When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

‘Just need to get through this busy patch and then I’ll have a chance to relax a bit’ sounds good in theory, except when you realise you’ve been saying it for like fifteen years and things are worse than ever.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

I didn’t know that you could mix speakers of different impedance.
Just went through a whole tidy & reorganize & setup for some found speakers, only to find them blown.
Tho, I had 1 speaker left of an old and beloved Klipsch ProMedia setup. Mixed with 100w Technics centre for L+R.
Result: Superb!🎶

I am giving myself permission to relax at a job that seems to impose itself as something inherently stressful.
*sent from the street corner where the unobstructed morning sunlight hits, 3 minutes after the start of my shift, about 4 more minutes until I have enough sun and am ready to go in 🌞

“Fine for misuse” means that it’s fine to misuse it. Just don’t go using it in any official capacity’s because only the crew can use it properly.
Funny how it’s likely frowned upon for the crew to misuse.
So it’s one of the perks the public gets —misuse, that is.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

I was raised around guns. I grew up shooting guns. I joined the military, and it became my job to shoot guns.
This is not responsible gun ownership. It screams insecurity and irresponsibility. It's the kind of behavior you'd expect from an unstable person.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics.
Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.
Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
