WASTE - demolishing the East Wing when there was nothing wrong with it. FRAUD - lying to tax payers that private donors would pay for his new ballroom. ABUSE - staging an event so that his maga twats could demand the public pay for his ballroom instead.

The 10 highest-paid utility company executives raked in more than $220 million last year. Meanwhile, utility companies asked for a record $31 billion in rate increases, affecting 81 million customers across the country. Yes: utility CEOs are raking it in while millions struggle to pay their bills.

Do we really have a constitutional republic, with elected representatives making decisions on tax and spend issues, when an imperial president can just take our money and buy an airline? We don’t have a govt functioning with the consent of the governed - we have one man run amok.

Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint. But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities. Priorities.

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement. The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone. But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

from today's post, on the Mad King's latest incoherent flippity floppity flippity flop on immigration policy please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4l3z1k3 (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)
watching Mad King Donny struggle to reason his way though an issue in real-time is like watching a monkey play with a hand grenade. you know it’s going to end horribly, but you can’t look away.

“Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!”

holy shit, Taco Donny is tacodonnying his own draconian immigration policies.

anyone expecting logic or consistency — or even basic coherence — from Mad King Donny’s royal pronouncements is living in a dream world.

the Mad King has the impulse control of a horny dog and the attention span of a meth-tweaked squirrel. he’ll start out yammering one thing, and by the end of the sentence, he’ll have contradicted himself four times.

plus, the man is stark barking bonkers. he’s out there where the buses don’t run, lost and wandering in an ever-thickening haze of dementia and untreated tertiary syphilis.

sure enough, Donny starts out almost making sense — and then slides right the fuck off the rails. you can smell the smoke as the Mad King’s synapses strain to connect. deporting migrants … who do jobs … Americans won’t … BAD.

no shit, Sherlock. we’ve been screaming this at you for literal years: immigrants are good for the economy.
