Supreme Court lets White House continue construction on Stinky’s $400 million ballroom Looks like Nero's Dancehall project is back on. The wealthy can dance while the nation burns.

I originally interpreted the inflation under Biden to be a consequence of systemic shock resulting from the pandemic. But the inflation now seems entirely self-inflicted: massive tariffs, oil wars, AI over-investment, and mismanagement of the Fed. Somehow we're supposed to be better off? It's not a great situation for those of us on a fixed income.

Here's stinky's latest attempt to game the system in his favor: US Postal Service issues new rule for mail ballots, but its impact on the midterms is uncertain It's a fundamentally unconstitutional rule because it allows the executive branch to regulate who gets to vote (in states that vote by mail), something that the constitution delegates to the states and Congress. In reality, it adds little new in terms of security because voter eligibility is already checked during the registration process, and it creates a layer of fallibility and endless bureaucracy. This was made a requirement just before the election, and would need to be implemented flawlessly by the Postal Service. Worse case, this is allowed by SCOTUS and states either comply or get their election blocked. Fortunately I think there's a way out of this: contract parcel delivery services to ship the ballots to voters, thereby bypassing the federal government. This assumes it doesn't get negated by the courts (which SCOTUS has already indicated it might not). Either way, it going to cost millions of taxpayer dollars to address this. Yet another taxpayer money wasting effort by this power-hungry nutter.

The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope has launched This telescope will have the resolution of Hubble, but with a much larger field of view. I look forward to seeing how well the coronagraph works.

Hard to say. It probably depends on who follows stinky and whether we get back to responsible governance. There will be a lot of bridges in need of repair, so to speak.

Sometimes stinky is a man. Now is not one of those times. Trump signs order renaming Lake Ontario as ‘Lake America’ in the United States

There have always been fringe beliefs. I particularly remember being on a bus ride where the driver spent nearly the entire trip trying to convince us that soft drinks cause formaldehyde to appear in the blood stream. The difference now is that everybody gets a low-cost media platform from which to spew their potty ideas.

Sometimes you've just got to rock

Heh, nope, not that I'm aware. It seems like the right has been diverging from reality for a while now, with stinky being a prominent example. My (admittedly unconventional) conjecture is that the party wants to increase its power by becoming people's only source of information, via FOX. But implementing that means diverging sharply from more reliable mainstream sources like scientists, doctors, broadcast news, and books. The more the party gets people to fall into the rabbit hole that is conspiracy theory, the more reliant they become on the party line. It's all very 1984 newspeak.

Not really a fan of her music, but she was a very decent human being, so a sad loss.

On the top ten list of inane stinky-isms, I have his behavior toward Canada as #1 and the Iran war as #2. There's not much we can do about it until the election though.

The latest in the "how low can you go" contest: Navy discusses renaming aircraft carrier after Stinky instead of heroic Black sailor Stinky must be dying because how else do you explain it?

Sure, sure. Republicans are just far more hypocritical about it, running on balancing the budget when they're out of power, then running up the debt when they have control.

Want to understand why the deficit is at $40 trillion? Stinky plays White House tour guide to show off work on his helipad and ballroom The bill for this landing surface? $6 million. Yep, because a walk on the grass just won't do.
