Just to be clear, Kent is absolving Donald of responsibility for the war and trying to blame it on the Jews, that is, Israel. It's standard antisemitic stuff that you would expect from this guy.
Trump wants to bribe energy companies to kill wind energy
Burn, baby, burn. - Liz Dye
Trump: "The wind -- you know, you're watching television and you wanna watch and your beautiful wife, our First Lady, says, 'I'm sorry darling, you can't watch tonight, the wind has gone down.' But I want to watch myself on television! I want to watch myself debate."
The attacks on solar panels and electric cars can be chalked up to his belief in the holy gospel of hydrocarbons. But the windmill thing is personal.
As reported by the New York Times, Trump hopes to bribe energy companies not to erect wind turbines. During a self-inflicted energy crisis, when gas prices are soaring, he wants to take hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money and use it to set back the wind energy industry for a decade.
This proposal aims to neutralize that advantage by disappearing both the permits and the preparations the company took in reliance on them. Trump’s loathing for wind turbines is so all-encompassing that he hopes to buy TotalEnergy off with taxpayer dollars and ensure that, even if a Democrat succeeds him, the projects will have to start from scratch.
The federal government buying back its own permits because the current occupant of the White House lost a lawsuit in Scotland twenty years ago and never got over it.
Even with my 70 cent discount per gallon, I paid 40 cents more per gallon today than I did two months ago. (Yes, it's a luxury to mostly work at home & only go places I want to)
The Pentagon, the FBI, the CIA/NSA, et al--turns out they've no fuckin' clue what they're doing. They're lethally incompetent and have been all along. Jeezus, that's nation-ruining levels of dysfunction, and they're incapable of comprehending there's a problem. *That's* what's really terrifying.

‘Consider this our filibuster’: House GOP doesn’t buy Thune’s ‘show’
More House Republicans threatening to kill any Senate bills until action on election measure
Less than 24 hours after Senate Majority Leader John Thune kicked off his attempt to satisfy those demanding passage of a voter identification bill, House Republicans were already saying they weren’t fooled.
“What’s happening right now in the Senate is a SHOW VOTE,” Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., a leader of the House push to pass the bill, posted Wednesday. The Senate is “doing this to try and get around having to invoke the standing filibuster but I won’t let them fool you. These two things are not the same!” she wrote later in the day.
A growing number of House Republicans are vowing to kill any bills coming from the Senate until the chamber passes what’s known as the SAVE America Act, which would require people to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID at the polls.
They want Thune, R-S.D., to try to get the bill to Trump’s desk via a simple majority by forcing a “talking filibuster,” which could hold up the Senate floor for months. The debate the Senate began on Tuesday is procedurally not the same thing, and Thune is expected to eventually seek to end debate by moving to invoke cloture, which requires 60 votes. That would require buy-in from some Democrats, given the chamber’s 53-47 partisan split.
The world is watching what happens when America rolls up on a country in full "Fuck you."
And I'm betting they're not thinking, "Superpower."
Taiwan is probably shitting itself right now.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's claims early Thursday came under question after an American F-35 fighter jet had to make an emergency landing after coming under suspected Iranian fire during a combat mission over Iran.
Haley Britzky, CNN national security reporter, said that the incident was still under investigation but sources were saying Iranian fire had caused the fighter jet to land. This was reportedly the first known time that Iran has hit a U.S. aircraft. The pilot was reportedly in stable condition and the aircraft landed safely.
"Secretary Hegseth has come out repeatedly over the last several couple of weeks at these press briefings claiming very decisive victory," Britzky said.
"He said today, the U.S. is winning decisively against Iran, that the air defenses have been flattened, pointing to very high percentages dropping of these ballistic missile and drone attacks," Britzky said. "We, of course, still don't know exactly what happened here and what hit this aircraft, but it does raise questions about the effectiveness of these strikes if Iran is still able to do this and target a U.S. aircraft in this way."
I remember a few years back, Stephen Colbert explaining North Korean missile capabilities. He mentioned the "Taepodong," which he revealed translates into English as "Kind Of Penis."
Again with the lack of attention to phrasing in middle-school-boy English.
"Things Are Suddenly Looking Incredibly Bad for Trump’s Social Media Company"
"President Donald Trump’s struggling Truth Social social network, traded on the stock market as Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), revealed earlier this month that it had burned through a staggering $712.1 million last year — while only making $3.7 million."
I believe the symbol on NASDAQ is "DJT." And it's lost nearly 6% of its share value just today, down to $8.60/share. Its recent peak was late January, at around $14.80. It's been bouncing around in the $10 range for the past three weeks or so.
I still don't understand how it has any share price value at all, and it seems to be heading toward its true market value.
I was about to comment on how it’s always interesting to see how people change their look when they start making Executive Branch money. It clarifies their priorities.
This is funny. Someone matched up magats to Disney characters. I think this is harsh on the Disney characters.

That has to be Russell Vought's doing as well
Donald provides the revenge motive, but that evil troll sitting in OMB is responsible for the mechanics bc Donald could never
"This proposal aims to neutralize that advantage by disappearing both the permits and the preparations the company took in reliance on them. "
They may get sued for breach of contract, though
Hard
And of course US taxpayers would pay for it
I hope someone official overseas figures out how to sue them in their personal capacity
How about instead of showing the price of gas, gas station signs say "Iran increasingly desperate?"
Even with my 70 cent discount per gallon, I paid 40 cents more per gallon today than I did two months ago. (Yes, it's a luxury to mostly work at home & only go places I want to)
Are we Mission Accomplished yet?

Translation:

The entire administration is giving a masterclass in blame shifting.
Is she still employed?

This stupid country dealt with the intelligence bureaucracy by creating another bureaucracy – the Department of Homeland Security.

Has Schumer ever failed to deliver a cloture vote? It's one of the things about his leadership that drives me crazy.
He is so worthless and thinks he's all that.
Post's up!
Buck up folks, we got this

Wonder what's up at Wonk Central? This post has been up for over three hours now.
Ha, it worked! New post is up now.
For some reason we’re down from eight articles a day to five, and they get spaced out weird.
Rebecca said they were going to try this. More content but fewer articles.
There's a new one up, but trigger warning.
I'm feeling right spaced out myself, too.
Are you a space cowboy? Because I wasn't ready for that.
I'm a spaced-out cowboy...
At four I'm calling a doctor.
However, you guys seizing the means of production has kept me interested and for that I thank you.
”Why is that if the President can determine and ignore what you're doing, why do you guys even have a job? Why do you even advise them?
More of this. I ask myself this every day. This is dereliction of duty, for which they should both be impeached, (Gabbard and Ratcliffe.)
I see waste and fraud.
The world is watching what happens when America rolls up on a country in full "Fuck you."
And I'm betting they're not thinking, "Superpower."

"stable" doesn't necessarily equal "good" condition.
I mean, "dead" is a relatively stable condition
Yep.
You can be at a plateau near death and sometimes you still get listed as stable.
And that's just regular people with no PR element behind them.
Lie upon lie with no end in sight. China is waiting to hit Taiwan with the US being so fucked up.
Taiwan doesn't have F-35s.
They have F-16s and F-CK-1 (which are basically twin engined F-16s) .
China actually commissioned planes they named the Fuck One Ching-kuo?
Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
Fighter Ching Kuo... but yeah. Hee hee.
I remember a few years back, Stephen Colbert explaining North Korean missile capabilities. He mentioned the "Taepodong," which he revealed translates into English as "Kind Of Penis."
Again with the lack of attention to phrasing in middle-school-boy English.
Type O'Dong!
It's what Corey left on Kristi's sex plane.
I mean more the fact that, "The US isn't going to be able to protect us from shit."
"Even if they wanted to, which they don't, unless Daddy Dementia 'gits payed.'
Then how does Iran keep blowing up refineries in other countries?
Maybe their God is better than Jesus?
If they ain't griftin' they're sycophantin'.
It's grifters and/or sycophants all the way down.
Fuck Trump.
OT: just headline and part of the article

But does that count all the money they get from selling user data and the constant money beg barrage to users to donate or buy something?
suddenly?
You misspelled "farty"
Otherwise no notes
They could only pump and dump that one for so long.

Count on it.

Now, WHAT are we paying her this for???
Definitely not getting the taxpayers' money worth.
