Sure Why Not
Illegal, of course, but generally I think the more people see of Trump as he sees himself - even Fox viewers - the less they like him.
With the midterm elections approaching, the White House is airing a new TV ad promoting President Donald Trump and his policies that says it is “Paid for by the U.S. Government.”
The unusual 30-second commercial shows rapidly edited pictures and video of Trump over audio of him denouncing communism and socialism, with text on the screen that touts his administration’s accomplishments, such as “reigniting American manufacturing.” The spot is set to the song “Love Me” by JMSN.
Finally America is dealing with the communist scourge.

Thursday Night
Youtube served this to me randomly. The Hooters were a big thing for Philadelphia-area kids of a certain age (my ageish). I though this recent short set they did was funny because it has two actual Hooters songs, and two songs written by Hooters guys but recorded/popularized by others (Time After Time for Cyndi Lauper and and One of Us for Joan Osborne.)
Stuck
There are people with cash in the bank, of course, but the high mortgage rates really do restrict the ability of people to move for whatever reason.
Going from 3.5% to 6.5% on $400,000 borrowed means an initial jump of $1000 in monthly interest.
And What Army
If they ignore this one, why not all of them.
CNN, MS NOW and Politico filed an emergency request for a hearing Thursday morning after reporters were refused access to the White House despite a court order.
Consequences
I bet Harvey wakes up every day wondering why he is being punished for things "everyone" did/does.
Not a defense, in case it isn't obvious. I just mean that the "metoo reckoning" didn't exactly get many people.
Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced movie mogul, was sentenced to 15 years in prison Wednesday for a felony sex crime in another #MeToo reckoning. Weinstein’s sentencing for sexually assaulting one-time TV production assistant Miriam Haley followed a legal odyssey spanning more than six years after his 2020 conviction was overturned. A jury found Weinstein guilty again at a retrial last year.I have no idea if his regular actions were "worse" than many of his peers, but I'd bet than in his mind they weren't really different.

Who Needs "Cybersecurity"
We're lucky if all hackers do is steal information. It's when they start torching it all that we're in trouble.
A representative of the group claimed to NBC News that they hacked the FBI’s job portal Monday and then gained access to other agency programs, stealing between 2 and 3 terabytes of files. NBC News was not able to verify the extent of their claims. The job portal site is currently inaccessible.I basically assume everything has been hacked, including Donald's phone, given their complete lack of interest in appropriate measures. They handed the keys to all the DOGE boys. You think they gave them back?
Sure Why Not
Tommy Tuberville: Many airline pilots, flight attendants, and air traffic controllers are part of the furry community. It's terrifying.

Well, Well, Well, Not So Easy To Make A Deal With Iran That Doesn't Suck Shit
Hard work, is it.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio says a deal with Iran would involve hard work over a period of time, adding that Trump “has a number of options available, including military options”.Fortunately something the Trump administration is known for, its hard workers.
Chekhov's Book Of Building Codes
The writers are setting up a fun finish for the ballroom.
James McCrery II withdrew from the project last October after warning repeatedly that Trump was insisting on a preliminary design that did not provide adequate emergency exit routes or fire-containment measures, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe the private discussions.
Trump brushed off McCrery’s concerns, they said, and the president countered that no building codes apply to White House construction.
“I am the code,” Trump said.
A Desperate Nation Demands It
This is ridiculous, of course, but there's always a media and donor lane for the Sensible Republican. The anti-Trumpers have to rally around somebody. It isn't about winning, it's about running a financial/PR/media empire for a couple of years.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) on Tuesday said he’s considering a third presidential run in 2028 as the Republican Party faces a bleak midterm outlook.
No journalist can explain how Mr. 14% was given an apartment in the Green Room after leaving office in disgrace, but such are the careers of Republican politicians.
We often joke about politicians being less popular the syphilis, but Christie really was!
