8+ min ago (812+ words) Reuters has reported that it seems that DOGE has been quietly euthanized. Eight months before its charter was officially up, it no longer exists as an entity! You have outlived DOGE! Subscribe! DOGE was more like a smash-n-grab: gutting government agencies, eliminating about 300,000 government jobs, ending research, control-F-deleting "DEI" words, and terrorizing civil servants like the Heritage Foundation and Russ Vought have always wanted. And some of the data just went oops-unattended. But the job DOGE did first, and most thoroughly, was dismantle USAID. And one of the very first things Trump did was make Secretary of State Marco Rubio also administrator of USAID, and also head of the National Archives. It seemed like destroying USAID was about some lack-of-virtue signaling, America telling the world's poor to fuck off and die. And dying they are. Guess we shan't be hearing…...

2+ hour, 3+ min ago (556+ words) Somebody said that thing about Mark Kelly on Stephanie Ruhle's show last night and it was correct so we stole it for the tabs headline. Anyway, willkommen bei Ihren Tabs! Every Democrat needs to go on TV and call Pete Hegseth a little bitch, just the way Ruben Gallego did right here: All your updates on that story later this morning! So this was a hilarious moment on the TV news, where the CNN person was like "let us make discussions about the proposal Donald Trump is releasing today to fix Obamacare HOLD ON WE ARE JUST GETTING WORD that Donald Trump is doing that never." Punchbowl News threatened us with a good time yesterday in their newsletter: [A] few [] GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term....

16+ hour, 27+ min ago (711+ words) She has time. She has nothing to do this week, or likely any other week, at least until OAN hires her to be Matt Gaetz's stunt double. Because a federal judge has just thrown out her indictments against both James Comey and Letitia James, for the simple reason that Halligan's own appointment was illegal. It's a Thanksgiving miracle! The greatest shock is that this didn't happen because of Lindsey Halligan's specific incompetence, at least not yet, though much more of that could be coming down the pike, what with motions that have been filed for vindictive prosecution, and all the bullshit that's been coming out about what a one-woman clownshow Halligan's grand jury process was. This was about Donald Trump's incompetence, and Pam Bondi's incompetence. "I conclude that all actions flowing from Ms. Halligan's defective appointment, including securing and signing…...

18+ hour, 25+ min ago (508+ words) But one of the most legendary tales in this genre is the Ballad of Candace Owens. Owens ended up getting doxed herself and " despite the fact that there had been criticism of her idea from all sides " decided it was "the left" what done it. She immediately lost her mind and transformed into the far-right grifter we all know and love today. "I became a conservative overnight," Owens later said. "I realized that liberals were actually the racists. Liberals were actually the trolls " Social Autopsy is why I'm a conservative." Yeah. So why am I telling you this story? Well, Owens has once again experienced some rejection and this time, it may have pushed her off the edge completely. As you have probably blocked out, Owens has been spending a large part of her time these days transvestigating Brigitte Macron,…...

21+ hour, 18+ min ago (769+ words) There's a new leaked 28-point US peace plan for Ukraine and Russia, and it is such an embarrassing capitulation to Russia, with a side of grift obviously. Maybe it sounded more noble in the original Russian. Whatever kompromat Jeffrey Epstein may have passed on about Trump and Bubba has got to be some real filth! But the leaked plan was so bad three days later Rubio walked back to senators that it was even the plan the US was pushing. The only person who seems to like it is Lindsey Graham. (Wonder what filth Russia has on him?) And now even Russia says they don't want it, because it doesn't give them the entire nation of Ukraine, duh. How fucking embarrassing. That this administration has the OPSEC of a sieve. Also the ongoing willful blindness to how Russia has violated…...

22+ hour, 45+ min ago (747+ words) Before we depart on our "relaxing" planes, trains, and automobiles to have Thanksgiving with people we ignore all year, let's take a look at how the Sunday shows gave us a few tips on how to survive the holiday. We begin on CNN's State Of The Union with Jake Tapper, who interviewed GOP Senator and physician Bill Cassidy. Let's subscribe before we do that, shall we? Tapper confronted Cassidy " the deciding vote on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s confirmation to be HHS Secretary " about the CDC website promoting RFK Jr.'s false claims linking autism to vaccines. But after playing clips of Cassidy being played for a fool by RFK Jr., and even reading statements from JFK's granddaughter calling out her grand-uncle's hand in stopping lifesaving cancer research, Cassidy had had enough of this persecution: CASSIDY: So, Jake, clearly, clearly, this…...

1+ day, 3+ min ago (982+ words) Whoa, what the heck happened between President Donald John Trump and New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani in the White House on Friday? We were so excited for Mamdani to verbally spank the old pervert from Queens around the room with a rolled-up newspaper, just like he did with the one that came before him, Andrew Cuomo. But then a funny thing happened on the way to the press scrum: Trump seemed to have been charmed! And suddenly had nothing but nice things to say about the man he'd been ranting was a "100% communist lunatic," "terrible," "not very smart," and "grating." Watch this mind-bending display if you missed it: Trump congratulated Mamdani, said he wanted to help him "make everybody's dream come true" of a safe New York. "He's going to change, also. We all change. I changed a lot....

1+ day, 22+ hour ago (418+ words) The term "five for fighting" is commonly known in Canada as a five-minute major hockey penalty for dropping the gloves, but it could also work as a recruitment slogan for a new concept of a plan from top military brass to build a standing army of volunteer soldiers with as little as five days of basic training under their belts. Age restrictions and fitness standards would be loosened in the hope average people could learn to effectively shoot guns, fly drones or drive trucks in the course of a single work week " although annual refreshers would be required " and semi-soldiers would ideally be made up of current public servants to begin with. Which came as news to them. No details on how exactly an influx of 300,000 new recruits would be managed were provided in the nine-page leaked document, and the…...

2+ day, 13+ hour ago (549+ words) The story of a mathematician whose brilliance in cracking Enigma is believed to have ended the war two years earlier than without his involvement and saving approximately 14 million lives. And then the British government chemically castrated him because of TEH GAY. Turing was aided by a woman who was not even allowed to work with the men, but still was a driving force in helping him break the unbreakable. Without Joan Clarke it is possible Turing would not have succeeded. Still waiting for her movie! In 1946 she received an appointment as a Member of the Order of the British Empire. Here is a bit of a BBC interview with Joan Clarke where she explains, "But although it was a surprise, I really didn't hesitate in saying yes, and then he knelt by my chair and kissed me, though we didn't…...

2+ day, 18+ hour ago (861+ words) Hey! Remember that time that Elon Musk tried to program his AI bot Grok to be "anti-woke" and it immediately went full Nazi, even going so far as to call itself "MechaHitler"? Well now, as it turns out, "Grokipedia" " his anti-woke version of Wikipedia in which new edits are approved by Grok instead of by humans "has gone at least partially Nazi. Researchers at Cornell University published an analysis of the site this month showing that, while a majority of Grokipedia's entries are just cribbed from Creative Commons Wikipedia articles, much of its user-created content is based on absurdly unreliable rightwing sources like InfoWars, The Gateway Pundit, Natural News, and VDare. They even found that articles on Grokipedia cited the neo-Nazi message board Stormfront as a source a total of 42 times. By comparison, Wikipedia cites the the neo-Nazi message board…...
