The new Pope has apparently been pretty critical of Trump's immigration policies. Laura Loomer, Megyn Kelly and the usual MAGA suspects all pretty triggered. Must have touched a nerve.
- Since the shitter has sorted out now all the internal aviation issues (obviously the air force is another mess) I bring u Newark. After DOGE went nuclear, not only did they have a staff shortage purely on the temps, another 20% of the flight controllers just said fck it, we're out too. So they do not have enough people to run control in one of the busier airports in the East Coast. DOGE said now worries - we'll make your software better. Turns out thats caused radar to fail 4 times in the last 2 weeks and radio as well. Its so bad that west coast flights to Newark have literally gotten halfway across the country and been told to turn back. Shitter was questioned on this and the response - Buttgeig is gay and rides a bike with his husband on the back of his bike. Isn't that lovely.
- Turns out that all of the Shitter grifting is technically legal. As long as he does not appoint family members, accept bribes from foreign nationals and he does submit a financial disclosure once a year - all things are good. Congress have a raft of rules but none actually apply for the Pres. Guess they always thought the Pres would operate to a certain level of decorum - lol.
- One of the law firms that gave the Shitter $100M in dick suck to avoid being blackballed now has a bigger problem. Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft (awesome name) are unlikely to be able to deliver that deep throat for one simple reason. Everyone except the principals have resigned in protest. I believe they all put on the resignations #NoThroatTickle
- Ed Martin was the Shitter nom for Wash DC attorney. The dude that made a career out of freeing Jan 6ers. Had to get through a senate committee which has a 12-10 rep majority. One rep said, no way after Jan 6 (general thought was all the reps hated this guy but someone needed to take one for the team). A 11-11 draw means - old mate don't even get to the senate confirmation. So he got dropped. So who does the Shitter nom instead? Jeanine Pirro the Fox host (we're up to 23 Fox people now). Apart from the fact she has not practiced law in 20 years, some big issues here. This is the woman that was sacked by Fox for being off the rails (hired her back later on). This is the chick that when Tucker Carlson was in the good books, his producer sent an email to the Fox exec saying he worries she is actually not sane. And he was not alone in this view. Keep an eye on this one - lets see whether other reps may take one of the team.
- The shitter is now playing around with the idea of increasing tax rates for those earning over $2.5M. Only a few percent but still. Probably still way ahead with insider trading though.
- The shitter has requested the drunk dude with itchy fingers to add Greenlands military base to the Northern Area Command jurisdiction within the military. Nothing burger right? Except the Northern Area Command is a US internal division. Has no brief or jurisdiction outside of the US.
- The shitter just nixed the agency that is basically consumer safety. The group who look at shit like baby stuff and make sure its not gunna kill anyone. So Propaganda Barbie was hit with this question, as a mother - does it worry you that the agency that regulates the safety of products including baby stuff like prams and cots has been defunded and broken up and that there is now no regulation in this area? The answer, he's the shitter and the shitter can shit wherever he likes (ok - little bit of paraphrasing).
- Time for my fave. Have to go digging for the guy but a catholic member of the Shitters church group said this months ago (some slight paraphrasing). This was at the time when the last Pope was having health issues.
My mentor Father Bob from Chicago (might be Bob - but the gist is on point) once told me this and I always believed it. The Vatican will NEVER elect an American pope while the US is the leader of the world. The perception for catholicism and its place in the world would not be right.
Cannot argue with that.
Ok - late LNN special and sorry, gotta move the churchy stuff to 2nd fave. Let me bring you the story of Sergey Kostenyuk. Legal Permanent Resident for 30 years. Ukraine refugee after the fall of Soviet Union. Has a wife and two kids. So Sergey has a nice little side business building chicken coops and backyard sheds and flogging them on FB marketplace. Strong Shitter supporter, voted for him and has a shed filled with Shitter Shit (double negative? Anyways lets not digress). So good ole Serge gets a message. Wanna buy two sheds, can I come around and check em out? Sure says Serge. Turns out it wasn't a dude wanting sheds but 30 ICE agents. Arrested him in front of the fam and off to detention you go for 30 days. So what did Serge do?
He bought a tele and some tools in 2018 and later pawned them for a profit. Got pinged and that was the combo. Record + non citizen.
And if ya want to know what can constitute a criminal record? Cliona Ward. Legal resident for decades. Went to Ireland to basically see her dying father. Came back and got caught at the airport. Her crime? Had a drug addiction in the early naughties and got pinged 2 times for possession. She also had two other misD's. Both were failure to notify the DMV of an address change within 10 days. Got a 3 week govt holiday b4 she was released.
Now the two possession charges (the felonies) were for Mary Jane. Now what makes this very interesting is Mary J is now legal in her state. So she nearly got deported for a 'crime' that is now legal.
I suppose we could excuse the co-host for just sitting there as he was shocked or worried about his boss but geez isn't it your first reaction to jump up to assist? Isn't that inbuilt and instinctive?
Faux News...the state of the USA atm?
For those that haven't yet seen, the Trump Administration is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. If they do, that means that the Trump admin can arrest and permanently detain anyone and they cannot challenge it in court. They could indefinitely imprison anyone.
The reason they are considering this is because a student wrote an article criticising Israel's actions in Gaza. She was put in prison without trial and held for 6 weeks until her lawyer challenged it using Habeas Corpus. Trump wants to make sure that his political prisoners can't get out of prison.
