DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research?

RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research

D: I just read them to you!

R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

Remember back in high school, when the kid in your class didn't do the assignment and then the teacher called on him?

Here we have the head of the second largest federal agency- the Department of Homeland Security- testifying before Congress today.

Reading comprehension test.

Meet William Long, nominee for IRS Commissioner:

I. Am. Aghast.

Seriously.

But as I noted elsewhere, if this is the the interpretation that TrumpCo. places on it, it (almost) explains the brazen, illegal, brutal way that they have gone about this.

And somewhere along the line, I'll bet you will find a Sydney Powell or Alina Haba lawyer telling TrumpCo. anti-DEI hires that this is what it means. Or even Trump...redefining this like he did 'groceries'

And people like puppy killer Noem thinking they are the smartest people in the room.

Long is so much a caricature of the 1960's/70's southern dickwad plutocrat, know nothing hack that it almost made me nostalgic for an America so hapless and absurd that it made no difference outside of US borders,
No we look at the staggering ignorance and malfeasance and realize this is exactly what led to death camps.

RFK Jr got called out for blocking Congressionally approved funds and for not submitting a detailed HHS budget to Congress before his hearing to discuss the HHS budget he wants Congress to approve.


RFK Jr says he doesn't trust Sen Patty Murray's information:

RFK Jr doesn't seem to know that key programs have been terminated and healthcare experts in his department have been terminated.

RFK: "I don't know about those cuts".

It just gets worse. He gets called out for lying during his confirmation hearing:

 

[KaraBulut]

All of these testimonies today have a common theme:

Congressperson: "Let me read it to you".

Cabinet Secretary: "Uh, um... uh..... uh.....".

 

[rareboy]

It underscores again and again that none of these people was appointed to lead a department.

They were all appointed to destroy a department.

Hearing after hearing after hearing.

They don't give a shit about congressional oversight. The have been directed to use blunt power and ignore the Consititutional provisions.

If US Americans can't see this clearly by now...the whole world is headed toward a holocaust.

The only thing we currently have going for the right side is that these people are all so staggeringly stupid and ignorant that they might just be defeated by facts and procedures.

Sen Gallego: You're pulling agents off investigating child porn and sex trafficking to work as ICE agents? And what is this $50 million for a jet?

Sen Blumenthal: ...about those pregnant women in DHS custody.....

 

[KaraBulut]

Senator Van Hollen: I regret voting for you.
Secretary Rubio: Je ne regrette rien.

Jasmine Crockett:

"That's why they hired everybody from Fox because all they're trying to do is put on a show. "

Questioning of the 76 year old Secretary of Education- the lady who ran World Wrestling Entertainment.

Did you fire all of the Department of Education employees or did Elon Musk? I'm not sure who the woman in the left side of the video is but she is the Greek chorus to McMahon's lack of knowledge about DoE.

"Why are you in this job?"

"Lawfully shut down the Department of Education?"

"Why, if you have a backlog of discrimination cases, did you cut the staff of the department that investigates discrimination in education?":

"The leopard ate my face".

During the Biden years, Ka$h Patel and his deputy, former right wing podcaster Dan Bongino, spent untold hours fomenting conspiracy theories about Jeffrey Epstein.

Last week, in an interview Bongino and Patel said that Epstein committed suicide. Nope, nothing to see here.

The MAGA far right is losing their mind, accusing Bongino and Patel of lying and covering up the truth. The right wing podcasts and their "alternative facts" news sites are railing on and on about how Patel and Bongino have been assimilated. They're probably planning on searching Patel's basement for pods.

Another win for the Real World guy who found that Jesus painting!

Six people were on this plane. So far, 3 bodies have been recovered.

Music talent agent among dead after jet crashes into San Diego neighborhood

The music agency Sound Talent Group said that three of its employees died on the private plane that crashed into the Murphy Canyon neighborhood.

A private jet carrying a music talent agent and five others hit a power line in foggy weather early Thursday and crashed into a San Diego neighborhood, slamming into a home that burst into flames.

With jet fuel rolling down the streets, half a dozen vehicles ignited while residents in the neighborhood of U.S. Navy-owned housing were shaken awake just before 4 a.m. by the thunderous crash and subsequent explosions. Out their windows, they saw a wall of fire.

Let's take from the poor, give a Golden Dome raft of contracts to the bloated Military Industrial Complex, and cut the National Security Council down so we're secure?

AP article on dismissals at NSC

Halcyon days must be upon us.

 

[KaraBulut]

Let's take from the poor, give a Golden Dome raft of contracts to the bloated Military Industrial Complex richest man in the world, and cut the National Security Council down so we're secure?

Minor correction above. His companies are rumored to be the beneficiary of the Golden Dome project.

 

[NotHardUp1]

Minor correction above. His companies are rumored to be the beneficiary of the Golden Dome project.

That notwithstanding. Lockheed and the other hogs at the trough are already salivating and making public endorsements.

That Trump will profit may be, but there is plenty of pork going to the rest.

 

[rareboy]

Sounds about right.

This could easily have been in any one of 3 threads.
