The visible clouds must have blown away by the time this news team started their video, but it’s clearly visible in the photo on top of this article discussing the same incident -

6. People vote for Milei’s party

Sort of

Although voting is compulsory, turnout was the lowest since the return to democracy in 1983, at 67.85%, surpassing the previous record low of 71% set in 2021.

Hear hear.

I can see why this manager got the job though, he’s clearly a real stand up guy.

appears to be a potential violation of the Antideficiency Act,

If we’d had this calibur of journalism about a century ago they would have said the Hindenburg appeared to be experiencing a potential flight delay, I swear

Potential penalties for violations include both administrative and criminal sanctions such as suspension or removal from duty, fines and imprisonment

I mean, this is the sound of a journalist screaming internally “SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING”, but the time to start screaming externally was a while ago

He already has billions more than he could spend in a lifetime. It isn’t smart it’s deranged.

“Oh wow, our research shows our business model destroys the planet, better keep that a secret!” is the sort of exemplary moral reasoning I normally only expect from petroleum companies

In addition to that reference, I bet this is a pandemic era joke about public health guidance

Fascists are trying to terrify us with stupid shit that I fell for (at least for a minute there)

The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

I don’t want this government reopened until Trump has been removed from office, personally. I hope mutual aid networks are able to support people who need nutrition housing and healthcare insurance and support good government workers, but giving a budget to the administration of Donald Trump can not happen, it will only be used to cause further suffering.

Yeah, this is super illegal and sketchy as all hell, the country’s military being beholden to some private oligarchs is some “end of the Roman empire” type of stupidly corrupt and destabilizing idiocy

However (and I only noticed this after posting and kinda feel bad for being misled), this is also some stupid fascist theater that’s trying to make the administration and their dipshit oligarch friends look more powerful than they actually are

The $130 million donation is unlikely to make any meaningful impact toward covering salaries of the roughly 1.3 million active duty military troops, netting out to about $100 per service member.

They want us to despair and think that everything is all over and they’ve won everything forever, but in reality they’re morons who ruin everything they touch who have to keep doing terrifying performative fascist bullshit to keep their followers from noticing how stupid and incapable they are. Don’t get me wrong, that performative fascist bullshit hurts and kills people, but these scumbags do not have resources or the competence to hurt and kill all of us as much as they try to project that image.

We all know they’re evil, but what we need to remind ourselves and constantly remind all of their supporters is that they are weak. The fascist mind cannot handle that.

He didn’t take away Mike Johnson’s healthcare

Unfortunately I think this is more the mayor capitulating and trying to set up a different bit of fascist theater for the administration (arc)

“Late last night, I received a phone call from the President of the United States. I told him the same thing I told our residents: San Francisco is on the rise,” Lurie said in a statement Thursday. “Visitors are coming back, buildings are getting leased and purchased, and workers are coming back to the office. We have work to do, and we would welcome continued partnerships with the FBI, DEA, ATF, and U.S. Attorney to get drugs and drug dealers off our streets, but having the military and militarized immigration enforcement in our city will hinder our recovery.”

[Bolding added]

They’re probably going to set up some sort of bullshit joint taskforce with the San Francisco PD and some federal agencies to beat the shit out of homeless people and call them hardcore gang members of some other stupid cruelty they can celebrate

Trump’s DOJ doesn’t like money laundering and organized crime suddenly? Huh, that is news

20 years ago if a newspaper had factual issues in 45% of their stories we would’ve called it a tabloid and made fun of people who took it seriously

IMO, nowhere near the top 100 shittiest things he’s done (like, this act of vandalism is a way smaller crime than the murders we’ve been doing to people on boats in the Caribbean), but it is shitty (I know most of our presidents have sucked and the white house was built by slave labor, but tearing it down isn’t going to undo any of that, it’s just going to make history harder to understand for people in the future)

You mean the ones he was forced to hire back the next day?

His actions have been to have every communication channel he has yell at Dems for shutting down the government and try to bully his way out of the mess his party created. Seems to me like anybody who says this is all going according to some plan is assigning competence to these fascists they have not earned.

Except this “oh the shut down is good for us actually” nonsense has been the Republicans’ script since this thing started. Fact is everything they’re doing now is stuff they wanted to do before the shutdown anyway.

You believe what Trump says?

The CIA probably only found out this was going to be publicly confirmed when they saw news stories about Trump running his mouth, both because the White House is being run like Lord of the Flies and because the CIA are a bunch of dumbasses who are actually shit at predicting what governments might do and basically only excel at giving money and weapons to the worst people on the planet
