Fighting in the War Room!

 Fox News may not be the best source of government talent.  According to the New York Times, "chaos" is a polite term for the Hegseth Defense Department, where four members of his inner circle have already been pushed out, accused of leaking and other crimes by the Loyalty Squad.  Officials describe "screaming matches," distrust of employees that amounts to clinical paranoia, and "bureaucratic logjams" slowing down The Leader's agenda -- which we must hope includes his invasion plans for Greenland and Canada.  Sometimes chaos is better than competence, and credit for it has to go to the DOGE incels, though that tired old nemesis the Deep State is being cited.

"If you harass a Congresswoman in public while wearing daisy dukes, maybe you're the problem" is a sentence I never thought I'd have to parse, but we live in peculiar times.  A spokesperson offered it as an excuse for the increasingly bizarre behavior of Nancy Mace, for whom a term in the House is basically free therapy.  "As someone who's experienced trauma in her life," she explained to Sean Hannity, she felt threatened when Ely Murray-Quick encountered her in a store and asked if she planned to hold a town hall. "Fuck you," she replied, filming his assault and posting it to social media.  A confession:  I never watched The Dukes of Hazard but I assume "daisy dukes" refers to abbreviated shorts:

Mr. Murray-Quick does not appear to be threatening, but Mace is terrified of sharing a bathroom with the equally unthreatening Sarah McBride so who knows what goes on in her head?   He's lucky she didn't mace him, no pun intended.  I'm also no fashion expert but maybe a little less cleavage accentuated with a locket?  Not telling her how to dress while shopping for skin care products, just wondering,..

The House is full of people getting yelled at by constituents when they do meet the public, but most of them accept it as part of the job in a time of economic and Constitutional hysteria created entirely by The Leader and his cult.  Only a few mutter about the participants being terrorists in the pay of George Soros or thrill to the sight of security guards tasing them.  Only Mace thinks every man she passes, even gay men like Ely Murray-Quick, wants to rape her.  

Diversity, equity and inclusion, Southern-style:  Confederate Heritage Month in Mississippi almost slipped by unnoticed because there was no official announcement, only a note on the Facebook page of the Rankin Greys, a Sons of Confederate Veterans outfit, on April 18.  Governor Tate Reeves was a lot more obvious in 2013, where one speaker compared "Yankees" to "Nazis."  It's not as much fun without Obama in the White House, is it, Tater?

Today's scandal:  photogate!  Inside Fort McCoy, the Wisconsin army base, there's a Chain of Command wall because knowing who's in charge is very important in the military.  But someone -- well, see for yourself:

Somebody got a ladder and turned Hegseth and The Leader to the wall.  And now the garrison commander, who just happens to be a woman (Colonel Sheyla Baez-Ramirez), has been suspended.  Probably she was going to be cashiered anyway, but this was a good excuse.  I'm glad DOGE left the DOD Rapid Response Team in place for emergencies like this.

"Donald Trump has created an American version of the Dolchstosslegende [stab-in-the-back lie], propagating a myth that the nation is being led to ruination by Joe Biden and the Democrats, prosecutors who go after Trump, judges who rule against him, non-MAGA news media, practitioners of 'wokeism,' and elite universities, among others."  What lefty antisemitic newspaper wrote this?  The Forward, which has been published since 1897, originally in Yiddish.  It also compared Trump's second inaugural to Hitler's first speech as chancellor in 1933.  Yes, Germany didn't lose the First World War and Trump didn't lose the 2020 election.  It's Earth Day, a good time to recycle lies.

However you spent Easter, it must have been less confusing and upsetting than what these kids went through:

The creepy old man who watched from his balcony as they searched for eggs presented them with pictures of himself barely surviving an assassination attempt that left him totally unscarred, signed with his Rhesus-monkey-EEG signature.  Hey, mom, can we stay home and watch gladiator movies next year?
