There was a time when having someone named Markwayne in a position of power would have been about as scary as things could get.

You hear that schoolgirls and sailers in unarmed ships! No more babyish rules of engagement!
Let's look at the positive...
OK, scratch that. Let's at least make fun of the negative.
Keep in mind that Noem was not fired for overseeing the murder of American citizens or sending untried men to overseas terror prisons, she was fired for a poor TV performance when being questioned by Congress.
Wegovy just came out with a pill. (Though the injections are barely a needle)
In an administration that prides itself on hiring the worst possible people and gleefully celebrates their awful performances, it's really something to be fired. Congrats to Kristi Noem for the achievement.
Roosevelt: "Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
Hegseth: "Speak loudly to compensate for your small dick.”
Hegseth should end the suspense and send Jeffrey Goldberg the plan on Signal.
He’s their preemptive strike against Paramount. They’re ruining themselves before Bari does.
Such positive outbursts are frowned upon here, Hunter.
No self-respecting journalist should attend a Correspondents' Association Dinner with Trump there. Nothing about any of this is a laughing matter.
The preposterous idea that the US had to strike Iran before Israel did because an Israeli pre-emptive strike would have put troops in the region in danger could be the most gutless lie ever spewed by buck-passing men famous for spewing the most gutless lies in modern history.
The fall of the regime has seemed more likely than ever. Whether this is the right way to get rid of the regime, or whether Bibi, Trump, and Hegseth are the right guys to do it, is a different matter.
Epic Fury looks more like Blind Fury, so far.

His boss has said the opposite and they literally started the war by killing the regime.
The thing we knew with most certainty was that Israel and the US had the capability to kill leaders and destroy armaments in Iran.
It’s everything else from our objectives to what happens next that was uncertain, and remains so.
If someone needs no introduction, then don't introduce them by saying that.
If humans are stupid enough to believe Block’s layoffs are not actually about over-hiring, mismanagement, and a flat stock price, maybe we really do need AI to take over.
Good news for Netflix. Terrible news for the rest of us, who are probably getting used to being betrayed by now. Say goodbye to CNN.

After avoiding the SOTU, I peeked and saw this quote: “I believe the tariffs, paid for by foreign countries, will, like in the past, substantially replace the modern-day system of income tax.” I finally understood why Elvis shot TVs.

Speeches need term limits.
This is the worst season of State of the Union.
I’m experiencing the SOTU like I’m an undecided swing state voter.
I’m not watching it.
That cyclone looks like Da Bomb!
How many heads of lettuce did your post require!?
Pretty amazing that comms person at FBI called my @ms.now colleague @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social a liar and demand a correction only for Kash to post a photo from the locker room
Mazel Teeth.
Mike Tirico deserves a gold medal. And a nice long nap.
