New way to make money if you’re a MAGA, sue the government and if your right wing enough the DOJ will fork over the cash regardless of the strength of your case.
The DOJ settled a law suit brought by pro-life activist, who was arrested for assaulting and injuring a 72 year-old escort. He claims that a swat team of 35 agents with big guns showed up at his house with big guns, but the FBI says no swat team was sent and that the perp exited the house and was arrested without incendent. His case was going nowhere until now when the DOJ settled for over a million dollars.
meanwhile I doubt that this person will even get enough to fix her door.
I was aware that the US can deal out some summary justice, but wasn’t aware that literally torching a perp was an option for LIOs.
Just by dismantling USAID alone, over 760,000. Then you’ve got the Iranian civilians, the blown-up boats, and… I give up.

It is called a phonemic paraphasia .
Specific examples involving Trump date back to at least 2024 (although it would not surprise me if earlier examples were abundant):
As the 2024 U.S. presidential campaigns heat up, both camps are watching closely for gaffes from the two presidential frontrunners, in an effort to discredit the other over age and psychological capacity, but complaints about Joe Biden have been more...
Is the the thread where we share our disbelief about his crazy Jesus pictures? He’s done it again. Doubling down was always his favourite tactic:

I like how the AI “artist” gave him cheekbones, whereas in reality, no one has seen his in decades.
I was getting more of a homoerotic vibe but yours works too.

I wish he had a constipation (of the mouth) problem. That woudl negate at least 90% of the issues he causes.
The felon’s flacks tried an extrajudicial stunt at the Fed.
Prosecutors from the U.S. attorneys office in Washington were turned away Tuesday after they made an unannounced visit to the Federal Reserve, where they allegedly requested a tour of renovations that have attracted scrutiny from the Trump administration , sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News.
The unusual visit prompted immediate backlash from an attorney for Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who wrote a letter to D.C. U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro’s office, citing the recent ruling from a federal judge that blocked subpoenas to the bank after determining DOJ’s criminal probe was driven by President Donald Trump’s political animus towards Powell.
Robert Hur, who formerly served as special counsel who investigated former President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents and now represents Powell, warned DOJ in the letter reviewed by ABC News that future efforts to initiate contact with Fed representatives should be negotiated through legal counsel.
“As you know, Chief Judge [James] Boasberg has concluded that your interest in the Federal Reserve’s renovation project was pretextual. Should you wish to challenge that finding, the courts provide an avenue for you; it is not appropriate for you to try to circumvent it,” Hur said. “I ask that you commit not to seek to communicate with my client outside the presence of counsel.”
I guess Rip van Simple is afraid the Fed will build a ballroom.
Killer Kennedy on top of another disaster.
Rotavirus, a seasonal virus similar to influenza, has been rising across the U.S. since January. With infection rates higher now than this time last year, doctors have fresh concerns that declining vaccinations could lead to more severe illness and a higher surge in the coming years.
The virus — which is spread by hands touching an infected surface, then touching the mouth — used to be a major cause of severe illness among babies and young children in the U.S., responsible for more than 200,000 emergency room visits, up to 70,000 hospitalizations and dozens of deaths each year, according to the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases . That drastically changed after the first oral vaccine was approved 20 years ago.

Democratic representatives just signaled a trial balloon for the secretary of war crimes.
Washington — House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, making serious allegations about his handling of the war in Iran and his leadership more broadly.
The resolution , led by Rep. Yassamin Ansari of Arizona, lists six impeachment articles:
Unauthorized war against Iran and reckless endangerment of U.S. service members; Violations of the law of armed conflict and targeting of civilians; Negligence and reckless handling of sensitive military information; Obstruction of congressional oversight; Abuse of power and politicization of the armed forces;Conduct bringing disrepute upon the U.S. and its armed forces.
The impeachment push almost certainly won’t go anywhere in the House this year, since Republicans have a narrow majority. But its Democratic sponsors could renew their efforts if the party takes control of the chamber following the midterm elections.
The seven-page impeachment resolution claims Hegseth engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors, the constitutional basis for impeachment. It says he has “demonstrated a willful disregard for the Constitution, abused the powers of his office, and acted in a manner grossly incompatible with the rule of law.”
&
The resolution also accuses Hegseth of failing to prevent the use of military force “in a manner inconsistent with the law of armed conflict,” pointing to civilian casualties, including the Feb. 28 bombing of a girls’ school in Iran that killed 168 people.
Guess who’s abusing H-2B visas.
Donald Trump changed course on a key policy of his administration after being influenced by business pals at one of his Florida golf clubs.
Trump, 79, met with Mar-a-Lago staffers Bernd Lembcke and Peter Petrina in January, according to a new report in The Wall Street Journal . The men on Trump’s payroll told the president that the hospitality industry needed to hire more seasonal workers ahead of peak tourism periods in winter and spring.
On the final day of last year, the government signaled it would release only 35,000 additional H-2B visas for 2026, which was nearly half the number made available over the previous three years.
The H-2B visa allows U.S. employers to hire foreign workers for temporary jobs, usually in areas such as hospitality, construction or tourism.
Two weeks after that meeting in January, Trump’s administration changed direction and released the maximum number of additional H-2B visas, which is 64,716.
Trump has used the H-2B visa program to hire roles such as cooks, housekeepers and waiters at his properties, including his private resort Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
Speaking of homoerotic vibe…
President Donald Trump has fantasized about getting a “big, fat, hug” from China’s leader for opening up the Strait of Hormuz.
In a bizarre Truth Social post on Wednesday morning, the president said he will “permanently open” the waterway, which connects oil tankers to markets around the world. China is Iran’s biggest oil customer.
“China is very happy,” according to Trump. He said his decision to unblock the Strait was done “for China.”
But here’s the meat of the matter.
“This situation will never happen again. They have agreed not to send weapons to Iran. President Xi will give me a big, fat, hug when I get there in a few weeks. We are working together smartly, and very well! Doesn’t that beat fighting???” he said.
It’s a miracle! With just a wave of the hand, the felon’s sacrilege just disappears.
Rev. Franklin Graham, the son of the late Billy Graham and a leading evangelical figure close to Donald Trump’s administration, doesn’t believe the president “knowingly” depicted himself as a Christ-like figure in a now-deleted AI-generated image.
In a post on his Truth Social account on Sunday, Trump depicted himself in a white robe and red sash with a glowing outstretched hand placed on the forehead of a man in a hospital bed. The president later said it showed “me as a doctor.”
In a statement shared with The Independent , Graham condemned what he called “ill-intended speculation” about the president’s image, standing in stark contrast to backlash from other faith leaders — including conservative evangelicals — who accused him of grotesque blasphemy and making a mockery of holy symbols to serve a political agenda.
“When I looked at the illustration, I didn’t jump to the same conclusion as some,” Graham said.
“There were no spiritual references — no halo, there were no crosses, no angels,” he added. “I think this is a lot to do about nothing. There is so much ill-intended speculation. I think his enemies are always foaming at the mouth at any possible opportunity to make him look bad.”
And my denomination is called a cult. Wow.
My head’s starting to hurt. Now the felon starting wars is claiming he’s the only person holding the world together.
President Donald Trump claimed he is the sole force preventing the world from falling apart — just days after he faced backlash for posting an image portraying himself as Jesus .
“If I weren’t president, the world would be torn to pieces,” the 79-year-old Republican leader told ABC News ’ Jonathan Karl.
This is the world what’s left of Rip van Simple’s so-called mind lives in.
President Donald Trump made a series of head-scratching claims during a wide-ranging interview with Fox Business that aired early Wednesday.
At one point, the 79-year-old president claimed GOP Sen. Thom Tillis was no longer a senator, when he remains in office until January.
At another point, he suggested Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died right after he entered office, not in the final year of his first term.
And my personal favorite.
At another point in the interview, while discussing Artemis II, the president took credit for the program and falsely claimed, “NASA was closed. It was totally closed.”

It was a callback to an earlier joke. But yeah, either way he’s getting a…special feeling from this encounter

I’m guessing they can find all the workers they need by just going to the various ICE prison camps. Easy-peasy.

Just when I start to think Hegseth couldn’t possibly be any more cringe, he dusts off a 30 year old reference to try to sound like a badass:
Is he trying to be so cringe that the universe folds in on itself?
Also, did he even watch the movie? In the diner scene, Jules admits there is no deeper meaning to it, it’s just some cold-blooded shit to say to a MF before popping a cap in their ass.
(Also also, if CSAR is “the finder of lost children” that strikes down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger, your boss is in some shit!)
I wonder if Kegsbreath even knows the quote wasn’t written by God, but by Tarentino. And then he changed it anyway.
Maybe he does when he’s sober. So give it a few years.
It fits with the performative Christianity theme they’ve got going, so at least it tracks

This seems to be a recurring theme with the use of film references to praise Trump, from Trump as Thanos saying “I am inevitable” (at the point in the film right before Thanos loses) to using Tiny Lister’s “Give it to me and I’ll do what you should have did ten minutes ago” Batman quote in reference to attacking Iran (even though what Lister’s character does is to sacrifice himself to save the other boat) and of course all the Star Wars references where the right identify as the Empire. They are really bad at these movie memes.
And even funnier, Jules has a redemption arc and reevaluates his fake bible quote from a new perspective. He turns on his former violent ways. Vincent, who does not, met his end violently.
If only DUI Pete would reevaluate his life choices.
