TIL that Nancy Mace went to the Citadel.
That brought back fond memories from a few decades ago of my right wing friends, who wanted to crucify advocates of allowing women into the Citadel.
To paraphrase the line from "Love Story ":
Conservative means never having to say you remember anything.
The wheels on the bus go TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP.
Yes, and her book about it is worth reading: Amazon.com: In the Company of Men: A Woman at the Citadel: 9780689840036: Mace, Nancy, Ross, Mary Jane: Books
Good on ya, Maria!
People: Maria Shriver Calls Judge’s Decision to Reverse the Trump-Kennedy Center Rebrand a ‘Great Birthday Gift’ to Her Uncle JFK
I don’t know if this counts as proper schadenfreude, but might as well put this here as anywhere:
A bunch of Canadian teens have created a boardgame called “American Dictator”. It looks fun, if a little too on the nose.
Ships to you in a pizza box. Spray tan not included.
Pizza? S/B a Happy Meal. 
…or a KFC bucket.
The problem is finding a container that a board would fit into.
Me, I’d see if I could get it to fit into a box shaped like a toilet seat (and colored gold).
Well, maybe once you open the container you find that there is no board included; it’s a separate purchase. You’ve already started playing the trump grifting game, and you’re already losing!
You have to send in a $200 check with a form you fill out, and it will arrive in “two weeks”. Pending the approval of a Trump-appointed board.
You need more asterisks, like:
You have to send in a $200 check with a form you fill out, and it will arrive* in “two weeks”**. Pending the approval of a Trump-appointed board***.
* Or you may have to retrieve it from an approved Trump Distribution Center****
** Or other suitable***** period.
*** Approval may take 1 year to heath death of the universe
**** TDC may be in another state, country, continent or in the nearest garbage dump.
***** Suitable for us, not for you.
This essay is a thing of beauty. Poor Pam.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?
Which form has a box* you need to tick in order to opt out of having $200 a week withdrawn from the account on the check.
* In one half point sans serif
I recall seeing somewhere (could have been the Legal AF YouTube channel) that Trump is giving her one of those Noem-like positions, figuring that her still technically “working” for the government might spare her from this.
I don’t know how that work, or if it’s even true. No cite, unfortunately.
Here’s one.
Bondi will serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), joining several business and technology leaders, a White House official confirmed. It comes as Bondi recovers from treatment for thyroid cancer, Axios first reported.
Before you ask what makes her qualified for a “science and technology” panel, she wasn’t qualified for her last job either.
Well, more qualified for that one than this, anyway.
Florida’s Alligator Alcatraz is an obscenely expensive boondoggle that Rick DeSantis will never get federal reimbursement for.
A conservative estimate of how much it costs to hold a single immigrant at Alligator Alcatraz for a year is about $500,000. By comparison, Florida spends $30,000 a year to house a convicted criminal in a state prison.
A local, previously obscure, portable-toilet firm named Doodie Calls transports about 45,000 gallons of wastewater from the facility every day. According to documents released through a public-records lawsuit, Florida paid Doodie Calls more than $92 million for a six-month period of Alligator Alcatraz’s operation. The state projected that Doodie Calls would be paid $480 million for about two years of work. By comparison, the construction of a sewage-treatment plant for a city of 10,000 people costs about $5 million.
Republicans are well known for demonstrating fiscal responsibility!
Ha ha ha ha
But not so good with fecal responsibility.
