Jesus.

Do I expect a scene like that from Jeanine?


Yep

On the bright side, maybe she goes on a bender and has Trump arrested thinking he's just some asshole on the street.

Industry groups are not happy about the imminent demise of Energy Star

The program has saved consumers billions of dollars since its inception.

It’s a voluntary program launched during a Republican administration, endorsed by manufacturers and well-recognized by U.S. consumers, who have saved an estimated $500 billion over the past 33 years guided by its familiar blue label.

But President Donald Trump’s administration has decided the Energy Star program has got to go.

CNN and The Washington Post first reported the plan to eliminate the program that certifies the most energy-efficient appliances and buildings with the Energy Star label. Knowledgeable sources have confirmed to Inside Climate News that Environmental Protection Agency staffers learned the details at an internal meeting earlier this week.

I keep forgetting the year isn't over yet.

At least 3.5 more years of this bullshit to go.

President Trump poised to accept "palace in the sky" as a gift from Qatar: Sources

abcnews.go.com

In what may be the most valuable gift ever extended to the United States from a foreign government, the Trump administration is preparing to accept a super luxury Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the royal family of Qatar -- a gift that is to be available for use by President Donald Trump as the new Air Force One until shortly before he leaves office, at which time ownership of the plane will be transferred to the Trump presidential library foundation, sources familiar with the proposed arrangement told ABC News.

Bought and paid for....

Here's the thing: it'll take about 2 to 3 years minimum for them to be able to upgrade that plane to AF1 standards. By that time, his presidency will be about over.

So, yeah. It's a bribe. Plain and simple.

NASSS isn't alone in changing its conference plans since Trump took office. CBC News has identified three North American-based organizations that recently relocated upcoming conferences — either partially or fully — from the U.S. to Canada. In a fourth case, organizers chose Canada, knowing many of its Canadian participants won't go to the U.S.

Travel to the U.S. from several countries has dropped recently, with Canada leading the pack: in March, the number of return trips among Canadians travelling to the U.S. plummeted by 13.5 per cent for air travel, and by a whopping 32 per cent for land travel.

The International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans is relocating its 2025 Canadian Employee Benefits Conference from San Diego to Canada. The exact dates and location have yet to be announced.

Work and Family Researchers Network (WFRN), an association for work-family scholars, announced in April it has relocated its 2026 biennial conference from Boston to Montreal. The conference typically attracts 400 to 500 participants from across the globe.

Soon my children, the "night of the long knives" will return.




Good fucking luck

"I have certainly heard back from many NASSS members who said, 'Thank you, thank you. I was afraid to go to the United States,'" said Travers.

Absolutely fucking embarrassing for this country.
