New thread because I didn’t know where to put this
I wonder if it’s too late to see if I can telecommute from Nuuk.

Sadly, I’m not terribly surprised by this.
Texas kids protected from the indecency of a bare boob.
There’s something about the Homeland Security secretary being the crime victim here.
But, my double-take was $3,000 in cash. I keep some ones and fives in my wallet and use them a few times a year.
What do high gov’t officials do with all that cash in DC?
Also, I remember her wearing a Rolex for her prison photo op. I wonder what the bag cost.
They understand that Visa and MC and AmEx are part of the underworld cabal.
Shit! I said too much!!

So the odds are good, but the goods are odd?
I think that is temporary. Trump gets thousands of political appointments. I expect they will find each other.
Of course there’s the possibility that Trump appointees are also undesirable to other Trump appointees.
I’m sure that a few are made for each other, but others…
Also, I assume that the pool of Trump appointees is significantly biased towards being comprised of straight cis males.
ETA and the cis women among the hires are likely very attractive (physically, in a conventional view). and they might already be paired up.
But do they grab each other by the?
Legal Eagle points out an oopsie made by attorneys representing the DOT in the NY congestion pricing suit inadvertently highlights the challenges they have in defending administration arguments.
On a related note, I learned a cool German word: Fremdschämen.
The lawyers who did that have been removed from the case. Not sure if the party foul was telling their bosses that the case sucked or because they filed it publicly.
As an internal memo it is objective and helpful legal advice - “hey, it’s highly likely you’ll lose this case if it proceeds, which will just delay any subsequent attempts to cancel the program; here’s an alternative approach that might have more chance of success (but still has challenges), and could be achieved in a shorter timeframe”.
There’s nothing untoward about the memo itself; the problem is making it public. It probably doesn’t even impact the case - everyone will ignore the erroneous disclosure, and the DOJ/DOT will lose because their argument sucks (as the memo indicated). But it raises questions about the competence of the current defense team, and so it makes sense to replace them.
I feel for the DOJ lawyers, even if I don’t like their client. This could happen with any professional communication - the wrong recipient, an incorrect attachment, etc. It should be a lesson to all of us to be diligent in our work; one careless moment, one unreviewed attachment, and …

It’s not going to go anywhere, but maybe it’s time to start a pool on just how many Articles of Impeachment will be filed against Dear Leader through his political career.
This could go in a few different threads, but it’s semi-random, so…
This tweet, linked in the article, and Grok’s contributions to subsequent replies amuse me:
With Afrikaners being welcomed to the US as refugees (despite the rather unwelcoming stance Dear Leader and his minions have taken towards non fair-skinned refugees), one organization has opted to end its contract with the federal government to assist the resettlement of refugees.
