Weird how so many people don't learn ETTD. Via the Daily Beast: "The UFC hemorrhaged money with Donald Trump’s big White House birthday bash. The promotion, led by his ally Dana White, lost a staggering $30 million in its bid to give the president what he wanted, as he turned 80 in June."

Happy Deadline Day, everyone! And just to be clear, that's regarding MLB, not Trump on getting a peace treaty done with Iran, which is every fucking day.

via WaPo: "The wildfire smoke is back, filling skies as far south as Florida Some will waft across a 2,500-mile path that includes the Plains, Midwest and East as dozens of uncontained fires burn across Oregon, Washington and British Columbia." Trump will impose tariffs on Oregon and Washington
#WompWomp Via WaPo: "Musk’s SpaceX tumbles back to Earth, dragging Tesla stock down with it After a record-setting IPO last month, SpaceX’s honeymoon is over. Investors in companies led by Elon Musk, who has lost his trillionaire status, want to see results."
via NYT: "Trump Seems Trapped by Iran War, Even as He Wields the World’s Biggest Hammer" This is why none of the presidents preceding Trump even considered invading Iran. Trump was trapped the day he let Netanyahu talk him into launching the war. Stupid is as stupid does.
Via WaPo: "Trump’s insult-laden speech to press dinner draws mostly stunned silence" "Stunned" silence? Seriously? WTF did they expect from this bloviating asshat? Civility and grace? This encapsulates what's wrong with MSM.

Robert Mueller was the last FBI director to visit Russia while in office in 2013 to investigate the Boston Marathon bombing. Can anyone explain what legitimate investigation Kash Patel is conducting to visit Russia?
Via NYT: "G.O.P. Boxed In on Iran War as Trump Sidelines Congress Republicans now face a worst-case political scenario of being asked to fund an unpopular war over which they have exercised little oversight." OFFS...Trump didn't "box in" Congress, republicans did.
Remember those SciFi movies you thought were farfetched? WaPo: "Armed robots are on the horizon, as Silicon Valley pitches new military tech The Trump administration is pushing the military to use AI, testing long-standing opposition to weapons systems that can pick and attack targets on their own"

@gottalaff.bsky.social Got this email regarding today's cartoon...*sigh* "My grandson asked me what “eviscerate” means. Sadly, I had to tell him. Don’t think I should let him read the comics anymore."
Via WaPo: "DOGE was supposed to be dead. Its remnants are everywhere." I believe that's called "ramifications", and it was hardly unexpected.
Via WaPo: "Trump wants to impose tariffs on Canada in retaliation for wildfire smoke" Nothing Article 25-ish about this. Nosirree...
"Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has revealed that he received calls “suggesting” that Sen. Mitch McConnell was actually dead during his weeks-long hospitalization." Here's a thought, governor...go to the hospital yourself with some state police and find out for yourself...NOW.
WH spokesman Davis Ingle: “President Trump is the sharpest and most accessible President in American history who is working nonstop to solve problems and deliver on his promises.” Bagdad Bob was more convincing.

@gottalaff.bsky.social Here's my theory on why Trump is so fixated on trans people and wants them annihilated...in his famously younger womanizing days, he once (maybe more than once) ended up in bed with a prostitute who he thought was a woman, but was not, and he's fumed over it ever since.
Laugh of the day via WaPo: "A single Republican vote could sink the attorney general nomination. Three GOP senators said they are undecided on Blanche’s record at the Justice Department." Yeah, right. They'll all cave to appease Trump, just as they always do.
Hey, there's nothing more manly than committing genocide!
