… and that mega-wealthy Mrs. Teasdale has a LOT of money and will pay the $1 billion so that Freedonia can join his Board of Peace.
(The media has been unfair to Trump. He never said he wanted a Board of Peace. He said he was bored of peace and wanted to give himself a lifetime appointment to do something about it.)
And vitamins.
Speaking of a widespread fraud, I just saw a video clip of Trump wearing shorts and driving a golfcart towards the camera.
Rumors are ICE Barbie’s days are numbered.
Time to send Kristi back to her ranch in South Dakota. Noem. Noem on the range.
Have you no regard for the dogs and goats?
Speaking of dogs. (Trigger warning: The video shows a puppy being kicked by an ICE agent. It reportedly suffered a broken rib. The puppy, that is.):
EDIT: OK, it’s not an ICE agent, but some other Gestapo-style armed thug. Details here:
Trump Fed Kicks Schnauzer Puppy In Memphis, Because That's What Happens Now
I thought for sure you were going to say that Kristi Noem demanded to know the name of the veterinary hospital—and engaged her emergency stoplight override system so that she could get there quickly and finish it off with her 12-gauge. And before she left, her agents took into custody two Chihuahuas (on suspected cartel associations), an Australian Cattle Dog, a French Bulldog, an Icelandic Sheepdog, a German Shepherd, a Portuguese Water Dog, and a Labrador Retriever. (There had been a warrant issued for that one because of tariff remarks by Labrador’s governor.)
Still confused about the difference between Iceland and Greenland, Trump promptly ordered the Icelandic Sheepdog be sent to a prison in El Salvador.
It was a raid like nobody had ever seen before.
AND
Back in those heady days of gad school when I got to teach intro stats in the summer session, this is this sort of thing I told my students to look out for, then gave them an assignment to find examples in newspapers and magazines*. They loved it.
Dalmatians and Alsatians are safe, because the people responsible for immigration policy have not yet figured out that those are references to places.
Pretty sure German shepherds are safe, because it’s not a shithole country. Why can’t we have more dogs like Norwegian ridgebacks?
I think the reason we cannot “have more dogs like Norwegian ridgebacks” is perhaps because the Norwegian ridgeback is a dragon not a dog. (But I may be stating the obvious here. I wasn’t aware they were even a thing until I looked them up on Google.)
I know that the US is particularly lax about keeping dangerous animals as pets, but dragons?!?
OK, pedant. Elkhound then.
The ridgeback is Rhodesian.Not clear whether that qualifies as a shithole country or whether we need to accept persecuted dog refugees from Zimbabwe.
Chihuahua’s, of course, are straight to CECOT.
Ark Encounter has them in its petting zoo.
Oh. Here was me expecting them to have escaped from captivity and formed a breeding population in Florida.
Although it is true that there has been significant layoffs at the Ark Encounter, I’m not aware of any evidence that former staff writers have formed a new colony in Florida.
I’ve always thought the YEC apologetics community to be somewhat incestuous (figuratively speaking – if also somewhat fratricidal) – but this (see bolded word above) would be startling. Seems somewhat movie-version-Moonraker – repopulating the world in their own image. Or maybe Nueva Germania is a better comparator.
Oddly enough, both share with Florida a tropical New World setting.
