The most obvious narrative for your editorials from the crash is: "government experts are probably useful for something"

Man...almost as if it would be hard to believe her.

The un-seriousness here https://www.salon.com/2025/01/30/ai-nurses-as-good-as-any-doctor-rfk-jr-confirms-he-wants-to-take-away-peoples-health-care/ AI nurses are as good or better than doctors. Let that sink in. Being sick is really a matter of choice. Let that sink in. Is Healthcare a right? Would not answer. Let that sink in. Government by and for rich jackasses who think very little about the proles and outer party.

I fly out of there on Palm Sunday in April. Its been a while because we live much closer to Dulles. I do remember when I was younger we would do a circuit on our bikes around the Mall, the Potomac, and across the various bridges to the park right by the end of the runway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravelly_Point. Great airplane watching location. Horrible tragedy. I have seen some numbers on local tv of victims.

Military helicopter involved.

One can imagine some David Hyde Pierce character standing in front of him having to explain why these things are not being received better by "his people".

Imagine if you will that the man who said "**** it pardon them all" not having the stomach to fight legal battles in the weeds over every sweeping order he issues from his magic desk.

Against familiar narratives Brandon Wolf: "A necessary reminder that the first step to beating Trump is rejecting the idea that he is inevitable or invincible." — Bluesky The Washington Post: "Breaking news: The White House budget office on Wednesday rescinded an order freezing federal grants, according to a copy of a new memo obtained by The Post, after the administration’s move to halt spending earlier this week provoked a backlash." — Bluesky

They put a nutcase sociopathic dilettante who thinks we deserve it if we get Cancer on the same day as Kash Patel and Tulsi Gabbard because they thought Kash and Tulsi were so strong?

Your fault if you get COVID or Leukemia Seth Masket: "Sanders: Is health care a human right? RFK: It's not the same as free speech, because it costs money. Also it's people's fault if they get sick Some rights cost money! Trials and legal representation cost money. Running elections to ensure the right to vote costs money." — Bluesky

If the Secdef wore a uniform people would be freaked out over the separation between civil and military. But, the head of the Ministry of the Interior can I guess?

well-adjusted. I am betting his mother never gave him a cherry coke enema and tied him to the piano to see if he could hold his water. edit: that was a really obscure reference to the made for tv movie "Sybil." That movie messed up a lot of people of my generation who saw it.

Josh Marshall: "it was pretty obvious earlier today that this was a straight up lie. and now there's proof. of course it was." — Bluesky

Question: did the email reach the people in the Armed Forces? If so, I wanna know why not.

George Conway ‪@gtconway.bsky.social‬ Wait till all the Trumpers call for their social security/medicaid/farm subsidy/veterans benefit checks and there’s no one there to answer the phone. Forget the price of eggs; these morons are tap-dancing barefoot on the third rail of American politics …. https://bsky.app/profile/gtconway.bsky.social/post/3lgtmbxasyk2t

Stay and fight this https://bsky.app/profile/bencollins.bsky.social/post/3lgub2wb5zk2o Tim Onion ‪@bencollins.bsky.social‬ This comments section is the first time I've felt even a shred of hope in eight days.

Of this I have no doubt

He could do something else.

they are about to learn some things I guess.

Ryan Broderick: "Based on my own research, following the federal funding pause: -Medicaid systems have stopped working in some states already -Meals On Wheels isn't clear, but suspect they're impacted -SNAP benefits are not impacted -FAFSA seems like it has been paused" — Bluesky FAFSA seems like a dagger aimed at the middle class. People use that to get scholarships and grants which are awarded by other entities than the Federal Government.

They are doing this so they can lower any vestigial taxes on the oligarchs.

Roy Edroso: "Better come out of there with something more than a plea for comity mother****ers" — Bluesky Joshua J. Friedman: "NEW: House Dems are holding an “emergency virtual caucus meeting” at 1 pm over the “Illegal Republican Funding Freeze,” per a notice that just went out to members (via John Bresnahan)" — Bluesky

Maybe they figure out how to deny these benefits to people that didn't vote for him but not others who did.
