His workplace is surely on another planet. The administrators at my job are disallowed from accepting gifts over $50 and the hourly staff like me aren’t allowed to accept any gifts. A vision of an airplane for the CEO would be vaped from a crackpipe.
As a former Federal employee I remember a training session or something in which we were instructed that we were not allowed to accept any gifts from the public. As I recall one of the examples we were given was if an old lady came into the office with a basket of homemade cupcakes for the staff we had to turn them down.
County employee here. Yeah, can’t do that. No gifts. Though contractors would come into the building department with a gift of a 12 pack of beer. That was 30 years ago though.
Was odd to see beer in the department refrigerator.
Trump promotes the white genocide in South Africa lie with pictures fron the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Republic of South Africa, Democratic Republic of Congo.
You say tomato, I say tomato. They are all just African countries.
I know that geography is tough, hell, we don’t even have a map for those Mexican countries, so can we cut Trump a break for not knowing one African country from another several thousand kilometers away from each other?
(Although, if he could be fooled into taking refugees from the DRC, albeit Black ones, that would be a great thing for a group of people who have been living in hellish dictatorships for generations.)
There’s only 2 countries there: South Africa and Africa. Those fake places like Morocco and Uganda and Gabon and so forth, those are just states within the nation of Africa.
I’m pretty sure Trump thinks Africa is just like a 1930s black and white Tarzan movie from coast to coast.
He’s met Musk at least so he probably thinks all the white people in Africa live in the southern half.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump thought he was meeting with the President of Africa.
Old white racist gonna continue to be racist.
Man, he does get a thrill out of inviting a foreign leader to his lair and then acting like a dickbag.
I’m so glad I don’t understand Republicans.
Unless that foreign leader is a dictator like Putin. After the camera cuts away for a few minutes and they then pan back in, there is what appears to be Cheetos dust around Putin’s pants fly. Odd.
“Sinister Trump dims the lights for another White House ambush”
If I’m a foreign head of state invited to the Oval Office in the next 3.5 years, I’m sending my most hated political enemy as a “special envoy.”
I’m cross-posting this one.
Let’s see if there’s any pushback from the Pubs on this one.
I’m curious about the global pushback. Do you know how many rich and powerful people from around the world send their kids to Harvard? If there’s one thing that’ll unite the world’s billionaires and oligarchs against Trump, it’s this.
It will be ok if you’re rich. Just like everything else.
Can’t they just send their kids to Oxford and Cambridge?
The “big beautiful bill” will…
Terminate Direct File, the IRS’ free, online tax filing platform that’s been running for the past two years.
but… they have a plan…
replacing the current IRS Direct File system with “a better public-private partnership between the IRS and private-sector tax preparation services
I’m sure those for-profit companies will do this for free out of the goodness of their hearts, right?
It will be ready in 2 weeks.
