This is really late...but, Dok, crash test investigations are handled by the National Transportation Safety Board, which is a. independent agency. Regulatory capture is already a serious problem, the last thing you want is for the regulators to be investigating accidents where their own malfeasance may be a cause.

Since the SAVE act and the anti-trans act are policy acts and not fiscal, the Parliamentarian will rule them invalid. It will be curious which gets ejected, the policy acts or the parliamentarian?

Whichever one is closest to a window?

Ta, Dok. SMDH.

The GOP used to be the single block power while the Dems were an ad hoc collection of multiple, often conflicting, blocs. Now the Dems are united by one issue. And the GOP cannot agree on whether to cave to Trump or them. Either way is going to damage their current control of Congress, such as it is, as well as well as crashing any mid-term hope of a turnaround outside of complete nullification of the results.

Hooray, Bondi Beach is safe... except for the guys in grey suits. Middle America is not safe, as another in the continuing "Can you top last week?"'s storms is hitting. Windy, not the hail of yesterday. Car insurance there is going to skyrocket, and stock in body shops is going to go through the roof.

I love Bondi Beach (or at least the 1987 version thereof). I befriended some surfies who lived across the street from the water (is the street called Campbell Parade?) in an apartment shaped rather like a surfboard. I was glad I had tissue in my bag when I visited them. There was no toilet paper in their hung-with-wetsuits bathroom.

This phrase is eerily spot-on:

This getting fired thing is going to severely impact her brothers defense attorney business. He had been very successful recently in getting cases dismissed by the DOJ. I'm sure there was nothing illegal going on, but it will be interesting to see if his recent success continues without a sister running the DOJ.

I’m not a reporter, but if I was George Will or Bret Stephens, I would start making some phone calls. Will’s wife worked in the Education Department when Will was plugging Bill Bennett’s Book of Virtues, just like Cheney’s wife was working at NEH when Cheney was Veep. Getting a book deal when your husband is the most powerful man in the world (not W). What conflict of interest? Judge Robert’s wife gets her featherbed legal jobs because she is a crackerjack lawyer. Right? Right??

If you are running a job board for lolyers it is all about connections. She has them. Ethics maybe not so much.

Fire a clown, hire a clown. This isn't news, it's distraction. FWI - Hugo Chavez used to do the same thing with his Ministers of the Month. Keep your eyes on the real criminal.

Criminal? Todd Blanche?? Todd Blanche is an honorable man. DJT says so. And we all know DJT is an honorable man. So are they all…all honorable men.

Just came home through O'Hare. TSA were friendly helpful qnd engaged which was weird enough; ICE was at most entries and egresses, armed, with their thumbs up their asses, doing nothing.

Warren's avatar

They are well-qualified to do nothing. They are trained to do nothing. Our tax dollars at work. Who says government can’t create jobs, like teachers, firefighters, social workers, mental health counselors?

How long until Rubio, Leavitt, and Gabbard are out as well? I feel like there's still a lot of room under the bus.

diogenez's avatar

Before they go, they should get together and do that 25th Amendment thing.

open windows are nice for letting in spring air

fair_n_hite_451's avatar

Tulsi will go next. The rumblings have already started.

Then Leavitt. She just "mysteriously" will never return from mat leave (which starts in May I believe)

Rubio will inherit both their jobs ;-)

Detain... er firees are mostly women, or people who did not cut the convicted felon in on the grift. Misogonyst much?

Everything DJT touches dies. That’s why Melania doesn’t hold his hand.

He's kicking out girls.

Yep. Phase 2 is all male, all white🙄

I feel Kash is next. He went a whole year of his promise not to fire anyone, now he's got a lot of catching up to do.

devourerofpancakes's avatar

I agree with Human Scum. Trump is only going to get rid of the women. Is this part of Miller's thing? It feels like Miller decision.

Eureka's avatar

What a malignant growth he is.

Stulexington's avatar

I don't think he's going to stop at just girls, he's not just a raging sexist, he's also a raging racist. I think Kash is next because he's jealous of Kash partying it up with Team usa.

Warren's avatar

I think it’s DJT. Remember the kids in cages in El Paso? “The optics are killing us!” So Melania went on a sunny day wearing a fast fashion raincoat that said “I really don’t care, do u?” Donnie knows optics. Like Melania’s red Christmas trees. Like Melania’s movie that rivals Shoah for a movie. (OK, it only felt like it was 6 hours long.)

I know its not Friday yet, but I've already thought up my cocktail.

Bourbon, Yuzu dry Curacao, splash of club soda, in a highball with plenty of ice.

A classy adult version of a Lynchburg Lemonade. And an excuse to buy a bottle of Yuzu dry Curacao.

Everything Goes Better with Yuzu

It’s 5:00 somewhere, past that in the Middle East.

The latest from The Florida Fishback Follies!

A viral clip posted to X on Thursday showed Florida Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback blowing up at a Black voter and telling him he should be "lynched" for asking about the allegations of inappropriate behavior with teenagers.

The clip was posted by the account @JustinUSA, who describes himself as a "normal Republican."

"So, Mr. Fishback, what's with you smashing a 16 or 17 year old? Can you answer about what's going on with that?" asked the voter.

He appeared to be referencing Keniah Fort, a woman who alleged Fishback started up a relationship with him when he was 27 and she was 17 while she was employed at his nonprofit Incubate Debate. She said they ultimately lived together for a time before a breakup, and he allegedly engaged in cyberstalking against her. Fishback has denied all of these allegations.

"She said it in court, before you ran for office!" the voter said. Fishback then replied that the judge dismissed all allegations.

"Hey, hey, hey, why is he not answering the question, bro?" said the voter, who then asked him what intimate positions he and Fort had engaged in.

"I don't want you ever speaking about women in our state like that ever again," said Fishback.

"I mean, I don't want you ever smashing girls, teenage girls, in our state ever again," the voter shot back. "So promise me, never smash a minor again?"

"Why haven't I been arrested?" said Fishback. "Why haven't I been arrested? You should be lynched!"

Fishback, who trails President Donald Trump's endorsed candidate of Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) in all recent polls, is notorious for drawing massive crowds of younger Republicans to his rallies — and for his long history of inflammatory and racially-charged statements. He has said Donalds, who is Black, would "turn Florida into a Section 8 ghetto," and has also vowed to shoot anyone who poses a threat to his campaign workers.

Last month, his campaign was banned from every Waffle House in the state of Florida.

Wooo! That’s crazy, to be banned from Waffle House. Pensacola NAS can’t survive without WH. Neither can the students in Gainesville. How demented do you have to be to be banned from where the waitresses get combative training with chairs as deadly weapons. Chuck Norris was a bad ass, but even Chuck Norris knew not to mess with WH waitresses. Between a stripper with 4 visible body piercings and three visible tattoos and a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and an ordinary WH waitress with a lit cigarette and a cup of coffee on her break, bet on the WH waitress every time.

And they won’t let this clown into the WH? That is some sorry ass shit.

He’s lost the Waffle House vote. In Florida, that’s 150,000 votes right there. The waitresses are mother figures to incels.

His cult of personality still worships DJT. It’s like the Twilight Zone episode with The Old Man In The Cave that James Coburn won’t listen to.
