I don't see a Scams forum so True Crime it is.

I'm a subscriber to The Week with my credit card on file for automatic renewal. They charged me $249 for fifty-two weekly issues. I called them and said your website quotes $99 for fifty-two weeks. Oh that's for new subscribers. Your renewal rate is $149. Would you like us to refund $100? I said yes I would, and what was the extra hundred dollars for? Oh that's something we just do in case you aren't paying attention. Can you believe the frankness in regard to such open theft? I appreciate knowing, but not having to ask to find out.

Takin' It To the Streets (Live)

I was thinking that Takin' It To the Streets might be the right anthem to oppose DOGE.

But the acronym TITS didn't sound serious enough.

Dear White House Press Corps...

Do not travel with Trump or Musk.

I realize that it is prestigious to be invited along when they go places, but think of your own safety first.

Same advice to Fox News, Newsmax and OAN. Despite the affection you feel for your heroes and your delight in covering them, you should make your own travel arrangements.

He's a peculiarly jolly geek who wants to check me for a hernia.

Not "may I check you?"

No. He's unbuckled my belt, taken everything down, and is now feeling around for dysfunction.

They need a much bigger majority to do what they're doing.

Here's an analysis from the Council on Foreign Relations which debunks any claim of mandate.

If I come home to find a vandal tearing down my house

what am I justified in doing?

He declared in advance that he was going to come tear down my house.

I thought I would be geared up to stop him, but he was a little vague about the date.

And, to be honest, I wasn’t sure what I would be allowed to do.

The police say it's a private matter and they cannot become involved.

What am I justified in doing to stop this? It is happening RIGHT NOW.

Are the people installed in acting capacities more normal?

While we are busy trying to expose Trump's nominees as kooks and crackpots, there are already people he has installed in acting capacities who are doing these jobs.

What is known about these "interim" appointees? Are they kooks and crackpots too?

Is there a civilian federal employee called Food Taster?

And is that job under the Secret Service?

The TikTok ban seems so obviously a bill of attainder

that I'm surprised it wasn't argued as unconstitutional on that basis.

Were they so confident in their first amendment argument that they carelessly neglected to bolster it?
