Diaper Don has fired the Librarian of Congress. If you guessed black, a woman, and promoter of diversity in collected works - you’ve passed and are moving on to the next round.
From Axios - phone is garbling links again but it’s easy to find.
Ninjed in the clusterfuck thread.
But what about the ice cream? He’s going to say the children can only have one scoop, isn’t he?
He already admitted on national television he is not the most powerful person on Earth. That honor, obviously, goes to Nayib Armando Bukele Ortez.
You’re very welcome. I copped out, though. I was trying to come up with a personal title for him to match my name for the current administration: the Second Felonial Era. Alas, my mind has been so boggled by this ongoing nightmare, I just gave up on it.
I guess he thinks they’re doing that better than he does and he’s jealous.
That fits right in with his statement that the United States never claimed credit for ending WWII. Of course we did. It wasn’t “some foreigner” (as he would likely call him) who was the supreme commander of the allied powers in Europe. Also, there was a very popular song during World War Two which, no surprise, was written for our entry into World War One. Hey, in that song, we were even claiming credit for winning the war before we even got over there!
Not Pope Guilty the First. It would have to be Pope Guilty One. It’s better if you individualize the title.
I was commenting more on the ignorance of Trump and/or his minions using a picture depicting the Marines in a battle against the Japanese in the Pacific Theater to commemorate the end of WWII in Europe.
Sigh. In keeping with the theme. OVW has released a “revised” funding opportunity for transitional housing, and it’s… different. The priority areas are rural (okay) and human trafficking with an emphasis on illegal immigration and criminal cartels.
Out of scope activities include “violating federal immigration law” which I presume to mean serving undocumented immigrants, “gender ideology” which I presume to mean serving trans women and “any activities that frame domestic violence or sexual assault as a systemic rather than criminal issue.”
To add to the fun, I just reviewed Trump’s proposed budget cuts and they intend to eliminate CDBG so there’s another $100k gone from our budget.
I’m getting to the point where I want to say to my committee: We cannot trust government funding at all right now. It may leave us worse off than where we started to pursue these opportunities. It’s time to start making staff cuts.
OK, this video has me furious. The (fargin’) ICE-holes in the kerfuffle all have their faces covered. This in ShitGibbon’s anti-masking administration. LEOs should never ever be masked in the performance of their “duties” (or, while “just following orders”). You cannot see pointy hats, but they would be wearing them if’n they were half-honest.
I found it interesting to begin that, at least the BBC does not fully capitalise MAGA. I do not recall even here on the Dope anyone doing so. I suppose that notion and idea will be accepted and embraced by the Maggots.
In 65 years (and many more but Joseph Kennedy Sr. had a lot of money) America has gone from some fear that the President will do the Pope’s bidding to “This pope - despite being American - will not speak for us red-capped Maggots.”
I’ve no idea what people in 1960 whispered or worried about with a Catholic president running. The Pope wasn’t saying “Communism in all forms is bad, especially Vietnam” or “Castro must be assassinated” any more than “Go to the Moon”.
Even were he to speak about peace between Pakistan -v- India or his rival in religion (Only ONE can be right) the Dalai Lama, neither of which I expect he’ll do in specific terms, it’s not his papal job to possibly assuage the Maggots and he doesn’t need any more votes (nor does the Dalai Lama) than he’s got. Be a good Pope, a good guy and I know more than just Catholics listen to him and heed his words. So be wise.
In Catholicism specifically (and I’m pretty sure the Pope is supposed to be Catholic), one of the three theological virtues is “charity”, which is the opposite of “me first”.
