The blindfold has been ripped away from Lady Justice a long time ago.

You know very well which site I'm referring to "Snarkyhistorian."

I know you still watch that site but you're not allowed to comment.

 

OMG!!! You just made my day! That's rich!

 

You guys are just too nasty with each other at times, civility should be at the core of our exchanges. I know, that's my end game.

Anyway, enough of the personal stuff and let me share the latest from The Bulwark. JVL is taking some time off this week and today's Triad was being filled in by Sam Stein. He shared his thoughts regarding some of the trump screw-ups and it might be interesting to recap:

1. A pileup of screw-ups

Last week’s revelation that the Trump administration’s high-stakes standoff with Harvard University had been sparked by a demand letter sent erroneously is notable for two reasons. The most obvious is that the resulting imbroglio, along with ending billions of dollars worth of federally supported research, threatens to damage the crown jewel of American academia.

The second is for the sobering reminder the episode provides about how this new Trump administration functions. This is not a smooth-running operation. Indeed, the extent to which Trump’s first three months back in office have been characterized by mistakes—from bumbling embarrassments to calamitous errors endangering national security—is frankly breathtaking.

Weeks before the White House’s antisemitism task force sent an “unauthorized” letter to Harvard making demands so onerous (such as federal oversight of admissions) that university leaders felt compelled to publicly fight it, Trump officials acknowledged they mistakenly deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador.

Weeks before that, the White House conceded that top national security officials had erroneously added the editor of the Atlantic to a Signal chat where they discussed war plans.

In the middle of all that, economists at the American Enterprise Institute noted that the tariff formula the president was applying to dozens of countries had a massive mathematical flaw in plain sight, while penguins in the Indian Ocean were dismayed to learn that the tariffs were targeting them.

Those were the main-course screw-ups. The side dishes have been plentiful, too. Health and Human Service Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he had mistakenly fired an unhealthy chunk of the federal health care bureaucracy; the State Department said it cut funding to some lifesaving UN food programs by mistake; and the Justice Department was dinged for putting out personal information in its release of files around President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.

In his next section he highlighted Elon's mistakes, but what's the point? I have no reason to kick the man when he's (his Tesla stock) is down.

I'd be surprised in anyone argued against the value/importance of civility in our discourse.

It's just freaking common sense; which i'm know for having.

 

That’s because they didn’t add their wives, sons and other relatives who had no business being there. They also didn’t accidentally add Hannity or those other performance actors at Fox.

 

Did Karoline Leavitt dress up 8n the bunny costume or did Shawn Spicer fly in for a repeat performance? I betting on Leavitt from the height of the bunny next to Trump.

 

Amidst the angst and frustration of late, here's a quick headline to bring a smile to your face:

Woman Dragged From Republican Town Hall Seeks $5 Million in Damages.

That's what happens when you hire the goon squad to shield the politicians from their constituents.

 

Here's another one just plucked from my news feed; soul crushing for sure for any Tesla stock holders:
Tesla profits drop 71% amid anti-Musk backlash.

 

It's amazing to see the hate and the fact that people are celebrating the failure of a company who is trying to eliminate baseless spending of your tax dollars. Where is the upside?

 

As usual just a part of the story. Let's just see how that lawsuit goes before you pat yourself on the back before reporting parts of an event. She bit a guy. But you keep posting your left wing news with no verification. It doesn't make for a good look.

 

Yeah, the private security dicks were fired and told to get out of Dodge. The are also facing criminal charges. I do love a well run Republican town hall.

 

What do you all say if we just all agree to disagree because nobody is going to change anybody's mind and just not post anything else on this thread?

I for one, am done!
