Mojo Nixon, one of whose last songs was “Donald Trump Can Suck My Dick”. To me, this is the way it should be played, not sang by some singer who’s trained to hit that damned fucking high note.
I don’t know how well this has aged…
This one has aged well, even w/the Bush ref. because hey, how do we know Dubya didn’t do acid?
It’s definitely violent, but originally the rockets and bombs were supposed to be horrible things – bombardment by the British that the fort in question withstood. It’s like Men of Harlech, a poem about refusing to yield. I wonder how many people still think of them that way, versus assuming the missiles are on their side?
The Social Security Administration ‘s acting commissioner has stepped down from her role at the agency over Department of Government Efficiency requests to access Social Security recipient information, according to two people familiar with the official’s departure who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly.
Acting Commissioner Michelle King’s departure from the agency over the weekend — after more than 30 years of service — was initiated after King refused to provide DOGE staffers at the SSA with access to sensitive information, the people said Monday.
The White House has replaced her as acting commissioner with Leland Dudek, who currently works at the SSA, the people said.
First, Elon’s geek goons are not the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to being complete human beings, but they can probably code pretty well.
Second, I would be surprised if one of those goons, being incomplete human beings, hadn’t already bragged about their role while using their payoff to buy the proverbial hookers and blow, if this were true.
Third, the whole theory falls apart in the last 2 sentences. So what if Elno cheated to get T**** elected? What does the author think “Boom” means? Because Elno could provide a detailed account every intricate step of the subversion of the vote counts, with multiple, redundant evidence, and it wouldn’t actually change anything. The only way to remove T**** would be impeachment, and this Congress isn’t going to do that. T**** could take each Republican member of Congress’ families and execute them, one by one, right in front of the Capitol, and they still wouldn’t impeach him.
There’s no Boom. There’s just us, all of us, resisting and helping each other through, every day.
There was a day that a Boom could have happened. It passed uneventfully in December 2024. Now we have to do the hard work.
Exactly. I’m amazed at how many people still think this can be solved like a political crisis with political means. Almost the entire Democratic party seems to, for one.
They think they are going to slap this into a chat bot and get a magic air traffic control app back.
Given what we’ve seen so far from Musk’s crowd (web servers slapped up with exposed databases, puking classified docs into the ether), the train will probably be your best choice over the coming few years.
I can see new boast among commercial pilots: "I landed under VFR at LAX on Thanksgiving Day weekend."
This is interesting. The White House, in a legal filing in response to a lawsuit from the state of New Mexico that alleges that DOGE is unconstitutional, is saying that Musk is merely a senior White House advisor, and has no decision making authority. “Who are you going to believe? Me, or your lying eyes!”
