Ryan Zinke says "Trump is a rich guy who needs fancy things" and "He's a billionaire businessman from NY that doesn't sleep in a sleeping bag overnight" "Hey, this is a great plane."
So you're okay with the rich guy that needs fancy things let a foreign military move onto a US air base on US soil?

Steve Daines said "You can't beat free." about the Qatar 747 "gift". Nothing, especially from a foreign government, is free, Steve. A few years ago, you were a non-stop shrill alarmist about a Chinese spy balloon over the US. What do you think about a foreign military on a US air base on US soil?

Because that's what kind of soulless assholes they are.

Maybe Mike Johnson is worried about his name being in the Epstein files. He sure seems to be going out of his way to make sure that Rep. Thomas Massie's discharge petition never comes to the floor for a vote.
Prove me wrong, Mikey. Release the Epstein files.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, we seem to get the same response quite often as well.

Sorry for you and your colleagues. And sorry that the FS has sunk to this level.

Told her he should have been working as a senator, looking for pathways forward and solutions, not bragging on social media about home schooling from his DC office. I read her what Tim said, and she told me I was wrong. I told her I was reading his words verbatim. She hung up.

Called Sheehy's office today and told the staffer that I wasn't happy that hours before the gov't shutdown, Timmy was posting on social media about home schooling his kids in his senate office. Told her it wasn't appropriate use of his time or federal office space.

Of course they did. Since iSSe (ICE) is offering a $50K hiring bonus for new iSSe recruits, maybe Homan thought they were offering HIM a hiring bonus. Yea, no, I don't believe that either.

If a bear did attack zinke, and a bite was involved, the bear would still be licking its ass trying to get the taste out of its mouth.

But no surprise that Patel is making it sound like Robinson is in custody because of him and his minions.

One could almost come up with a conspiracy theory that what happened today was an escalation by the DOJ, FBI, Stephen Miller, etal to distract attention away from the Epstein files. With the current regime, I don't think anything is too far fetched.

Pat @pat406.bsky.social · Sep 11

I'm going to guess No.

When someone is a total ass, it's very easy for them to look like a total ass. Case in point, Troy Downing.

Not sure why we are so quiet here. Just looked on the old blue bird site, and it seems like a fair number of people have migrated back there. That would be a tough thing for me to do.
Hopefully you got some decent rain over your way in the last day or so? We're at 0.44 inches since yesterday.

I feel the same way, but don't know that going back would be a good thing to do.
Hope you're well, Mary.
