All this time, they kept the water from the people of California … https://t.co/I7MzrvNM4n

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) February 1, 2025

In the real world the Los Angeles Times reports that the release of water from the two reservoirs by the Army Corps of Engineers nearly flooded a shit ton of farmland, will end up flowing nowhere near Los Angeles since it can’t go over fucking mountain ranges, and – according to Congressman Ted Lieu – could jeopardize crops by depleting reservoirs needed for the summer.

Oh and the Palisades and Eaton Fires were, as of Friday, 100 percent contained, finally. So three weeks after the hydrants ran out in a situation that had completely overwhelmed the system and nothing short of an act of God would have been able to stop the flames from consuming everything in their path, the water infrastructure that does not lead to those hydrants but national security-level important farmland highly susceptible to drought was opened up on the orders of a president who apparanely believes that gravity works in a north-south direction and that water from Central California would make it to Los Angeles. That $18 Big Mac meal in Connecticut though.

The Trump Regime is finalizing paperwork to revoke the parole of more than 530,000 migrants from Nicaragua, Cuba, Venezuela, and Haiti who arrived since 2021 and were permitted to live and work in the United States, CNN reports on more low-effort “mass deportation” programming.

They already have all the names and addresses of these people. It takes no actual work to track them down and round them up, unless they go into hiding elsewhere, which many surely will once the word gets out that they’re no longer permitted to be in the country. All of these people have been screen, vetted, vaccinated, and undoubtedly most of working age are legally employed.

So really it does nothing except make it look like Trump is removing “illegals” when the hard work of arresting the large number of them who were actually here legally who will disperse and go underground will take years and probably never actually be fully complete. It’s just making their lives harder, which is good enough for the dipshits who will defend it as another huge victory for Trump.

“It is so good to have the Venezuela Hostages back home and, very important to note, that Venezuela has agreed to receive, back into their Country, all Venezuela illegal aliens who were encamped in the US, including gang members of Tren de Aragua. Venezuela has further agreed to supply the transportation back. We are in the process of removing record numbers of illegal aliens from all Countries, and all Countries have agreed to accept these illegal aliens back. Furthermore, record numbers of criminals are being removed from our Country, and the Border numbers are the strongest they have been since the First Term of the Trump Administration!” the fat fuck posted on Truth Social just now, the absence of any actual numbers only helping to make the point here.

Lawmakers in the Dem-majority New York state Assembly are hammering out a bill that could give Governor Kathy Hochul more time to set dates for special elections, Gothamist reports on a move that would have the immediate consequence of cramping Jesus Dork House Speaker Mike Johnson’s already tiny majority by dragging out the vacancy in the state’s 21st District left by shrill monster Congresswoman Elise Stefanik’s pending departure for the United Nations ambassadorship.

Under the current law, the governor must proclaim a special election within 10 days of a vacancy and the special must be held within 70 to 80 days after the proclamation. Stefanik advanced out of the Senate Foreign Relations committee on Thursday, so assuming the final confirmation vote is this week it’d be early May when the R+9 district would send a different far right asshole to Congress. As soon as Monday however, that could change as New York Dems are looking at pushing it to at the earliest June or even November under a patina of making it more cost efficient.

A Hochul spokesperson told Gothamist the gov “believes it’s critical to increase voter turnout and reduce the cost of election administration and she would support legislation that achieves that goal.”

Florida Gov Ron DeSantis meanwhile set the special elections to replace National Security Advisor Mike Waltz and non-Attorney General Matt Gaetz for April 1st. When Dem Congressman Alcee Hastings died on April 6, 2021 DeSantis set the special in the D+25 district for January 18, 2022.

In yet another corporate capitulation to MAGA, fast food giant McDonald’s on Friday agreed to settle a lawsuit brought by some obsessed right wing activist cock knob against its Latino student scholarship program, removing the requirement that applicants had been born to at least one parent of Hispanic heritage and opening it up to all who can “demonstrate their impact and contribution to the Hispanic and Latino community through their activities and leadership,” Reuters reports.

American Alliance for Equal Rights, led by anti-DEI wiener Edward Blum, informed a Nashville federal judge on Friday they had agreed to withdraw from the case after the McSettlement. “It is a shame that over many years thousands of students were shut out of this program because they were not the preferred ethnicity,” said Blum, deploying the circular logic that remedies to the discriminatory conditions of the past are somehow in and of themselves discriminatory to Caucasians.

McDonald’s in a statement said it disagreed with the merits but “reached the conclusion that settling this lawsuit and evolving the program is the right thing to do for its recipients.” Whatever.

The seminally concert documentary classic The Last Waltz could not be ignored as long as there are still some halfway decent non-R-rated movies worth propagating from YouTube.

Let me go in a straight line here about the Floridian husband of Venezuelan ICE detainee Vianes (?) Ramirez: On Monday I wrote an article headlined “Please, man – let’s work something out, let me keep my wife here” about the unnamed Miami, Florida man’s cries for an audience with convicted felon President Trump. In it I speculated that, given his choice of words, the man very, very likely voted for the fat fuck. One would think a Harris voter – or even a guy who didn’t vote at all – would be absolutely disconsolate and furious over losing their partner to the whims of a white nationalist tyrant. Instead he sounded far more like he has been betrayed by a personal friend he trusted.

As some of you may have noticed, I link a lot of stories from Yahoo and AOL News’s feeds from national and local outlets – the two sites are a great resource for collating stories from all over the place and load fast as they’re typically free of extraneous bullshit and autoplay videos. Which is why I was unaware that the man’s quotes that I had copied and pasted from the AOL repost of CBS Miami’s article had been captured in the above video until more than a day after I printed the story.

Trump FCC Reichsminister Brendan Carr on Friday ordered CBS to hand over the transcript and footage from former Vice President Kamala Harris’s interview with 60 Minutes, the Los Angeles Times reports. Guess Paramount isn’t settling their $10 billion “election interference” lawsuit convicted felon President Trump filed against them fast enough. Keep in mind Trump was too chickenshit to do this interview, plus the CNN town hall, plus a second debate, the fat pussy avoiding all possible contact with non-MAGA media in that last month a big ingredient to his win.

Keeping with the promised “surgical” retaliation against US tariffs on Canadian exports, former Finance Minister and candidate for the Premiership Chrystia Freeland tells the Canadian Press that Mapleland should target Teslas and American alcohol at 100 percent as part of its tariff retaliation package when convicted felon President Trump’s levies go into effect on Saturday.

Freeland also said she wants to be sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pain as well.

Asked how he’s supposed to square his campaign promises of lowering prices with raising them by imposing tariffs on a whole shit ton of products they buy every day, convicted felon President Trump on Friday told a reporter that “Tariffs don’t cause inflation. Tariffs cause success. There could some temporary short term disruption. And people understand that,” almost as if he didn’t just win pretty much solely because enough people did not, in fact, understand that inflation was not Joe Biden’s fault. And now he’s going to raise prices on them deliberately by 10 and 25 percent.

Walking heart attack West Virginia Senator Jim Justice, who may or may not live to the end of his current term, tells Axios that people are overreacting to the coming consequences for convicted felon President Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, saying “Everybody runs through the streets saying, ‘The sky is falling! The sky is falling!’ but it doesn’t fall.”

“Well yeah, no shit the sky isn’t going to fall, you sooty fuck, so how about you explain why Americans should be cool with paying 10 percent more on toys, electronics, batteries, clothes, furniture, and a whole bunch of other shit as well as 25 percent more on everything that comes from Canada and Mexico?” the Axios reporter probably did not say. The response was likely much closer to “Ahaha! Good one Senator, we’ll print that! Here, I got you a Danish. It’s cherry with a lot of that sticky sugary stuff drizzled on, just as you like it. Thank you so much for the quote!”

“The purge is bigger than first understood, we are told, and includes more than 20 heads of FBI field offices, including the ones in Miami and Washington, DC,” tweeted NBC News’s Ken Dillanian on Friday following up a previous report on top FBI leaders promoted by now-former Director Chris Wray being ordered to resign/retire or face demotion and reassignment to the parking garage.

Oh and nobody cares if you don’t get the headline. You should watch Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith instead of complaining that it’s so inscrutable and weird for a story about an FBI purge.

Federal prosecutors based at the Middle District of Tennessee in Nashville have withdrawn from a legal dispute over evidence seized in an August 2024 FBI raid on MAGA Congressman Andy Ogles’s home and office, in what WTVF reports is a strong indicator that the shitbag’s dead-end effort to allow his Orange Allah to run for a third term has paid off and the second Trump Reich’s Justice Department will drop the investigation into some scam where Ogles loaned his campaign $320,000 of money that he didn’t have in an apparent attempt to look stronger in his 2022 primary.

Pretty fucked up to say the least and in a way considerably more fucked up even than pardoning all of the Capitol rioters. At least a lot of those pieces of shit still had to go through the wringer. It’s also not like saying “Can you imagine if Joe Biden did this before Gold Bars Bob Menendez went on trial?” is going to give any pause to Trump’s ballsucking cultists, but it’s still impossible to ignore.

Of course the equivocation is going to be that Biden pardoned Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney, Anthony Fauci, and so on before he left office to help them escape “justice” but the rejoinder to that is Trump should just pardon Ogles if he wants him to avoid getting prosecuted. At least bring it to that level.

Crushed with grief over the loss of his son in the horrific collision with a commercial jetliner over the Potomac on Wednesday night, Georgia man Gary O’Hara tells CBS News that any attempt to blame the crash on “DEI” is only adding to his family’s grief, adding that no one in the Army lands a spot on a Blackhawk without being qualified. “You have to earn your spot to be moved into the ladder to be put into that helicopter. They don’t just give it to you. You earn it,” O’Hara said just two days after the death of his son Ryan, crew chief of the Blackhawk that collided with American Eagle Flight 5342.

“And you know, all of those soldiers that protect us, they earn their stripes every single day,” adding that the scene of the recovery was “very touching,” seeing “the other soldiers saluting as they take him out with a draped flag over it, but to sit there and think that that’s my little boy – it’s crushing.”

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 200 points immediately after White House Press Secretary Karoline “Blondi” Leavitt confirmed to reporters that starting Saturday the Trump Regime will indeed be imposing a 25 percent tariff on all important from Mexico and Canada as well as a 10 percent tariff on everything coming from China, CNBC reports on something something Soros.

You heard it ladies and gents, Saturday is tariff day! Mexico and Canada is 25 percent tariffs, China is only 10 percent because Trump is so tough on the commies! MAGA! Winning!

“When you’re flying with your loved ones, do you pray that your airplane lands safely and gets you to your destination or do you pray that the pilot has a certain skin color? I think we all know the answer,” Leavitt also told reporters in response to a question about the new DEI shitshow.

“Pursuant to its authority under 5 USC § 1103(a)(1) and (a)(5), the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is providing the following initial guidance to agencies regarding the President’s Executive Order entitled Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government (Defending Women). Steps to End Federal Funding of Gender Ideology: In light of Defending Women, each agency should take prompt actions to end all agency programs that use taxpayer money to promote or reflect gender ideology as defined in Section 2(f) of Defending Women. Specifically, agency heads should take the following steps: 1. No later than 5:00 pm EST on Friday, January 31, 2025 [blah blah blah] Review agency email systems such as Outlook and turn off features that prompt users for their pronouns,” says a memo from the Office of Personnel Management. Only a few hours left until the pronounpocalypse.

When does Trump issue the executive order capping credit card rates at 10 percent?

Deutsche Bank CEO Christian Sewing on Thursday told reporters that programs designed to promote diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace are an “integral” part of the Russian money laundering operation’s strategy going forward and they don’t plan on caving to right wing activists constantly freaking the fuck out over it like so many other companies have, Bloomberg reports.

“We are now firmly behind this program,” Sewing said in Frankfurt, adding he and his team “can see how Deutsche Bank has benefited from it. I know what diversity has brought us on the management board at the top reporting level. That’s why we are strong supporters of these programs.”

It’s not clear if convicted felon President Trump will boycott Deutsche Bank now or just stop making payments on his loans to protest Sewing’s enthusiastic embrace of woke DEI madness.

Cops in the Brittany region of Western France on Friday said they were investigating an act of vandalism on the tomb of Jean-Marie Le Pen, founder of the far-right National Front, just weeks after he died at the age of 96, the AP reports. The specifics of the vandalism were not made public.

Rodent-faced disarray-monger Chuck Todd has officially left NBC, Axios reports on the end of everything being devastating for Democrats. Can’t wait to not listen to his podcast.

“Transport Workers United Local 100 Interim President John V Chiarello announced today that TWU Local 100 would match the reward offered by NYPD Crime Stoppers for information leading to the apprehension of the six unidentified men who took a R Train on a joyride last weekend. The Union will pay up to $3,500 for the information, matching the Crime Stoppers reward. Images of the six men on platforms and entering the transit system were released today by Crime Stoppers.”

“The NYPD announcement noted that the six individuals ’caused damage to glass panels on the train,’ but this was the least of it, Mr Chiarello said. ‘A bunch of reckless teens took a $20 million piece of equipment out of a secure transit layup area, endangering themselves, transit property, and transit workers who may well have been working on the tracks,'” says a statement from TWU Local 100 chief John Chiarello on the hunt for the mischievous punks who broke into and stole not one but two R trains that had been parked overnight on tracks usually reserved for the N express train along 4th Ave in Brooklyn. Not for nothing but it seems like the $3,500 is the price TWU is willing to pay to avenge being made to look foolish and incompetent enough to allow a $20 million piece of equipment to be stolen by teenagers. Don’t these things have key ignitions in the operator cab?

Per the New York Daily News, the suspects posted video of the joyride on Instagram in which they can be seen passing at least one station and another train in service, with one saying “Check [the] radio now,” to see if they’d been noticed by the other train’s TWU member crew. They weren’t.

“Still photos released by police show at least one suspect jumping a turnstile” as they made their way to the parked trains, the News writes as if they expected the kids to use their MetroCards.
