Watching the rerun of Osama Bin Ladens origin story this quickly after the last installment certainly was not on my bingo card.

You think the next bin Laden is going to be Kurdish or Iranian?

You think the last bin Laden was Afghan?

Where'd this one come from? Nobody's mentioned Afghans or Afghanistan for 5 pages.

Read it again and see if you can work it out.

The administration‘s trying to outrun the cops by using the military.

Weird script but okay.

He’s saying that Bin Laden came from SA in spite of the actions in places other than SA “creating” him. So the next one does not have to be Iranian. It be a person from Qatar who loses someone because of an attack from Iran responding to the US even.

His point is when you fuck around there are many unintended consequences you don’t see for a long time and they are rarely a direct line.

Premise: “this new US supported proxy war is like the last US supported proxy war where people like Bin Laden came from all over the Islamic world to fight”
You: “so you’re saying that the fighters are going to be locals from the place where the conflict is?”
Me: “what are you, some kind of idiot?”
You: “yes”

Kristi Noem sacked, replaced by Markwayne Mullin as DHS Sec: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-taps-us-senator-mullin-replace-noem-dhs-chief-2026-03-05/

Not sure what changes to expect, they're both morons. Maybe Mullin will double down on all the stupid shit to prove he's more hardline.

Oh wow, the dog killer being removed seems like huge news to me.

She was one of the faces of his administration, he obviously took the last term's revolving door of appointments as something not to be repeated and he stuck to his guns for all the top officials, no matter how dumb, incompetent or corrupt they show to be, he stuck to his guns, up until now.

I guess this is a good sign, I think they are really seeing some very, very bad polls on a bunch of stuff and are trying to course correct, I don't think it will work but it's been the first real sign of weakness that he projected as far as his commitment to appointments go (I'm aware he sacked the signal gate moron but that's a minor guy compared to this ghoul who was on TV-s in every airport in USA).

I have a feeling Kash Patel might be next, he did all the really dirty shit he might go to jail for with stopping investigations and covering up the really problematic Epstein files and he's really been catching fire lately over the blatant corruption surrounding his girlfriend.

In conclusion, always nice to see a terrible person get fucked over by another terrible person, I hope she gets prosecuted by the next administration for all the blatantly corrupt shit she did with awarding her pals the PR campaigns for DHS, buying the jets, taking the plane from Coast guard etc.

I think it is optimistic to assume that this is about reducing corruption or looking good.

My guess is that there was something corrupt, idiotic or evil she wasn't willing to do for Trump. Historically it always has been about 100% personal loyalty to Trump over anything else. And never about being less corrupt.

Several of the world’s largest maritime insurers issued cancellation notices for war-risk insurance covering ships operating in the Persian Gulf and near the Strait of Hormuz.

in response, Trump is going to cobble together his own insurance. ROFL-copter. Trump is exposing tax payers to large risk.

You think the dog slayer has any qualms about doing something illegal or corrupt?

Polling regarding ICE is beyond under water. Can’t link images but Yougov just released a poll claiming 50% of polled individuals support outright abolishing ICE. That includes 23% of Republicans. That’s how badly she handled everything.

Mullin has been 100% sycophantic, nothing will change, they just think he'd be better than Noem at brushing off questioning.

it's a burden he is willing to shift to the US taxpayer. after all enough tax payers voted him in and enabled his brilliant negotiations by gunboat diplomacy. that's now going slightly overboard and belly up...

Tooth for tooth and eye for eye
It makes us all the same
Political war criminals
You elect and know their names

To police the world's insanity
When, at home, there's a mess
Incarcerating innocents
Is the one thing you do best

United States' hypocrisy
Got straight "A"s on the test
And your corporate corruption
Is, quite simply, the best

You'll go down like the Salem witches
Proven innocent
Then you'll grasp the ugly truth of
Just how your tax dollars have been spent

Somewhere in a cell, between heaven and hell
Will rise a vengeful wraith
These ghosts will lead the way
Until your dying day
Unstitch the seams in your American dreams

You'll never rest in peace
