Ne'er do well, sailor. The Jim Belushi of poasters. Biding my time. Every day and in every way, I’m trying to become a better Lieutenant Junior Grade. The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time.

This is the provision Ensign cited as the basis for the government's authority to summarily remove unaccompanied migrant children. I’d love to hear from immigration lawyers, but having briefly looked at it… it’s so frivolous it’d be laughable if it weren’t so cruel. (Am I wrong??)
He died. He died on the toilet but “not the way you think,” a White House spokesperson said in a brief statement before declining follow-up questions.
She literally was backed by the same people she reported on amongst a hundred other things. are you people for real?
Heather Honey, a high-profile denier of Donald Trump’s loss in the 2020 election, has been appointed to a senior position in the Department of Homeland Security in which she’ll help oversee election security.
Houses are heated by the BTU, boats by the pound-furlong.
What about the world’s oldest profession ?
What about the other 500? Was that ever dealt with?
Let me tell you something about their butter.
The entire stupidity of your position is an argument about whether I was talking about “*law enforcement work*” [you] or the work that law enforcement does [me]. Even for the internet it’s a very dumb argument.
Or claiming the thing you say I am. Do you want me to agree? It wasn’t even your convo? You jumped in here 5 hours later to argue with a strawman you’ve invented? You were hoping for charity? Civility? A pat on the head?
Because I went through the same silliness with the first guy to find out we basically agree. You re inventing a thing I didn’t say to argue with. That’s a really odd thing to do. What possible discussion are you hoping to have? There’s nothing else I can say. For the third time I’m not saying
It was very close to this. But fewer onions.
Very fair. Wish I had a picture. But in those days I didn’t really have a good phone / camera.
Yes. We had those in London. It was a little twee. But it did exist in Marleybone when I lived there.
Nailed it.
Like I have to ask in some seriousness. Why? Why would you do this? What’s in it for you? Why are you choosing this path?
This is precisely what I said. You’re choosing to nitpick in order to have an argument. I don’t tolerate that shit here. The moose outside Bluesky should have told you.
I’m absolutely not arguing this and didn’t say I was. Take your bad faith elsewhere.
Basically all agree with except for some weird semantic or circular discussion point people want to pretend to have.
I never claimed they were or should be doing law enforcement work. The exact opposite. I have to believe you understand fully well what I was saying as it is a pretty commonly held and a waiver view as well as described in detail further in the threads. And one that both the OP and others
Probably good that I didn’t make that argument then.
Trump isn’t being photographed today because he took an overnight flight to stop his 8th consecutive war and bring peace to the Middle East. He’ll be back on Monday with a Noble [sic] Prize and a Thank You note from Hamas.
Literally a single photo from inside his “club” smiling with the two thumbs up and 8 blond cougars grinning standing next to him would be easy, has been done a million times and would end it all.
He’s pining for the fjords.
Boy that’s a lot of satisfaction. The post 2005 makes me think it’s possible to rub the GOP off his junk. But it also makes me worried that it will take a hell of a lot. They LOVE his racism. Also it’s nuts that people’s views is tied purely to the presidency.
Hard to tell. Unedited. Geez. But there’s not enough of it to really know. Sounds fairly well like his normal gibberish.
Are you sure he didn’t put something in your drink.
Well. This will certainly help clarify that his health has never been better.
I threw everything in here—the dollar, bonds, the future of the defense umbrella, the insistence on centrality, stablecoin, why centrality is not always strength, the evolution of US & global (r,g ) dynamics, and a shoutout to Steven Solomon. But no dad jokes alas.
If it was Friday that’s hardly dispositive. And I have no doubt they could be making it up.
Fifty-one of the 85 Federalist papers were written by a guy born in Nevis.
Ok. New speculation!! He’s eloping with Loomer and they wanted to have a secret wedding in Vegas that nobody would know about.
Looks like the DC interview WAS released yesterday. I refuse to go on their site. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...
Before the interview could be … any time before yesterday. I thought he was golfing. Why was he in a suit?
In Philly $9 would be pretty high. I for. Go to the most expensive places so I couldn’t give the highest one. But it’s close.
I did several different searches on Google. I can’t find a single story today on where he is, except the NYP/DM. Multiple from yesterday.
Whoa
I’d say that’s highly speculative.
Literally the only ones who are covering it are Daily Mail and NY Post.
We also have some limited ability to influence how unified the pro-democracy coalition is. Remember, competitive authoritarian regimes rely on divide-and-rule tactics. The sooner the opposition unifies, the better the odds of dislodging autocratic rulers.
It’s like an inverse Streisand Effect. You are so well known for talking about shit. That NOT talking about shit is highly suspect.
By the time DOJ files this status report, Judge Sooknanan will have been awake for nearly 20 hours.
Here. This is all I could find. Daily Mail and NY Post. Crazy. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...
I can’t even find anything from today anymore. There’s clear video of him walking to the car yesterday. Google search is now a disaster.
Nope. AFAICT
My favorite part is all the Twitter knobs posting. He’s alive! Suck it Libs!
We had the opportunity to do this. But oil and coal barons bought the US political system.
I bet it is.
Cool Cool cool cool
At least it’s not fixed.
I bet it isn’t.
No no. This isn’t fascism. Look. Mace is just one crazy person you can’t take her seriously. They are ALL crazy people.
As a friend recently put it: the venn diagram of people who assured us the gun violence was worth it because we need the guns to protect ourselves against a tyrannical federal government and the people cheering on Trump as he deploys the military to take over American cities is a circle
I bet it is.
Is that the Green Party? Or the Trash Panda Party?
Is there any interest in a thread about felony murder and how it's fucking nuts? Because it's fucking nuts
London broil, with teriyaki sauce, grilled red onions. And oven baked zucchini.
Newt Gingrich’s destruction of the Congress was truly devastating.

Trump’s theory of people is that they are just as hollow as he is, that any show of virtue, character, or principle is just a con. The most disturbing thing about the Trump era is how comprehensively he has been proven right.
Which happened to Biden. I don’t think he’s dying or is especially in medical trouble. But he’s just struggling / having a procedure. Something to set him back a bit. And it will continue to get worst.
Oh no. No no no no
Did we ever find out if the golf one was real or not?
I would simply show a video of me giving my wife a big kiss in public to prove that I was alive and doing great.
“I’ve never felt better!”
Yup. If you are going to repeatedly hide, lie and distract people are going to get pretty skeptical of everything you say and do.
Tough to articulate in words how much I despise these people, and wish every possible negative consequence upon them 🎁🔗: www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/u...
Wonderwall You know I’m right.
Cool I regret not paying for the keen investigative journalism of [check’s notes] reading the president’s public tweets.
Are you ok?
I missed the Maggie (no longer subscriber) anything good?
Rudy Giuliani happened to be in the middle of one of his favorite pastimes - RESPECTING WOMEN - when he suddenly broke every single bone in his body. Please do not call and ask any questions because his business partner is taking care of him ❤️
It is, after all, a short distance from Trump using "Palestinian" as a pejorative to treating all Palestinians, from toddlers to grandmas, as presumptive criminals. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/31/w...
He left DC?
MOAR
Tintoretto da Philadelphia
Okie dokie Just marinated some top round and going to have a quick and easy sandwich
A lovely night tonight. Even if the westbound departing flight path seems to be right over the city.
Right now in Michigan, we’re in the middle of a budget showdown. The Republican Speaker of the House slipped a provision into the budget that would kneecap our Attorney General – and make it near-impossible for us to take the Trump Administration to court.
Are you still cooking? Get on with it man.

Not true. They are listening for their wives telling them to stop fucking around and start daming things already.
I do. It’s not hard. At all. Mostly it takes humping water.
I get that (a) Ensign isn’t going to be reprimanded for this (b) I’m not the expert if Geidner etc. But it seems to me. That if you are in on a holiday getting dragged over the coals for this stuff and the Judge is asking you to file an order; & all of Bluesky knows about it, you ought to be aware.
If you are poasting what you love. It isn’t work.
GINA! Girl, I *KNOW* you’re somewhere where you shouldn’t be reading this.
TBF this is an editorial mistake. The LLM would have used a hyphen.
