Well, more than you in a lot of instances. They are in the business of knowing.

Guess I needed a /sarcasm tag after all…

Holy fuck, this is so fucking stupid.

H.R.1161 - To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as "Red, White, and Blueland".​

Holy fuck, this is so fucking stupid.

Look.
Some days... Americans just gotta ask themselves. How North Korean do you want to go?
What's a little slavery and starvation between patriots?

Do not confuse tyranny with stupidity.

What you don't seem to understand is that your brain is broken and you badly need therapy. Can you provide examples of positions the DNC holds that are unpopular? No, it's all vibes all the way down. Seek help.

No amount of therapy can fix his level of stupid.

"Red, White, and Blueland" isn't tyranny, it's stupidity. The whole Greenland thing is itself stupid tyranny, but the fact there's legislation with that name on it is 100% pants-on-head stupidity. I suppose it's probably appealing to our tyrannical toddler-in-chief pants-shitter because it will make him guffaw and say "that's very clever, I'm glad I came up with that."

All the stupid renaming just reminds me of this

It's always be Fort Hood, TX to us no matter what name it is given.

Even though Carswell AFB name changed to Fort Worth JRB about years ago it's still called Carswell by old timers.

We had daily B52 take off and landings nearby as part of the nuclear deterrent against the USSR. That stopped with the fall of the Soviet Union.

The old buzzards were health hazards!

It's always be Fort Hood, TX to us. Home of the 1st Armored Division.

You like your forts named after traitors and shitty generals?

Kendrick Lamar: sings a song about Drake being a pedophile

Matt Gaetz: Clearly this is a Deep State attack on Donald Trump



He does know that “the regime” is Trump, right? He heard the line “certified pedophile” and thought of his god-king. He’s not too bright.

Meanwhile, the rest of the usual suspects are saying “hold my beer”;




Why are Black people appropriating our White sports?

Now Katie Britt is suddenly "very concerned" about the loss of Federal dollars due to the latest administration cuts.

Currently, some universities receive 50% or more of the amount of a grant to put toward support staff and other needs, but that would be capped at 15%, according to AP.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Alabama in Huntsville are examples of the state institutions that could be affected by the cuts.

UAB alone has received more than a billion dollars in NIH funding in recent years, AL.com’s John Archibald reports. UAH also receives NIH funding, university spokesman Russell Nelson said Saturday but couldn’t say how much.

Steve Ammons, president of the Birmingham Business Alliance, said he was unsure of the specifics of the cuts, “but certainly any reduction in funding would be a hit to UAB since they were in the top 30 for 2024 for NIH funding. Certainly something we need to watch and make sure we advocate for the state’s largest employer.”

Katie Britt vows to work with RFK Jr. after NIH funding cuts cause concern in Alabama

UAB and UAH are among Alabama institutions that could be affected by cuts.

Trump may well grant exceptions (to cuts) to red states. Because grad students and universities love nothing better than knowing their funding is at risk of being cut on any given day with little recourse due to being subject to the whims of a petulant man-child.

Hegseth requests $137k to improve the government-furnished house in which he’ll live in DC. House Democrats send him a letter asking him to justify this expense, which includes $49k for an ‘emergency’ paint job. Jen Griffin, Hegseth’s former colleague at FOX, reports on the letter via her Xitter account. Hegseth is pissed that the letter came to light, calls it ‘Fake News of the Day’, even though there’s absolutely nothing fake about the report.

Pete Hegseth rips former Fox News colleague and calls out ‘fake news’ for her sharing of factual information

Hegseth has asked for more than $130,000 to repair a government-furnished home, $49,000 of which is for an ‘emergency’ paint job

Pete? Almost every thing you need to know is in Dexter, setting up a kill room isn’t that difficult. Although Hegseth would trip drunkenly on the plastic tarp and that would be that.

A Missouri cattle farmer who voted for Trump is facing financial ruin after the USDA froze funding for key conservation programs

Missouri Farmer in Danger of Losing His Farm Due to Federal Freeze Blasted for Claiming He 'Didn't Have Time to Research' Before Voting

A Missouri cattle farmer is facing financial ruin after the USDA froze funding for key conservation programs, despite previously signed contracts.

www.latintimes.com

The current USDA freeze under Trump’s leadership has left many disillusioned, including Holden, who has faced criticism after sharing his story on TikTok, with many telling him he “got exactly what he voted for.” …

Holden defended his thought process in trusting the quiz and voting for Trump, explaining that his 17-hour workdays leave little time for political research. …

Lol!, but…he took a QUIZ! If you didn’t have time to do your research, maybe you should have MADE time to do your research! Sucks to be you!

I wonder if the quiz started of with, “Would you prefer a candidate who is a totally reprehensible dishonest conman?” or “Do you believe an insurrectionist should be President?”

Welp, Kentucky is having his face eaten. I wonder who Kentucky voted for? Duh!

Kentucky distillers sent more of their whiskies and other spirits north than to any other country. Exports to Canada were valued at about $90 million.

GOP Rep. Gary Palmer (R- Alabama) Says ‘We Need To Remind’ Trump That ‘Congress Has a Role’

Lol! Not any more. They abdicated that when they declared Trump God Emperor. Representative FuckFace here surely supported the candidate who clearly cared not a bit about what role Congress would have during his reign. So, he can kindly go pound sand.

I think we are going to see this play out with the funding bill in March. Congress will flail around for a week or so. It will be a shitshow. Then the Project 2025 guys will present their own budget because they know they are smarter than those idiots. Trump and Musk will say “pass it or be primaried”. If Congress (and by that I mean the Republicans) do this, then they are no more than a rubber stamp for Trump. Maybe some of them would start to realize that it’s actually their jobs on the line and resist. Probably not, though. It really seems that a majority of the representatives have no idea what their job even is.

Yeah, bourbon was headed for a bust year, and that was BEFORE the tariffs. Younger people drinking less, older people drinking less, dry January stretching on forever, more “malternative” beverages and zero alcohol cocktails in a can and legal weed too.

Now with tariffs, it’ll be a reckoning. Of course I live in a state that’ll pay a pre-negotiated wholesale price and keep consumer pricing the same regardless of what happens on the open market. But I may have to make a trip to SC and load up when prices crash.

Canadian tariff on US booze should make it cheaper for you no? Lower demand and all that.

Much expansion in the tourism sector and building out distillery tasting facilities.

Sucks that there has been some downsizing and realignment. Brown-Forman cooperage in the Ville is closing down.

Dementia addled Trump - “there’s some outside problem with eggs maybe”, groceries is an old fashioned word", groceries is an old fashioned word"

Acyn (@acyn.bsky.social)

Trump: Groceries, sort of an old fashioned word. The price of groceries went through the roof… You take a look at eggs today— I mean, the eggs are double, triple, quadruple, they’re going through the roof. No, there’s some outside problem with eggs maybe.

bsky.app

I’m sure he has never, ever set foot in a grocery store. He loves the word "groceries" because he just learned it several months ago and since he had never heard of it, it must be some old thing and he is impressing everyone by bringing it back.

BAIER: When do you think families would be able to feel prices going down?

TRUMP: "I think we’re gonna become a rich-- look, we’re not that rich right now. We owe $36 trillion. That’s because we let all these nations take advantage of us."

Yeah, they even lost a nuke at Greenland after a crash, even though Denmark were a non nuclear zone, but I guess it is all in the history now...
