Despite that, I understand more illegal drugs come by sea in the Pacific than the Caribbean. Or at least that’s what several news reports about the sinking of Venezuelan boats have said. Of course, those Pacific drug runners are probably coming from Mexico and not Colombia.
I’m not sure if anyone’s raised my question, but I do know the actual answer to it. Here’s my question:
Since when has a drug offense been a capital offense?
An appendant question is:
Since when has a drug offense merited summary execution without judicial involvement?
Strangely enough, this time the CF is correct about what they’re proving. They’re proving to their base they can satisfy the base’s bloodlust.
And it’s likely going to work in their favor.
Yeppers.
Since Trump took office. Next question?
They’re killing brown people; something they consider a worthy goal in its own right.
The Art of the Deal?
I’m actually pleasantly surprised that the citizen test doesn’t include the mandatory question “Who won the 2020 election?”
Good news! He is out now [although he sounds exactly like the type of nutcase Kennedy and Trump prefer]:

Bible. You gave me a laugh, though.

Someone is going to get fired for that!

I would have bet a dollar that it did include, “Name your very favorite U.S. President!”
While Republicans in Texas, Missouri and North Carolina already have enacted new congressional districts, Indiana lawmakers have been hesitant. Indiana Gov. Mike Braun called for the General Assembly to convene Nov. 3 for the special session. It’s unclear whether enough of the GOP-majority Senate will back new maps.
This is actually Monty quoting AP news.
My view, as a resident of Indiana: The legislature seems reluctant to pursue redistricting, with some legislators saying that they don’t have the votes for it.
The MAGA Hoosiers on Facebook that I see are saying things like “We’ve got to get this done, or else those damn Democrats will continue to oppress us!”
It’s pathetic. Indiana has had a Republican supermajority in the state Senate and House for as long as I can remember. At the national level, both of our Senators are Republicans, and of our 9 representatives in the House, a grand total of 2 are Democrats. And these idiots still think that there’s some woke antifa boogeyman lurking around every corner that they have to guard against.
And of course he’s going to rename the Kennedy Center. Opening night of the non-gay, non-union Cats.
Well unfortunately I am going to the Kennedy Center with a cousin on November 29th so I guess I will see firsthand what they have done to the place.
Not looking forward to it.
Why go at all? The best way, IMHO, to slam the felon’s takeover of that institution is to treat the center as though it no longer exists. Let it rot under his tiny thumb.
Or one could let him continue to embarrass himself and the country just like he did in Japan. Here are some highlights from Buzzfeed.
(All the bullet points below are quotes from the link.)
- It starts with Sanae motioning Trump to keep moving after he stands in front of the band
 - Then there’s another angle where Trump salutes when he didn’t need to
 - Next, he walks past the Japanese and American flags, where he’s supposed to bow.
 - Moments later, the prime minister waits to see if he will return, but when she realizes he doesn’t, she bows in front of the two flags.
 - Then he finishes the loop by continuing to walk in front of her until she catches up with him and guides him the rest of the way.
 - “Trump violated protocol during his meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister Takaiichi. He didn’t stop by the flags, saluted the Japanese soldiers, and walked ahead without waiting for her,” someone else said.
 
So, why does he insist on rendering a miitary salute (badly, mind you) when he’s in front of foreign military?

Oh I agree.
I didn’t want to but it’s a family tradition with my cousins to go somewhere in DC on Thanksgiving weekend every year when I go to visit.
I didn’t realize she was going to buy the tickets this early and was a little surprised when I got her text this morning. I wanted to explore other possible venues and events.
But I have also been toying around with not going. I have a valid excuse with the way my back has been acting up. So there’s that excuse hanging in the wings.
Thanks for commenting on that. I know it’s been a few decades since I last lived in that area, but certainly there are much better places not connected to the felon and likely providing a much more memorable (in a good sense) experience for a visitor.
Are you seeing Aida. with the Washington National Opera? That should be good.
ETA: I may have replied to Monty, meant for @Ellecram

No - some kind of Shakespeare Improv Theatre Company?
Unless I can convince her to cancel and schedule something else.
Even going into DC feels like a death march at this point.
The Reduced Shakespeare Company?
The Reduced Shakespeare Company?
Bargain Bucket Shakespeare perhaps.
Reduced Shakespeare Company?
Doesn’t look like they’ve got any tour dates in DC according to their website.
Turns out they’ll be right here in Olympia in December, though! Getting myself a ticket now, which’ll make the fourth time I’ll have seen them.
The constitution might prohibit corruption of blood, but nature doesn’t.
BELLEAIR, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s granddaughter will be taking a detour on her way to playing college golf at the University of Miami — Kai Trump will make her LPGA Tour debut next month.
Kai Trump received a sponsor exemption Tuesday to play in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club on Nov. 13-16, the penultimate event on the LPGA schedule that typically has one of the strongest fields of the year outside the majors.
“My dream has been to compete with the best in the world on the LPGA Tour," Trump said in a release. “This event will be an incredible experience. I look forward meeting and competing against so many of my heroes and mentors in golf as I make my LPGA Tour debut.”
Here’s what the LPGA says about this.
“Sponsor invitations are an important way to spotlight emerging talent and bring new attention to our tournaments and the LPGA,” said Ricki Lasky, the chief tour business and operations officer at the LPGA. “Kai’s broad following and reach are helping introduce golf to new audiences, especially among younger fans. We’re excited to see her take this next step in her journey.”
I’m not buying it.
Damned if this doesn’t make sense.
White House officials fired all six members of the U.S. Commission on Fine Arts, a federal agency which would have been tasked with advising on the design elements of the new $300 million White House ballroom championed by President Donald Trump.
The move comes just a week after the entire East Wing was demolished to make way for a 90,000-square-foot ballroom. Preservationists and critics, including former first lady Hillary Clinton, have decried the demolition.
A White House official told USA TODAY that the administration was preparing to appoint a new slate of members to the commission that are “more aligned with President Trump’s America First Policies."
There’s some song about about water and oil. Seems it could use a new verse about the felon and fine art.
That’s all I can update for now–Great Firewall Issues at the moment.
The felon is a real polymath. Now he’s educating the Navy about water!
Donald Trump went on a deranged rant about the power of water to destroy magnets during a rambling address to the U.S. Navy just off the coast of Japan.
Speaking aboard the USS George Washington aircraft carrier during his tour of East Asia, the president appeared to suggest—in a largely incoherent speech—that he is pushing for aircraft carriers to use “steam for the catapults” and hydraulics for elevators, while wrongly claiming that water can disable magnets.
The elderly president was talking about the magnetic catapults used to launch planes from the latest Navy super carriers, the USS Gerald R. Ford class, and the electromagnetic elevators used to move weaponry to the flight deck. Both systems double the speed with which planes can be armed and launched but slowed the delivery and commissioning of the $13 billion flagship of the class.
This is some master level erudition, ain’t it?
“You know, the new thing is magnets. So instead of using hydraulic that can be hit by lightning and it’s fine. You take a little glass of water, you drop it on magnets, I don’t know what’s going to happen,” Trump said.
“So, you know, the elevators come up in the new carriers—I think I’m going to change it, by the way—they have magnets. Every tractor has hydraulic, every excavator, every excavating machine of any kind has hydraulic. But somebody decided to use magnets.”
And he thinks the Navy’s flag officers are called generals.
The 79-year-old president then stumbled over his words and failed to complete a coherent sentence before moving on and asking the watching troops whether they preferred hydraulics or magnets.
Trump then called out to a “top-ranking general” in the crowd for his opinion before continuing his tirade against the 2,000-year-old technology.
Feel free to read the rest of his rambling incoherence. I prefer to protect my brain cells.
The Trump administration has reassigned the top Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials in five U.S. cities due to an insufficient number of deportations.
The personnel moves last Friday, which the Washington Examiner first reported, affected ICE leaders in Denver, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Phoenix and San Diego. In some cities, those positions will be filled by senior Border Patrol agents, according to the report. Those five changes won’t be the last, three officials told the outlet.
“It’s a lot more,” a person familiar with the rationale behind the reshuffle said.
Wait a moment. Didn’t he already admit to a quota? It’s not easy keeping up with Diarrhea Fails.
