Well… the business I work for actually gave every employee a raise. Several times. So it didn’t go entirely to corporate profits in that case. I’m financially better off than before covid.
While that’s great for me I fully acknowledge that it might not be great for everyone else.
Yes it’s always important to point out that one exception.
(BBC Panorama): “We’re going to walk down to the Capitol and I’ll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell.”
He said those words, yet not in that order. So it’s billions he wants in compensation, which he will not get a pound of.
He had previously had Lafayette Square (or the Oval?) cleared with tear gas and marching with an entourage including Esper, the Sec of Defense, and General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both of whom later “regretted” doing so.
Yet what if he did march (or ride the beast in the lead) to the Capitol on January 6th? Or whenever it was clear he was done for. With more Generals and more armed soldiers?
His phantom cabinet now knows how far they can mess with the National Guard and even the Military itself on USA territory. Boundaries that Felon 45 did not know of.
Yes, it’s astonishing what Republicans allow for Trump. And we haven’t seen the heights of it yet.
Don’t you mean depths?
I was thinking “bowels” might be more appropriate.
That’s a much better way of saying it.
I wonder what words I could put in your mouth if I looked through your posts and found words you’d typed but not in that order? I don’t think that is an appropriate test.
The BBC fucked up badly. Sure, I suspect their frankenquote was representative of what Trump was subtely trying to say/not say. But if you read the whole transcript, the BBC did make what he said sound a lot more heinous, and they have stupidly given Trump a club to bash them over the head with. A stupid, stupid own goal.
There’s nothing else I could post today to rival this nonsense.
It does raise one question, though. I wonder how many of these (imaginary) cattle he’s talking about come from Argentina.
I guess we should be very thankful that he’s Treasury Secretary rather than Secretary of Agriculture, or Secretary of Health and Human Services for that matter.
I wonder what the losses to the herd occur in the Darién Gap
Although, supposedly, Argentine beef is amongst the best in the world. Possibly not in hamberder style, though. I like medium rare steak, much more than minced, overdone and served on a bread roll with gerkins and american cheese.
Maybe the Secretary of Agriculture would know there is no disease called the screw worm but there is an insect Calliphoridae, known as blowflies and commonly referred to as the New World screwworm.
But I shudder to think what the Secretary of Health and Human Services would do with the flesh eating larva. ‘My brain worms need friends!’
Oh, I’m not so sure about that. He, just like the rest of the felon’s fools, is a worm. And we’re all screwed.
I, for one, am not thankful he has any position of influence in this administration, this country, this solar system.
There wasn’t anything subtle about it. The BBC frankenquote was fine. It was exactly what Trump meant. I hope they tell him he will not get a pound, but he can go pound sand.
Many of the National Guard troops who had been deployed to Chicago and Portland are being recalled and sent back home.
Mission accomplished, evidently?
I was wondering how much taxpayer money has been spent feeding and housing these folks, not to mention their ‘active duty’ pay during the deployment.
Who’s paying for them, anyway? The federal government or their home states?
Former Secretary of Transportation has a thing or two to say to trump:
I’ve stolen this from Reddit.
This is Resident Trump, walking past the flag at The White House which has fallen down.
One of the commenters said, better than I could, that “I wouldn’t be surprised if this is one of the photos that ends up in the history books.”
Perfect symbolism.
