I don't get what's happening. The world is at a critical point, desperate for the Strait of Hormuz to be opened....and the news feeds aren't mentioning the supposed deal that was supposedly imminent. Instead they are reporting on the 250 years concert FFS.

Ahh. As @RedTagAlan says.

The type who likes the lifestyle services, and the supply of well-educated staff, and rule of law which protects them and their property, and the government incentives for business growth, and the proximity of similar business which are there for the same reasons, and the proximity to a government with international clout to act as their bullies against countries with which they import/export...

Right up till the moment their gain from all these factors makes them so rich they feel they can fly solo. Then they move somewhere with lower taxation where they believe their money can buy them a private security force and an even bigger seat at a smaller government.

Usually whilst retaining rights to return to the motherland if it all goes tits up.

I never said all that. But I wish I had. Very well put. You explain it better than I can.

It seems Trump has more important things. His fight thing, his concert, the Kennedy center....

It was the "Ahh. One of them." I knew exactly the type you were talking about!

Such clichéd little Lords of the Universe, aren't they?

It was. I wondered when I'd heard that from him before; thanks.

Maybe the same bunch of violent morons will show up and have another riot, this time accidentally trampling the fart underfoot..... Well. I can hope, can't I?

Monday's cartoon in The Mercury Newspaper: Are you lonesome tonight?

MAGA = Make Aliens Great Again?

We all remember that Elvis dead on the crapper. It would be a cosmic comment on Trumps era if that were to be his closing fact.

Especially if it were to go viral as an idea ...

Shame Trump didn't die at the age Elvis was when he did, eh?

About that $250 bill with Trump’s noggin on it..

If we're talking Elvis circa 73-77, then literally true, if not figuratively.

Fascinating (if true).

A lot of pro Trump signs in farming states are disappearing. Not because farmers have changed their minds, but because the repossessing banks find it easier to sell property with no signage

I wonder if this is where some of the Brexit signs in fields went ?

This will get him fuming even more

The Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music at Monmouth University announced a major two-night concert event as part of the national celebration of America’s 250th birthday. Music America: The Songs that Shaped Us will also serve as a cornerstone of the center’s grand opening June 7.

Good.

I am now thinking about the possibility of a fatal seizure brought on by a massive tantrum.

What 250th celebration concert ?

Deleted video as it was unfortunately AL.

That is very satisfactory.

Right. Now you have done it.

I was listening to the Proclaimers, but I just put my best of Elvis album on.

Passes the time as we await the "final determination"

Ach, classic Boss is better. The Wild the Innocent and the E street shuffle.

I hope he makes his "final determination" before I exhaust my music collection and have to listen to "The Birdie Song".

:-)

No need to cancel, Scrotus!!! I'm sure you can always get Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Vanilla Ice to perform!🤮

I was wondering, and this is your area of expertise. If the Fed funded party is cancelled and Trump coverts it into a fed funded political rally, what laws will he be breaking ? If any. You already said Hatch does not apply to POTUS or VP.

I see he is getting around to law making by the way. Doing bills and all that. And for that he has decided he wants a bill to repeal the bill that says no living people on bank notes.

Kegsbreath doing some exercise:

Brian Krassenstein on X: "This is our Secretary of a War, Pete Hegseth. No wonder why we appear to suck at war. https://t.co/qHEoptcnpK" / X

Is my CNN broken?

This is my world front page attached.

Where is the "final determination" ?

No sign of any final determination - he's too busy whining about many, many other things. Probably waiting for the markets to open tomorrow.

He won't be breaking any 'laws' per se and Hatch would not apply. But the 'usual conditions' for using federal property would. These are the routine things that anyone, high or low, has to pay for to use federal property whether you're renting a picnic kiosk in a national park or renting the National Zoo.

He'd have to get the proper permits, and federal 'resources' cannot be used (ie sound systems, bleachers, stages, and federal employees (who would be forbidden by Hatch to take part). Federal funds cannot be used, either, so he'd have to pay out of his own pocket for security (other than his own Secret Service detail), and any labor needed for the event.
