Trump's Second Term

[Resume]

HIMES: You said there were 'bad actors' among credit card companies. Who are they?

BESSENT: I'm not going to name them

HIMES: So you'll tell us they exist but you won't tell us who they are so we can undertake oversight?

BESSENT: I think you have very large investigative committees

Casten: You said tariffs are inflationary. Do you want to correct what you said to the ranking member, or did you lie?

Bessent: If I was mistaken, I want to correct it. I was also mistaken when I said tariffs could be inflationary

I swear, all these cabinet members seem to be competing for the biggest dunderhead award.

He wants it to look like this:

He wants it to describe the true version of events, where all five companies of heroic yellow neckerchief-wearing cavalrymen found themselves surrounded by thousands of mounted Indians, galloping in contra-rotating circles, and Custer was the last one to die.

I remember reading that while Custer's body wasn't mutilated to the same extent as some in his command, women pierced his eardrums with knitting needles so that he might listen more carefully in the next life. Now I'm not suggesting that such a procedure would ever have an effect on Trump, but is there really anything to lose..?

Safe in their asbestos homes

Pressley: You have included asbestos in your exemptions. You’re telling me you can include asbestos and not baby products?

Bessent: I think you would want children to be safe in their homes.

This is another thing this corrupt administration is doing with impunity: relaxing/eliminated environmental restrictions proven to protect public health.

Not a cult

Kristi Noem: "Most of all we thank President Trump for the guts and the love of this country to do the right thing ... he told the American people we needed a wall, and we have a wall. A big beautiful wall that President Trump also wanted painted black so that it would endure."

The Washington Post has laid off every reporter and editor covering the Middle East and Ukraine. Jerusalem bureau closed. Also Ukraine bureau closed.

I was just laid off by The Washington Post in the middle of a warzone. I have no words. I'm devastated.

Remember when MAGA claimed that they all banded together in order to stop pedophiles, who they said were all part of a Democratic Party trafficking operation? Now, they defend the people who actually operated and participated in a child trafficking operation....

It's entirely consistent: they objected to pedophilia, rape, and sex trafficking because they thought Democrats did those things.

I say we should keep the "ballroom" in whatever state it is when Trump leaves, forever, as an eternal reminder to what happens when you let dangerous idiots run the country.

I say we open it to the public as the new Washington, D.C. city dump and landfill.
