Jesus. Forget the national guard. Sounds like the only solution is to send in Snake Plissken to extract donnie before it’s too late!

Damnit, I was really hoping sandwich-throwing guy got away, to live on as a symbol of the resistance. Instead they caught him, and they’re throwing the book at him, as a symbol of the resistance.

Sly doesn’t surprise me. But Condorman did!

Speaking of the KC: way down the list of important matters, as far as damage from this administration is concerned, I know: but I got an email announcing the new jazz programming for the Kennedy Center, and it’s…

the Glenn Miller Orchestra. “The golden age of jazz is back!” Nothing else after that concert, in mid-October. Normally that kind of announcement lists numerous shows (i.e., plural) over the next several months. I can’t say I’m surprised.

I kept wondering what Jason Moran might do & then I missed this, about a month ago:

I will bet you no one in MAGA knows or cares who Glenn Miller is. Instead, they should have recruited the Lawrence Welk Orchestra from Branson.

Good phrase to keep using – conservative affirmative action.

I would say Republican affirmative action, because we will always have people who lean conservative in politics, so there will always be some sort of Conservative Party, but the Republican party has so befouled itself that it needs to go.

Scoop: White House suspicious of Lewandowski’s “temp” work

…more surprised that there’s still an active White House Counsel’s Office at all

White House Counsel’s Office issued a memo reminding special government employees of the 130-day limit and included guidance on how workdays are to be computed.

than …things like this:

Besides his proximity to power, Lewandowski’s work at DHS has attracted media attention because of his close relationship with Noem. The two, married to others, have long denied rumors they’re romantically involved.

hopefully South Park alone would put the kibosh on this (…or maybe we would like her to run…?)

Noem, a former South Dakota governor, has been a high-profile Cabinet secretary. She’s shared photos of her frequent travel and work with DHS offices on social media, prompting speculation she may run for president in 2028.

@#$!

I highly doubt that however appropriately nasty she acts, the Party/Regime would let any woman be its leader.

Trump ordered Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who also serves as the acting administrator of NASA, to “use all available authorities to eliminate or expedite… environmental reviews for… launch and reentry licenses and permits.” In the order signed by Trump, White House officials wrote that Duffy should consult with the chair of the Council on Environmental Quality and follow “applicable law” in the regulatory cull.

I am certain that these billionaires will be responsible with this power. No way this goes badly. Right? (/s)
