And I already found a few things not there, like pretending not to have heard about PA Gov mansion fire and then offering no condolences.

It would be nice to take credit for compiling it, but I just copied it off website and posted it here. I did go in and clean it up some, and added a few things, e.g., the Pete Rose pardon and the Gov of PA mansion fire.

To be fair, the shower head thing as a good one.

He also stopped making pennies.  He's on a roll.

Speaking of roll, I think it costs us more than fifty cents of our time to put fifty pennies in one of those paper rolls.

[chasfh]

Apparently, if we get rid of pennies, the mint would have to make even more nickels to make up the gap on small value transactions, and nickels run at even more of a deficit versus their value than pennies do. A penny is worth 1¢ but costs 3.7¢ to make, whereas a nickel is worth 5¢ but costs 13.8¢ to make.

Thank you, CNN, for using the L word.

I would normally agree, although this hopeful pessimist wonders whether there might be some turning point evolving as there appears to be increasing pushback on Trump in general. As his approval goes down and the business community hammers him on the economy and the international community unites more against him, among other things, he might start blinking even more, and he's already blinked a bunch.

It won't come from CNN or other major media entity.  Surprisingly, the best hope is the big business community.  They won't help us, but they might limit the damage and allow a Trumpless future. He will soon make some half ass deals and call them the best deals ever and his cult will be happy.

You're right, it will not come from CNN or any other one entity. CNN is not leading this, and I am not suggesting as much. They are part of what might be a building wave. I just think it's good to see. The pessimist is allowing a little hope to seep in.

I haven’t yet verified this, but if true, I can’t imagine anything more vile. 
This is heartbreaking.

it's always bass ackwards with maga

Payoff line in story:

" idealism doesn’t always survive contact with a price tag."

and I'm pretty sure you could replace "doesn't always" with "never" with no significant loss of accuracy.

I really wanted to start a new topic for this about Hegseth's drinking but...

Quote

 

Hegseth confirmed Tuesday on Fox & Friends that Kasper would move into a different role at the Pentagon. But he insisted that his top aide had not been fired and reaffirmed support for him.

“Joe is a great guy, great American,” Hegseth said. “He has done a fantastic job for us at the Defense Department…You make changes over time, and we’re grateful for everything Joe’s done.”

 

Less than 100 days is a heck of a run.

11 days is a Scaramucci as I recall so less than 10.
