Sadly, I'm sure someone will make this argument unironically. Many don't know that right wing terror groups exist because the media they follow doesn't tell them.

Trump in total crybaby dictator mode is now going per executive order named "Addressing Risks from Perkins Coie LLP" against mentioned law company, which had a mandate by Hillary Clinton.

Quote: Section 1. Purpose. The dishonest and dangerous activity of the law firm Perkins Coie LLP (“Perkins Coie”) has affected this country for decades. Notably, in 2016 while representing failed Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, Perkins Coie hired Fusion GPS, which then manufactured a false “dossier” designed to steal an election. This egregious activity is part of a pattern. Perkins Coie has worked with activist donors including George Soros to judicially overturn popular, necessary, and democratically enacted election laws, including those requiring voter identification. In one such case, a court was forced to sanction Perkins Coie attorneys for an unethical lack of candor before the court.

In addition to undermining democratic elections, the integrity of our courts, and honest law enforcement, Perkins Coie racially discriminates against its own attorneys and staff, and against applicants. Perkins Coie publicly announced percentage quotas in 2019 for hiring and promotion on the basis of race and other categories prohibited by civil rights laws. It proudly excluded applicants on the basis of race for its fellowships, and it maintained these discriminatory practices until applicants harmed by them finally sued to enforce change.

My Administration is committed to ending discrimination under “diversity, equity, and inclusion” policies and ensuring that Federal benefits support the laws and policies of the United States, including those laws and policies promoting our national security and respecting the democratic process. Those who engage in blatant race-based and sex-based discrimination, including quotas, but purposefully hide the nature of such discrimination through deceiving language, have engaged in a serious violation of the public trust. Their disrespect for the bedrock principle of equality represents good cause to conclude that they neither have access to our Nation’s secrets nor be deemed responsible stewards of any Federal funds.

[...]

Trump's idiots are now reviewing the security clearance of that company, and to terminate any government contracts with it. Amongst other things.

So Trump is now going fully open againts lawyers he dislikes.

Sounds less like a publicity stunt photo op, and more like an actual god damned act of sabotage against California.

I swear everyone in California should "File for an extension" on their federal taxes until The Traitor In Chief is ousted from office.

I'm beyond confused. We're responding to a lack of water by draining off water?

Put a chicken coup on the White House lawn!

"I've got a beautiful brain, let me tell you, a wonderful brain, an amazing brain, the best brain ever, I'm a stable genius, a beautiful brain... and in order to celebrate my beautiful brain let's make another awesome executive order named "Brainiac is no match against Donald Trump, ever!" Oh, what a beautiful brain I got! "

I missed this in the cesspit of news (or news cesspit) coming out of Washington this past week. But of COURSE they have.

GOP rep introduces measure putting Trump’s face on $100 bill

First-term GOP Rep. Brandon Gill (Texas) has introduced a measure that would require all $100 bills to have President Trump’s face on them.

The legislation, titled the Golden Age Act of 2025, highlights a common sentiment from the president and his allies, which is that his second term will usher in the “Golden Age of America.”

The golden age. Of America. Okay then, why not go hog out and put his face on a trillion dollar bill? I mean the hundred, really? That's not golden, baby!

 

[Jopsy Pendragon]

Hard to tell, he doesn't have a functional brain.

His brain is definitely broken, but it seems his puppet masters have trained him to regurgitate their ideas as his own. He's a freaking 'meat shield' for the GOP's domestic sabotage agenda.

I mean, that water was there and I am sure that a bunch of Civil Engineers had already investigated way it may or may not be useful, but one Orange Boi was all "Its right there! Open the flood gates!" So he probably knew better.

Their 'brilliant' suggestion to put a chicken coup in every backyard clearly demonstrates that they have no concept nor concern for how the majority of urban society currently lives. How many in the middle class can even afford a house with a backyard nowadays? How many poor and unemployed people can do so? How many people are living in high rises, low rises, and alternate accomodations, with no yard and obviously no place to keep a chicken?
Even if you could keep a chicken, would you risk it with avian flu rampaging? Why not potentially invite said virus to infect your poor little chicken in your own backyard?
The stupidity and ignorance of their rich life out-of-touch views boggles my mind.

'Make the VA fail': DOGE puts PTSD research and veterans’ cancer care on the chopping block

The Department of Government Efficiency cancelled and then reinstated almost 300 contracts at the Department of Veterans Affairs earlier this week. But there are more contracts that are on the chopping block, including ones that are “central to patient safety,” NBC News reported Thursday.

What had been a list of 875 VA contracts scheduled for termination a little over a week ago has now become 585 canceled contracts, theVA said Monday," Gretchen Morgenson and Laura Strickler report. "The about-face is a rare public retreat by the so-called efficiency operation known as DOGE, which has come under fire for moving to ax crucial government services and overstating the value of some of its savings to taxpayers.”

On Wednesday, the VA announced that they would be laying off 80,000 workers, after dismissing 2,400 last month.

Their 'brilliant' suggestion to put a chicken coup in every backyard clearly demonstrates that they have no concept nor concern for how the majority of urban society currently lives.

More to the point, however, the cost of setting up a productive hen coop is considerable and there is a steep learning curve to keeping them alive, well and laying eggs. Ask anyone who has tried to raise chickens in their back yard.

 

[Casey Pelous]

My neighbor has a henhouse in their back yard. It has been completely wiped out twice, probably by raccoons or coyotes. Several other individual chickens have, shall we say, "mysteriously vanished."

Any yard that could reasonably contain a chicken coop is almost certainly host to at least those predators, never mind the various cats, possums, stray dogs, and even birds of prey that, given the smallest opportunity, will quite happily snack on your feathered egg machines.

Then, as Mydradyl points out, what if Tweety Bird brings a case of avian flu to the henhouse? Not only do your chickens get wiped out, but you are at risk of catching it. As a kid who had the chore of gathering the eggs at Grandma's house, I can tell you those eggs do not gather themselves, nor do you get eggs without contact with the chickens.
