    Trump will attend the Superbowl. To accommodate him, the NFL removed “End Racism” from the end zones.

    The NFL will remove the words “End Racism” from the end zones at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl on Sunday, the NFL confirmed to NBC News. … Sunday’s game will be the first Super Bowl since February 2021 at which “End Racism” will not be in an end zone stencil.

    I’m sure the players will understand that a TV viewer boycott of the game is not directed against them, it’s directed at the spineless NFL poobahs and the advertisers who go along with this. I will not be watching Sunday, I’ll find something else to do.

    2)This may be first time I don’t watch it. Nobody who would boo him can afford tickets,

    The first big initiative of my AMERICA FIRST!!! administration was to launch new wars in Africa.

    The second is to pour BILLIONS into real estate investments in Gaza.

  6. 6

    The third major initiative of my AMERICA FIRST!!! administration has been to launch a massive program to release and reintegrate hundreds of thousands of detained immigrants back into your American communities because I don’t have the facilities or infrastructure to remove most of them. As a direct consequence of the time and expense invested in this REVOLUTIONARY new program of internal catch-and-release by the end of my first 100 days as your AMERICA FIRST!!! President I will have succeeded in deporting 25% fewer brown people than Sleepy Joe and Kamel Toe.

    Trump quickly backed down on tariffs, and now appears to be backing down on firing FBI agents who worked on Jan. 6 cases.

    Let me be clear: No FBI employee who simply followed orders and carried out their duties in an ethical manner with respect to January 6 investigations is at risk of termination or other penalties,” the email reads.

    “The only individuals who should be concerned about the process initiated by my January 31, 2025 memo are those who acted with corrupt or partisan intent, who blatantly defied orders from Department leadership, or who exercised discretion in weaponizing the FBI,” Bove added.

    That narrows the field to essentially zero agents. It appears Trump’s underlings tasked with carrying out his orders may possess enough sense of self-preservation to fear economic reality (tariffs) and the rule of law (arbitrary firings) at least to some extent.

    Hard to tell if this will be a pattern, but if so, it’s a welcome one (compared to the alternative). Shutting down USAID appears to be the real deal, but so far Canada and Mexico tariffs, and now mass firings of FBI agents, look like paper tigers. It’s not news that Trump’s bluster more often than not lacks substance and follow-through; e.g., for all his “lock her up” rhetoric, he never attempted to prosecute Hillary Clinton even though he had four years to do so. Put another way, he’s shooting blanks in many cases. I’m about ready to label Trump v.2.0 as the “All Hat No Cattle administration”. Although “Shooting Blanks administration” also would work.

    That’s a pretty significant development as President Musk and Vice President Trump go about inflicting chaos and lawlessness on the federal government.

    Hegseth’s doing.

    United States Military Academy ordered to disband all clubs and organizations within the student and faculty.

    Oh Wait. Not All. Just the ones that involve non-whites some of which have existed for over 50 years, like “Society of Black Engineers”

    Asian Pacific Forum Club
    Contemporary Cultural Affairs Seminar Club
    Corbin Forum
    Japanese Forum Club
    Korean-American Relations Seminar
    Latin Cultural Club
    National Society of Black Engineers Club
    Native American Heritage Forum
    Society for Hispanic Professional Engineers
    Society of Women Engineers Club
    Spectrum
    Vietnamese-American Cadet Association

    Clubs serving Christians are of course still allowed to practice exclusionary gatherings.

    More Hegseth.

    The Navy has been ordered to halt all Sexual Assault Prevention and Response training.

    OF COURSE he sexually assaulted all those women.

    AS YOUR AMERICA FIRST!!! PRESIDENT IT IS MY SAD DUTY TO SHARE WITH YOU, MY LOYAL SUBJECTS, THAT A FEW OF THE SPENDING PROGRAMS YOUR FAMILY MAY RELY UPON MAY NOT BE SPARED FROM THE CRUCIAL AND VITAL COST CUTS THAT MUST BE IMPLEMENTED TO AVOID ADDING TO THE TERRIBLE AND WASTEFUL JOE BIDEN DEFICIT.

    NOW THAT I HAVE BROKEN THE WILL OF WEAKLING NATIONS LIKE CANADA, MEXICO, AND EL SALVADOR I HAVE AGREED TO SET ASIDE TARIFFS. AS SUCH WE CAN NO LONGER COUNT ON THE TIDAL WAVE OF FOREIGN FUNDS POURING INTO THE TREASURY TO FUND CRUCIAL INVESTMENTS IN THE REBUILDING OF A BEAUTIFUL, INCREDIBLE GAZA, WHICH ABSOLUTELY MUST HAPPEN IN ORDER TO BRING LASTING PEACE TO ISRAEL AND THE MIDDLE EAST.

    TO MAKE GAZA SUITABLE FOR INCREDIBLE INVESTMENTS TO BUILD FABULOUS COMMUNITIES, BUSINESSES, GOLF RESORTS, AND JEWISH AMERICAN HERITAGE PARKS GAZA WILL NEED NEW ROADS, NEW WATER SYSTEMS, NEW ELECTRICAL PLANTS, NEW HOSPITALS, NEW PORTS, AND NEW AIRPORTS. AND ONLY YOUR AMERICA FIRST!!! PRESIDENT CAN DELIVER IT ALL.

    BUT NOT WITHOUT YOUR SMALL SACRIFICE OF YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY, YOUR MEDICARE, AND YOUR OBUMMERCARE HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE.

    BE STRONG MY LOYAL SUBJECTS AND DO NOT LOSE HEART. YOU PROBABLY CAN DO JUST FINE FOR MANY HAPPY YEARS TO COME EVEN WITHOUT THAT HIP REPLACEMENT OR CARDIAC STENT. JUST TRY NOT TO EXERT YOURSELF TOO MUCH AND AVOID MOVING AROUND.

    MAGA!

    MAGA voters: “So Watchya doin?”

    Elon Musk: “Eliminating USAID”

    MAGA voters: “Awesome! NO MORE FOREIGN AID! We can’t even feed our OWN people!”

    Elon: “About that. Subsidized school lunch just went bye bye. It’s unconstitutional.”

    MAGA voters: “Great. Fuck them freeloading kids! The only thing a school should do is TEACH.”

    Elon: “Yeah, about that. We’re doing away with the entire department and with that Federal Funds for schools.

    MAGA Voters: “Uh. OK. Seems like some of my taxes should pay for my kids’ school but you must know best. When they eliminate busing I can just drive them.”

    Elon: “About that we’re gutting the NTSB too. Roads and bridges should be the states’ problem.”

    MAGA Voters: “Hang on, we’re not California. We get almost all our roads fixed by Federal Money. I guess I’ll buy a heftier SUV to deal with Potholes.”

    Elon: “About that…we’re getting rid of the tax write off for work vehicles so SOME of you are going to pay more.”

    MAGA Voters: “Wait, how am I going to get to my VA Appointments or to the bank to get my Social Security money out.”

    Elon: “About that, did you hear we’re doing amazing things at the Department of Defense and Treasury?”

    MAGA Voters: “I’m still getting my VA care right?

    “I’m still getting social Security checks?”

    “Is the food supply safe, been hearing something on the left wing media about FDA cuts.”

    Elon:: Grinning, “About that…”

    @13 What else can they do when they’re going to need a trillion dollars to pay off a million wrongfully terminated federal employees.

  18. 18

    @16

    Yes, this is all over the TikTok from current Federal employees.

    “You are no longer allowed to contact HR as of now.

    You are NOT to access your official email or use a work computer as of now.

    You WILL be given a severance package which Congress has not agreed to fund.

    You WILL NOT be able to talk to HR and get this as a written contract and we can’t make any claims on how long your current health coverage will be in force when you resign.

    We promise you will get the funds as soon as you tender your resignation.”

    Trust me Bro
