It sure takes a long time for things to be so overt that businesspeople recognize the obvious.
When a group is pushing on the Overton Window as fast as they possibly can (trying to reach those waiting for them on the horizon), those who aren’t running along with them will be left behind in the dust.
I have a low-flow shower head and it’s great.
Personally I can’t imagine Trump taking a shower.
Can you think all the orange paint running down His pale body all the way to the drain like rivers of pumpkin cream?
Thank you ever so much for putting that visual into my head, like the shower scene in Psycho, only it’s filmed in colour, and there’s no murderer, and the chocolate sauce is still chocolate sauce.
I hate you.
Yes. I think that’s why he needs high water pressure.
He would be there, standing under the shower of water with his fake Churchill pout, rubbing down his pink blob of a body slowly with a bar of soap. I just cannot imagine him actually doing that. Maybe he’s against bathing like he is against exercise.

Two days after the Social Security Administration purposely and falsely labeled 6,100 living immigrants as dead, security guards arrived at the office of a well-regarded senior executive in the agency’s Woodlawn, Maryland, headquarters.
Greg Pearre, who oversaw a staff of hundreds of technology experts, had pushed back on the Trump administration’s plan to move the migrants’ names into a Social Security death database, eliminating their ability to legally earn wages and, officials hoped, spurring them to leave the country. In particular, Pearre had clashed with Scott Coulter, the new chief information officer installed by Elon Musk. Pearre told Coulter that the plan was illegal, cruel and risked declaring the wrong people dead, according to three people familiar with the events.
But his objections did not go over well with Trump political appointees. And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave.
They walked Pearre out of the building, capping a momentous internal battle over the novel strategy — pushed by Musk’s U.S. DOGE Service and the Department of Homeland Security — to add thousands of immigrants ranging in age from teenagers to octogenarians to the agency’s Death Master File. The dataset is used by government agencies, employers, banks and landlords to check the status of employees, residents, clients and others.
The episode also followed earlier warnings from senior Social Security officials that the database was insecure and could be easily edited without proof of death — a vulnerability, staffers say, that the Trump administration has now exploited.
The warnings and Pearre’s removal have not previously been reported. This account of how the Trump administration pushed Social Security to wrongly declare thousands of living immigrants dead is based on interviews with 15 people, including current and former Social Security officials, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation, as well as more than two dozen pages of records obtained by The Washington Post.

I can but I refuse to.
Not sure what’s more disturbing here. The incompetence in which these deportation emails are being sent out, or that they are doing this over email.
My theory is that the letter wasn’t personalised: they sent it to the email address on record of one of her clients, who, having no other email to use, gave hers as their contact.
Of course, also: the letter wasn’t personalised. It was a “deport yourself immediately” notice addressed “to whom it may concern”.
They don’t care if the person getting the letter gets the right letter, or knows who the letter is meant for; they may as well be doing letter drops from drones.
