It's cute when Jake Tapper tries to be a real journalist. Too bad he chose a performance clown like Stefanik to do it with. But that's why she's on his show.
Elise Stefanik can eat shit. She's an obnoxious demagogue and bully whose big deal is preening about forcing Ivy League college presidents out of their jobs over "antisemitism." Meanwhile, her BFF Trump keeps dangerously incompetent dipshits like Patel and Hegseth in their important, consequential jobs because he refuses to "give the media a scalp."
We need to stiffen our spines and start pushing back. Those colleges should have told Stefanik to fuck herself and if she tried to screw with their funding, they'd see her in court.
It's surreal to watch someone in the govt so blatantly attempt to gaslight the public, just desperately reiterating "nope, nope, nope, don't believe your lying eyes".
PoliticsGirl - I'm so Fucking Mad. Auto draft and water shortages.
The US plans to implement automatic draft registration for eligible men aged 18-26 by December 2026. It passed in the National Defense Authorization Act in December.
How is this different from the status quo? I'm kinda old but by law I had to register for Selective Service when I turned 18. I think I had 6 months before they'd "come'n git me". I also had to register by filling out a form and mailing it (I'm not certain but I think I had to go to the Post Office; they didn't just mail it to me automatically).
Given they voted against their own self-interests, I think it's foolish to expect them to suddenly obtain enough self-awareness to recognize the consequences of their actions.
Apollo v Artemis: How the Earth changed in 58 years
"The Earth was the only thing in the entire Universe that had any colour, it was a remarkable sight – we're very, very fortunate to live on this planet."
This Earthrise picture, as it was soon named, became one of the most reproduced images of all time. Showing our planet in the context of the lunar wasteland and vast oblivion of space, it galvanised the environmental movement, leading to the creation of Earth Day in 1970. (Read more about the 1968 photo that changed the world).
Fifty-eight years later, Nasa astronauts have taken another striking photo of the Earth dipping below a barren lunar landscape: "Earthset". During their fly-by of the Moon earlier this month, the Artemis II crew captured the new image of our fragile blue planet in the vast expanse of space. (We don't know who took the picture this time because the four astronauts have chosen not to credit photos to individuals but to the whole crew).
In geological terms, just over half a century is barely the shadow of a blink of an eye. But climate change has altered the Earth's surface significantly over the past six decades. Experts tell the BBC about the visible differences between the Earthrise and Earthset photos and what these tell us about our planet then and now.
"I think we are pretty confident based on the observations but also the numerical models to assign probably 90-95% of the change to human activities," Heil says.
And potash - major fertilizer ingredient - is almost all imported. Like 90 to 97% of what America consumes is impacted by stupid tariffs and therefore more expensive than it should be.
"bunch of energy scientists going missing or dead" seems to be some kind of a right wing conspiracy theory. I've seen no reporting from a local paper quoting family members about a missing person or where they are missing from.
Speaking of dear Ms. Srefanik, this was hilarious:

What “missing scientists and people who have turned up dead”?
Yeah that was my question. This deserves a little attention.
What happens if you call a "creative negotiator's" bluff?

I thought Stefanik had finally crawled under her rock for good, but I guess grifters gotta grift!
Stefanik was there to hawk her shitty book criticizing Ivy League universities
Ah. I was wondering why her pathetic ass was back haunting my news feed.

Speaking of, some genius is bringing Chris Rufo to my town to talk about the future of higher Ed. Does anyone have access to rotten tomatoes?
Put them in the oven for a bit.
That Stefanik - she is a snake
It's surreal to watch someone in the govt so blatantly attempt to gaslight the public, just desperately reiterating "nope, nope, nope, don't believe your lying eyes".
Stefanik: Trump didn't mean what he said
Wright: Everything's gonna return to normal soon
Rethug governance
Or next year. What's 7 months of higher gas prices?

How old is Barron?
(Old enough to be fair game, I think.)
Looksmaxxing goals gonna change. More pliers less moisturizer.
Kind of odd for a president that ran on peace, oui/non?
Wonder how those 18-26 will feel about this when they find out? Signed up for something they had no clue to.
Given they voted against their own self-interests, I think it's foolish to expect them to suddenly obtain enough self-awareness to recognize the consequences of their actions.
This hits them between the eyes especially with all the warring going on.
Oui.
that's why God gave us two kidneys donchaknow?
WRIGHT: I don’t know. That could happen later this year. That might happen until next year. But prices have likely peaked.
Ah yes, the Rumsfeld approach:
"We know where they are [Iraq's weapons of mass destruction]. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat."
And monkeys could fly out of my butt. Stay tuned.
Schwing!
but what about the known unknowns?
Porter Goss also had an "excellent idea" of where Osama bin Laden was in 2005.
Wow, THAT is a blast from the past.
Some examples of idiocy one never forgets.

see,
this
this is lost in allllll the fucking noise and drama
AMOC collapse and crop failures and shit like that is....pending
[thank fuck yrrrrrr smoking lamp is lit allllll day today yeeees hooraaaaaaay]
Doing a test run, as ~20% of fertilizer transits via Hormuz.
And potash - major fertilizer ingredient - is almost all imported. Like 90 to 97% of what America consumes is impacted by stupid tariffs and therefore more expensive than it should be.
So. Much. Winning.
Don't we have literally huge pools of pigshit? Of all the issues I feel like we can maybe solve the fertilizer shortage.

Look for "Alternative 3" online.......
No thanks.
The generals keeping TFG out of the situation room is the kindest thing they could do for him: giving him plausible deniability.
No one wants to do the CPR if he codes.
Do they also give him toy planes and building blocks to play with?
That’s why he has all those miniatures of the Arc de Trumph that he keeps showing off.
I picture Donny Boy flying a toy plane into a bridge abutment, whilst making splodey noises.
I guess they're fine with taking all the blame?
They were always going to get the blame.
That's why they kept him out of the room.
