.social•24 days ago

Amazing reference

jamesjdominguez.bsky.social•24 days ago

Mind you, moose bites can be pretty nasty.

nobodobodon.bsky.social•24 days ago

Rescission is a lovely word. I shall make an effort to work that into conversation soon.

tiggrum.bsky.social•24 days ago

darthfos.bsky.social•24 days ago

They didn’t have a 27B-6 so will have to try again later.

mikekiser.bsky.social•24 days ago

Those kan be pretti nasti.

tinfoilraccoon.bsky.social•24 days ago

And now we wait for the rescinding of the rescinding memo.

jconkz22.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm not quite dead yet.

alexmdunne.me•24 days ago

Ace #MontyPython callback. Have you got that as a keyboard macro?

scalzi.com•24 days ago

Nah, I just kept in my brain, like nearly every other thing they ever did

cjgenx.bsky.social•24 days ago

*neet*

alexmdunne.me•24 days ago

I'd reply faster t'were it not for this flesh wound...

markllama.bsky.social•24 days ago

The Peruvian Llamas will be a step up. I can't wait

"A moose once bit my sister."

bluemeuninck.bsky.social•24 days ago

Well, I guess it’s in the bag then.

nonamoss.bsky.social•24 days ago

Maybe the funniest opening film credits ever ❤️

jessk14.bsky.social•24 days ago

"unfortunately, those who sacked those responsible for the sacking, have also been sacked" 😞🙄🦙

You beat me to it.

Monty Python, always on point.

coreyfrazer.bsky.social•23 days ago

First time I watched Holy Grail I was unaware that "sacked" was British slang for "fired" so I had a mental image of everyone kicking each other in the nuts.

brainslugs83.bsky.social•24 days ago

No... their big fat orange ass is still there unfortunately...

swat20.bsky.social•24 days ago

Now this is the amount of pure stupidity and chaos I expect from a trump government, where dear leader wakes up with new stupid ideas every morning.

glittergeezer.bsky.social•24 days ago

: “never mind”

edthecatalyst.bsky.social•23 days ago

If only someone in charge of all that could be bitten by a møøse.

immunoprof.bsky.social•24 days ago

Dammit. Now I have to watch that movie.

karenbabine.bsky.social•24 days ago

Oh, well played

kuvitella.bsky.social•24 days ago

Karen, I know you’re close to Amanda (erudite elf). Is she ok? Worrying about her well-being.
(sorry I’m asking in public)

karenbabine.bsky.social•24 days ago

She’s great!

kuvitella.bsky.social•23 days ago

So good to know, thank you!

"We've rescinded the memo. We haven't rescinded what we're doing, though."

evil-tendencies.bsky.social•24 days ago

Every day since the 20th has felt like one long Monty Python sketch.

badideahat.bsky.social•24 days ago

Whoaaa, when did Kafka write for the Pythons?

evil-tendencies.bsky.social•24 days ago

😆

tomdoty63.bsky.social•24 days ago

Classic Holy Grail . Well played my friend .

russell60.bsky.social•24 days ago

We apologize for the previous apology. This was made in error, and will not be repeated.

major-roadie.bsky.social•24 days ago

😭😭😭

jwbfat16.bsky.social•24 days ago

Right, next up : the first steps in going from a few thousand Schedule F US federal politically-appointable employees to something like 50-100k : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=krcTQE46bPk

jwbfat16.bsky.social•24 days ago

Now what, "The Wonder LLamas"?

disgruntledpeony.bsky.social•24 days ago

OH, GOOD.

violaleanne.bsky.social•24 days ago

Bring on Ralph the Wonder Llama.

capfilmproducer.bsky.social•24 days ago

Monty Python! Well done.

chronosws.bsky.social•24 days ago

Is there any chance we can get a Ministry of Silly Walks out of all of this? https://youtu.be/iV2ViNJFZC8?si=pKb860JBvX0phtei

bill1950.bsky.social•24 days ago

So they're not going to court Monday? He lost?

uykhvasdrvtjyku.bsky.social•24 days ago

I'm starting to think that this iteration of the Trump administration, contrary to what we have been told, is not any more organized or competent than the last one or for that matter than a pack of rabid weasels.

niki-f.bsky.social•24 days ago

Rabid weasels can still cause a lot of damage though. 🫤

brainslugs83.bsky.social•24 days ago

Incompetent doesn't mean not dangerous.

The other problem is they are playing a numbers game. Distract us with the firehouse while a few things slip through here and there, to the point where no one even notices the regular everyday criminality going on...

rinkuraku.bsky.social•24 days ago

They aren't, but they're crueler and solidly alt-right.

portableprisco.bsky.social•24 days ago

I read that more as “I’ll get you next time, Gadget. Next time!!!”

philipdeevy.bsky.social•24 days ago

I see what you did there.

*Hat-tip*

tanalam.bsky.social•24 days ago

The infighting is going to be good 👍

celljeffe.bsky.social•24 days ago

40 Specially Trained Ecuadoran Mountain Llamas
