You’re probably right. These things are so outrageous, it’s futile to try to guess what the next scandal will be. Though it will either boost his ego or fill his pockets. Whatever it is it will make all of us poorer. ---

> [@LSLGuy](#): > > What’s going on (IMO) is they hope everyone will forget the slush fund after the next big distraction, then the money will quietly disappear into one of trump’s many pockets. This seems like a misunderstanding of what the “slush fund” was. The DOJ has something called a “judgment fund”, which is a perpetual appropriation that lets the DOJ settle and pay legal cases. The “Anti-Weaponization Fund” was set up to draw on that appropriation. It was just a poorly-crafted excuse to steal money that was already allocated to the DOJ. Using the judgment fund was a way to let the Trump administration grab money without Congress giving approval, because again, it was money already provided to the DOJ and therefore under control of the Executive. The slush fund wasn’t gathering any money that wasn’t already there; it was just a fig leaf to reallocate the money already under DOJ control. If they were going to quietly take money away, they wouldn’t have bothered with this circus to begin with. The fact that they did all of this demonstrates that there was no way to do it quietly, so no, that’s not going to happen. ---

I see where Google wants to release up to 64 million mosquitoes in California and Florida. It’s a test with sterile males. I wonder if a release of a few million female mosquitoes at the UFC fights on the White House lawn (what little is left of it) at the FREEDUMB 250 fiasco June 14th is possible? Bad for the dragooned troops but a few dozen bites on the indignitaries sure to be present would be worth it to see all the slapping, flailing, and itching. ---

Trump is now saying that his UFC Octagon on the South Lawn might “never, ever go away” > “We’re building something in front of the White House that’s quite attractive to a lot of people,” he said. “It’s gonna have the big UFC fight on June 14th, and I’m looking at it and maybe we’ll never, ever take it down.” Is he saying this just to mess with the heads of his opponents and those who accuse him of having crass tastes? Or is this legitimately the way he feels? You decide. > **[Trump Now Says This Bizarre White House Addition Might 'Never Ever' Go Away](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-white-house-ufc-cage_n_6a1fc27be4b032392fa73969?origin=home-latest-news-unit)** > > The president said this could become a permanent addition to the White House grounds. ---

Apparntly Trump published three pictures just before midnight – a rear-view of him on a podium, labeled “The Greatest Attraction”, a picture of him with Whitney Houston (apparently trying to show that he was, at one time, capabe of hob-nobbing with Clas-A talent), and a icture suggesting he could be James Bond.

> [@pjd](#): > > Good plan. How about some tsetse flies as well for good measure. [Black flies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_fly#Public_health) > Bites are shallow and accomplished by first stretching the skin using teeth on the labrum and then abrading it with the [maxillae](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxilla_(arthropod_mouthpart)) and [mandibles](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandible_(insect_mouthpart)), cutting the skin and rupturing its fine capillaries. Feeding is facilitated by a powerful [anticoagulant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticoagulant) in the flies’ [saliva](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saliva), which also partially numbs the site of the bite, reducing the host’s awareness of being bitten and thereby extending the flies’ feeding time. Biting flies feed during daylight hours only and tend to zero in on areas of thinner skin, such as the nape of the neck or ears and ankles. > > [Itching](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itching) and localized swelling and inflammation sometimes result from a bite. Swelling can be quite pronounced depending on the species and the individual’s immune response, and irritation may persist for weeks. Intense feeding can cause “black fly fever”, with headache, nausea, fever, swollen lymph nodes, and aching joints; these symptoms are probably a reaction to a compound from the flies’ [salivary glands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salivary_glands). Less common severe allergic reactions may require hospitalization.[[13]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_fly#cite_note-Mullen2009-13)[[14]](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_fly#cite_note-Service2008-14) ---
