That’s what cops and machineguns are for.
The New York Times has been “failing” for 10 years now. That’s one protracted death scene.

Do it, you morons.
I dare you.
Oh good lord!
This was my fave part (which cannot be repeated too often):
[Judge] Hollander wrote that DOGE “essentially engaged in a fishing expedition at SSA, in search of a fraud epidemic, based on little more than suspicion,” and “never identified or articulated even a single reason for which the DOGE Team needs unlimited access to SSA’s entire record systems.”
EXACTLY!
No need for libraries or museums here in idiocrasy land.
Looks like Dudek backpedaled hard:
Less than 24 hours later — after the judge rejected his argument and the White House intervened — Dudek is saying he was “out of line.”
-and-
“[The White House] called me and let me know it’s important to reaffirm to the public that we’re open for business,” he said. “The White House did remind me that I was out of line and so did the judge. And I appreciate that.”
I have no doubt that Social Security is still in their crosshairs, though. They just can’t figure out how to do it.
They know how to do it. They just can’t figure out how to do it without getting blamed for it.
I don’t think they’ll be necessary. I don’t think people are angry enough to put themselves in what Trump and co will no doubt consider the line of fire. Not yet.
When they start starving they’ll get that angry and desperate fast. But then go off and die quietly after the first few thousand are massacred for defying their god-king. Trump and Musk will probably masturbate to the videos of the slaughter.
I groomed, saddled and rode my horse after cracking an elbow in a fall (no, not off him, walking too fast and tripping onto asphalt) starting a couple of days after I got treated, with the arm in a sling. Saddling with one hand (and a small assist from the sling side, ouch) wasn’t easy, but I was going to do it anyway. Come to think of it, after falling I drove home in considerable pain and only called a friend to take me to the ER when I arrived. Fortunately it was my left elbow. But I loved that horse, dammit, he was a steady Eddie, and we only walked till I healed. And I’m presuming you loved the rafting enough to suffer a little for it.
ETA: But I was sober, so does that make me even stupider than you?
I don’t think Felon47 does stupid things just for joy or love, but only in service to the spite and evil that animates him.
o I weep for what could have been!
Trump claims he didn’t sign an executive order that has his signature on it.
Just in case anyone, anyone at all, had any lingering doubts about how much Firxt Felon47 loves himself some communist dictatorships, he’s sending Cuban refugees to Cuba. Also note these people came to America legally and have not overstayed their visas.
A top law firm, Paul Weiss, has rolled over for Firxt Felon47.
Let’s see:
-
Incitement to riot while president = acting within the scope of the office of president
-
Conspiracy to commit sedition = acting within the scope of the office of president
-
Mass pardons of traitors who tried to overthrow the government = acting within the scope of the office of president
-
We now have a king, not a president.
And the magaflatearthers and whatever other shades of Republicans are left in our country can now shut the fuck up about law and order, unless, of course, they’re discussing the television franchise.
Maybe autopen signed without him. Or while he was dozing (DOGE-ing?) after his noontime berder.
If Trump fucks with the Cubans he’s going to destabilize the GOP’s hold on Florida.
Except if they no longer intend to allow honest elections, that no longer matters. Now that they have the fascist government they’ve wanted so long, the base has served its purpose and is expendable.
To be fair, Trump is also considering a way to let Zelensky get more soldiers to fight against the Russians:
Trump is also considering whether to cancel the temporary legal status of some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled to the US during the conflict with Russia.
Neurosyphilis?? Who can say.
In the immortal words of Chris Rock:
N****** and Jews is next, 'cuz that train’s never late
Exactly my thoughts. They’re t taking their own sweet time about it.
When I arrived at my last duty station in the Army, one soldier in my section said, “You’re going to die!” by way of greeting. I responded, “Aren’t we all?” He then said, “You’re the first one to get that!” Interesting characther he was.
