Rubio stages font coup: Times New Roman ousts Calibri

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Tuesday ordered diplomats to return to using Times New Roman font in official communications, calling his predecessor Antony Blinken's decision to adopt Calibri a "wasteful" diversity move, according to an internal department cable seen by Reuters.

Right? Right?

Someone needs to get Trump to change the "official' font to Wingdings. That will allow everyone equal access to the content....i.e. no access at all.

NATO is a Cold War relic. The United States should withdraw from NATO and use that money to defend our country, not socialist countries.

Today, I introduced HR 6508 to end our NATO membership.

NATO is the most effective means by which the US defends itself you dolt. It provides the US military with free access to military infrastructure all around the world that house early warning systems and which allow for both forward defence and offensive power projection. Plus it effectively ties the next five or six most powerful militaries into vassalage with the US.

Calibri is woke

That is, of course, a good part of the reason given. But Rubio has outdone himself here by declaring it "wasteful." Think about this. Is the font wasteful (in which case you'd think a sans serif font less wasteful of precious ink and toner and pixels than a serif one)? Or was the order previosuly given to use the Calibri wasteful (in which case issuing yet another order to change font use would be at least equally wasteful)? Think about this, and what is being said, not just about the fonts but the integrity and intelligence of the person issuing the order.

No really, THINK ABOUT THIS! There are some people on this board, and many outside it, who keep making excuses for things. I would urge anyone, privately if need be, actually to think about this. What qualities of honesty and intelligence do we seek in our leadership? How stupid is too stupid, how dishonest is too dishonest, even for people who share our beliefs?
 
Rubio also said that Times New Roman is "more formal and professional"...

Man, but those serifs are powerful little buggers!

Disclaimer: whenever I have had control over such things I have changed to a sans serif font (word processing programme is currently on franklin gothic medium), as I find serif to be annoying little ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊.
 
As someone who worked in the typographic field for 40 years, I can say that sans serif fonts probably use slightly less ink or toner than serif fonts. And many serif fonts have a slightly more official look whereas sans-serif fonts are more casual. However, none of that thinking went into this decision. As always, they're just being dicks.

Candace Owens: “Brigitte Macron has a p*nis. I really want you to know that, Piers because it’s important.”

Piers Morgan: “Brigitte Macron does NOT have a p*nis.”

Candace Owens: “Brigitte Macron has a p*nis. I’m sorry.”

Piers Morgan: “No, she doesn’t. She had three children.”

Candace Owens: “Did she get it removed?… You can have adoptive children. Brigitte Macron was born a dude named Jean-Michel Trogneux

“Brigitte Macron probably pees standing up.”

A complete NUT!

First MTG and now Tucker?
Blimey!

Read the hate he's getting in the comments from MAGA

Tucker: Attacking millions of Americans because they're muslims, it's disgusting. And I'm a Christian. I know there's effort to claim I'm a secret jihadi. I'm not. You should not attack on those grounds. And you're seeing that from Republicans. What the hell are you doing? What you are doing is trying to divide the country…

Tucker told everyone 2 days ago that the Dec 17th Trump speech was going to be a declaration of war on Venezuela. He's flailing about wildly to stay relevant.
 
Tucker is getting more powerful by the day - he has basically stolen all of Alex Jones' audience. He managed to stay in the good graces of the Israel lobby while at the same time platforming and mostly agreeing with Nick Fuentes, gaining solid support from the Openly Nazi wing of the GOP.
Republicans don't dare to ignore him and his bullhorn.
 
yeah he kind of landed on his feet as a social media influencer after the whole fox news thing.

right now they’re picking sides over candace owens thinking the jews aren’t so great and ben shapiro thinking they are.
 
Kristi Noem celebrated her 54th birthday at a Mexican restaurant, Santo Tequila, in her hometown of Watertown, South Dakota. During the celebration, staff sang "Happy Birthday" to her in Spanish. Kristi loved it. She also took off her U.S. Border Patrol baseball cap -- does she sleep in it? -- and enthusiastically allowed the staff to replace it with a pink sombrero.

Kristi says "Santo Tequila" restaurant is a personal fave. After the Noem party left the restaurant, ICE agents arrived and arrested most of the staff. When news media asked ICE what was the reason for the raid and arrests, an ICE spokesperson replied, "I can't comment on that."

Even if this gets debunked, she's still a ◊◊◊◊.

The international version of the term.

I didn't realize I should have labeled this part ↑ a joke -- I should have -- because this crew is rewriting reality as most of us know it. The first paragraph is true, though.

Ooops.

My assessment still stands.

So from the real part here we are left only knowing for sure that she is tone deaf and vain. In the new post-rational age, when context counts for naught unless directed to the left, to connect the xenophobic, mendacious cult clown who inhabits the Noem persona between meals with the jolly sombrero-sporting senora would be unfair woke extrapolation.

There is another that Paxton might like to know about...

Revelations 12:12 (NIV)​

But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you!​
He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.”​
