  1. Goldy: “I’m gonna turn my little FEMA exposé into a blog!”

    Nick Shirley: “Hold my beer.”

    His YouTube video is at 2.2M viewers and counting. 10% of those are repeat visits by the Civic Skunk Works founders trying to figure out how Shirley did it.

    The YouTuber says he is uncovering new fraud in Minnesota, but media outlets like KSTP reported more than a year ago about more than 62 investigations into Minnesota child care centers. MPR News has reported about fraud at child care centers for more than a decade and has followed the Feeding Our Future case from the beginning. Can you talk about just some of the elements at play here?

    It is predicated on what I would call a kernel of truth in many cases, but has also engaged in a fair amount of fearmongering, the use of really explosive terminology, references to violence, and the suggestion, essentially that the world’s going to hell in a handbasket, and only President Trump and his supporters can defend us from this onslaught. It’s a lot of rhetoric with relatively little substance behind it.

    i.e. kreepfuck bait.

  3. Stormy Daniels to do a gig at a Tacoma comedy club in March.

    The way CNN and MSNBC treated her attorney was certainly hilarious.

  4. @1

    You mean the new Qanon?

    I have in my hand the fiscal records. (Narrator: he did not in fact have records not yet made public)

    I’m at the daycare (narrator: he was, in fact at the back door of a restaurant)

    The number of the preschool goes to Governor Walz office! (Narrator: one can track google business edit requests and the dates)

  5. This is what Trump and his lackeys think of consumers and victims of financial fraud:

    The CFPB has largely been inoperable since President Trump has sworn into office nearly a year ago. Its employees are mostly forbidden from doing any work, and most of the bureau’s operations this year has been to unwind the work it did under President Biden and even under Trump’s first term. Vought himself has made comments where he has made it clear that his intention is to effectively shut down the CFPB.

    If you vote Republican, you must hate yourself, and hate your money even more.

  8. Donnie the Pimp.

    The Commies over at the Wall Street Journal have the scoop

    Mar-a-Lago’s spa for years regularly sent young staffers to Epstein’s home purportedly to give him massages,

    (but some daycare…)

  10. @7

    Unanimously passed in house and Senate so unless the grand old pedophiles want to display that they have zero backbone whatsoever this is Donnie, throwing a tantrum with zero effect

  11. Oh dear, dear, dear dear. Dumbfuck has thoughts about daycare centers meanwhile the audiotape.

    not releasing the Epstein files! Fuck Marjorie Taylor Greene! I don’t care what you do start a fucking war just don’t let them get out!”

  12. Israel is kicking out Doctors Without Borders as of tomorrow night. They’re just documenting far too many bits of genocide.

  14. @ 5

    Vought himself has made comments where he has made it clear that his intention is to effectively shut down the CFPB.

    So, like Biden did with CBP and the Border Patrol.

  15. @ 7

    … can’t have clean drinking water …

    Sure they can. It’s reported that both houses of Congress passed the bill unanimously.

    An override should be a no-brainer. Not unlike the majority of the HA spews of a certain failed former attorney..

  16. @ 9

    You’ve been contributing to Goldy’s audience numbers for years.

    I’m the thumb to everyone else’s four fingers.

    I suspect Darryl wastes more time putting together the Multimedia thread material than I do authoring spews.

  18. Yep. The is gonna end with some loon firing shots into a pizza joint a daycare.

    Good job dumbfuck. Keep posting.

    A burglar broke into a Somali-run day care in south Minneapolis this week, leaving a trail of damage and debris and, workers say, stealing sensitive employee and client documents.

    A cleaner discovered the wreckage at Nokomis Daycare Center Inc. around 6 a.m. on Dec. 30 before the facility opened, then quickly alerted management.

  19. More from WSJ

    The spa occasionally provided house calls for members. Epstein wasn’t a dues-paying member of the club, but Trump told staff to treat him like one, the employees said. Epstein had an account at the spa where his companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, booked appointments on his behalf.

    They came to a halt in 2003, after an 18-year-old beautician returned to the club from a house call to Epstein and reported to managers that he had pressured her for sex, former employees said.

    FOUR YEARS before Donnie swears to God and the soul is mother kicked Epstein out of the club, where Epstein had never been a due paying member.

    It’s going to take Mike Johnson 15 weeks to read this story.

  25. No stagflation, either.

    …initial jobless claims for the week ended Dec. 27 came in at 199,000, the Labor Department reported Wednesday. That’s down 16,000 from the previous week’s upwardly revised level of 215,000 and below the 220,000 that economists polled by Dow Jones had estimated.

    “The filings for first-time jobless benefits are volatile during the holidays and adverse winter weather in many years, but the lack or any material weakness in the jobs market is striking in that there is no sign the economy is anywhere near the shores of recession,” said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS.

    Biggest loser: YLB.

  26. President Donald Trump has moved to declare the National Links Trust in default on its 50-year lease with the National Park Service, a step that could allow his administration to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s public golf courses. Local officials said they will fight to preserve the courses’ affordability and public access.
    >> Can’t have the rabble golfing with the richest.

    … moved to declare the National Links Trust in default on its 50-year lease with the National Park Service, a step that could allow his administration to seize control of Washington, D.C.’s public golf courses.

    Or, you know, award a replacement lease to another (non-Trump) entity that will pay its fucking bills.

    Paying bills seemed important to one of you libbie twats when you claimed the Trump Kennedy Center wouldn’t be able to.
