I’m sure Markwayne, Squinch, Caleb, Nutsack Gary, 2-Finger Earl and Other Gary of the “Idaho Free White People’s Brotherhood Junkyard & Shootin‘ Range Meth Camp Bund“ will greet their new neighbors with open arms

Or a fertilizer truck bomb with “DYE ARABS!” painted in red on the door

Maybe both.

Qatar to build air force facility on U.S. base in Idaho

Laura Loomer and other MAGA figures expressed shock and outrage, but the deal was long in the making.

According to Oliver Darcy’s Status, goofy fumbledick Adam O’Neal, who took over the WaPo‘s opinion page, has big plans for a podcast hosted by … wait for it … sentient white noise machine Megan McArdle.

I am both horrified and amused. Mostly amused. Like, 90 percent amused. Maybe more…

Pam Bondi in court:

“I”
[looks down at notes]
“…object, your…”
[looks at notes again, shuffles papers]
“…honor.”
[pumps fist, high fives co-counsel]
“I fucking nailed…”
[stares blankly]
“…it.”
[hair flip]

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

It’s hard to find much evidence of a true youth movement rallying behind Kirk beside the conservatives who were already fans.

Instead, we see a top-down effort from powerful people to use a controversial man’s death to create a cult of personality where one didn't exist. trib.al/pAP5Egz

Maybe Noem needs to tell DHS Chief of Staff With Benefits Corey Lewandowski no more “butt stuff” until the raging hellfire of those UTI’s subside.

Also, Kristi murders puppies. Never forget that.

One thing that comes through awfully clearly in these ICE videos is how many of these goons gravitated toward the job because being able to assault people with impunity is a big thrill for them.

I’d be very interested in reading a story about why Vought’s wife Mary took the kids and divorced him in 2023.

Is it irresponsible to speculate, etc etc etc

“Everyone still remembers when he said he wanted to cause maximum trauma to federal workers."

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent."

The people living near Trump's "grim reaper" of government cuts have put up signs letting him know they stand with federal workers.

If Jeffries was good at this stuff, he’d call Vance “Vice President Couch Fucker” every time he’s on TV and make the networks bleep him… but too late.

It would have all fallen apart if, in that brief silence after he said “war department,” someone had said just loud enough, “Jesus, what a fucking asshole” and ruined the moment for him.
