The dim of wit?
Well, until President Pritzker convenes the tribunals a few years from now, anyway.
Oh, you mean it does not really end badly for the toadie, but only for the subordinates? You may have a point there.
Still President Ineptstein does not get what he wants. Apart from the fake adulation and the ass kissing and the brown-nosing, yes, that he gets.
They don’t think it will happen to them, if they did they wouldn’t do the things they do.
I hope they are wrong, for all our sakes.
Well, it may very well end up badly for him too, but he will not believe it will happen until the wheels of the bus are flattening him against the pavement. These are not brilliant people precisely.
Yeah. One of the most puzzling things for me has how there’s just this endless line of people who seem to think they are the special ones who won’t be thrown under the bus. Nobody seems to learn; there’s just this endless flow of scumball-lemmings.
I think part of it for all of them is how badly they want to be in the history books. Look at Kevin McCarthy. All he ever wanted was to be Speaker of the House. Once he achieved that, he quit politics. Because it was never about service, just personal glory. If they have to be humiliated in the process, so be it.
Trump is ballroomposting again. This time his AI render appears to have some sort of ziggurat in the background.
Nah, he’s been pretty obsessed with her foe awhile. He’s talked about her “low IQ” plenty.
It was pushback against Kegsbreath. The general refused to pull back the promotion nominations of two black and two female officers to one star general.
In this particular case I don’t think it’s about having a spine or morals it’s about competence. Trump will eventually find a general who doesn’t realize they don’t have the ablity to lead an invasion and he’ll say yes. It might be a matter of hubris on their part rather than a lack of spine or morals. I think most competent generals don’t want to be seen as the next Westmoreland, Gates, or McClellan.
Get me Michael Flynn!
Or they could try for Quintus Servilius Caepio (according to Britannica). He sounds like a pretty typical Republican general: (bolding mine)
Caepio rashly attacked the Cimbri army on October 6, 105 BCE. The Cimbri destroyed Caepio’s force and, emboldened by their success, marched on Maximus’s camp. Maximus managed to form up his men but to no avail. The Romans lost an estimated 80,000 infantry and perhaps 40,000 auxiliaries and cavalry. Although he managed to escape the battle unharmed, Caepio was stripped of his Roman citizenship and exiled). Caepio reportedly lived out the remainder of his life in luxury, however. Some 15,000 talents of gold (the so-called Gold of Tolosa) had vanished under his watch,
I just hope the idiot-in-chief is not thinking of this:
Oh. Jesus. That’s a pretty good approximation of how his lurching mind drivel works. You may – scarily – be onto something.
So Bondi’s out? My guess is he wanted to demote her to attorney colonel or even attorney private. Then I remembered he’s already turned the entire Department of Justice into the latter.
Ah, so this is how the felon plans on stopping federal tax increases.
Leave it to the states! What a genius move! The stablest! The geniusest!
Read the article for the full list. Then try to find The Day After for some real “feel good” viewing.
[Gomer Pyle voice]Surprise! Surprise! Surprise![/GPv] The convicted felon’s very own DoJ (aka attorney private (see above)) says he gets to keep all of his presidential records.
Holy delusions of grandeur, Batman! He really does think he’s deity.
Ugh. I see Brandon Marcus of AOL.com is using ChatGPT to write his articles for him. Those two sentences just between them contain all three of the earmarks of AI-generated writing - an emdash, comparison by negation (“it’s not X, it’s Y” / “it isn’t just X, it’s Y”), and a list of three.
We live in the dumbest timeline.
Who can challenge this disturbing claim about the Presidential Records Act? Congress? We can’t let this criminal shit be covered up forever.
Off topic aside (but after all, this is the Pit, land of asides…)
That’s the lightbulb that just appeared over my head
I watch a LOT of YouTube videos on many different topics-- history, food/cooking, biographies, travel, music, writing, decorating, you name it-- and this particular construction comes up over and over again! The close cousin is “it’s not about this–it’s about that.”
I haven’t noticed (but I will now!) whether it’s mostly in videos that are narrated by an AI voice. These are easy to pick out after they speak for a while because they mispronounce words, especially names, by saying them phonetically instead of the way they would be said by an intelligent native-speaking human. And they pause inappropriately in the middle of phrases.
I like to learn new stuff and if the source is AI, so be it, if the information is correct. It’s a new world, and goodness knows I use AI. Just used ChatGPT this morning to
help me sort through all the brands of panty liners on the market to find a brand that’s made of cotton and won’t irritate my skin. GPT’s ability to search and sort information is definitely superior to mine.

Carry on.
Maybe he’s workshopping a new insulting nickname? Jasmine “Davy” Crockett? Implies she’s both transgender and white, which he thinks she’ll take as an insult?
