I have a 6:59 AM flight this morning. Keep me in your tots and pears as I jet off to spend the rest of the week with MAGA loons. i.e. my bosses and clients.
Hope you guys have a great rest of the week.

Oh my God.
I’m going to be tuning into something much more enjoyable.
Mayor Patch Adams once attended a small barbecue on Long Island. Patch being Patch, of course it drips with several different flavors of corruption. Yep. He was the law and order candidate for the Mayoralty. I didn’t vote for him, rest assured.
Bridget Jones 4: Faster and Furiouser.
Bridget Jones 4: The Wrath of Bridget
“In a universe far, far away one woman threatens to destroy humanity on earth as we know it. When she visits earth she wears inappropriate costumes, measures her (prodigious) alcohol consumption to the milliliter, and still shows up in London three sheets to the wind. Who will stop her?”
Marco Roobio? Sec State?
Stupidest Admin 2.0.
Oh, I think choosing a Fox talking head as SECRETARY OF DEFENSE might trump that. Dealing with the budget alone. Hot spots around the globe. The logistics. The procurements. I…I think I’ll return to my default position and pretend the 21st century never happened.
…that one is both insane & weirdly predictable…it was a finance pundit he tried to do something similar with last time…he likes what they say on the telly
…&…as ever…has fuck all idea of what the job really entails
…up there with the currently admin deciding that under 10% of aid making it into gaza is still enough to not hold out on any of the munitions after all because israel hasn’t crossed the line we’ve all seen them so far over that seems about as credible as fox talking head guy being ready to head up the DoD
…pretty sure he’d agree with that line, though…is he the one that says it’s not an occupation because he calls the whole place by a biblical name for a territory that hasn’t appeared on a map in several hundred years?
Old men come into my wife’s library constantly to find out how to send money to “women” overseas. It’s both pathetic and sad. Most of the time the staff can’t talk them out of it.
Found a job for Elmo too.
Elon Musk named to head department that doesn’t exist
The Party of Small Government, forming a new department to make government smaller!
Creating a new department, headed by TWO people!! So efficient!
We can laugh at the RFK Jrs. and the Kristi Noems of the coming administration all we want, but these people aren’t fucking around. I’d been thinking that at least as a last line of defense we’ll have the generals who pledged to defend the Constitution and not the President. No, fuck that. They’re already talking about forming a review board to purge generals who don’t agree with him.
They’re going to gut the people at places like the Fed and Treasury and the financial regulatory agencies who know anything, and when the next big problem looms they will have no idea what to do. I can guarantee the tech finance bros who backed Trump will be leading the charge to salvage whatever they can at the expense of the stability of the markets.
Under Biden, the Silcon Valley Bank crash was contained quickly. The new team won’t be able to manage anything like that.
They get the world they want till it all blows up.
Most of these fuckers (especially the stunningly successful ones) always lose their shit when things go sideways. It’s not the goddamned movies.
You’d think that with all the failures Trump has had that he’d have more wisdom.
A Trump never learns.
Unless her name is Mary, that is.
This is going to be really, really bad. Even if all of the generals have spines and say they’re not caving to Trump’s bullshit, they’ll all get shoved aside and we’ll see a mass of promotions of people who will be perfectly happy to lick his boots.
He already said it. He wants generals who obey him just like Hitler’s generals did.
…the sentient moustache that uses bolton to get around said something along those lines…forget whether he said “loyalty” translated to “subservience” or “fealty”…but that’s his deal & he doesn’t seem inclined to hide it even a little now?
The article I read talked about how weakened and rudderless the Soviet army was after Stalin’s purges. They might not get there the same way, but the result could be the same.

“Get away from my date, you bitch!”
Wasn’t she hunting a different one armed man in Fugitiv3?
I believe it was a one-legged man in The FugitIVe.
On some brighter personal news, I submitted my application to go back to University (non diploma studies aka for another program) complete with transcripts (showing off my shit marks at Queen’s and my more recent and much better 3.6 GPA at technical college for pharmaceutical manufacturing.)
You’re going back to school, then? Are you trying to get outta that hellhole of a job?
Hell yes. After I put mom and dad into the seniors home, I wondered what the fuck I am going to do with my life? In Feb of this year, I realized I had a once in a lifetime opportunity to change my life so fuck yeah, I’m going to do it. I knew I was too late for registration for Fall 2024 and I didn’t have the cash, but now yeah I’ll be the old creepy freshman in 2025 if things go well.
You’ll be every professor’s favorite student because you won’t use chatgpt to write everything and will understand how to turn things in on time.
^^^ this right here. Every professor loved the older student who was there to be serious and do the work.
Also, congrats! I hope this puts you into a much better (and less asshole-filled) position.
My kid says his professors have AI-detecting technology, but the students have figured out how to beat it already.
Hey, if you take Spanish and can figure out some way to do the Vulcan mind-meld thing, I’ll be happy to spring for the trip to Toronto.
Good luck!
FUCKING IDIOTS

Yes they are.
matt gaetz as ag
musk as “doge”
we are fucked.
…I hear you…but it also hasn’t happened yet?
…they didn’t give him the senate majority leader he asked for so they might not agree to go home & not make his appointments go through confirmation…then again, they might…because they say the transition couldn’t be smoother but they still haven’t done even the normal paperwork let alone filed the ethics stuff…all of which was due back in sept…so…nothing means anything now, right?
But where is Nestor????
i still dont know who nestor is 🙁
all these jokes…they’ve been breaking orbit above me
…basically at some point in his 20s gaetz adopted a then-14-yr-old kid called nestor…think he was dating the sister…but they broke up & he stayed adopted…after coming to the states totes legal like…from cuba
…then fivehead gets into politics & eventually tries to claim he’s the single parent to a mixed race immigrant child & the internet was all “this can’t be for real, right?”…& it was talked about a lot…&…then it wasn’t & nobody’s heard from nestor in a long time?
matt gaetz as ag
musk as “doge”
i dont know why…but i just read that in the style of the a team
anyways….
little hard to take this shit seriously….serious as it is…
True.
Last year around this time I read Otani was going to be Blue Jay. It still makes more sense than a pederast as attorney general.
Jeannie Pirro aka Judge Boxwine makes more sense.
welp on the upside…fuckwitticus orangus will probably sack em all within about 6 months
you know…if his neediness runs out of other scandals…..heads must roll
the lime light is wandering…and we cant have that
course he might also just keel over and die 2 weeks into the presidency…and then you have puppetdent vance…
that really wouldnt be good
shit…never thought id find myself thinking of trump as the lesser of evils…..
