Welcome to my little Nerdery on the Net! :)

The Uhmerican House of Representin's "budget blueprint" tells you all you need know about how stupid they think the American people are. The truly sad thing is that their view of the electorate's stupidity is probably more optimistic than it ought to be which will allow them to get away with complete dereliction of their duty to protect America's most vulnerable citizens... :(

Last Friday, the American people and the world were witnesses to the most unabashedly savage political hit job ever seen in the Oval Office when President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine was ambushed by VP Vance and President Trump. In so doing, they proved themselves to be disgraceful and weak cowards who have sold every shred of honour of this country and are perfectly content to do Vladimir Putin's dirty work in destroying the most successful alliance this world has ever seen.

President Trump's hiring criteria for senior positions seems to boil down to one essential skill: how well can they stick their nose up the bum of the boss? You'd think the Senate who is supposed to use the "advise and consent" prerogatives in the Constitution would weed out the worst and most unqualified of them but you'd be utterly wrong. "Abdicate and cower", more like... :(

President Musk through the Office of Personnel Management pulled one of his old HR tricks out of the bag of stupid management practices when he sent a "justify your existence in five bullet points" EMAIL to the entire Federal civil service. Stupidity this blatant and contemptible really deserves only one possible answer...

Senator Tillis seemed to be taking the Senate's duty under Article II Section 2 of the Constitution very seriously when it came to the nomination of Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defence until...he didn't. This shouldn't be a surprise when there is a clear record of flip-flopping on defending the prerogatives of Congress versus the Executive Branch. Advice and consent doesn't mean blindly accepting every fool and sycophant offered in nomination. You can actually show a measure of courage and say *NO*...and you really need to start doing it much more often when dealing with nominees who are being put up for office by toddlers!

President Carter showed that even though he was only allowed one term in the nation's highest office, it's what he did with the next 44 years that truly made him the Obi-Wan amongst modern chief executives!

Just when you thought we'd gotten past the stupidity of the legacy of HB2, Reps Mace and Greene want to ban an incoming transgender colleague from using the women's washroom. But even though Congress exempts itself from many of the laws it passes, the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995 and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended) would suggest the Speaker's announced policy may well be illegal.
