Trump is going to say things about naming the big ship after himself, and they are not going to be gracious or mature. You can take this to the bank, kids.
There is some superstitious voodoo shit that you're supposed to do to change the name of a ship. Sailors are the most superstitious characters in the military. Probably because they're always floating on top of potential death.
i think there is a good chance that disney has actually made a Black Pearl Harbor without any awareness other than marketing and lindsayinhell visited it several times .
"Also I am pretty sure we all need to buy Treasury bonds?" Investing in debt owed by the guy who managed multiple casinos into bankruptcy? Its a bold strategy, Cotton, lets see if it pays off...
Regarding the re-naming of the USS Doris Miller, general harassment of non-white or non-male service members, firing brass for not being a Hegseth rubber stamp, and the failure to properly feed and supply ships on deployment, then sneering at their families: 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Good barely-still-morning. Isn’t it wonderful that we now have machines that can feed us … even just what we already ate? YouGoogle reminds me I like this. It’s about some mythical country called, I dunno, I-Am-You-Are-We-Are, I think.
I admit it, as a liberal arts student, I am not as good at science as I would like to be. But this helipad nonsense right in front of the White House? Isn't that too close to the building and isn't it possible that the power of a helicopter could do some damage? I mean, obviously it would if the helicopter hit the building but I'm talking about sound waves and all that. Just doesn't seem like a good idea, especially since it is just being done because Stinky is a lazy fuck who doesn't want to walk anymore.
Whoo boy this one is a winner: “We want the Smithsonian to reflect real America and not something that a historian dreamed up.”..Said to an institution whose very mission it is to show history.
These asshole should start their own crazy wacky timeline of insanity museum. Have people walking with Dinosaurs, remnants of Noah's Ark, the real 10 commandments on stone (okay just a facsimile thereof). What a bunch of looneys.
"The reality show Chrisleys, since being pardoned means somehow that they never broke the law, are now suing their criminal defense attorneys for $25 million for losing the case whose Trump pardon shows they were innocent all along!" I am not a lawyer, but I thought that one of the things that you had to do to get a pardon was admit culpability, to take responsibility for your actions. Do we have no process to rescind a pardon if the dumbass motherfucker refuses to meet the most basic requirements of their pardon? Is my initial premise completely wrong?
My understanding from multiple questions put to my fave gaggle of lawyers, the Sisters in Law*, is that there are no laws restricting who the prez can pardon, or a way to make a prez rescind a pardon. Apparently the pardon "rules" were really just guidelines and best practice over the decades, and Trump predictably tossed that shit out the window.

Swaning around in the hed gif. More info and a deeper dive (har) into habitat specialization here: https://martiniambassador.substack.com/p/upended-swan-buns

Have a good weekend!
Tails and Tabs. A great weekend combo.
I adore waterbirds!
One, two, three dunk ..... up for air, deep breath, I won, I won! I want a redo, I want a redo.
I LOVE swans, even though they're scary and evil.
And the article is wonderful, Martini--I'm saving it! Learned something today!
Apparently they taste atrocious, too.
Aw thanks, that means a lot!
"I TOLD you about the swans, that they live in the park."
Please. Need a NSFW label for juvenile swan butts.
Too late. You have been fired for viewing inappropriate content at work.
Kirk’s Khan voice: TAAAAAAAAAAAAABS!
I came for the Tabs and was rewarded with fuzzy cygnet butts.
It's not the men of the Second Armored Division doing their famous close order swanning about?

It's also not Pistol Pete prancercising.

High in the blue above
Swifts whirl and call—
We are down a-dabbling
Up tails all!
-Wind in the Willows
A little dab'll do ya.
I love when ducks and swans go bums up. I'm weirdly fascinated and tickled at the same time.
What could be cuter than signet butts?
Dabbling with waterfowl, now?
What you did there, I see it.
I couldn't beat a good blues song this morning.
May the sun shine on your back door today.
Diving Duck Blues
Song by Taj Mahal ‧ 1968
Lyrics
If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
Honey, if the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
Ooh y'all, I'd dive upon the bottom, honey, and I'd never come up
Well, the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday
You know the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday
Well now, the sun's gonna shine on my back door someday
The wind's gonna rise and blow my blues away
Put your loving arms around me, honey, like the circle around the sun
Put your loving arms around me, baby, like the circle around the sun
Put your loving arms around me like the circle around the sun
Oh, I'm gonna love you, baby, honey, till my moo cows come home
My easy rider won't give me no rest
Well, my easy rider sure won't give me no rest
My easy rider sure won't give me no rest
She's got my heart a-wondering like the wild geese in the West
Well, I'm sitting on my front porch, sunning in my old rocking chair
I'm sitting on my front porch, sunning in my old rocking chair
Sitting on my front porch, sunning in my old rocking chair
I'm gonna rock, rock, rock, rock, rock
Rock, rock 'cause I just don't care
If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
If the river was whiskey and I was a diving duck
Ooh y'all, I'd dive upon the bottom, baby, and I'd never come up
Dive upon the bottom, baby, and I'd never come up
I'd dive upon the bottom, baby, and I'd never come up
I'd dive upon the bottom, baby, and I'd never come up

Didn't Arlo Guthrie do a version of this as well?
There are a number of versions. It is an old song. Arlo probably did.
I love this! Excellent song to start up the weekend, too.
Damnit! I know I put my keys down here somewhere.
Hey Martini, je vous souhaite une excellente fin de semaine et un très bon repos. Bottoms up!
Wut wut?
Babby Swan Butts!
It’s their cygnature move.
Ouch! That's gonna leave a mark.🤪
(well played, friend!)

The entirety of Chrisley's former attorney's legal response should read "Really? You can't be serious."
We're reaching a point where, as several have noted, The Onion can't keep up. It's hard to parody something as batty as Trump.
Isn't it supposed to be super unlucky to rename a boat?
There is some superstitious voodoo shit that you're supposed to do to change the name of a ship. Sailors are the most superstitious characters in the military. Probably because they're always floating on top of potential death.
I think they're saying it's not named yet. But it's ludicrous anyway.

“raping and molesting kind goes back to at least Reagan”, everything ALWAYS leads back to THAT GODDAMN RONALD REAGAN

TGIF Tab's 😎 💯👍
that's the thing about pardons, they don't actually exonerate you of the crimes committed.
Wait, so if I can see AI now, does that mean I’m in hell? Well that explains a few things
Don't fall for that "the AC isn't working today, sorry." It's a scam. 🔥🔥🔥
Good barely-still-morning. Isn’t it wonderful that we now have machines that can feed us … even just what we already ate? YouGoogle reminds me I like this. It’s about some mythical country called, I dunno, I-Am-You-Are-We-Are, I think.

Wow. I could live somewhere like that, I think.
I admit it, as a liberal arts student, I am not as good at science as I would like to be. But this helipad nonsense right in front of the White House? Isn't that too close to the building and isn't it possible that the power of a helicopter could do some damage? I mean, obviously it would if the helicopter hit the building but I'm talking about sound waves and all that. Just doesn't seem like a good idea, especially since it is just being done because Stinky is a lazy fuck who doesn't want to walk anymore.
Or actually *can't* walk more than a few steps without visibly showing fatigue, thus destroying his macho image...
Whoo boy this one is a winner: “We want the Smithsonian to reflect real America and not something that a historian dreamed up.”..Said to an institution whose very mission it is to show history.
These asshole should start their own crazy wacky timeline of insanity museum. Have people walking with Dinosaurs, remnants of Noah's Ark, the real 10 commandments on stone (okay just a facsimile thereof). What a bunch of looneys.
cf. the "Time Masheen" in Idiocracy.
Dump tried for July 4th. Nobody showed.
I would like to see Helen. Cause a 1,000 ships is a lot of ships. And now we have Only Fans.
Strangely "a bunch of loonies" is a historical constant we'll find throughout human civilization...
