Alligator Auschwitz is gone but still doing damage. (The bolding is mine; I heard it in Carl Sagan’s voice.)
Pesonal note: Given the cruelty connected with everything this mal/misadministration does, I shall never use the term czar for any of their positions. So if they appoint a banking czar, I shall, of course, refer to that person as their banking nazi.
I don’t want to exonerate any nazi, but I believe you should be more discerning there. You are talking about someone in a position of power, not just any foot soldier thug (see for that the last category I suggest). The czar was the supreme monarch, the equivalent in nazy hierarchy would be Führer, but that seems a bit over the top to me. My sugestions would be:
Banking Gauleiter.
Banking Reichsleiter.
Banking Sturmbannführer. Seems more apt for ICE related ranks, but it may be fine for some underlings of the above.
Banking Obersturmbannführer. Same as above, but higher in rank.
And then there are the innumerable Banking (or any other exercise) Kapos. Low rank, mean, spiteful beings full of hatred. They can be generalized as MAGA Kapos. They probably have their own hierarchy, like Oberkapo, Megakapo, Überkapo, but I don’t really want to know that in too much detail.
My thought on this “Rake the forest” nonsense is, what then? So, we do the impossible: We send teams into the north, deep in the woods where the biggest fires run wild, and we rake up all the leaves, grass, sticks, whatever. And then what? Now we’ve got all that stuff sitting in a big pile somewhere. Where do we take it? Why won’t the big pile just catch fire?
A golf course can send stuff like that to a local landfill, but the scale of these forests are so far beyond even the biggest golf course, it’s just ridiculous to think about it.
He most definitely considered women. He will use those testosterone levels as an excuse to boot them out or at the very least demote them back to the military secretarial pool.
Testosterone, you say? Enhancements? However could the Trump clan make money off this idea, you ask?
“The privately-funded games have garnered considerable attention online, and are financially backed by Donald Trump Jr.'s venture capital firm, 1789 Capitol, and tech billionaire Peter Thiel. The company behind the event, the publicly-traded Enhanced Group, is using the games as a launch pad for their business, selling peptides and other supplements. Enhanced is also documenting the effects of the drugs on athletes for its own research.”

So, well within his wheelhouse.
In this case normal is a range of values, from 8-60 ng/dL (that’s nanograms per deciliter) in adult women. How “high” or “excessive” is defined is, well, sort of undefined, there hasn’t been a lot of research about this. I think doctors often go lab values combined with symptoms to diagnose a hormone problem of that sort.
From what I can google/duckduckgo/etc. the IOC limit comes to about 144 ng/dL (there are a couple difference ways to measure T, apparently) for female competitors, so they actually allow higher than strictly “normal” for women athletes, although even that upper limit is still below that of men.
Compare to normal values for men, which are roughly 300-1,000 ng/dL
I didn’t hear that Donald wanted to charge a tariff ON the smoke. He wanted to charge tariffs IN RETALIATION for the smoke*. To punish Canadians, and teach them to rake their forests!!!
Because he is a moron. But, of course, a moron always looking for that chance to grab a few bucks.
* on goods unrelated to the fires and/or smoke.
Trump: Inexplicably starts badmouthing Spain and demanding an embargo
Spain: Wins the World Cup
And Trump bullied his way in, to present the winners with the trophy.
I wonder how that’s going. I must wonder, as I’ve turned off the broadcast.
Talk about silver linings for me!
He apparently wandered off during the photo op.
I’ve never watched the World Cup before. I take it the head of state of the host country doesn’t typically insert themselves into the photo of the winning team?
He did that a little while ago because Spain wasn’t supporting his aggression in the Persian Gulf. So it’s just a continuation. I’m fairly sure he doesn’t have the power to forbid trade with any specific country unless we’re at war with them, but that doesn’t mean he won’t try.
…of ONE of the host countries. Canada and Mexico are better behaved.
The plan was for Trump and Infantino to give the team the trophy and then step aside, but Trump started wandering instead. On the video you can see Infantino run across the stage and grab him to guide him off, presumably to stop him before he could start doing the double-jerkoff dance.
I’ll paraphrase the old saw hammer: “When the only tool you have is a tariff, everything looks like an import.”
Well, okay, they have two tools, but of course he can’t see that he’s a tool.
As soon as I saw that he was there, I knew he was going to pull this shit again. Everyone knew it. Whoever was responsible for this event should have had a plan in place to deal with him, and not look like fools on the world stage.
Also, since Spain is part of the EU, it would be difficult to impossible to embargo Spain alone without the rest of the EU. Just another stupid, meaningless, empty threat from a stupid, meaningless, empty person.
