The Trump Administration: The Clusterfuck Continues

Also, too …

The vast majority of which – I believe we can safely presume – is either used to smuggle, or aids in the smuggling of the aforementioned blow.

This … this is going to hurt :wink:

Wow:

The bomber – call sign HOBO 28 – had crashed due to human error. One of the crew members had stuffed some seat cushions in front of a heating vent, and they subsequently caught fire. The smoke quickly became so thick that the crew needed to eject. Six of the 7 crew members parachuted out safely before the plane crashed onto the frozen fjord 7 miles west of Thule Air Base – America’s most northern military base, 700 miles north of the Arctic Circle.

I get the feeling I know who old #7 was.

“No, Fred. You totally fucked up this time. You stay with the plane (and the nukes). You thought you were ‘way too warm’ before?”

Plenty of sand, just add some soda ash and heat.

“… from your mouth to Og’s Ear…”

“What did you say…?”

“Oh… nothing…”

You would think even threatening a NATO ally with a war of conquest- much less doing it- would be an impeachable offense.

Maybe I should drink myself to death.

And the Felon47 Revenge Tour continues!

Air Force Groups that Advocated for Beard Policies, Better Body Armor Are Gutted by Trump Directive (Headline from Military.com)

Air Force and Space Force groups that helped create policy and improve the quality of life for women, minorities and LGBTQ+ service members have been dismantled, according to a new memo reviewed by Military.com.

The memo, signed by Acting Air Force Secretary Gary Ashworth, orders “disestablishment of all Department of the Air Force Barrier Analysis Working Groups effective immediately” and cited President Donald Trump’s executive orders, signed Monday, as the reason. Rose Riley, a Department of the Air Force spokeswoman, confirmed the authenticity of the document.

When Matthew Lohmeier took the stage at a town hall in North Carolina in October, he looked at former President Donald Trump and told him that he had been fired from the Space Force – the service branch created under the president’s first administration – because he criticized diversity initiatives in the military.

In front of the crowd of supporters, Lohmeier also told the former and soon to be future president that he should establish a “special task force, office or position” to make sure that there aren’t any more diversity, equity or inclusion efforts throughout the Department of Defense.

“I’m going to put you on that task force,” Trump replied to him as the audience erupted in applause.

Trump seemingly didn’t forget that interaction. The now-president announced Friday on social media that the former officer would become his nominee to be the second-highest civilian leader of the Department of the Air Force – which also oversees the Space Force, the service branch Lohmeier was once part of.

And the Stasi are off and running! (The link goes to AOL.)

A Texas substitute teacher has come under fire after inviting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers raid his school because his students “don’t even speak English.”

Fort Worth Independent School District officials launched an investigation after the substitute teacher responded to a post by ICE on social media giving an update on arrests for Jan. 23.

The teacher, who was not publicly identified but had the X username @Hookem232, called for agents to “come to Fort Worth, TX to Northside High School,” according to the Dallas Morning News.

“I have many students who don’t even speak English and they are in 10th-11th grade. They have to communicate through their iPhone translator with me. The [U.S. Department of Education] should totally overhaul our school system in Texas too,” the post added.

Well, so much for the idea that every child deserves an education.

Kudos, though, for demanding the federal Department of Education do something when his hero (I think it’s safe to say Felon47 is his hero) wants it to go away.

Why is that relevant?

Upthread someone said their relative liberated one of the concentration camps in WW2, and after the war came home and drank himself to death. It was a joke/callback to that post.

Garand thumb?

A Florida man was standing with his brother in a line that stretched for two blocks in order to buy $20/dozen eggs, and was getting agitated. “That bastard trump promised us to make America great, but all he’s done is ruin everything. I am going to go get my rifle, go to Mar A Largo, and kill that traitor.” And off he goes.

About an hour later he comes back, gets back in line with his brother, and just stands there, doesn’t say anything. Finally the tension is too much. “So what happened??”

“You call this a line?”

Dammit! I meant to type 2029. Thanks.

Anything is an “impeachable offense” if Congress feels like it. Congress doesn’t care.

We no longer have a congress. We have a supreme soviet.

Why would they? There’s no profit and a great deal of personal, physical risk.

I thought it was a fitting typo.

Garand thumb, (1911) hammer bite, and (M1) Thompson burns made for hard men who won WWII because they weren’t distracted by dodging free-flying Beretta slides and figuring out the arcane mysteries of the ‘forward assist’.

More like a council of capos.
