that's pretty good, but I really favor The Mouth of Sauron.

Better up his support of President Sauron, therby laying the ground work for Sauron's blessing and pardon. Pardons are clearly up for sale.

Ow! Nice recovery. We all do stupid shit without thinking. Nice to regain some karma.

Great news for Washingtons Second Confressional District citizens. Thanks @repricklarsen.bsky.social

This is the perfect definition for the GOP definition of 'compassion.'

Let's call her who she really is, 'The Mouth of Sauron.' She is so much more than just 'creepy.' You know she is lying when you see her lips moving.

Creepy? You bet!! She is after all The Mouth of Sauron.

Ah, thank you for the clarity.

Wait, I thought Heard Island had no human population. They drive Toyotas there?! My world is completely rocked.

OH, pooooooor baby. Just another one of Sauron's minions. Perhaps he is an Orc.

A very timely puzzle.

Happy VE Day. May 9th, 1945. Thank you for your service Mr. Turner.

Oh my! Those are knee pads for the Mouth of Sauron.

Honestly, shouldn't it be worse than this? DOGE will actually result in increased federal spending. UFB! Product shortages are coming due to the tariffs, tourism losses estimated at 90B. I hope folks finally realize what an absolute joke this is . Great, no one will want to come here.

This is because the education trade surplus contributes about 56B to our economy. AYFKM? Of course they did. The hits just keep on coming.

Here's more shock and awe:

100 days of DOGE: lots of chaos, not so much efficiency At the Social Security Administration, lawyers, statisticians and other high-ranking agency officials are being sent from the Baltimore headquarters to regional offices to replace veteran claims processors who have been fired or taken buyouts from the Trump administration.

So Speaketh the Mouth of Sauron so that all may bear witness.

A little adaptation from Hamilton.

Wow. Just frightening to even contemplate that kind of naiveté. We seem to be approaching some big trouble if we are not already there.

OUTRAGEOUS does not even do this justice. Un-frickin-believeable. How can this possibly end well for anyone?

Opinion | Trump is killing one of our strongest exports The president wants to balance U.S. trade deficits? He can’t do it without this industry he hates.

Does he not realize the incredible trade surplus in higher education we have in this country to the tune of $56B. Not to mention the fact many of these highly educated individuals get jobs in the US after graduation and continue to contribute to the economy.

I don't care who you are. EVERYONE has a right to due process. Come get me.
