I am sure Hamas will make their own special contributions to the infrastructure.

"You are going to DC and police the area."
When the Russians buy influencers, they really pay, not a lousy $8000/month.
You could make a test. Do any family members follow you on blue sky? If you went silent for a few days, would they notice? It would be a pain to go silent with all the BS happening now, but it might show something.
That's a great picture of Trump. Did he have to practice that look or was he just born incredibly entitled?
Only the best people....
These are people who Trump invites to play with him at his course, not just casual meetings. He has some taste.
"I'm a politician and don't know what I'm talking about, but he's Trump's guy, so I'm for him."
And the interviewer bursts out laughing and says, "That's the most incredible BS I've heard today."
It goes to the Supreme Court, and they say "Yadata yadata, Trump wins." Or they handle it on the shadow docket, say nothing and give Trump the win.
Maybe he couldn't think of anything to say that made any sense.
This is a great idea: Trump loads the Fed with sycophants; they do what he wants; the world loses confidence in US debt and the dollar. It will be another brilliant own goal for the USA.
Excuse me, but I have my own reality.
Now we have Donald Trump who is the luge run of slippery slopes.
Little Mike is just powerless before the might of guns, so people should look into their hearts and heal themselves (because the Republicans cut all the mental health appropriations to pay for the billionaires' tax cut).
Pave it and add one table with an umbrella and two chairs.
I guess if he switched to 7-day-a-week golf, someone would notice him in NJ.
Or Bove, take your pick.
Perhaps he's wandering through the White House dabbing gold paint here and there.
He's such a drama queen.
There's a pair of S's and a pair of T's. For the rest, you are on your own.
We're the Gratuitous Cruelty Police; we have to do this.
Allow a FAFO exception for the guy who wants to eat raw chicken, especially if Lolita is his idea of the perfect age of consent.
A whistleblower may have protection against retaliation, but these days it can't be worth much.
Miller is certainly an effortless liar. He couldn't really be this clueless.
Politicians are special people. They can make it possible for people to carry guns everywhere and yet they shelter themselves behind armed guards and metal detectors. The same can be said of the Supreme Court, protected by their fence and guards.
Hey, it works. Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me; fool me thrice, I guess I don't really care.
"Don't you go talking about things I'm not doing anything about."
The people around him are watching closely for opportunities to act on DJT's desires and curry favor with him. Not much restraint will happen there.
Get every school new staff to establish a secure perimeter around the building, securing any entrance. This will be totally free of cost. If I think of the schools I went to, that will take some staff, and you'll want to pay well for people to do a boring job where nothing happens until it does.
Another diversion into something trivial. Trump's got a million of them and so do the people who work for him.
After Fox spent a few months ranking on how ineffective Biden's prayer response to inflation was, they'd find it had worked as much as prayer ever works. Inflation did cool off because it would have anyway.
The trouble is that even DJT, Roberts's best client, probably isn't satisfied.
Perhaps Collins should meet with her constituents to see if her alarm is justified. They might help her get through this difficult moment.
Vance certainly understands the importance of frequent vacations for maximum readiness in case the hamburgers finally claim the dear leader.
It will motivate the National Guard to have go to various cities to do yard work and trash collection. When the NG go home, they can describe the hellish state of the city they visited.
Does that actually mean anything or does Lutnick know Trump is utterly clueless about this?
Trump loves to see his nodding sycophants humiliate themselves.
1) no back rest, 2) too short to lie on, 3) dips in the center so you have to perch on the edge. Is there anything else to make these benches unpleasant to use? They seem to have covered it pretty well.
I don't think it's drunk Pete who is the problem. Ukraine is in a war for survival. They need results now. They refine drones and make them cheaply. The US doesn't have this problem. When the US buys drones they can be fancy and expensive and take years to be available. Ukraine can't risk that.
I think Trump can still detect BS, but he really enjoys people humiliating themselves to keep close to him.
I'd like to be there when the Cabinet members talk without Trump in the area. I expect the comments are different.
"Your Highness, you are also like a stream of bat's piss."
This will be interesting: students will have to have legible handwriting, someone will have to read it, and it should expose people who can't do a writing assignment without AI to do it for them.
Eight people in one small section of fence? Must be a job creation program.
DJT is on an extended ramble today. Luckily, he's surrounded by people happy to amplify his nonsense.
All past reasoning of the Supreme Court is subject to being discarded if the current SC needs to serve the whims of the leader.
Putin laughs and laughs. How the mighty United States is fallen.
Too much golf.
They could offer him a golf cart.
An alarm that gives a low hum and stops.
Go back a few centuries and people would figure that was a witch's cat.
An utterly defeated Germany "negotiated peace" with the nations that had hammered Germany into the ground. Japan gave up when faced with destruction by atomic weapons or endless conventional bombing. There was negotiation about keeping the emperor and that was conceded.
None is so blind as a politician who will not see.
Putin invaded Ukraine to continue the taking of territory begun with the invasion of Crimea. Is that one of the nit-picky details? Is another detail Trump's amazing desire to fawn over dictators like some little fanboy?
Considering Cracker Barrel is a theme restaurant idea from 1969, it's not exactly traditional but also no longer modern.
So, JD next says, "The sooner Russia ends its invasion and departs from occupied Ukraine, the sooner the war will be over," right?
That is praise from the master.
Keep the letters as a reminder of the people about whom you no longer need to concern yourself.
I see DOJ as a tool of Trump's revenge. After all, for most people just being investigated and charged would be hugely expensive and time consuming. For DOD, it looks like a clown show with Hegseth hopelessly over his head and focused on cruel trivia. What if there is a real int'l crisis?
If he declares an emergency, is the definition of the emergency whatever he says it is and can't be contradicted or reversed?
Trump has a casual relationship with truth or reality, so I guess for him it's whatever he thinks it is.
These units, minus their leaders or furnished with hack leaders, will just stop doing their intended work? Is anyone worried about weakening DOD, so it won't work when it's needed? I like to think the military, for its trillion-dollar cost, isn't going to become ineffective in a crisis.
Considering the settings Maxwell seems to have been in, appropriateness is probably pretty flexibly defined.
I assume they are covering bruising. After all, why paint a spot if the hand is just swollen? They could try for a better color match, something that doesn't stand out like paint.
Take people who already had jobs, like DEA and FBI, perhaps DOD, and put them out as untrained police authorized to do something vague. Seems like a huge waste and makes me wonder who doesn't want these people doing their real jobs.
He should meet South Park Satan.
It's much easier for the politicians to work up synthetic outrage over a logo change than to do anything real about housing cost.
Take a city that is not particularly dangerous, say it is very dangerous, send in anyone but actual trained police, declare you have brilliantly removed the danger. Allow your pet TV network to cover you slavishly. Repeat as needed, wherever you please. Know that you are a hero and brilliant leader.
Or Secretary of Defense?
Lots of things are a mystery to Kudlow.
That won't even scratch the vast sum appropriated for ICE and associated activities. They have money to burn.
The raid is to pick up the secret missing Epstein file so it can be properly hidden again.
Vance could do the world a favor and be quiet, but he always has to say something, usually something stupid, awkward or just plain wrong.
We accept crazy people yelling at our kids because we don't want to make the expensive effort to help the crazy people.
Territory is real, Russian promises are imaginary.
Trump likes attractive women to represent him. It's like the old Jackie Gleason Show. Are we still hoping and progressing on slavery? I thought we'd gone past that. Now we have to have people understand the end of slavery was far from the end of oppression because oppression finds a way, always.
Maybe they'll plant people in the post office to intercept and toss out the envelopes.
Nice to have the cash in an envelope so the chips don't get it greasy.
Really talented hacks can get recurring payments to maintain performance.
Maybe some friend of Trump has won a perpetual painting contract: slap on a coat, let it peel, slap on another, let it peel, etc. It will help the steel to deteriorate faster so someone can pick up a replacement contract too.
Suppose the employees are willing to do anything to be near power and no compulsion is needed?
Time for the red flocked wallpaper.
Trump wouldn't have Chaplin's sense of humor with that scene. Now a scene where world leaders come to offer tribute, gold and jewels certainly included, would be much more DJT's style.
To me it was Biden/Harris or Trump (angry vengeful Trump surrounded by his own people this time).
So, if Biden was too old, why wasn't he too old 18 months before the election, when maybe, the Democrats could get together on another candidate? The whole thing reeks of sabotage within the party. I will say that Harris was a perfectly good candidate. I voted for her and would have voted for Biden.
The Smithsonian will now be the Museum of Happiness and Joy (and Hotness)
Oh Donald, give us a call when this Russian miracle happens.
Yeah, Putin looks really stressed by whatever DJT is saying.
Create a new Nobel category for blackmail, or for pathetic narcissism.
Who says Trump doesn't have a sense of humor? As if....
If he doesn't wear the seatbelt he can worry about bouncing off the interior of the car in an accident instead of fretting about crime.
Now run away or I shall taunt you a second time!
That's some reasoning: slavery is as old as human civilization, so why shouldn't we do it? Also, being enslaved is better than being killed. That was the offer?
If you look at coverage on Xitter, Trump's DC policies are heroic and the district is a hellhole. I don't think these people live in or travel to DC, so for them, it's whatever they imagine and at least as bad as anything they've been told.
Trumps's an 80's guy and things beyond the 1980's don't register. And I don't think he'll get much of anything from Putin, despite what he imagines.
And I think he's still got plenty of yahoos assisting to keep his bizarre agenda going when he's away.
We'll just release data when the data is positive, or can be made positive.
He should do all the fishing he wants and leave things to the remaining competent people in the department.
How about a big revolving gold T on the Jefferson Memorial?
