OT fuck-the-police: Suddenly, the FBI is all up in the Salgado Araujo murder case, claiming a bunch of meth was in the van (of course they're not releasing any "proof" of this to the locals, or anyone else).
Has anyone checked Ka$h's personal supply lately? Is he missing any?
He's losing money, and while it's an absolutely silly amount of money, it's kind of like going from infinity trillion dollars to infinity 900 billion dollars, so unfortunately he isn't really going to notice.
It definitely is a slush fund at this point. Good job Democrats!
But look at the comfort Republicans feel in doing this. It's kinda like a lot of Americans enjoy them using the military to be a slush fund and a way to kill brown people as long as they can get all the jingoistic displays of might.
A lot of citizens in this country are employed by companies that manufacture or service the US military. So this vote is very significant to a lot of people across the board. Many citizens hold their noses while they work for DoD contractors. They have to eat, also too.
Yes and that does remind me, that while people are cynical about Democrats being able to hold up, remember the possibility space is smaller for Democrats. And everyone be prepared to back them up from the coming deluge of "Democrats voted AGAINST THE TROOPS" that is carried through the rightwing media human centipede (and its MSM segments, of course).
WASHINGTON (AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that he is rolling out a new screening program for “testosterone deficiency” among troops, calling it necessary to allow them to operate at their “absolute best.”
The new screenings will be conducted annually as part of service members’ required medical screenings for those 30 and older, he said. Troops under 30 can volunteer to be tested. In a video released on social media, Hegseth simply refers to troops, though it appears he is referring only to testing men in uniform for hormone irregularities.
When asked about what conditions Hegseth was looking to address with the new policy, the Pentagon referred to Hegseth’s remarks in the video that talked about keeping troops “strong, resilient and capable” and that the rigors of the modern battlefield demand “maximum psychological and mental readiness.”
Fun to image Hegseth like a mad scientist strapped to a bed, demanding more and more steroids be pumped into his veins, until his genitals explode and he’s reduced to a ball of hair.
Just pandering to the insecurity they've spent decades building in themselves. The right is entirely too fixated on testosterone levels and sperm count. It's not healthy.
Someone gimme some insider info on which of those quack-ass "men's health" clinics are about to get a big ol' infusion of public money so I can make wise investment decisions, plzkthx.
I went to Jr High with Doug Flutie. For real. I sat next to him in Cormack's Advanced Math class. He was a school friend of mine and a decent kid at that time. It's a small world after all.
He was speaking metaphorically. Sure, he'd have another stroke if he even tried to pronounce "metaphorically," but he was speaking metaphorically just the same!
They don't have to do what he says - and all state prosecutors should (were our system working properly, which it clearly is not) warn those "agents" that if they follow his suggestions they risk being prosecuted for murder
People need to STOP TREATING ANY PRONOUNCEMENT FROM DONALD AS IF IT HAD ANY KIND OF LEGAL EFFECT
Especially since most of the time he is lying anyway
Come on -- everyone here is presumed to have that level of discernment
That right! It's just like how the moon is more important than the sun because the sun comes out in the daytime when there's already a bunch of light, whereas the moon comes out a night when it's dark and the moonlight is needed.
This live thing right now is crazypants. Just fucking crazypants.

If your administration is collecting phones to hunt leakers, maybe the leaks aren’t your biggest problem.
Hahahahaha! I wouldn't be surprised if the leaker was stupid enough to use a GI phone. I mean, that would be way stupid, but < gestures at world >.
Of course it would never occur to ANYBODY to get a burner phone to do your leaking from.
LOL good.

What I need to know is: is elon losing money and how much?
He's losing money, and while it's an absolutely silly amount of money, it's kind of like going from infinity trillion dollars to infinity 900 billion dollars, so unfortunately he isn't really going to notice.
And how long until investors realize that he's worthless and he loses everything? Please?
well, he was a trillionaire for just a little while. . .
DISGUSTING!
He was swaying with eyes closed to the Greenwood song.

Calling it music is a stretch.

I have one.

It's been over 45 years since I studied Marx and Engels in university and I canna remember shite.
To be fair, most of Marx' work is rather forgettable, and reading Engels makes me feel like my brain wants to escape my skull.
Let's just say that I'm not the biggest fan of many of these old, bearded, German, assholes.
LMMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speaking of Pentagon spending, FFS:

he wants to do what the nazis did in ww2, juice the troops with steroids
Fun to image Hegseth like a mad scientist strapped to a bed, demanding more and more steroids be pumped into his veins, until his genitals explode and he’s reduced to a ball of hair.

"These guys are fucking weird."
A way of weeding out trans men? A justification for roiding the men? Probably both.

Tell us you are worried about whether you are a "real man" or not without telling us that you are worried about being a "real man."

Look to see where those whacky Trump kids serve on the board . . .
There ya go! :D
Can't Pete Thiel sponsor a military blood sport of some sort.
Sure, it would significantly reduce the ranks, but Hic'seth and his daddy figure would enjoy it . . .
Trans people can't get gender affirming care but we can do this.

That *is* gender-affirming care.
Only the CORRECT gender, though.

Thank you, Dr. Hegseth, you fucking NAZI quack.
It's recommended by Gen. Doug Flutie and Adm. Frank Thomas.
I went to Jr High with Doug Flutie. For real. I sat next to him in Cormack's Advanced Math class. He was a school friend of mine and a decent kid at that time. It's a small world after all.
That will definitely help us win in modern warfare!
Please tell me that's The Onion and not AP!
Sorry to disappoint. Now about those women in the armed forces...
On average though, female servicepersons have significantly less beards amongst them . . .
FOTUS said that we nuked Iran.

That ass says lots of things. They're rarely true.
An important detail!
He was speaking metaphorically. Sure, he'd have another stroke if he even tried to pronounce "metaphorically," but he was speaking metaphorically just the same!
He said what he said. It lives on the internet forever.
Umm... where the fuck are the "adults"?!
An interesting question is if he ordered a nuke, but cooler heads ignored the order.
They're all waiting for him to kick off so they can get his power.
Trump hasn't even turned the military to creating the Greater North American Co-Prosperity Sphere yet. Wonder what that might cost?
Coming from the great American posterior . . .
Posterior trumpets!

"Greater North American Co-Prosperity Sphere" has too many syllyllyllables.
Plus he can't actually say several of those words any more, thanks to the dementia.
"Eh reebeedo ahhhhhh!"
Trump overturns ICE temporary stand down on vehicle stops.
You know who else micromanaged a war? Hint: he also had a bunker.
He doesn't really "overturn" it
They don't have to do what he says - and all state prosecutors should (were our system working properly, which it clearly is not) warn those "agents" that if they follow his suggestions they risk being prosecuted for murder

I know it's hard -- because he talks so much and all the time --
but I feel like those of us who are listening closely really need to be better at making a *consistent* effort
"Murder sends a strong message"
Source?
Trump might get everyone to stop driving if he makes the gas expensive enough and being murdered while driving a sanctioned sport . . .
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
But in the end, he killed the top baddie.
Trump *always* makes the most stooopitt decision. This is a physical law.
Those repubs getting comfortable with hating trump should be doing so in public, but since they are cowards, they won't.
Hell, we're just starting to see democrats hating trump. I'm not going to hold my breath on the republicans.
Rancid dickfucks are limpdicks.

That right! It's just like how the moon is more important than the sun because the sun comes out in the daytime when there's already a bunch of light, whereas the moon comes out a night when it's dark and the moonlight is needed.

(*): That's when the Sun moves between the Earth and the Moon. Quite spectacular, I hear.
Sure!!
