I gotta prep for something this afternoon, so bear with me while I use this as an intro instead of writing something you will probably ignore anyways…
¡enlaces!
El Presidenté Mujer has gone on a tear in the past week. Raking up win after win, such as pretending to be relevant in the midst of an ongoing war, and not being able to accommodate Iran’s request to play their World Cup games in Mexico…
…so Mexico goes nuclear! Starting with “the elderly”, Mexicans are now able to sign up for universal healthcare as early as 2027. Benefits will be expanded to the rest of the 120 million Mexicans. I am not one to make predictions but a few come to mind:
- Cartels will take over public hospitals and be much more efficient with their MAIDS system
- Medical tourism will only continue to get bigger…Remember, this is a culture that believes only poor people breastfeed.
- US hospitals will somehow get even more crowded as a result
I don’t know about you, but if somebody voted for this, its hilarious.
Whenever they say “drug boat” I am picturing Cheech and Chong on a sailboat three sheets to the wind, billowing smoke from the back.
Here’s some tunes. Get on with it!
Thank you for the video. It played just fine for me this time.
How many times?
It’s almost enough for me to start liking soccer.
Almost.
I suspect the women in that video have had some cosmetic work done to them.
Was it covered by universal healthcare?
It should under public good?
It wasn’t covered by much of anything.
To register, Mexicans need to bring a government-issued photo ID, a certified CURP, proof of address from within the last six months, and a contact phone number.
How racist.
I know right? I wouldn’t think Mexico would deny people healthcare, but here it is.
Like border control and deportation, it’s fine when other countries do it.
The boat strikes have continued in Latin America even as the U.S. military has focused on operations in the Middle East, where the U.S. was engaged in a war with Iran for several weeks.
OMG how will we manage? Trump has completely overreached.
Assuming it’s implemented with that well-known Mexican efficiency, we can expect 2027’s rollout sometime around 2035.
Good news, if you live in the south, you won’t have to travel so far for some medically assisted suicide.
Democracy in shambles
Swalwell’s and Gonzales’ resignations, in other words, will be the current Congress’ eighth and ninth resignations, respectively. For those unfamiliar with Capitol Hill, midterm departures are not common, and nine resignations in a year and a half is a very large number.
It’s also a reflection of one of the most woeful Congresses in recent memory. When the number of resignations easily surpasses the number of major bills passed, that’s just embarrassing.
But it’s not the only relevant piece of evidence in the broader indictment against the 119th Congress. This is, after all, a Congress that has voluntarily surrendered many of its responsibilities and prerogatives to the White House, while simultaneously proving itself to be an exceedingly dysfunctional and unproductive institution.
Come back, Nancy Pelosi!
most woeful Congresses in recent memory.
If you have the memory of a goldfish… then sure.
Please, pass more bills. A nation needs you. 🙏
Well, it *would* be nice if they repealed legislation….
Yeah that goes without saying.
They need to make Trump’s EO’s the law of the land, otherwise the next Dem will just sign one EO reversing all of Trump’s EO’s.
That’s kind of what they’re hoping for – a return to the days of normalcy when the Democrats got to do whatever they wanted, and the Republicans got to make eloquent, statesmanlike concession speeches.
I think the septuagenarian fossils in Congress still think that they’re ‘working’ with the Clinton-era Democrats – they genuinely don’t realize that the modern Democrats have all gone insane.
Yeah, surrendered to the White House. Pay no attention to the bureaucracy or the judiciary.
Shocking revelation
President Donald Trump had two bags of McDonald’s delivered to the Oval Office on Monday by a DoorDash driver he tipped $100, using his favorite food and a reality TV flourish to promote a tax policy he says has meant big rebates for Americans who earn gratuities.
Sharon Simmons, dressed in a “DoorDash Grandma” T-shirt, walked up to the Oval Office’s exterior door and knocked as media cameras rolled. Trump popped out and said, “Hello. Nice to see you,” before proclaiming, “Look at this!” and then, glancing toward a pack of nearby reporters, offering, “This doesn’t look staged, does it?”
It was, of course. Making it onto the White House grounds alone requires obtaining prior permission and passing through security, while accessing the Oval Office — not to mention getting so close to the president — would have been impossible without additional screenings and background checks.
You’re not fooling anybody, Cartoon Villain!
Biden literally had a fake Oval Office set.
When Dems pull stuff like this it’s always cringe AF – but Donald is still a showman. And they hate that.
+1 Slice of cheese on a frozen burger
To wit:
That’s just the latest in numerous episodes of cringe in those 100 days.
It’s totally mind-blowing that an American president likes food from the first and most successful fast-food franchise in American history, much less have a photo-op about it.
He should be sentenced to musical re-education:

Did you know that people when Trump was growing up, people didn’t celebrate Pride Month and cars didn’t have seatbelts? How did they survive?
Only a SNP would order and eat cold delivery McDonalds.
On Monday, Simmons, who DoorDash said was from Arkansas, recounted how the tax changes had helped reduce the amount of income she had to claim. Simmons subsequently told reporters she had earned more than $11,000 in tips a year. Exact figures on her savings were difficult to verify without Simmons’ tax statement wasn’t provided to reporters.
That’s some hardnosed old school journalisming, right there.
Yes. I lived through those times as well.
A student in my truck driving class was Army infantry in Iraq and Afghanistan. He got shot in the head and leg. He asked me about my time, and when I gave him the gist of my tale of woe, he suggested I try to get a VA disability rating.
Eh, there’s nothing wrong with me physically aside from high cholesterol which I am now taking medicine for. If I can’t find a job, I’ll consider becoming a rider of the purple wage. It’s against my libertarian principles to not be self-sufficient. I feel bad enough about having been a fedgov employee twice (Peace Corps and Army).

I donate the majority of my VA payout.
That’s a nice solution.

Olivia Troye, a first-term Trump administration staffer who emerged as a vocal critic of the president in 2020, is launching a run for Congress as a Democrat in Virginia.
In a Tuesday campaign launch video, Troye cast herself as the candidate best positioned to take on President Donald Trump, pointing to the president bypassing Congress in sending federal immigration agents to U.S. cities and starting a war in Iran.
“Trump doesn’t scare me,” she said. “I took him on when it mattered the most. And I’m ready to do it again. It’s time to send some real courage to Congress.”
Just like when Joan of Arc conquered the Martians.
Every political ad I see from the Dems mentions “WILL STAND UP TO TRUMP”. No policies, no ideas, nothing to make anyone’s life better, just GET TRUMP.
Despite the media’s propagandizing and the leftist knee jerk reaction, pretty sure that sending immigration agents to round up criminal illegals isn’t unpopular. I’d say a good chunk, if not a majority and far more than the amnesty crowd, wants to deport all illegals and a few legal immigrants.
Troye worked for then-Vice President Mike Pence during Trump’s first term, advising him on counterterrorism and homeland security. She also served on the White House’s coronavirus task force before leaving the administration in a public split months before the 2020 presidential election.
Troye then became an active critic of Trump, slamming the president for minimizing the Covid-19 pandemic and sharing fears that Trump wouldn’t accept the results of the election if he lost to then-Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
“The evil I saw in that White House was staggering,” she said in her launch video. “In 2020, I finally said ‘enough.’ And they came for me. Kash Patel, Stephen Miller, even Trump himself. They sent MAGA after me, tried to bankrupt me, threatened to kill me. They thought they could silence me.”
Wheeeeee!
This one sounds well-adjusted and stable.
lol Bullshit
Are you sure they didn’t run an ad with her in the crosshairs?
worked for then-Vice President Mike Pence
She worked for the establishment Republican that was actively subverting Trump’s administration from the inside? And she doesn’t like Trump? Wow what a compelling tale of disillusionment.

Maybe Klingon culture is such that they send their idiots out to get blown up in space battles while the others work to keep their civilization going and advancing.

I dunno, the shows always make a pretense of them being a species entirely comprised of tuffgais. I always wondered who the fuck was playing “scientist” or “doctor”. All of them seemed to be dum-dums.

Unlike his fellow candidates, Conrad rebelled against the regimen. During a Rorschach inkblot test, he told the psychiatrist that one blot card revealed a sexual encounter complete with lurid detail. When shown a blank card, he turned it around, pushed it back and replied, “It’s upside down”.[7]
Then when he was asked to deliver a stool sample to the onsite lab, he placed it in a gift box and tied a red ribbon around it. Eventually, he decided that he had had enough. After dropping his full enema bag on the desk of the clinic’s commanding officer, he walked out.[2]: 113–119 His initial application to NASA was denied with the notation not suitable for long-duration flight.[8]

Yay Pete Conrad, 3rd man to walk on the moon.

What will they do when Trump is gone?
“I’ll stand up to beltway insiders, fat cats, and my *Trump-like* opponents.”
Standing up to Trump is much easier than fixing potholes and improving schools.
QUIET, YOU!
Standing up to Trump is easier than standing up to the teachers’ unions.
If history is any indicator, the next Republican will be WORSE THAN TRUMP.

Today is wonderful.
It’s Taco bar day at work. There’s homemade salsas so good I could drink them straight from the bowl. A smoked Serrano sauce that I could suck straight out of the bottle, but of course no beers.
I can’t even fit this one in my mouth.
Links + tacos= win.
These euphemisms.
Neither could the McDonalds CEO.
