I would like to return this country it is scratched

While working this morning on a project to initiate more bipartisan dialogue in our nation, tentatively titled “Toward Constructive Engagement With Stupid Nazi Motherfuckers,” I came across this:
The White House has fired at least three National Security Council staffers, three sources familiar with the move told CNN.
The firings came after Laura Loomer, the far-right activist who once claimed 9/11 was an inside job, urged President Donald Trump during a Wednesday meeting to get rid of several members of his National Security Council staff, including his principal deputy national security adviser, claiming that they are disloyal. One of the sources said the firings were a direct result of the meeting with Loomer.
Principal Deputy National Security Adviser Alex Wong was not among those who had been dismissed on Wednesday, however, one White House official speculated to CNN Thursday that Wong could be out as soon as today, though a final decision remains to be seen.
Wong was one of the advisers specifically targeted by Loomer, who publicly questioned his loyalty to Trump and criticized him privately as a “Never Trumper.”
One of the sources speculated that National Security Adviser Michael Waltz may have been reluctant to fire Wong because he has been embroiled in the controversy surrounding the leak of controversial Signal messages related to military strikes on Yemen that Waltz and his team have been under fire for initiating.
The day is young!
Well it isn’t very young several time zones to the east, and it’s actually tomorrow if you go far enough, which reminds me that a friend informed me this morning that the reason the Trump tariff schedule included a “nation” that consists of uninhabited islands, is that whatever organization handles protocols for handing out Internet addresses based on the national origin of the web address is very liberal about handing them out, to avoid conflicts about who exactly counts as a country. So probably what happened is that some bright young staffer did an AI query for a complete list of sovereign nations, which pulled up some uninhabited islands — not counting penguins — that happen to have Internet-based national origin addresses.
It’s DEFINITELY five o’clock somewhere . . . [checks] hey Dublin!
You never saw the like of it in all your born puff. Gob, if he got that lottery ticket on the side of his poll he’d remember the gold cup, he would so, but begob the citizen would have been lagged for assault and battery and Joe for aiding and abetting. The jarvey saved his life by furious driving as sure as God made Moses. What? O, Jesus, he did. And he let a volley of oaths after him.
—Did I kill him, says he, or what?
And he shouting to the bloody dog:
—After him, Garry! After him, boy!
And the last we saw was the bloody car rounding the corner and old sheepsface on it gesticulating and the bloody mongrel after it with his lugs back for all he was bloody well worth to tear him limb from limb. Hundred to five! Jesus, he took the value of it out of him, I promise you.
When, lo, there came about them all a great brightness and they beheld the chariot wherein He stood ascend to heaven. And they beheld Him in the chariot, clothed upon in the glory of the brightness, having raiment as of the sun, fair as the moon and terrible that for awe they durst not look upon Him. And there came a voice out of heaven, calling: Elijah! Elijah! And He answered with a main cry: Abba! Adonai! And they beheld Him even Him, ben Bloom Elijah, amid clouds of angels ascend to the glory of the brightness at an angle of fortyfive degrees over Donohoe’s in Little Green street like a shot off a shovel.
