In the event of a terrorist attack maybe he can get on his Troy-Bilt riding lawnmower and run down those SOBs! Probably while taking selfies to post on his interwebz fan page. I fully expect that if any more important government positions open up, the new hires may be a 19-year-old MAGA McDonald's Fry Cook whose parents are avid Trumpers, or maybe Todd Chrisley can replace Hegseth when he inevitably gets canned for embarrassing Dear Leader one too many times. Trumpworld is like Bizzaroworld - if you're qualified and have experience for the position then you're a dreaded "expert" and they want no part of you. But if you stayed in a Holiday Inn once, have no discernable qualifications for the position at all, and you're a loud and proud MAGA - welcome aboard!
 
Yes, I find this appointment shocking even for Trump. And the threshold for being shocked by anything Trump does is as high as the moon, maybe Mars.

Hell, SilenceDoNoGood could be appointed the next General of the Northern Hemisphere, but only if he has taken a course on A1.

“Activist judges” = judges who follow the law.

It's amazing all the years that conservatives preached about legislating from the bench and activist judges, all the while they had a plan and actively worked on aligning judges to support their agenda, including the SCOTUS.

Now they are winning that a judge upholding the law is an activist judge, when they really mean that judge is an roadblock for their agenda.

I would change your last phrase to “when they really mean the law is a roadblock for their agenda.”
 


Is your grocery store giving you free eggs when you buy something? Mine is not and I am starting to wonder how we missed the 400% reduction in egg prices around here — stores are still charging us for eggs somehow.

That is one weathered 22 year old.

That photo (along with him being hired for such a sensitive post) is just unbelievable. It seriously looks like an Onion article photograph, along with the headline "Lawn Maintenance Boy Hired to Run Elite Antiterrorist Group". I know it's been said before, but I'd truly hate to be a writer for The Onion these days. How in the world you can top stories (and photos) like that is beyond me. We are truly living in the weirdest timeline.
