Nope. No idea it was on. I was streaming NBC for the whole superbowl experience.

Mango Mussolini’s off his meds…

LOL, He's just completely unhinged.

Isn't the bridge a deal between Ontario and Michigan, being 100% funded by Canada but it will be a 50/50 ownership with Michigan? Michigan would be hot the most of the bridge doesn't open as planned from what I read.

The rest is utter delusion and mental illness.

Curious…

El Paso handles about 100,000 flights and around 5 million passengers a year.

The NOTAM states

“The Federal Aviation Administration classifies the airspace defined in this NOTAM as ‘HTL Defense Airspace’. Pilots who do not adhere to the following proc may be intercepted, detained and interviewed by law enforcement/security personnel. The United States government may use deadly force against the airborne aircraft, if it is determined that the aircraft poses an imminent security threat

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The Federal Aviation Administration is closing the airspace around El Paso International Airport in Texas for 10 days, grounding all flights to and from the airport.

A notice posted on the FAA’s website said the temporary flight restrictions were for “special security reasons,” but did not provide additional details. The closure does not include Mexican airspace.

The airport said in an Instagram post that all flights to and from the airport would be grounded from late Tuesday through late on Feb. 20, including commercial, cargo and general aviation flights. It suggested travelers contact their airlines to get up-to-date flight information.

The shutdown is likely to create significant disruptions given the duration and the size of the metropolitan area. El Paso, a border city with a population of nearly 700,000 and larger when you include the surrounding metro area, is hub of cross-border commerce alongside neighboring Ciudad Juarez in Mexico.

The airport describes itself as the gateway to west Texas, southern New Mexico and northern Mexico. Southwest, United, American and Delta all operate flights there, among others.

For comparison, the FAA only closed airspace for 2 days after 9/11…

“All flights to and from El Paso are grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation. The FAA has issued a flight restriction halting all flights to and from El Paso effective from February 10 at 11:30 PM (MST) to February 20 at 11:30PM (MST),” said an airport spokesperson.

The spokesperson added: “Travelers should contact their airlines to get most up-to-date flight status information.”

It is understood that the airspace over a major US city has not been closed since the 9/11 terrorist attack unfolded in New York on September 11, 2026.

“All air traffic has been halted in a 10 nautical mile range around the airport, so encompassing El Paso and Fort Bliss, from the ground to 17,000 feet. So, no aircraft in or out, regardless of what they are, whether it’s air carriers, military, medevac helicopters, law enforcement. Nobody can fly as this thing is written up,” an undisclosed source told website El Paso Matters

Aren't Trump's team meant to check his posts before they go out, so he can blame them if they're racist, sexist, exhibit signs of a mental disability, etc?

Looks like they messed up again then!

I’ve seen this described this morning as ‘like dealing with Al Capone in his syphilitic stage’.

Sounds about right.

ICE officers suspended after making ‘untruthful statements’ about shooting

The federal immigration officers are facing a criminal inquiry after new evidence surfaced contradicting their accounts after the Jan. 14 shooting of a Venezuelan man.

Two immigration officers have been suspended and are facing a criminal investigation into whether they lied under oath about the shooting of a Venezuelan man in Minneapolis last month.


The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that a recent review of video evidence revealed that the officers “appear to have made untruthful statements” in sworn testimony given as part of a case charging two men — including the shooting victim, Julio Cesar Sosa-Celis — with attacking immigration agents.

A federal judge dismissed the charges against Sosa-Celis and his co-defendant Thursday after the U.S. attorney in Minneapolis said that “newly discovered evidence” was “materially inconsistent with the allegations” the officers had made…

… Since last summer, officers from ICE, Border Patrol and Homeland Security Investigations have been involved in at least 16 such shootings, including three that were fatal. None of the officers has faced criminal charges.

By contrast, federal authorities have pursued felony counts in 10 cases against people who were fired at by the officers, accusing them of being the aggressors.

In half of those cases, including the one involving Aljorna and Sosa-Celis, prosecutors have either dropped charges or a judge has dismissed them after evidence emerged contradicting the government’s narrative of events.

In other news, he's getting out of hand again.

Now what do we call Trump trying to enlist Schumer's aid by unfreezing billions of dollars in federal funding?

I know: how about "BRIBE"?!

Why doesn't the prat (not the word I originally used, but on previewing the post, which I always do in case I've made a typo in the link, it censored said word) go all the way and rename the entire country - or, hell, why not the entire bloody world? - after himself?

There's Republican talk of adding his face to Mount Rushmore. That had better be just talk - there's no room for another face there. The only option would be to do a Zod and...I can't even type it. The four Presidents immortalised there deserved to be. They earned their place in history. What, other than ruining everything, has this moron done?

Trump said the United States will contribute $10 billion to the Board of Peace. He did not say where the money would come from or whether he would seek it from the U.S. Congress.

From a previous post in this thread

Decisions of the Executive Board shall be made by a majority of its members present and voting, including the Chief Executive. Such decisions shall go into effect immediately, subject to veto by the Chairman at any time thereafter.

Internal disputes between and among Board of Peace Members, entities, and personnel with respect to matters related to the Board of Peace should be resolved through amicable collaboration, consistent with the organizational authorities established by the Charter, and for such purposes, the Chairman is the final authority regarding the meaning, interpretation, and application of this Charter.
