  1. The main takeaway I get from this week, and the USAID and DHHS revelations is that the Democrats and the media are targeting the process of discovery, attacking Elon Musk and his DOGE meds. However, they are all eerily silent about the actual dispersal of funds. They know it as fact, because Elon and his team brought the receipts and made them public immediately. After promising transparency, the new administration is certainly delivering on that promise. It might just be a brave new world after all.
  2. All this fuss over tariffs leading to an increase in inflation, the scare tactics of the media to influence public opinion, was all disinformation. It was never the point to add costs to trade, but you would not have known that by the coverage. The new administration was crystal clear regarding the purpose behind the tariffs. It was always about the border. Always.
  3. Wouldn’t General Milley need to be reinstated to active status to court-martial him in the first place? If the pre-emptive pardon holds up, and I reckon it will be challenged at some point, could a court martial have any resulting consequences, such as a reduction in final rank, amendment to separation status, etc.?
  4. Wrong CRJ and wrong altitude. Too high for their route, but still too low for the AA CRJ’s TCAS to pick them up. Added to that is that I heard their flight path put them in the CRJ’s blind spot, as it was already established in a stable landing configuration.
  5. Seriously, the Babylonbee needs to give up on this fake pretence of being a satirical publication and openly admit that they are fully engaged in proper, old-school, factual journalism. ☠️
  6. Except the thousand or so potential ATC personnel suing for discrimination on the grounds that were rejected for employment for being white. ☠️
  7. Likely to be held immune from prosecution 🙁 https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/46597/can-us-congress-members-be-successfully-sued-for-defamation/46598#46598
  8. Well, the Babylonbee has been failing at satire for some time now, so they might as well become an actual news agency.
  9. With these pardons, ex-President Biden has only moved public sympathies further toward President Trump. The final takeaways of a disastrous presidency appear to be the normalisation of political persecution, and that crime pays. Welcome to Americastan 2025 ☠️
  10. Something I haven’t seen mentioned so far, in the wake of all ex-President Biden’s avalanche of pre-emptive pardons. iIf you can now be pardoned for any crime you might have committed, but for which you have not been convicted, what is to stop a present or future President issuing pardons for future crimes not yet committed? Welcome to The Purge ☠️
  11. I thought we were getting away from the LGBTQIAWTFBBQ requirements for government positions, now the DJT is about to be the President? ☠️
  12. Senator Elizabeth Warren, doing her best to ensure Pete Hegseth gets confirmed as Secretary of Defence.
  13. And American Throwball is the wussified child of rugby played by overpaid sissies in body armour and spandex, and played only in America because no-one else in the world would be seen dead in such ridiculous outfits. 😉
  14. And they’re still doing better than my American Throwball team 🙁
  15. Who the $&@# advised the Prime Minister that Peter (whisper, whisper. Was it something I said?) Mandelson should be the UK Ambassador to the USA?
  16. Most people are “unexpectedly” arrested, mainly because the “expect” to get away with it 😎
  17. You lot are too serious 🤪 The game that got us promoted. The third goal that confirmed us as champions of League 1. And the loudest fans in football 😎
  18. Because we’re the biggest, least sinkable aircraft carrier in the U.S. Air Force. 😎
  19. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit … … which is why short people are so good at it. 😁
  20. Seniler 🤪
  21. But where is the outcry against this blatant injustice? Where is the outrage? Where is the wall-to-wall media covera … 🤐 It's not Trump so it doesn’t matter.
  22. Oh, please! Oh, please! Oh, please! 😁
  23. Dude seriously needs a better chat-up line. ☠️🙁
