Fuck the New York Times. Now and Forever.

They printed an editorial carping about Trump's politicization of the FBI. (Free to read).

Trump didn't hide any of this. He made it clear all along that he was going to use the might of the Federal government, including the FBI and the DoJ, to persecute and exact retribution on his political enemies, real or imaginary. But all they could carp about during the election was "zOMG!!1! Biden's old!!!1!". And they were so, so mad that he wouldn't talk to them.

Anyone with a quarter of a working prefrontal cortex could have seen this coming. Rosemary Kennedy could have seen this coming. But not the NYT, they were willfully blind. The paper's management and owners are prime example of the saying that the only difference between an elitist and a white supremacist is money. They were fine with Trump's grifting and passing tax custs and everything else as long as it didn't imact them. But now they're seeing their gardeners and maids and contractos being hauled away and they're now into hand-wring about that Trump is doing and they are so worried.

Well, fuck them. Fuck them up their asses with the Pulitzer Prizes in their display case. Do that daily and until the Universe ends.

Whiskey Pete Hegseth is a Russian Tool. Prove Me Wrong.

Which, I am confident, you cannot do.

The Defense Department held up a shipment of U.S. weapons for Ukraine this week over what officials said were concerns about its low stockpiles. But an analysis by senior military officers found that the aid package would not jeopardize the American military’s own ammunition supplies, according to three U.S. officials.

The move to halt the weapons shipment blindsided the State Department, members of Congress, officials in Kyiv and European allies, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the matter.

Critics of the decision included Republicans and Democrats who support aiding Ukraine’s fight against Russia. A leading House Democrat, Adam Smith of Washington, said it was disingenuous of the Pentagon to use military readiness to justify halting aid when the real reason appears to be simply to pursue an agenda of cutting off American aid to Ukraine.

This Administration is shot through with people that range from useful idiots serving Putin to outright traitors.

That’s OK, Mr President. We Hate Your Fucking Guts, Too.

President Trump slammed Democrats in Congress who voted against his “big, beautiful bill” that the House passed Thursday and was sent to his desk for signing Friday.

“But all of the things that we’ve given, and they wouldn’t vote. Only because they hate Trump. But I hate them, too. You know that? I really do, I hate them. I cannot stand them, because I really believe they hate our country, you want to know the truth,” the president told the crowd.

Yes, we hate your fucking guts.

• We hate your racism and distain for everyone who isn't of white European ancestry, what your mentor called "Aryans".
• We hate your  disregard for anyone who is not as wealthy as you are.
• We hate your grifting and scheming to make every possible buck from being president.
• We hate your pushing our country from a republic to a dictatorship.
• We hate your penchant for destroying the alliances that have served this country so well for eighty years.
• We hate your slavish devotion to Vladimir Putin.
• We hate your destroying every mechanism of American soft power around the world.
• We hate that you put an antiscience insane crank in charge of our nation's health.
• We hate that you have put feeding your narcissistic insecurities above everything, except your bank accounts. 

'Zat enough?

Because It's Friday

249 Years Ago

In March of 1776, the Continental Army, under the command of Gen. Washington, fortified Dorchester Heights (now part of Boston) with cannon brought overland from Fort Ticonderoga. The British Army almost immediately realized that they could not hold on in Boston, and so they evacuated the city. This was the first major victory of the war. Thomas Jefferson and the Second Continental Congress got to work to declare independence.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America

When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

DeSantis’s Dachau is All About Good Old Florida Corruption

A major DeSantis donor is profiting bigly off of building and running his new concentration camp.

DeSantis used "emergency suthority" to bypass state provurement laws and oversight, such as it is, in order to use a shovel to ladle out state money to a clown that "donated" large amounts to his campaign.

It's good old Florida corruption.
