Pooky

*** Heavy sigh *** This is so depressing. They’re not even trying to be satirical any more. 🙁

And here was me thinking his whole presidency was a vacation … from reality ☠️

I believe this sentiment would have more emotional impact amongst the general population if pizza 🍕 was replaced by tacos 🌮 🌮 🌮 Of course, both subsets of the population are wrong, because chocolate chip cookies 🍪 RULE!!!!!

And still the grift goes on. ☠️

US judge temporarily blocks Musk's DOGE from accessing payment systems By Nate Raymond February 8, 20254:18 PM MSTUpdated 21 hours ago Summary Judge cites risk sensitive data could be improperly disclosed Prohibited persons must destroy any data already collected Order follows lawsuit from 19 Democratic state attorneys general Musk calls ruling 'absolutely insane' Feb 8 (Reuters) - A federal judge early Saturday temporarily blocked billionaire Elon Musk's government efficiency team from accessing government systems used to process trillions of dollars in payments, citing a risk that sensitive information could be improperly disclosed. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in Manhattan issued the order, opens new tab after a coalition of Democratic attorneys general from 19 U.S. states filed a lawsuit late Friday arguing Musk's Department of Government Efficiency has no legal power to access the U.S. Department of Treasury systems. The ruling also applied to other political appointees of President Donald Trump's administration. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-judge-temporarily-blocks-musks-doge-accessing-payment-systems-2025-02-08/ On what planet can the Treasury Secretary, appointed by the President, be legally barred from accessing the systems of the department of which he is the head? Planet Liberal Psychosis (this United States of America), apparently. 🤨 If this ruling is not overturned immediately, then this country is truly lost to law and reason. And if this ruling by U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer doesn’t lead to comprehensive judicial reform (and his disbarment), then it will be a massive opportunity lost. Let’s hope, for the survival of liberty in the USA, that this is the last dying breath of left-wing lawfare. PS. And that doesn’t even touch on the deliberate circumvention of random judge assignment and blatant judge-shopping carried out by Letitia James and her cohort of corruptocrat AGs

Well, this is depressing. 🙁 Satire is dead, killed by real life events less believable than any satirist’s fantasy. ☠️

Marriage - a one word sentence in the English language. Remember, 44% of marriages end in divorce. Which means 56% of marriages end in death. ☠️ it’s all rather depressing, really. 🙁

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.

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.

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.?

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.

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. ☠️

Except the thousand or so potential ATC personnel suing for discrimination on the grounds that were rejected for employment for being white. ☠️

Likely to be held immune from prosecution 🙁 https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/46597/can-us-congress-members-be-successfully-sued-for-defamation/46598#46598

Well, the Babylonbee has been failing at satire for some time now, so they might as well become an actual news agency.

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 ☠️

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 ☠️

Nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure. ☠️

I thought we were getting away from the LGBTQIAWTFBBQ requirements for government positions, now the DJT is about to be the President? ☠️

Senator Elizabeth Warren, doing her best to ensure Pete Hegseth gets confirmed as Secretary of Defence.

New year, same old failure to satirise 🙁

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. 😉

And they’re still doing better than my American Throwball team 🙁

Who the $&@# advised the Prime Minister that Peter (whisper, whisper. Was it something I said?) Mandelson should be the UK Ambassador to the USA?

Most people are “unexpectedly” arrested, mainly because the “expect” to get away with it 😎
