"the FBI director used taxpayer funds in a government shutdown to fly his country singer GF to sing at a Hulk Hogan-founded wrestling event aired on Fox Nation" is not the flashiest Trump-era headline but pound for pound it can compete with any contender

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

This sounds very practical, but won't anyone think about the poor pedophiles? One of the consequences of ending the shutdown would be that Johnson would need a new excuse to keep the House closed so that the Trumpstein files don't come out.

The nice thing about this, is that it's ok if everyone has a different priority. One person can prioritize mitigation, and his neighbors can stick with continuing to prioritize prevention. There's no "instead of" vs "some of" conflict, if you take a step back and look at the gestalt. win/win

I don't see what's so upsetting about this. He sees that he (and we) have lost the warming war (too many people are working directly against all our interests) so instead of trying to sweep the rising tide back into the ocean, he's focusing his efforts on what he thinks is the next-best thing.

Indiana is _right there_. In 2004, I briefly drove into Gary while searching for a convenience store, yet I am alive to tell this tale.

It's creepy how important [TV] ads still are. What were we thinking, letting advertising budgets become *The* most important part of political campaigns? By continuing to see ads, we're _making_ them _need_ money, but then we're surprised when they sell us out.

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

I still can't figure out how Trump's anti-antifa cops missed that gigantic "John Hancock" so prominently displayed on Antifa's founding document.

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

So we are supposed to believe that Trump had proof that the survivors of his latest attack were narco terrorists, but then he let them go home?

We shouldn't ignore our strained relationship with Japan or else they could end up bombing Pearl Harbor. It may yet happen.

We should also put more effort into our space program to mitigate the risk of rivals such as the Soviet Union getting there first. It may yet happen.
