Headline: Trump's IRS Pick Had Some Interesting People Pay Off His Personal Debt

Subhed: Billy Long received quite a bit of money after Trump picked him to lead the Internal Revenue Service.

https://apple.news/Ab_xYKwTuTz-JhzB7Jg57fQ

And the acting commissioner (for 2 days) was that douchebag Gary Shapley that tried to be a "whistleblower" on Hunter Biden.

Apparently Bessent was not amused.

Pentagon looks like a mess. Who would have thunk it. My cuts. Full article is linked.

Joe Kasper, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s chief of staff will leave his role in the coming days for a new position at the agency, according to a senior administration official, amid a week of turmoil for the Pentagon.

Kasper had requested an investigation into Pentagon leaks in March, which included military operational plans for the Panama Canal, a second carrier headed to the Red Sea, Musk’s visit and a pause in the collection of intelligence for Ukraine.

The changes will leave Hegseth without a chief of staff, deputy chief of staff, or senior adviser in his front office.

“There is a complete meltdown in the building, and this is really reflecting on the secretary’s leadership,” said a senior defense official. “Pete Hegseth has surrounded himself with some people who don’t have his interests at heart.”

This week’s terminations follow a purge of top military officers in February, including former Joint Chiefs Chair Gen. C.Q. Brown and Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Lisa Franchetti.

“There probably will be more chaos,” said a third defense official. “It certainly reinforces the fear factor, awareness that no one’s job is safe.”

Please do. You are nothing but bluster. The timelines just don't pencil out. The only potential roadmap I could see to even a starting point of a good robust study in that timeframe would be leveraging the FDA Sentinel system. 

Why are you just assuming that a good robust study is the objective of the initiative?

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?  Broad based, long term tariffs are stupid.  Stupid people like them.  Stupid people defend those stupid people.

Individual levels of sister fucking among SEC schools.

Texas 0%

Aggy 25%

OU 150%

Alabama 150%

Vandy, Tenn, UK, Auburn, Mizz, Ole Miss, MSU, Georgia, USC, UF, Piggy, LSU - 10% each

 

Aggregate level of SEC sister fucking: 27.8%

 

The extremely high, performative tariffs being placed on China is on main stage in the theatre. There is also the factor of weighting how much we bring in from each of those countries, but that's the gist of the point.

What you don’t understand is that 

1) it’s aggregated in the graph and 

2) it makes your point even weaker

this is basically you right now:

Best 😆 Laughing GIFs - find & share on Gifer

 

Let me try another way. That chart is based on one of the Budget Lab at Yale analyses, right?  Here is the effective tariff rates disaggregated: 

China - 99.4%

Canada - 17.4%

Mexico - 15.1%

Rest of the World - 11.2%

I think that the "fentanyl" tariffs are stupid, but the primary target here it is pretty clear. As I mentioned last page, I think this is all short-term bluster to set up a new trade framework, particularly with China. And I am ok with running that play. American consumerism may have to recalibrate.  

Anyways, Happy Easter buddy. If you want to take this up further in one of the tariffs threads next week, happy to do so.

My lord, I swore off feeding the troll, but this one is just too much. This is one of the dumbest things you’ve ever posted and that’s saying something since there’s such a vast catalog to choose from. Congrats, my man, on this grand achievement.

But wait, there’s more:

From the link: “The second chat on Signal — which is a commercially available app not authorized to be used to communicate sensitive or classified national defense information — included 13 people, the person said. They also confirmed the chat was dubbed “Defense ' Team Huddle.”

That article is, uh, remarkable.  It pretends there is a standard of competence, defends the indefensible, and yet still calls out Hegseth as incompetent.

It's harder to lead the Pentagon than it is to lick Trump's asshole on FoxNews and shitpost on Twitter!? You get the fuck right out of town.

Plastic Fantastic Kristi's purse was snatched. She was lugging around $3K in cash.

The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.

That's a shame gif goes here.

Let's be clear, this wasn't intentional but it's the kind of headline making stuff that team Trump encourages.  It's far better for the NY Times and it's cohort get hot and bothered about this for a week than talk about the obvious corruption involved implementing a tariff scheme with carve outs to whoever is willing to pay, a golf tournament at Mar-a-Lago feting every gulf oil producer and whoever else is buying Trump and Melania meme coins.

I would have thought that was its own separate bag for all she trowels on.

Hahaha. I thought that was a Gary Peterson type photoshop until I saw the video just below. The kids are dreading that the groupchats they're part of might leak. Or maybe they're the ones that leaked this latest batch.

Those kids have the look on their face that they were forced to attend. Most likely they spent all weekend asking Mom if there was anyway they could stay home. Of course, Hegseth couldn't attend an easter Monday (???) at the WH without his kids.
