Okay, so maybe what a democratic congress should do is pass legislation stripping Kennedys name from the Kennedy Center and partner with a new venue naming a new Kennedy Center. That way, trumps name stays on whatever pile of rubble is left when he loses interest in the project.

Hmmm... just a few days ago Kyle Rittenhouse was trying to drum up clicks by saying he might go to Minneapolis with his gun and, I don't know, shoot more people. Now that a white guy with a gun permit has been killed by Ice, I don't hear Kyle acting so tough.

No surprise: all his claims of America needing Greenland for national security reasons were bunk. He wants it as a consolation prize for not getting a Nobel. In other words, if he got his participation award, he wouldn't care about about America's security.

Wait, what?!? FOX: If you cut it (drug costs) by 600%, the drug companies are actually paying you. LUTNICK: What he's saying is if a drug was $100 and you bring it down to $13, it's down 7 times. F: Not a 600% cut. L: But it's 700% higher price before. It's down 700% now.

It must suck for a performer to know that they only got a Kennedy Center honor this time because you were once big in the 1980s, and trump thinks of the '80s as the peak trump era. They are talented. But they must realized they're only being honored to remind trump of his glory days.

So trump directs the Commerce Department to stage a new census "based on modern day facts and figures and, importantly, using the results and information gained from the Presidential Election of 2024?" Well shit, trump's flunkeys are gonna let him make up his own numbers!

“Highly Overrated Bruce Springsteen goes to a Foreign Country to speak badly about the President of the United States,” Trump tweets before he calls Biden, a President of the United States, “a mentally incompetent FOOL, and our WORST EVER President....” Trump was in a foreign country at the time.

Say What? "The Constitution is clear -- and that of course is the supreme law of the land -- that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So it's an option that we're actively looking at." -- Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller

"To preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States." -- Trump, taking his oath of office "Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?" -- Meet the Press's Kristen Welker "I don't know." -- Trump

So El Prez wants to reopen Alcatraz? Dude doesn't remember (and he's old enough to have been around) that is was closed because it cost something like 3 time more than any other federal pen to run. Has an idea sitting on the toilet, it becomes holy writ.

"As soon as I take office, I will move quickly to increase pressure on Moscow. Under my administration, there will be no pleadings for meetings with Vladimir Putin. He will be treated for what he is -- a gangster and a thug." -- Marco Rubio, 2015

NY Times: Trump’s budget plan takes an ax to ‘radical’ programs that support child care, older adults and housing assistance. So radical! If Jesus came back today, he's be arrested and sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

I get home, turn on the boob tube, and catch the beginning of The April Fools with Jack Lemmon. Wow, I think: peak 1960s! Clothes, makeup, art, camerawork! Too bad I'm pooped and ready to hit the hay. Should have weird dreams tho.

The Clown Car administration ACCIDENTALLY sent their letter of demands to Harvard too early, sez the NY Times. After the blowup, the clowns are mad at Harvard for not calling them and going on a "victimhood campaign." Looks who's complaining about victimhood campaigns. Mr. Pot, meet Mr. Kettle.

"You want to build a five billion dollar data center?...You don't call Elon Musk, you call us!...All of us! Including our SMART apprentice Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who we demand to be returned to us and his family now!" -- Sean McGarvey, president of North America's Building Trades Union

If I was running for president, I'd promise to hold the law firms that capitulate to trump to their deals, only as the new executive, I'd redirect those pro bono activities to things like environmental causes, human rights, and etc. If blackmail is an official act, changing the purposes can be too.

“We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before.” --trump at a cabinet meeting

“When you ran out the healthy arms, you ran out of really healthy, they had great arms, but they ran out, it’s called sports, it’s called baseball in particular, and pitchers I guess you could say in really particular.” --trump to Los Angeles Dodgers
