Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Mine was uneventful and filled with junk food.
Yuuuuup

Have a happy St. Paddy’s Day!
…umm…I metioned yesterday that I didn’t know how to do this but I think that…at the risk of…damn…don’t want to say blowing my own horn because @farscythe & I are supposed to be being responsible & there’s a certain amount of going to town that would leave on the table which I don’t think our cousin matt could resist some sort of ribald riposte about…& that’d leave me on the hook for incitement to something probably untoward even before we found out where it was going
…but…I think this
https://www.youtube.com/@RestlessInPerpetuity/playlists
…would land you on a page that has all the playlists I’ve cobbled together for DOT penance or however those land with folks…& the one that’s the watts prophets album I couldn’t find grouped that way already…& having given that the once over…I think there’s a couple that literally have farscy’s name on…so…if you happen to think you remember there having been something you liked the sounds of at the foot of a DOT since I noticed those were an option…I wish you well of them…I don’t pay for youtube to knock it off with the ads so for me playing them through works better from an embedded link elsewhere than at youtube itself since those handily appear to be suppressed that way…ymmv?
im well behaved again now…pinky promise
but uhh…that link just gives me an empty page…. unless im too stupid to find the playlists….which is possible
…nah…that’s on me…they need flipping to public from “unlisted”…I’ll try to do that tonight & then I won’t be lying about that link?
Good to know that WaPo is still on board with the sanewashing.
Trump has a plan to remake the economy. But he’s not explaining it very well.
Meanwhile, the lickspittles have largely given up on trying to justify this mess.
‘No pain, no gain’: GOP tells Americans to suck it up as economy worsens
Meanwhile the so called tough guy Orange Shithead is still flying back and forth to Marge A Logo playing golf.
The little people were always meant to suffer, it’s the big people who are currently crying that their precious stocks/businesses are getting slaughtered (unless they’re shorting them.)
If that Orange Shithead learned anything at the military skule for spoiled brats and wannabe Generals is that no plan survives first contact with the enemy (which is reality and the US’ former allies, friends and the rest of the world minus Russia, but he doesn’t. Proving Trump family motto #2.
Again, I keep coming back to that skeet: They’re not governing like they are trying to get re-elected.
This is basically it. Once they start ignoring judges without any repercussions, we are done.
Exclusive: How the White House ignored a judge’s order to turn back deportation flights
I have to say, I assumed they’d build concentration camps here, not outsource them. Now how long before we start sending them to Russia to serve in the severely depleted Russian army?
White House official says 137 immigrants deported under Alien Enemies Act
/Without even a trace of humor/ Soon, beginning with the 240k Ukrainian Refugees that the Orange Fascist wants deported.
I wasn’t joking either, to be clear. I guarantee that it’s been discussed.
Counterpoint: Why build concentration camps when you can just gut cancer research and slash Medicare and Medicaid, and throw water on vaccinations — you can build the whole country out of concentration camps!
…meloni managed it…the tories & reform had their rwanda statement of intent but didn’t get the seats on the flights up before them not being on the up & up took them down & made it go away
…his plays are always someone else’s first?
pictured as to How the fucking idiots ignored a court order.
“How many divisions does the US Judicial System control?”
I’m honestly surprised it’s taken them this long to start ignoring the judges. The whole game is “what are you going to do about it, besides nothing, when we do what we want anyway?”
I’m sure another lawsuit is already in the works, but these assholes can claim they have precedent with Andrew Jackson. Then right wing SCOTUS will solemnly nod and hand over what little power they have left.
Trump Family Mottos:
#1: A Trump never pays their debts
#2: A Trump never learns
#3: If a Trump does something well, it’s by accident
I thought about the Trump family yesterday and how they suddenly became invisible. It’s another one of those things that are making me queasy. It’s like how birds go silent when a predator is near. Silent Trumps means some extreme fuckery is going on, they know about it, and they’re scared of getting caught in it.
This is what Jared’s been up to

I try not to overstate things, but this interview was legitimately insane. He needs to be forcibly retired to a farm upstate: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/16/magazine/chuck-schumer-interview.html
Democrats in disarray, except for real, but mostly Dems going “WTF is wrong with Schumer?”
More Chuck Amok
That book tour he is going on will be a fucking disaster that he so well deserves.
I hope protesters line the streets. They’re publishing the dates on BlueSky. Hopefully the Tesla protester will take a break to ruin Chuck’s day.
Schumer called off his book tour due to “security concerns.”
For “reasons”, Chuck has canceled his book tour.
I suspect the book will also end up in the remainder bin with the those endless right wing grifter/”policy” books, Ben Shapiro novels and L. Ron Hubbard signed copies of Battlefield Earf (sic.)
So…there are these large displays at the entrances to the bathrooms at the Baltimore airport. They tell everyone how many stalls are available. Which means, by inference, you can get a good idea of how many people are sitting on the can.
Doesn’t anyone think these things through?😬
I, for one, welcome the public scrutiny.
They should add timers to help preserve men’s prostates.
Monday Morning “cheap” laugh.
Is there anyone under the age of 50 and NOT living at home still in the KISS Army?
Seriously, who would pay for this?
*checks news*
hmmm..wierd…not really seeing any fresh new stupidity
….is he golfing again?
Resting. He “won” a big tournament over the weekend. Regular stupidity will resume once he’s caught up on his sleep.
Trump makes shock admission after winning yet another golf championship at his own course
For some reason, I am just a good golfer/athlete
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….oh man…thats funny
wonder what lifes like when you believe your own bullshit that much?
