Trump's Second Term

[Aridas]

As a small, but notable thing, it looks like Trump's deployment to Portland has been paused again. Why? Because Trump's DOJ admits it submitted false information to court and the correct information changed the equation notably. Specifically -

However, upon further investigation when the court paused the deployment, the DOJ acknowledged that only 20 to 31 FPS officers were ever deployed to Portland at any given time, far fewer than the 115 initially claimed.

Presumably there will come a time, in the not too distant future, when this test becomes obsolete.

I wonder if a digital clock would be considered a pass? (Probably not: the task is to draw a clock face with the hands at a certain time.)

They actually told me analog clock the last time. But remember, this is a test for old people.
I tend to draw dome specific interesting clock from my house.

Avelo is flying ICE flights. They only have 22 planes.

Can't leave much room for other passengers.

Wonder how big of a bribe was paid for that contract?

I’m wondering if Mike Johnson is refusing to swear in the newly-elected Arizona congresswoman, continually stalling, Merrick Garland Supreme Court style, until next November, while they meanwhile feverishly work to gerrymander enough states to gain enough seats to ensure they easily maintain control of the house, so that the congresswoman’s currently-needed vote to release the Epstein files becomes worthless.

And that, my friends, is one dilly of a sentence!

It's a similar stalling tactic to the one they used to prevent Obama appointing a Supreme Court judge until Trump could do it instead, so they know it works.

I once had the best ECG trace the doctor had seen. Snag is it was a near perfect demonstration of of atrial fibrillation and that hospital kept it to show to students...

Also, when I had a coronary angiogram, it showed my coronary arteries were those of someone much younger. Snag there is that this doesn't show cardiomyopathy...

The cardiomyopathy showed up perfectly on other imaging.

So, The Donald, I too have had "perfect" test results.

I'm picturing the radiology department, not unused to seeing people with odd things wedged in odd places, aghast at the x-rays showing where most of the GOP have decided to congregate.

A House of Dynamite - new movie on Netflix explores what happens when an unidentified missile is detected heading for the USA. I've no idea whether the nuts and bolts are accurate but it brought me out in a cold sweat imagining something like that happening with Trump and his cronies in charge.

Thanks for the reminder I need to watch this.

When did Biden ever say he was a pilot?

Is he confusing him with the Bushes?

Trump to troops: "Biden used to say he was a pilot. He was a pilot, he was a truck driver, whatever, whoever walked in. He wasn't a pilot. He wasn't much of a president either to be honest with you. That I can tell you. That we all know."

Still fascinating how Obama and Biden live in their heads rent-free, though.

Admiral Trump

Trump: I am delighted to announce that as your sort of boss, I don't feel like your boss, but I guess I am... we're going to make sure that you receive the full amount that you were owed for the deployment. And we're not going to deduct anything because you came in to listen to your commander—I'd like to be an admiral. I always wanted to be an admiral, to be honest.

BREAKING - A California sheriff is blowing the whistle on how Gavin Newsom steals elections, saying foreign nationals are voting through an online “honor system” where anyone can click a box saying they’re not lying and get mailed ballots.

A real king.

DeSantis: Xi really doesn't care what happens to his citizens, it's all about whether the party remains in power and as long as he has a grip on power, he's willing to do what suits him.

Watters: That’s what a real king looks like. Somebody who is not worried about elections

He is addresssing troops. It is back to the magnets. We could just fire him, and send him on a tour of US bases of the rest of the 3 years. Would he notice?

Trump: You take a little glass of water and you drop it on magnets. I don't know what's going to happen.

MAGA loves to scream about quotes of their beloved figures being taken out of context, but with Trump... there's no amount of context to make logical sense of his ramblings.
Also, can we get an orchestra that begins to play music to let him know he's done talking like they do on the Academy Awards?

Executive Order to refit carrier with steam catapults

Trump: "They spent $900,093,000 on the catapults trying to get them to work. And they had steam, which worked so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're gonna go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm gonna do an executive order."

Executive order to get rid of magnets

Trump: They have magnets… Somebody decided to use magnets… I’m going to sign an executive order, when we build aircraft carriers, it’s steam for the catapults and hydraulics for the elevators. Do you agree? Everybody agrees.

8 wars

Trump: I ended eight wars in eight months, the most of any president in history. No president that we know has ever ended any war.

Yeah, after all it's just like replacing a heating system in a house, 2 days tops to put back the steam engines!
