Special weekend fun edition

 

This is the face that launched a thousand ships and one exclusion.  It comes from the set called J.D. Vance Babyface Edits and was found by CBP on the phone of a Norwegian named Mads Mikkelsen when he arrived at Newark Airport to visit friends.  Mr. Mikkelsen was forced to give a blood sample and fingerprints before being returned to Norway.  In 2018 and again in 2024 Trump complained that people from "nice" countries like Norway, Denmark and Switzerland were unwilling to leave their comfortable lives under socialism and immigrate to the United States.  According to Trump it's the "shithole countries" that send all their murderers and rapists here.  CBP claims that Mr. Mikkelsen was sent home for "drug use" because they also found a picture of him holding a pipe (no drugs or pipe, however).  You make the call.


Even in Norway they don't get much whiter than Marius Borg Hoiby, the eldest son of Princess Mette-Marit and stepson of Crown Prince Haakon, heir to the throne.  Yesterday Oslo police charged him with multiple counts of rape, sexual assault and bodily harm, citing accusers in "double digits."  Looks like the Duke of York is no longer Europe's most embarrassing royal.

It's time for another hilarious communique from The Leader.  Giddy with semi-success in war, he has proclaimed the US "The Hottest Country anywhere in the World" and he ain't talkin' about the weather!

You're welcome!  And it will keep on getting hotter because Eric Trump says he's ready to take over when Daddy is through.  His road to the White House "would be an easy one" because he's just like Daddy only with more gums.  What about Junior?  Probably he'll be pope by then.

Piss-drunk Pete Hegseth managed to announce the new name of the USNS Harvey Milk without screaming at anyone and with only a little slobber.  It's now the USNS (CPO) Oscar V. Peterson, after a posthumous Medal of Honor recipient.  I'm relieved -- I really thought it was going to be the Anita Bryant.

Texas is celebrating after SCOTUS upheld its law requiring porn websites to verify that users are over 18.  That's nothing, y'all -- in the UK there's a Tory peer named Gabby Bertin who thinks there should be a Minister of Pornography.  She looks like fun, in a buttoned-up-to-the-chin sort of way.

Senator Bernie Moreno (MAGA-OH) brightened everyone's day when he went on the Laura Ingraham Comedy Hour to recount an intelligence briefing on the Big Beautiful Boom-Boom Bombing of Iran's nuke facility.  Moreno swears a Democrat (unnamed) told him it would go down in "the anals [sic] of American history."  Stupid Dems, always making fun of you.

This is not fun but it needs to be noted.  Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their golden retriever Gilbert lay in state at the Capitol in St. Paul.  All three were victims of MAGA hero Vance Boelter.  Joe Biden paid tribute to them and Kamala Harris attended the funeral today.  Trump has yet to take any notice apart from disparaging Governor Walz.

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Malign influence and other features

 I had an odd dream early this morning.  Putin had come to Washington for a first look at his new province and Trump took him to the top of the Washington Monument.  It was a beautiful spring day, the windows were open, and as they looked over the mall a man dressed as Galileo emerged from the shadows and shoved them both off the observation deck to test his theory that the tiny Russian and the hulking American would impact the ground at the same time.  I awoke to the sound of rejoicing. Imagine my surprise when I heard that the boss has indeed been invited to Washington.  An international pariah since 2022, the dictator will meet his creature to carve up  Ukraine  and no doubt receive approval for his next "special operation," whether in Moldova, Poland or the Baltic republics.  It's just COMMON SENSE.  And NATO is too expensive for the US to keep up. While he's here Vlad can get a sit-down with his "girlfriend"  Tulsi Gabbard,  co...

 Kristi Noem is going to have a bad day today.  Even Republicans are complaining about her lack of interest in little details like hurricane relief for  North Carolina,  so intent is she on choosing the most flattering outfit for her next media appearance.  ProPublica tracked down some of the money that's been disappearing in the direction of DHS and found that $11 million had been directed to Naples, Florida, to rebuild a pier after a big-money donor got in touch with her.  Guess what?  She visited the city ten times while she was governor of South Dakota, possibly because Corey Lewandowski owns a home near the pier.  Small world.  (Pro tip:  If you're fleeing wintry South Dakota for a dirty weekend in Florida, don't use state credit cards.) Some colorful new names popped up in the files Congressional investigators received from the estate of  Jeffrey Epstein :  Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and Steve Bannon all shared his hospitalit...
