When the career employees at the DOT and FAA and NTSB swoop in and get a handle on this horrible accident in DC, doing their usual competent and difficult jobs without any whiff of politics, do you think the new Secretary of Transportation will notice?

Will he see how they basically saved his inexperienced ass from the get-go, and have second thoughts about firing all of them and replacing them with lackeys?

I highly doubt it, but I can at least hold out a neutrino's worth of hope.

So the first lady also launched her own meme coin. It is called $Melania.

She inadvertently gave herself a derogatory nickname, and I'm here for it.

I will be calling her "Smellania" for the next 4 years.

A lot of very talented people are about to be looking for a job. Even some untalented scrubs like myself.

Let's see here...our (again) President-elect paid a woman 6 figures to NOT say she had sex with him. A man who is a nominee to lead our DoD paid a woman to NOT say he sexually assaulted her. Our House Speaker says we should NOT look at the ethics report for our AG nominee, who has been accused of having sex with a teenager.

I could have sworn there was this "commandment" in the Bible about "thou shalt NOT bear false witness."

A quote from Trump on the Rogan podcast (when they were talking about UFOs):

"Area 51 or whatever is...I think it's the number one tourist attraction in the whole country or something."

Um...no...that's a highly classified military installation in Nevada. You may have heard about it from when you were the (sigh) Commander in Chief of the US Military?

It sure as hell ain't Disneyland.
