If ICE has so much money, “why do they need the military?…My speculation is because it plays better on TV.”
Experts question the legality of deploying National Guard officials as immigration judges

This is one of a pair of barred owls that have been appearing every evening in my large back yard. They take turns sitting atop the remnants of an old tree from which they can scan a couple acres of lawn for their supper. Much easier than in the pastures all around the place.

In 2011, I booked a tour in the Okefenokee Swamp. It was during a severe drought, and the only water was in the canals, meaning all the gators were packed into maybe 1% of their normal range there.
I didn't know this until I got there, nor did I know it was a canoe tour. I'm glad I hadn't seen this.

Have you noticed that everything the Felon is pushing the hardest is about doing bad things TO people while he is doing everything he can to eliminate all programs, services, and entities intended to do good things FOR people.
You can't eliminate the carrot and govern solely by the stick.

This on-camera exchange perfectly sums this corrupt POS's entire operating principle. It's a crystal clear, step-by-step illustration of how he handles what should be a learning experience and how he responds to anybody trying to correct him on anything.

A few lightning captures from a couple storms this past week. The first was on Earth/my daughter's birth...day, and then the next night. In both cases, the storms were at least 30 miles away, so I felt pretty safe on my hilltop vantage point.

When covid was just starting, a question showed up on my FB page asking if anyone knew anybody who'd died of it, and it had received mixed responses.
I said the day would come when the question would be if anyone DIDN'T know someone.
The same can soon be asked about people who've been disappeared.

We have become a mashup of all the "evil/bad guy" nations in all the books and movies about troubled international relations and intrigue from at least as far back as I can remember going back to the 50s.

There was method to his madness, but there was no consideration of national interests, just personal gain... & he's even boasted about it.
The SCOTUS ruling on his immunity and the GOP's collaboration gives him free rein to manipulate the Dow however he wants, with no thought of the harm it causes.

The consensus grows: "Donald Trump tried to crash the global economy with tariffs. It is hard to grasp just how historically, world-alteringly stupid this is."
Bruce Arthur: Donald Trump has pushed America into a golden age of stupid. Now’s Canada’s chance to be smart
It is hard to grasp just how historically stupid U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs are. Now is Canada’s chance to be smart and build new trade networks.

I am really sick of waking up every goddam day utterly distraught over the endless series of devastating measures implemented by the gang of heartless, treasonous things infesting DC yet knowing that today, and every day for the foreseeable future, will probably see even worse atrocities.

I don't know which list is longer, the ways the Felon copies almost everything Hitler did or the convicted sexual predators he's befriended and/or pardoned.

How about a game of "What Will They F Up Next" Bingo ?
About the only things I can think of that haven't already been done are Flat Earther globes and "Dear Daughter" Valentine's Day cards.

I think you can bet on this being the case. Do not use DOGE wifi.
ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

The Felon is manufacturing outrage out of thin air in order to rile up his supporters enough to support and entirely inexcusable military action against an ally.
Not only has he copied every step of Hitler's path to dictatorship & war, he's exceeded his role model in the flimsiness of his excuses.
