I look forward to seeing this kind of abject hysteria in Canada very soon, as the swamp creatures are exposed to the searing light of the sun. They’ll be turning to stone all over the place. Ottawa will be like a garden center that sells statuary.

A judicial decree that the Secretary of Treasury is not allowed to examine the records in the Treasury Department seems a little lacking in intelligence. I agree that panic (and arrogance) was also involved. But I would expect a rationale that would at least *try* to pass the most basic scrutiny from common sesnse, let alone the Supremes.
Federal judges are appointed for life and serve on “good behavior”, so absent hookers and blow revelations (and even then in some cases) that judge is only tossing his chances for confirmation to a higher court under the current congressional mix.
But there’s an effort underway to start some judicial impeachments in congress which could be interesting. One vastly overreaching politically driven restraining order does not an impeachment make, but this guy seems to have some baggage…
Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan is poised to issue a temporary restraining order that would block nearly everyone in the Trump administration from accessing any data produced by any federal agency or dismissing any federal or contract workers.
This is the lovely individual who enabled the lawfare against Trump, and populated the DC Gulag. It’s not often you see a judge who thinks she can nullify Article 2.
I’m impressed (and not in a positive way) at the hubris there. I might have to pull up the court order, if one is issued, and see if I can sort out the “logic” used for that. And to use in class when/if the question of checks and balances comes up.
“Their eyes piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that they had made; and the magnitude of their own folly was revealed to them in a blinding flash, and all the devices of their enemies were at last laid bare.

Used to live in Northern Ontario; moose hunting season was in two parts: earlier, south of the highway, and later, north of the highway. Just before moose season opened, one could observe moose cruising northwards.
Highway department of course had ‘Moose Crossing’ signs. Locals tried to prank a couple Yank hunters, and told them they could get their moose if they would just hang out near one of those signs. Couple hours later, the grateful Yanks and their moose came back. True story. (I was in 8th grade; documenting such things was not in my worldview yet.)
And yes, clear reports confirm that cars are on the losing end of intersections with moose. Moose walks away, car remains steaming and stationary.

I have stayed a couple times in the UK chain that gives the rubber ducks. I gave them to grandchildren.
I’ve seen what happens when a luxury car – one of the really big ones from a few decades back, possibly a Cadillac – hits an elk, which is quite a bit smaller than a moose. Probably the only reason why the driver and passenger weren’t hurt is because of the sheer size of the front of those cars.
My best friend hit an elk with a pickup while she was doing silo patrol in the AF. She was fine, but the truck and the elk weren’t. Her handle temporarily became. “Deerslayer.”
Veterans, raise your hand if you shuddered, winced, or reacted with some combination of the two upon seeing the word “repeat” in the “Mike Echo Oscar Whiskey” meme. I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one.
Yeah, winced a little on that one. Back when I was in the Guard, I started out in an Engineer battalion S3 shop. We ran the Bn TOC (Tactical Operations Center). One of my many tasks was running the commo desk, usually on the ‘graveyard’ slot. Got it drummed into my head early that outside of it’s actual use, that term was heavily contraindicated . . .
I looked into creating a ‘rain/rein/reign’ meme to go with your ‘hoard/horde’ meme from a few months ago, but I couldn’t find an existing picture that fit and there doesn’t seem to be any way to combine 3 of them.
The writer one, yes. And the first coffee one, except black tea or diet soda. (For the first time ever, I had a title go #1 New Release in a category. I did a happy cat dance.)
On the other hand – and I admit that there is a slim possibility of this – he could have known what she was hinting, and was already planning on surprising her later in the day. In this instance, his “clueless” comment would be designed to throw her off the track until the surprise was ready.
It’s true. If the baddies would have just left the ex-Veggie Tales writers alone to do their funny webpage, everything might have come out very differently.
But of course they didn’t. They couldn’t.
Unlike the baddies, God has a GREAT sense of humor.
I don’t remember all the details, but Old Twitter banned The Babylon Bee for running a bit about “Rachel” Levine, the trans Navy Secretary. It was possibly the deciding factor in Elon Musk buying Twitter.
Levine was assistant secretary for health at the Department of Health and Human Services and an “Admiral” in rank and uniform due to being in charge of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps.
Navy Secretary under Brandon was Carlos Del Toro, who has not publicly appeared in women’s clothing.
OK, thank you. I knew the Bee was censored, I didn’t think there was ANY link between the Babylon Bee and VeggieTales alumni. If I have time I’ll have to dive into that angle a little deeper.
This is what I was thinking when I saw the “Democrats haven’t been this mad since…” meme in the most awesome set posted above. And no, not tired of the winning yet. Not even starting to. ;-)
