Beautiful pics!

I want to tell you, Chuckie, I want to tell you, Schumer, you have released the flatulent whirlwind and you will pay the price. You won’t know what hit you when your fellow idiots primary your sorry, senior discount ass.

Remember the 'transplajt doctor' (sic) who was 'deported' (actually refused reentry after returning from Lebanon) that we were discussing this am in the last sunrise thread?

Well, guess what ...

DHS Denies Reentry for Brown U. Professor Due to Attending Terrorist Funeral in Lebanon

Rasha Alawieh attended the “funeral of Hassan Nasrallah— a brutal terrorist who led Hezbollah, responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade terror spree."

Donald Trump has immediately revoked the Secret Service protection afforded to Hunter Biden and Ashley Biden by their father on his way out the door.

Hunter spent $500,000 US taxpayer dollars vacationing in South Africa with 18 Secret Service members in tow. The moment Trump found out about it, he stripped their free security.

Not that the Secret Service is any good at protecting anybody, as Trump well knows.

FormerLawClerk said...

Of course, if Trump was a baller, he'd restore Ashley Biden's protection and say it's to protect her from her sexually abusive father.

I was reading that in operation Arctic Frost the FBI (Thibideau) had access to government phones previously used by Trump and Pence. That raises the question of whether our duly elected government has records of communications and deliberations over pardons issued by Biden, discussions with state prosecutors re:Trump, pressuring Facebook and Twitter to censor dissent, etc. And if there are no communications to be found, the circumstances of their deletion will itself be investigated.

'The Pen in the Arena' is a working title for the 46th USA President's autobiography. And who's more eminently qualified to write it than Autopen?
It was there, when Joe was not. It was there when Kamala was not. It was there when The Press was not.
Autopen could very well be the first Nobel Prize winner for Literature.

"No presidential biographer has ever won a Nobel Prize for Literature" (see my previous comment 👆🏽)

I got lucky there. I should be more careful. Autopen might've been great for Joe Biden. But I wouldn't want to be replaced by an Autopen. But getting back to Biden. Autopen would be another first for the Biden/Autopen administration long line of firsts.

Reading reports that Hunter dined with Ellen Degeneres in Capetown S.A. this evening. Now what could those two be doing together in South Africa? A little research on my part found that the extradition process in South Africa is “somewhat ambiguous.” Especially given the prevalence of bribery and graft there.

Hmm….

Lem Vibe Banditory said...

Autopen presidential biographer and Nobel Prize for Literature winner that is. 👆🏽

Autopen belongs in an Adult Swim sketch. (baby steps)

But, but... Hunter told a judge he was broke as a tooth fairy in a house full of dead heads.

This is a wonderful story

Wow 🥹 That was a wonderful story.

First picture, are they loons or Canadian geese? Can't tell. Spring is arriving soon, though - we have redbuds and mexican plums in bloom.

And the winning continues.

ATLANTA (AP) — A judge has ordered Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to pay more than $54,000 in attorneys' fees and to turn over documents after finding that her office violated Georgia's Open Records Act.

Attorney Ashleigh Merchant represents former Trump campaign staffer Michael Roman, one of the 18 people indicted in August 2023 along with President Donald Trump on allegations that they illegally tried to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss in Georgia. Merchant sued in January 2024, alleging that the district attorney's office had failed to turn over public records she had requested.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Rachel Krause found that the failures to comply with the records law “were intentional, not done in good faith, and were substantially groundless and vexatious.” Because Willis and her office “lacked substantial justification” for not complying, Merchant is entitled to attorneys' fees and litigation expenses totaling just over $54,000, Krause found.

I'm amazed that nobody is disgusted by the Biden Administration leaving 3 astronauts in space for 9 months out of hatred for Elon Musk. It's kind of like kidnapping.

Biden's sick, loathsome behavior reminded me of ship owners who just abandon their boats whenever they're unprofitable. The sailors onboard can get stuck on these boats for months or years because they lack immigration papers. Must be awful.

Great story, Peachy.

Disgusted doesn't even begin to describe how I felt when I first learned that. Seething would be better.

Imagine this happened on Trump's watch. Every, fucking night there would be a day counter leading off the evening news.

Funny, Mark didn't mention that.

Seems to me that there's White House logs so it could be determined when The Autopen was used and by whom and for what. It's all quite easy: a staff member explains the procedure and the White House logs back him/her up (Easy - as long as there was a procedure.)

Original Mike said...

It does seem that if the autopen is used to sign laws, orders, etc when the President is not physically present when the law, order, etc is being signed, there ought to be official documentation that the President instructed the action to be taken.

Thanks for posting Peachy!! That brought tears to my eyes!!!

Leland said...

I agree wildswan. This isn’t something to get excited about if you are a Democrat. They should be laughing at how easy it will be to show Biden authorized the pardons.

Leland said...

I found this an interesting review of a new book attacking Trump. I post this because I have yet to see the normal lefties troll mention, which is a good sign. Maybe they are smart enough to avoid the disinformation from their side. My guess is they haven’t yet heard the news.

Link to nowhere, Leland.

"This isn’t something to get excited about if you are a Democrat. They should be laughing at how easy it will be to show Biden authorized the pardons."

Exactly. It should be just as easy as demonstrating to everybody that they don't cheat in elections or wastefully spend tax dollars to enrich their families and friends, you'd think.

Makes you wonder why they're opposed to doing any of that, doesn't it?

Iman, I don’t know why the linked failed. Try this: https://xcancel.com/realannapaulina/status/1901716486198043055
