Trump's Second Term

[a_unique_person]

Trump's order says that Congress should not fund Smithsonian exhibits and programmes that "divide Americans by race".

Just like Identity politics was created by necessity to combat discrimination, dividing Americans by race was created in part by slavery and perpetuated in institutions including the armed forces up to the end of WWII and Jim Crowe laws till the 1960s.

Radical left lies obviously

i don’t think anyone would care about an illegal sweepstakes considering the minor treasons these guys commit any given news cycle.

Clearly you have a higher opinion of the general public than I do as I think losing their ◊◊◊◊ over a sweepstake while ignoring treason is exactly what they'd do.

Remember the weekly bullet point emails that federal employees are required to send to DOGE to justify their employment? They're getting bounced back because the mailbox is full.
Yeah, that just screams "efficiency".

Tech issues hit DOGE's '5 things' email requirement for federal employees

A month after Elon Musk began directing federal employees to email a list of five of their accomplishments from the previous week, technical issues have hit the process.

All federal employees should redouble their efforts on this. Send in two emails each week per employee. And send another email when they get bounce back responses. In fact, set it up as an automated rule in their email clients so they never have to think about it again.

Then try to go back to doing their job as best they can.

Trump bailing out Boeing with a personal vanity project probably going to cost trillions:

F-47, named, of course, after Trump's Presidency.

Does the "F" in F-47 stand for a word that rhymes with "trucked"?

 

[Norman Alexander]

Just as the F-16 is known as the "Fighting Falcon" the F-47 will be known as the "Fighting Felon".

Farting.

Donald has signed an executive order targeting the Smithsonian Institution

The order directs the vice-president to "eliminate improper, divisive, or anti-American ideology" from the institute's museums, centres and the National Zoo in Washington.

It also directs the interior secretary to restore federal properties, including parks, memorials and statues, which "have been improperly removed or changed in the last five years to perpetuate a false revision of history

Trump targets 'anti-American ideology' at Smithsonian museums

The order says that "divisive narratives" must be purged from the US museums and research centres.

Hmmm. An idea.
Maybe it would be festive to collect all the 'wrong' culture, pile it in a heap and burn it.
While playing rousing patriotic music.
And giving 'heart salutes'

Good news: Border-straddling library raises $140K for renovations after U.S. limits Canadian access

They're working to renovate a little-used side door, currently an emergency exit, into the main entrance for Canadians.

Then they need to put a dividing line on the floor where the border is, keep everyone on their appropriate sides and move the books so that only histories of the rise of fascism and other authoritarian regimes is on the US side, to be fair they can have a fiction section too, Margaret Atwood, George Orwell and Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.

Elon handing over his bribes at a meeting in Wisconsin on Sunday

Elon Musk
@elonmusk
On Sunday night, I will give a talk in Wisconsin.

Entrance is limited to those who have voted in the Supreme Court election.

I will also personally hand over two checks for a million dollars each in appreciation for you taking the time to vote.

This is super important.

Will there be a military parade in Washington DC on the fourth of July, this year?

Confederate statues are coming back up, too, because of course they are.

Elon handing over his bribes at a meeting in Wisconsin on Sunday

Both side's campaigning appears deranged. But this normal for Americans, so Musk has taken the next step and is now directly giving money to voters for their support.

Perhaps Americans might like to consider this: if you want to have a government that represents YOUR interests, get the money out of politics.

Easy to say, I know. But without doing it you are screwed whichever party, politician or president "you" elect.

No - that's set for the 14th June.

Trump was happily going to appoint Rep. Elise Stefanik as UN ambassador, but recent special elections have apparently made the GOP nervous about their razor-thin margin in the House and her nomination was withdrawn.

Probably so; nothing says "pro-America" more than statues and memorials that celebrate people who sought actively to divide and destroy it.

Genuinely LOLed. Fortunately I'm out in the middle of nowhere with no one to worry about the weirdo laughing at nothing..

There already is a line across the floor showing the border. However, currently crossing it does not require going through border inspection and customs.

I suspect the administration will take a dim view of Canadians entering the library by the soon-to-be built Canadian entrance and leaving by the American one. That could end up getting the person detained.

Until the USA border guards make a noise - an irate librarian is not to be trifled with!

IS that going to make groceries (such an old fashioned word) cheaper?
