Typical weekly overload of reprehensible conduct, outrageous lies, corruption at its finest, constitutional overreach, phony martyrdom, and abject stupidity.
They won’t care. As far as they are concerned reality is what they say it is, and if the facts disagree then they just need to insist harder until reality bends to their will. It never works, but that doesn’t stop them from trying over and over.
The makers of Tylenol need to sue them into oblivion. Using a trademarked brand name, rather than the generic “Acetaminophen”?
The money has to be on RFK not knowing that because he stopped those evil drug manufacturers from having direct contact with regulators.
Kenvue {maker of Tylenol} CEO Kirk Perry met with Kennedy earlier this month to stress that message, and try to discourage him from including Tylenol as a potential cause of autism in an upcoming report on the disorder, according to a separate report from The Wall Street Journal.
‘He thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.’

Epstein, Epstein, Kirk, Epstein! Just checking if you were following my every word.
I’m 65. Apart from a brief few months in my teens when I thought a nuclear armaggedon was about to rain down upon me, I have been somewhat comfortable in the political stability of the world.
I’m scared now, not so much for me (because I’m old and white) but for my grandkids (one is trans) and the future they have to inherit. I’m really sorry it has come to this.

Co-conspirator Tulsi Gabbard goofed on security clearances.
Tulsi Gabbard, the director of national intelligence, did not inform the White House that her office was revoking the security clearances of 37 people – including top deputies to the CIA director, John Ratcliffe – before it happened last month, according to three people familiar with matter.
The move caused consternation because it resulted in the White House not having an opportunity to closely vet the list before it became public and there appeared to be no paper trail from the president directing the effort, the people said.
As a result, officials only realized after the fact that Gabbard had managed to pull the security clearances of career CIA officials, at least one of whom was a top adviser to Ratcliffe and had worked on some of the US’s most sensitive military operations, the people said.
The list also included two Democratic congressional staffers – Maher Bitar, the national security adviser to senator Adam Schiff, and Thomas West, an aide on the Senate foreign relations committee – prompting fears the administration would be thrust into a messy separation-of-powers issue.
Weeks later, several of Trump’s top advisers remain deeply frustrated with Gabbard and view the episode as a blunder that comes as Trump is skeptical of the intelligence community and has suggested dismantling the office of the director of national intelligence (ODNI).
Alabama is now being run by the Second Felonial Era.
In what is reportedly one of the first instances of “checkpoint” operations between the Department of Homeland Security and a state police agency, more than two dozen people were detained within the past several days.
Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey confirmed to Fox News Digital that she directed the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency (ALEA) and other cabinet agencies to “work closely with ICE to catch criminal illegals.”
Ivey praised ALEA’s work on a particularly lucrative “bust” in Russellville, which saw at least 20 people detained.
The felon’s outrageous visa fee creates what he loves: confusion.
The surprise order from the Trump administration imposing a new $100,000 fee on some visas set off a day of frantic travel as workers, companies and foreign governments scrambled to respond to Washington’s latest immigration crackdown.
By the time the White House clarified that existing holders of the H-1B visas for skilled workers were not affected, the chaos had already been sewn: U.S. allies expressed concern and their nationals abandoned holidays, business trips and plans to see their families as they raced back to America before the new rules took effect Sunday.
President Donald Trump on Friday signed the proclamation requiring companies to pay the fee to obtain the visas, which major tech companies rely on to fill high-skilled jobs .
The order offered little clarity, however, about whether the steep new charge applied only to new applications or might also ensnare people seeking renewals and even those already holding valid visas.
The ambiguity was enough to trigger a worst-case interpretation inside boardrooms and across living rooms from Bengaluru to London.
India’s government said the measure was likely to have “humanitarian consequences by way of the disruption caused for families,” adding the “full implications of the measure” were being studied.
The Felon of Fink wants to weaponize government against his political opponents.
President Donald Trump publicly called on his Attorney General Pam Bondi to begin prosecuting his political opponents in a Truth Social post on Saturday.
"We can’t delay any longer,” Trump posted on Truth Social in a message addressed to “Pam.”
“[I]t’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!), OVER NOTHING. JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!”
Trump specifically urged Bondi to prosecute California Sen. Adam Schiff, a Democrat, former FBI Director James Comey, and New York Attorney General Letitia James, all of whom led investigations into Trump, political or criminal.
In the same post, Trump complained about Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney from the Eastern District of Virginia, whom Trump ousted last week after he told senior Justice officials that there was insufficient evidence to bring charges against James. Trump argued that Siebert was wrong and that there is a “great case.”
Trump followed up by announcing the appointment of his personal attorney-turned White House aide, Lindsey Halligan, as Siebert’s replacement.
“Lindsey is a tough, smart, and loyal attorney, who has worked with me for a long time, including in the winning fight against the Weaponization of our Justice System by Crooked Joe Biden and the Radical Left Democrats, which she witnessed firsthand when she stood up for my rights during the Unconstitutional and UnAmerican raid on my home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump wrote.
This is not normal behavior for a president. It’s not even normal behavior for a boss. And, yes, I’m including mob bosses in that. Not even the mob is this unhinged.
A real presdient, Macron of France, talks truth about a nepotic appointee. (The bolding is mine.)
French President Emmanuel Macron said it was out of line for Charles Kushner, the U.S. ambassador to France and the father of President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, to publicly accuse him of taking insufficient action to combat antisemitism, and for him to link France’s foreign policy positions to domestic incidents of violence against Jews in France.
In a letter he published in the Wall Street Journal to Macron in August, Kushner wrote that he had “deep concern over the dramatic rise of antisemitism in France and the lack of sufficient action by your government to confront it.”
“Public statements haranguing Israel and gestures toward recognition of a Palestinian state embolden extremists, fuel violence, and endanger Jewish life in France,” he wrote, urging Macron to “enforce hate-crime laws without exception; ensure the safety of Jewish schools, synagogues and businesses, prosecute offenders to the fullest extent; and abandon steps that give legitimacy to Hamas and its allies.”
In an interview with “Face the Nation” moderator Margaret Brennan on Thursday in Paris, Macron called Kushner’s criticism a “mistake” and an “unacceptable statement for somebody who is supposed to be a diplomat.”
Again, none of the Second Felonial Era’s stunts is normal, not even for died in the wool crimnals.

Why not just tout snake oil? (The bolding is mine.)
One day after claiming his administration has “found an answer to autism,” President Trump announced new efforts on Monday to warn Americans that taking Tylenol and other acetaminophen-based pain relievers during pregnancy could be linked to the neurological condition — and to encourage the use of leucovorin, a lesser-known cancer and anemia drug, to treat it.
But both theories are unproven, and Trump did not provide any new evidence to back up his administration’s new recommendations.
“I always had very strong feelings about autism and how it happened and where it came from,” the president insisted. “We understood a lot more than a lot of people who studied it.”
Translation: The felon’s feelings matter more than experts’ actual knowledge .
The felon just declared every American against fascism to be a domestic terrorist.
Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday that designates antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization”, reviving a controversial pledge from his first presidency in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing on 10 September and yesterday’s memorial service .
“Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law,” the order reads.
Wait a moment! I seem to remember a certain person calling for the overthrow of our government way back on January 6, 2021. I also recall that same person calling for the cancelation of our constitution. Congress is part of our government and the constitution is the basis of our government, you ignorant treasonous felon.
But, of course, this is one more stunt from the convicted conman.
Some extremist experts are however questioning the president’s authority to make such a designation. Unlike foreign terrorist organizations like Islamic State, no legal framework exists for designating domestic groups as terrorist organizations due to first amendment concerns about criminalizing political ideologies.
Because of that, Heidi Beirich, co-founder of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism who has faced Congress as an expert witness on hate groups and extremism, said the move was “ridiculous on its face” and that Trump’s declaration appears to have “no basis in law or fact”.
“There is no domestic terrorist organization list in the US,” Beirich said. “There is a mechanism to declare foreign organizations terrorist organizations, and when that happens there are legal mechanisms to hamper them including such things as material support. But none of that exists domestically and it doesn’t appear there would be a way to apply that designation to antifa”.
She also added that antifa is not an organization with hierarchy or dues, which makes it unclear how it can be declared a terrorist organization in the first place “unless new legislation is proposed or Trump comes up with some extra-legal mechanism that I can’t even imagine”.
Hegseth’s intended purge won’t work.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s campaign to oust service members celebrating or mocking the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk online has already seen at least eight people suspended or placed under investigation, with legal experts warning of a chilling effect on free speech.
The disciplinary actions — including suspensions of at least five Army officers and an Air Force senior master sergeant, a Marine officer relieved of his recruiting duties and placed under investigation, and an Army Reserve major also being looked at, according to Task & Purpose — comes after Hegseth last week ordered staff to actively search for anyone working for the Defense Department who condoned or made fun of Kirk’s Sept. 10 death .
But a “witch hunt” for people who criticize someone that the Trump administration is lionizing is “extremely dangerous” as it threatens to remove the long-held apolitical nature of the military, according to Rachel VanLandingham, a former Air Force judge advocate and now a law professor at Southwestern Law School.
“Going beyond things that directly impact good order and discipline, directly impact the military mission, just to retribute and punish and therefore suppress and chill any personal expression based on ideological grounds is beyond the pale,” VanLandingham told The Hill.
She added, “We’ve never seen institutionally … the ability of the Pentagon to limit speech utilized to such an extent purely on ideological grounds.”
&
However, legal experts worry that any campaign targeting service members for espousing their views online ultimately will be a detriment to the military, driving talented people out of the armed services without recourse and instilling a fear of speaking out in others.
Some Pentagon officials have gone a step further, raising the possibility of criminal prosecution of members who applaud or make light of Kirk’s assassination.
Stephen Simmons, deputy assistant secretary of Defense for military community and family policy, has claimed that service members posting negatively about Kirk were in violation of their oath of office, and that Hegseth “knows (as do we all) that this cancer that desecrates the constitution – and the people for whom it was written – must be neutralized.”
I always feel warm, fuzzy, and happy when a top military official uses the word neutralized regarding people he doesn’t like. How about you?
Continuing.
Additionally, Under Secretary of the Air Force Matthew Lohmeier said Saturday that in the case of one Air Force member removed from his role, he had requested that senior military leaders “read the member his rights, and place him and his entire chain of command under investigation.”
“What I have seen is, at a minimum, a violation of Article 134 of the UCMJ. … Men and women who are guilty of this kind of behavior will not serve in uniform,” Lohmeier posted, according to CNN .
But while the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) limits what troops can say publicly — to include using contemptuous words against the commander in chief and other U.S. government officials — service members still have First Amendment rights under the Constitution. This means there are legal roadblocks to the Pentagon’s authority to punish troops for any alleged comments about Kirk, according to Don Christensen, a retired Air Force colonel who previously served as a military judge and the Air Force’s chief prosecutor.
While he said service members could potentially be removed from their jobs, there is no legal standing for pressing charges against them under the oft-cited Article 133 of the UCMJ, the rule that prohibits conduct unbecoming of an officer.
Take a moment and read the entire article, not just the highlights I’ve quoted.
Why do you think it won’t work? Your linked article and quote just seem say various people think it’s a bad idea. Not that it won’t work.

I think both the military courts and the civilian courts will not allow it to happen. By the time an appeal rises to the SCOTUS, the whole herd of the fleon’s asskissers will be, one could hope, out of office.
Also, I really don’t see many officers convening a court-martial for this nonsense. As the article explained, this is not something the felon’s flunky has the authority to mandate.
