Craven Self-Preservation Puts Senate GOP at Odds With Trump

Losing that many MQ-9’s would indicate that we do not enjoy air superiority in Iran.

Everything these bozos do is half-assed, at best. Other than the grifting and looting.

And them there were TWO
Another six-figure settlement stems from punishment over Charlie Kirk-related speech

On Wednesday, we learned of the $835,000 settlement for Larry Bushart, a retired law enforcement officer who was jailed on a baseless charge for 37 days in Tennessee over a social media post following Kirk’s September killing.

On Thursday, the American Civil Liberties Union announced an $485,000 settlement for Brittney Brown, a former Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologist who was fired over a meme she posted to her private Instagram story.

She reposted a message from the parody/satirical account @awhalefact that said “The whales are deeply saddened to learn of the shooting of charlie kirk, haha just kidding, they care exactly as much as charlie kirk cared about children being shot in their classrooms, which is to say, not at all.”

Unfortunately, if they’re ever asked about this sort of stuff in a hearing, they just fillibuster without answering until time has expired. In a regular courtroom the judge would simply lock them up for contempt, here MAGA bathes in that same contempt.

Consumer sentiment hits fresh record low in May as Iran war fuels inflation worries

Consumer sentiment has tumbled to a fresh record low in May as fears of higher prices grow due to the U.S.-Iran war and elevated oil prices, the University of Michigan’s Surveys of Consumers said Friday.

The index of consumer sentiment fell to 44.8 from a preliminary reading of 48.2. It’s also well below the 49.8 level seen at the end of April.

“Consumer sentiment fell for the third straight month as supply disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to boost gasoline prices. Sentiment is now just below the previous historical trough seen in June 2022,”

“I’m not greedy,” the convicted bank robber told Reuters. “But my life was all fucked up because of this. I went to prison! People started calling me a convicted bank robber! It was embarrassing! I definitely deserve a chunk of that money President Trump is stealing from the bank.”

I get a kick out of you.

Some get a buzz from champagne and applause,
some from breaking every norm and law.
But me? I find joy, absurd and complete,
in losing thirteen people and calling it elite.
