🇵🇱🤝🇺🇦 "Poland bought Starlinks, which it gave to Ukraine. We pay and will continue to pay a subscription fee for satellite internet for Ukraine. I cannot imagine that someone could decide to terminate a business contract for a commercial service, to which Poland is a party."

So far, the highlight of the second Trump term has been little X wiping boogers on the Resolute Desk.

Firing the JAG commanders has more to do prosecuting Milley and other generals Trump didn't or doesn't like.

The Army works on a command system. As you get promoted, you get bigger commands. Hegseth was a major but his biggest command was platoon leader, a position usually held by a lieutenant, two ranks lower. The Army didn't know what to do with him. He went to Princeton! But he's a terrible soldier!!

You can read this whole article by @nytimes.com and somehow the critical bit of information, that Caine is not formally qualified to do the job and needs a waiver, is ‘missing’ That’s not journalism, that’s sycophancy, presumably with a hope to get back into the Pentagon office space again.

The only thing Musk is good at is extracting money from the government. And you bet that this money isn't going to the DOGE-boys.

Does anybody know when the federal government is going to run out of money? A couple of months ago it was expected to be mid-March. But the people at Treasury who monitor the situation have all quit or been fired. Also, the DOGE-boys may have damaged the systems so no one can tell.

Hey, Amazon, I've got a great idea for a Bond eight-part series set in the early Sixties.

President Fruitcake thinks Ukraine should repay aid it received. While we're at it, should Israel repay all the aid it has received over the years? And should our NATO allies charge for what they spent fighting alongside us in Iraq and Afghanistan?

After WW2 there was the myth of the Good Nazi (Albert Speer, for example). One day, there will be the myth of the Good Republican.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

Still hard to believe we voted for fascism with unemployment at 4.2%, the strongest performing economy in the rich world, & inflation, at 2.4% PCE in Nov 2024, closer to target than 85% of the months since we established it in 2012: bsky.app/profile/mcop.... Verily, a marvel of political economy.
