Every day, there are a few candidates to add to this compendium of horrors thread. The one I’m picking today may seem not quite a full horror, but for the likely innocent contractor who Dictator Don is charging a penalty and barring from bidding on future contracts (almost surely in violation of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), it is a horror.
Random thought I had while looking at @DavidNRockies pictures. He’s remaking the white house to look more like Mar-a-Lago. I wonder if he’s charging people to sit on “his” patio.
So, my country is responding to alleged criminal activity involving two countries, neither one the United States, with an act of war. That definitely belongs in this thread.
Re my last post, the Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, where the alleged drug criminals were supposedly headed, is Trump-friendly and disagrees with my categorization of today’s attack as a horror:
If this next middle of the road sounding article is fair, it is in the Trinidad and Tobago national interest for PM Kamla Persad-Bissessar to suck up to Trump:
Nah, they’ll all be declared collateral damage anyway. Death is the verdict that the United States military imposes for whatever crime it seems necessary.
Let me guess, probably a trillion billion doses of probably Fentanyl that we probably can’t prove because probably the ship is on the probably bottom of Caribbean.
I invite you to read the opening clause in that subhead over, oh… 10 to 100 times. And ponder it.
“As Democratic cities brace for possible military deployments…”
These would be deployments of American troops in American cities against Americans.
“Braced,” meaning the cities don’t want these troops.
What the ever-loving fuck.
From the link:
Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois, a Democrat, responded defiantly Tuesday afternoon.
“When did we become a country where it’s OK for the U.S. president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything, especially something we don’t want?” he asked reporters in Chicago. “Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?”
Is there, anywhere, a list of the horrors of Trump and his minions? You know, one that is added to daily (or more often). Things like firing the heads of the CDC or CFPB, or the Bureau of Labor and Statistics or FBI agents and DOJ attorneys that worked on the January 6 shit show etc. I know the list would be very long but there ought to be one.
Check out “What the fuck just happened today” for a website that keeps track of the daily horrors. One guy started it during T’s first maladministration and it’s been chugging along ever since.
ETA: Holy fuck. I was glancing down through today’s entries and came across this:
6/ The Trump administration is weighing a plan that would give Palestinians a digital land “token” in exchange for their property so Gaza can be redeveloped into luxury resorts and “AI-powered” cities. The 38-page proposal calls for the “voluntary” removal of Gaza’s 2 million residents, offering $5,000, rent and food subsidies to those who leave. The plan projects a fourfold return on $100 billion in investment funding and would place Gaza under U.S. control for at least a decade. (Washington Post)
This is why I usually post administration atrocities in this thread. I think this thread gets more exposure to the overall Board. I’m guessing many people do not look in the Pit.
