... except when you need a doctor or need to fly across the country. That is when things get pleasantly ugly, with Trump-appointed morons like Duffy and RFK Jr in charge whose budgets have been slashed and the money diverted to worship the Great American Moron of All Times by building ballrooms and triumphal arches to his honor. The government has been pruned and slashed by the Crown Moron Elon Musk, so it's OK, for example, that we have a measles epidemic growing by the day or that millions of sub-human Americans with high melanin indices in their skin are getting sick because of cuts to Medicaid or that the country's aviation industry has ground to a halt. That is how God's own Darwinian capitalism operates without the need for human laws. O MAGA.
Meanwhile, the Dear Great American Moron Leader Donald J. Trump, whom we must love and fear at the same time (like his fellows God, Kim Jong Un or Vladimir Putin), doesn't use public transportation to fly: He's got his own $400 million personal Boeing. He also has restored DC's Golf courses to their glory so he can hit the links and continue ruining the country and make it great.
Oh and it's official: The US has joined the list of shithole countries by losing its "Measles-free" status, thanks to the Dear Leader Donald J. Trump's benevolent love for his people and his appointed Not-a Real-Doctor charlatan genius Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Like North Koreans do every minute of their lives, the American people should be thanking the Great Moron Dear Leader all the time and expressing gratitude for his love and care.

The White House claims President Donald Trump is receiving "constant updates" on the rare Federal Aviation Administration ground stop situation, even though he hasn't commented for reporters or on Truth Social.
The FAA issued a nationwide ground stop for all flights Friday, which lasted for about four hours. Repercussions could still be felt Saturday, as thousands of stranded passengers scrambled to rebook their flights and questioned whether flying was safe. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy blamed the problem on faulty communications equipment and a lack of funding from Congress.
CNN's Brian Todd reported from the White House on Trump's odd silence:
It's been a somewhat bizarre and certainly uncharacteristic silence from the president yesterday and today on all of this. He has not spoken out publicly yesterday or today. He has not posted anything on Truth Social yesterday or today about the entire situation. We are told by a White House official that the president is receiving constant updates about the air traffic situation in the United States, but he certainly has not come out publicly and said anything or posted anything on it. We're not expected to hear from the president again this evening.
Todd added that an anonymous source told CNN that "President Trump has been corresponding with Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt several times over the past few months about legislation to modernize air traffic control centers, control towers, airport terminals, and other infrastructure."
The president is also "working with the senator to ask for $30 billion in additional funding from Congress," Todd said.
Trump spent Saturday posting about a variety of other subjects, from "Gavin Newscum" [sic] to his legal woes over the East Patonmac [sic] Park golf course renovation.
The golf course post, that included dozens of photographs, read in its entirety:
Trash Island is currently the Worst Golf Course anywhere in the World, but the Department of the Interior is going to make it into the Best Golf Course anywhere in the World. Unfortunately, Judge Ana Reyes doesn't want us to quickly and inexpensively fix up the Course which is, also, very dangerous — The Fairways are far too close together. When you walk down the corridors of Trash Island, you don't hear the sound of the running Potomac, all you hear is the sound of people screaming, "FORE!"
In any event, we're making progress, and hopefully the Judge will agree that the Dignity, Beauty, and Importance of Washington, D.C., will be greatly enhanced by this soon to be beautiful Project. Trash Island, after years of laughter and scorn, will evolve into something very special, something which the Judge will be able to take great pride in seeing! All over the World it will be acclaimed as being the Best Golf Course anywhere, attracting the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship, the Ryder Cup, and the Presidents Cup, with all of the Economic Development that will bring. Very importantly, also, is that anyone living in the D.C. area will be given a 50% discount on any and all Rates charged.
The Department of the Interior has done a magnificent job of cleaning, fixing, renovating, and rebuilding 83 Fountains, Monuments, and Statues throughout our beautiful Capital. Even the Reflecting Pool, which hasn't worked properly since its building in 1922, is open, beautiful, and working as it was always expected to do. Perhaps most importantly, Crime in Washington, D.C., is down 91%, A RECORD, and the People are happy and safe again! The Department of the Interior's Golf Project will greatly enhance everything else that has already taken place in the last two year period. Everyone is proud and grateful again! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP
During a Saturday news conference with Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford apologized to the "American traveling public" for the nationwide chaos. He said he expected airlines to return to "full schedule integrity" on Sunday, after another 4,000 to 5,000 flights would be canceled on Saturday.
Others were less optimistic, though. Former FAA senior executive Mike McCormick told Fox News he expects it to take "at least 48 hours" for air travel to return to normal.
Trump Hides Out Amid Crisis to Rage Over Golf Course

President Donald Trump has thrown a fit on Truth Social over his golf course vanity project as he remains holed up amid the fallout from a nationwide air traffic fiasco.
The 80-year-old president has not been seen publicly since the FAA abruptly grounded every flight in the country Friday afternoon, citing "extraordinary circumstances" and "reasons of safety."
Although the ground stop was lifted more than four hours after it began Friday evening, travelers across the U.S. remain stranded as delays and cancellations spilled into Saturday.
Yet Trump has neither appeared in public nor made any public remarks about the nationwide crisis, which Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has since traced back to botched work on an "upgrade" to telecom systems at a remote location.
Even on Truth Social, where he routinely offers running commentary on the latest developments, Trump has said nothing about the flight crisis.
In fact, the president has not made a public appearance since Wednesday. A video interview with sports commentator Stephen A. Smith on Thursday provided the latest sighting of the president, though it was conducted privately within the White House.

The White House did not immediately respond to the Daily Beast's questions about the president's whereabouts and why he has not publicly commented on the ground stop.
Trump has, however, flooded Truth Social with long screeds about other matters, including a 319-word rant about his stalled plans to raze D.C.'s East Potomac Park and turn it into a championship-level golf course.
Calling the park "Trash Island," the president raged over District Judge Ana Reyes, a Biden appointee, who has launched an investigation into whether the government's lawyers lied about the administration's plans for the park.

"Unfortunately, Judge Ana Reyes doesn't want us to quickly and inexpensively fix up the Course which is, also, very dangerous — The Fairways are far too close together," he wrote on Truth Social.
"When you walk down the corridors of Trash Island, you don't hear the sound of the running Potomac, all you hear is the sound of people screaming, 'FORE!' In any event, we're making progress, and hopefully the Judge will agree that the Dignity, Beauty, and Importance of Washington, D.C., will be greatly enhanced by this soon to be beautiful Project," he continued. "Trash Island, after years of laughter and scorn, will evolve into something very special, something which the Judge will be able to take great pride in seeing!"
Reyes has been weighing a request to block the administration's planned closure of the public course and is expected to hand down her decision on Saturday.
Trump then turned to a lengthy celebration of his own accomplishments in Washington, highlighting renovations to "Fountains, Monuments, and Statues throughout our beautiful Capital."
"Everyone is proud and grateful again!" he claimed.

RFK Jr. Draws Scrutiny Online After U.S. Loses Measles-Free Status

Lawmakers lashed out at Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. after a bombshell Wall Street Journal report that the U.S. lost its measles-elimination status after 26 years, criticizing his leadership.
"This didn't have to happen," Rep. James Walkinshaw (D-Va.) wrote on X Saturday. "We have a safe, effective vaccine that has protected generations of Americans. We know how to prevent measles. Instead, President Trump put Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a notorious anti-vaxxer, in charge of our public health agencies."
The U.S. was initially recognized to have eliminated the preventable disease in 2000. However, following multiple widespread cases across the U.S, sources told the Wall Street Journal that the Pan American Health Organization, an agency within the World Health Organization, had revoked the country's elimination status.
A source close to the decision process also confirmed with CNN on Friday that the health organization revoked the U.S.' measles elimination status. Researchers with direct knowledge of the decision also confirmed the status change to KFF Health News.
The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to HuffPost when asked for confirmation of the reported status change and comment.
However, CDC director Erica Schwartz told Reuters in an interview published on Tuesday that if the U.S. loses its measles elimination status, "we're going to be doing the same exact thing that we've been doing today, which is working with the states."
The Pan American Health Organization's reported decision would also mean the U.S joins Canada, Spain and the UK in losing the status.
In the wake of the Journal's report, several lawmakers and health professionals have come out to fully blast the health secretary, a longtime anti-vaccine activist who boasts about the Trump administration's overhaul of public health.
One of those lawmakers was Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) who scolded RFK Jr. by calling the news "Shameful."
