Good morning you lovelies. Did you watch Trump’s joint address? I sure as shit did not. I had better things to do, like walk part of the way to Drinking Liberally in uncomfortable shoes. Probably not my best idea ever, but it beats the alternative. Anyway, if you watched, congratulations on being more willing to be lied to by a jackass than me.

    Sen. Rand Paul, a strong advocate for shrinking government, made the case that Musk’s cuts – in order to be protected from the courts – should be moving through Congress in the form of what are known as rescissions packages.

    A rescissions package claws back funding that was appropriated by Congress and only requires a simple majority vote in the GOP-led Senate and a majority vote in the GOP-led House.

    The challenge for Republicans, however, is that voting to do so would mean that they will be on the record for voting for cuts that could be unpopular with some in the American public and even with some of their own constituents.

    It’s a weird lesson in free market economics the GOP is learning.

    Donnie thought the Kennedy Center was a fully government operated entity.

    But he just learned that like any other theatre in the United States they pay artists and touring Broadway companies to perform within the theater and turn a profit on ticket sales just like the Orpheum in any red state city does. It’s a contract deal.

    And if ‘Hamilton’ and ‘Avenue Q’ and ‘Wicked’ sellout hit shows say NAH, then they have to see if they can sell tickets to Jeff Dunham or Kid Rock to stay afloat.

    Trump administration rethinking Guantánamo immigrant detention plan amid cost issues and power struggles

    Trump’s plan to use the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to detain 30,000 immigrants has been hitting major legal, logistical and financial hurdles ever since he surprised many in his own administration by announcing it.

    Now, as agencies spar over responsibility for operations there and over blame for what has gone wrong, there is a growing recognition within the administration that it was a political decision that is just not working.

    As Trump keeps losing in the courts, backing down on tariffs, and rehiring people Elon hastily fired, a couple things are becoming clear:

    1. This administration is knee-jerking every major decision.
    2. Trying to base policy on colossal lies really doesn’t work.
    3. Lying about the math doesn’t work either, because math doesn’t lie. For example, claiming $8 billion of savings by canceling an $8 million contract only saves $8 million.

  37. 37

    Here’s another GOP math fail: If you fire every single person on the federal payroll, including the president and vice president, the White House staff, members of Congress and their staff, the Supreme Court justices and all the federal judges, and everybody else drawing a federal paycheck, you’d save about $350 billion a year. Multiply that by 10 years and you get $3.5 trillion. Merely extending Trump’s tax cuts, without add-ons, costs $4.4 trillion. So how do you balance the budget (as some GOP House members are demanding) by firing federal workers? The math says you can’t.

  38. 38

    80% of federal civilian workers do NOT work in D.C.; California has the most, followed by: Texas, Florida, and Georgia. Most either work for the V.A., Homeland Security, or Defense Department; USAID and Department of Education together employ fewer than 9,000. You can’t get to there from here, but it makes great MAGA talking points, amirite?

    This is an administration based on lies, fuzzy math, and knee jerk diktats. It won’t turn out well for the people who voted for it.

    Trump to revoke legal status for 240,000 Ukrainians as US steps up deportations

    WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration is planning to revoke temporary legal status for some 240,000 Ukrainians who fled the conflict with Russia, putting them on a fast-track to deportation.
    The move, expected as soon as April, would be a stunning reversal of the welcome Ukrainians received under President Joe Biden’s administration.

    Tesla sales in Germany fell 75% in Febuary.

    As a very tiny car company Tesla doesn’t have to sell tens of thousands of cars each month in a place like Germany the way companies like Toyota would. But they do need to sell a few thousand, or else find some other market where they can sell cars.

    But that’s a problem because there just are not that many places where you can sell cars that start at $45k for a stripped down, range limited, econobox in really large quantities. And that’s because of a host of factors. First are incomes and population. You need a big country with a large, well established middle class. You also need infrastructure to support the plug-in vehicles. Germany as the largest and one of the most affluent European nations was an important market for Tesla. It can’t be substituted in someplace like Spain, or Brazil. And because the infrastructure is absent you won’t sell any Teslas in developing nations, regardless of population or income.

    Tesla just lost 4,500 sales each month in just one nation alone. And those numbers are repeating in many of the other nations that are actually capable of supporting Tesla sales at all. It makes sense then that the meme stock TSLA is streaking towards oblivion like a meteor. It will soon have fallen back to where it was trading six months ago. But these sales numbers will not get better. Fat Hitler’s voters will not be able to pick up the slack. Nor will they be willing to do so for cars that are cramped, have limited range, are lacking in luxury refinements, and have the highest depreciation. They may be stupid. But that hardly matters in this case.

    Scoop: Dems privately confront Trump speech disruptors

    In meetings and discussions with leadership this week, Democrats who heckled, walked out in protest or were otherwise disruptive were given a talking to about their tactics, sources said.

    What we’re hearing: Leadership is “very unhappy” with those who went beyond traditional protest tactics like outfit coordination and refusal to clap, a senior House Democrat told Axios.

    Roughly a dozen Democratic disruptors — including Reps. Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.), Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) and Maxine Dexter (D-Ore.) — were called into a “come to Jesus meeting” on Thursday morning, the senior Dem told Axios.
    The top three House Democratic leaders were present: Jeffries, Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) and Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-Calif.).

    Showin’ up the black guy who supposedly is in charge:

    Fact: the program applies specifically to economically disadvantaged households meeting income requirements.

    Fact: the program does not involve any taxpayer funds or extending Treasury financing. The Treasury backs private bank loans with requirements for servicing and reporting.

    It’s a Republican program for low income households and communities and it isn’t a government loan.
