In case we are not wasting enough with 1-2B per day on this stupid war. Let's talk about Trumps up and down flights from DC to Fl this weekend. He spent 2.1 m in just air travel this weekend. That is equivalent to Biden taking 84 round trip flights to his home during his admin.

For those who are upset about the Paramount deal for WB. Remember, the Netflix deal did not include CNN. So that could have been picked up as a smaller spin off by anyone. Not that this new deal is ideal. But the options weren’t great either.

For all of this retreat from the Administration on some ICE tactics. Don’t be surprised if they work very hard to destroy or cover up evidence on a number of these issues and cases. As they want the image of re-evaluating, not the image of accountability. To them, accountability is for suckers only.

@decodingfoxnews.bsky.social I wonder how many others experienced this. But during the Jack Smith hearings today. I went to the xfinity app, to see how each channel was covering it. And from the hours of 10:00 to a little after 1:30. This was the screen. Fox went to commercial for nearly 4 hours.

You can’t make this up. Doing channel surfing for the Jack Smith testimony to Congress to see what stations it is on. And I turned on Fox, and this is the scene for that last 20 minutes. This is the Xfinity stream of #foxnews. #MSNow, #CNN and #Newsnation have it. Typical Fox News crap.

Here is what state and local governments should do. Pass laws requiring minimum standards for any law enforcement officers in jurisdictions. Since most require police Academy training, of 21 weeks. Make it illegal for any law enforcement regardless of jurisdiction for them to police. Continue…

This week, I’m hosting The Daily Show Tuesday through Thursday. It’s my first time hosting anything on TV. Ever. I’ve spent years writing behind the scenes, learning from truly great and talented people. Now, for three nights, I get to sit at the desk and do it myself.

My sister snapped this picture yesterday. It's one of my favorites.

ICE detentions of people with no criminal records are up nearly 900 percent over the same period last year. Gift link: wapo.st/43DxcEB

The National Weather Service’s reduction in weather balloon launches left forecasters on shaky ground last week as the central U.S. got hammered with hail and tornadoes, meteorologists tell NBC News.

The Trump administration is the epitome of pissing on someone's leg, and then, then lying to their face and saying that it was actually rain.

Here are some examples of Amazon’s impact of Trump’s Import Tax. You know because we can’t have access to cheap goods. #trumptax

I love seeing a mid 80’s Buick Grand National at the Super Bowl halftime show. #superbowlLIX

We also need a tool that takes live interviews with public figures. Take their streaming running transcript and put it into a LLM (Large Language Models, aka AI) and provide real time fact checking and data. Cable news could do this, but I have doubts that they would right now.

Current state of Media- I hope so many fine respected journalists who have left their current jobs to work as independents, create some sort of consortium. As we need independent media now.

Two words the define Trump and his Administration. “Pettiness and Incompetence” There is your message Democrats! As you can align pretty much everything that he will do over the next 4 years, as the intended actions and outcomes match those two items.

This is a great chart by Politi Fact on what a President promised, and their follow through. I don’t anticipate Trump to improve on his performance of his first term. As I suspect that over 50% or more will be broken promise. They will just lie to say its done.

Last week of normalcy until we all enter Crazy Town USA.

I think the key to keep sanity over the next 4 years is to be like Trump voters. Just ignore the policy that is coming out of the Trump garbage can admin. And complain that nothing is better. It worked for them, why should it work for others as well.

I saw this post on that other platform from Steve. And if nearly half the people don’t think science is important, maybe they should live without Medicine, electricity, cellphones, internet, gasoline and more. It would at least free these up more for those that do. Live what you preach.

I have come to my consensus that with the new administration, we are entering into a larger “inject bleach” moment. For may we warned ya. But for others, hopefully you recognize the light that is being shined in this, and realize, you too will not like it. So bring on Trump’s crazy train.
