Trump's Rats Don't Know Whether To Abandon Ship Or Fight Each Other. Why Not Both? Wonkette One-A-Day, Feb. 13
It was one crazy Friday The 13th at Yr Wonkette, but at least the young fellow with the mask covering his face turned out only to be a psychotic mass murderer, not one of Trump’s ICE goons, so that was a relief.
The day began, as they always do around here, with TABS:
Evan brought us even more disturbing coverage of Pam Bondi’s disturbing tantrum before the House Judiciary Committee.
Robyn had the sobering reminder that even the rich-ish and famous-ish aren’t necessarily able to get the healthcare we all deserve. What a country!
Dok looked into Pete Hegseth’s embarrassing attempt to play out the plot of the 1983 hit “99 Luftballons,” but with a freaking laser gun. Unlike some one-hit wonders, he just won’t go away.
Marcie made sense — insofar as it’s possible — of the Wall Street Journal’s very weird revelations about Kristi Noem and her Homeland Security Blanket, and Corey Lewandowski’s demand that he receive a badge and a gun, just like Elvis.
Gary found out where the last bits of funding for USAID went: Not to food for hungry children, but for gross Project 2025 creep Russel Vought’s security detail.
And we ended the week with a cocktail, or at least with GROG, me hearties:
Have yourself a good weekend! Be kind to each other!

Isn't two times 13 equals twenty-six (today is Friday, February 13, 2026, 2/13/26) some kind of pseudo-religious conservative incantation about the end of the world and transgender for everyone?
I turned 74 today, so I’m guessing my Friday the 13th probably went better than most people’s.
