Trump's Second Term

[PitPat]

I think he believes this is as high as smoke goes.

It's real.

I think he believes this is as high as smoke goes.

And that the smoke can't go around this end we can see.

Only one Truth Social post so far today. Last night's trainwreck must have plum tuckered him out, or else Saturday is his re-animation day.

We can call this a "bridgejacking."

This is the best explanation of Trump's negotiation policy I have seen.

Of course their own king isn't on there.

Only one month ago, Energy Secretary Chris Wright angrily insisted to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology that the cuts “did not involve politics in the decision-making of our review process,” calling any accusation that the funding cancellations targeted certain states for political reasons “◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊.”

This is why you can never trust anything this administration says (as if you needed another reason)

In democracies a member of the executive lying to the legislature in a public hearing would lead to dismissal. The legislature can only hold the executive to account if they don't lie. This should in a functioning democracy be a major scandal.

Biden!

Leavitt on midterms: I would remind the American people of who caused the affordability crisis in this country. It was Biden and Democrats. President Trump took immediate action on day one to fix that. All these things will only get better if given two more years with a Republican congress.

Inflation rate when Biden left office: 3.0%
Inflation rate today: 3.5%

Keep dreaming about that Republican congress.

A little lesson: Past Bad is never as bad as Now Bad

From Forbes,

Believe it or not, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) graded eggs would be illegal if sold in the UK, or indeed anywhere in the European Union (EU). It’s all to do with the fact that commercial American eggs are federally required to be washed and sanitized before they reach the consumer. EU egg marketing laws, on the other hand, state that Class A eggs – those found on supermarkets shelves, must not be washed, or cleaned in any way.

“In Europe, the understanding is that this mandate actually encourages good husbandry on farms. It’s in the farmers’ best interests then to produce to cleanest eggs possible, as no one is going to buy their eggs if they’re dirty, ” explained Mark Williams, Chief Executive, British Egg Industry Council in a phone interview.

The other, really, important fact that's mentioned in that article, it's not just good husbandry that prevents Salmonella in eggs. We've been vaccinating hens against it since 1999 after a big Salmonella scare

Granny-pants, there's no such word as "affordability". The whole subject doesn't exist. Didn't you get the memo? So stop bringing it up!

One of six posts about Elizabeth Warren this morning. He must have seen her attack him on the news or something.

 

[PitPat]

Wow, he's getting scared. You can feel the anxiety he's facing knowing an impeachment is looming.

 

[Darat]

What he is of course really concerned about is that "I" word: impeachment.

 

[P.J. Denyer]

What he is of course really concerned about is that "I" word: impeachment.

And if he outlasts his presidency that other 'I' word 'incarceration'.

I'm not going to disagree here, but it does feel like too little, too late. The Trump Administration and those they choose lying to Congress was and is extremely commonplace, after all.

The National Fossil Act is a bipartisan proposed law in the United States Congress. It aims to name the American mastodon (Mammut americanum) as the national fossil mammal and the Tyrannosaurus rex as the national fossil dinosaur.

Mitch McConnel missed the opportunity.

Thomas Massie says if there were a special election to fill Mitch McConnell's seat until January, he would have no interest in running.

Translation: he's interested in running. Why even bring it up then? Far as I know there's nothing in the works.
