The DUmpster / Re: No First Family Has Ever Behaved This Way...

There's a reason the AJC has been called by Georgians the "Urinal Constipation".

Starting around the late 80s and early 90s, I'd get to work about an hour early and sit at my desk reading the AJC and eating a biscuit from Hardee's. Then it got to the point that the Weekly World News was both more factual and more entertaining so I stopped buying the AJC.

Name an impeachable offense? I don't see a single thing that President Trump has done that even approaches a high crime or misdemeanor.

I recommend purchasing this in bulk:



He survived.

For wrecking our Justice system?

What is this one about? Is it prosecuting people (like Letitia James, for example) whose weren't even discovered during his administration? Is it dismantling the Democrats' unfair structural advantages in elections? What is it?

We don't go to restaurants where dressing up is expected, but even at our favorite hole-in-the-wall Mexican restaurant I know it would be inappropriate to come in wearing (I don't really run) running shorts and race even T-shirt.

Adulting 101: Behaving In Restaurants



from 1995

As I'm sitting here dealing with students the last week of school who no longer feel any need to be restrained by dress code and language rules.  And seeing/hearing the exact same thing from adults when I'm out running rideshare.  Behaving anywhere has been dying for a while now.

I think MM is getting his undies in a wad about this, which the AP says thousands attended, and the Fox article includes a tweeted video that looks fairly crowded. 

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-reads-bible-thousands-pack-national-mall-america-250-prayer-rally

Part of the Freedom 250 stuff, the whole event is here a quick scan through the 8 hours looks like it wasn't a packed house but looks fairly well attended.  Not everyone is going to stay in the seat/spot for that whole thing, giving plenty of opportunity for image manipulation.  Not that the DUmp needs any evidence, "words we agree with=reality"

IOW, MM swapped the "a" and "n", accidentally or imagining himself clever. Well, like I said, the MSM play games when publishing "attendance" pics of events MSM-folk hate. DU-folk have bit on this trick before, and their confirmation bias makes them credulous of the MSM's tricks.

I wonder if he was watching Katy Tur self-beclowning herself on MesS Now:

Katy Tur Seems Deeply Confused

I guess it shouldn't come as a surprise given that this was broadcast on MSNOW, but somehow it still surprises me. Katy Tur was asking her panel of guests about something that Speaker Mike Johnson had said Sunday at the "Rededicate 250" rally on the mall in Washington, DC.
...
Here's Tur's reaction when bringing it up on MSNOW to her panel of guests.

Quote
What about this passage from Mike Johnson declaring that our rights do not derive from government? They come from you, our creator and heavenly father. Is this him putting God over the Declaration of Independence?
...
Coppins didn't want to lose his gig at MSNOW by pointing out how nonsensical and dumb her question was, so he just tries to sidestep it and move on to something else. But I'm not and MSNOW regular so I'm under no such obligation.

What Tur says here is so confused that I'm not sure what her point was. Usually when someone is confused I can kinda sorta see how they got there, but not this time. The suspicious passage she's referring to is just a paraphrase of the Declaration of Independence which reads:

Quote
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed...

Obama is perhaps the worst President of my lifetime, and he did incalculable damage to this nation.

I wish he would just go away like most other Presidents did when they've served two terms, but unfortunately, he continues to hang around like a bad smell.

The media also tried to downplay the size of the recent London protests, by not showing aerial footage.

Civil War at the Times?

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2026/05/civil-war-at-the-times.php

Quote
This story comes from the New York Post, which got it from something called Puck News:

Quote
A civil war has erupted inside the New York Times over Nicholas Kristof’s explosive column alleging widespread sexual abuse of Palestinians by Israeli prison guards.

Staffers at the newspaper are questioning whether some of the most incendiary claims, including an allegation that Israel trains dogs to rape Palestinian detainees, would have ever cleared the paper’s newsroom standards…

The Times has standards?

Quote
…according to Puck News.

The internal backlash has grown so intense that one Times journalist vented to Puck: “I am sick of being embarrassed by the Opinion section.”

Bed with dogs, share the fleas.
