Republican lawmakers want a $250 bill featuring President Trump for the nation’s 250th anniversary celebration, but the proposal faces legal and legislative hurdles.

Why would anyone want a giant orange asshole on our money.

Doesn’t he realize his mug and all his gaudy gold shit is going to be ripped off of everything once he’s gone?

Biology will ultimately take care of him. I just hope he hasn’t well and truly fucked the country up beyond repair.

You are not entitled

No, you orange asshole, you are not entitled to it.

Twenty-Second Amendment

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by the Congress, and shall not prevent any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.

Nothing in the 22nd Amendment says you can be President for more than two terms.

NOTHING.

Even if you try some sneaky ass trick like being Vice President or Speaker of the House, that still doesn’t entitle you to another term. It’s fixed, at two. You’re done at the end of your current term. In 2028 we will have a new President, not you, or there will be a real mess for you to deal with.

J.D. Vance, Idiot

“I think it’s very, very important for the pope to be careful when he talks about matters of theology,” Vance said. “If you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful. You’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth and that’s one of the things that I try to do and it’s certainly something I would expect from the clergy.”

Man, JD Vance is an idiot. Are you saying Pope Leo doesn’t know anything about theology? 😵‍💫

Oh, and there’s this nugget from the article about Pop Leo.

Before becoming a bishop, Leo was head of the global Augustinian religious order inspired by the life and teachings of the saint; he wrote his doctoral dissertation on St. Augustine’s understanding of authority.

So, what we have here is JD Vance questioning a man who is, by all accounts, an authority on St. Augustine. Wow.

Is it just me or is Vance a malignant narcissist like Trump?

JD, go find a couch to hump, get out of politics, and forget about being a Catholic.

The White House App is a React Native App

Daring Fireball

Loads JavaScript from a random person’s GitHub Pages site (lonelycpp.github.io) for YouTube embeds. If that account is compromised, arbitrary code runs in the app’s WebView. […]

As quoted by John from the original work by someone called Thereallo. Sorry, the poor site has been Fireball’d.

This isn’t poking at John or the person who did the digging around, but I do have one thing to point out.

I noticed it’s an NPM package targeting React Native applications, so we know it’s a React Native application. An NPM package is installed using npm’s package manager, just as native iOS Devs would use Swift Package Manager(SPM) to get our packages.

I just don’t want the poor person who created it to be dragged for supporting the Trump Administration. They may, they may not, but the NPM pacakage gets somewhere around 100k downloads per week, so it’s built for the masses and the first release was published six years ago.

Murderers and Thugs

⚠️ Before reading any further I’m posting links from writers I really respect who have chosen to use a service that supports and publishes Nazi content. I won’t mention the name here but if you’ve followed me on this blog or on Mastodon you’ve heard me mention it.

I’ve encouraged both of them to leave and find better places to write but I’m a nobody so my begging goes unanswered (by unanswered they don’t interact with their audience much.)

I’ve made a rule not to link to these writers and others as long as they’re using this despicable service but with the murder of Alex Pretti I felt it necessary to ignore my own rule for the moment.

Paul Krugman

It has been clear for a long time, to anyone willing to see, that the people running the federal government — Trump, Miller, Noem, Bovino and more — are monsters.

Robert Reich

He’s coming after all of us who oppose his tyranny and brutality. All of us who defy his dictatorship. All of us who challenge his out-of-control, murderous goons.

Murder. Alex Pretti was murdered in cold blood for what? Filming ICE agents and trying to pick a woman up off the ground.

The man was shot 10 times. If that’s not an intentional act meant to kill him, I don’t know what is.

Our democracy is collapsing. When future generations of Americans and other countrymen write about the Second American Civil War they will name Minneapolis the event that catalyzed Americans to act. To use violence against violence.

Donald J. Trump, you are a thug, racist, pedophile, and rapist. You can now add murderer to that list.

It’s a dark time in the world and to have a once great nation fall this quickly is gut wrenching.
