Praise is to Trump as oo-mox are to a Ferengi. Apologies to non-Trekkies for the obscure reference. The point is that the entire planet knows that if you want something from Trump, just stroke him to an egogasm.

Funny you should ask! Truman, 1952, talking about the GOP since 20 years earlier, i.e., 1930's. So not in living memory.

It takes two to tango as hey turn our military into cannon fodder for Iranian drones while the both lie that everything has been knocked out.

Great Historical Dictionary, Moscovy

We've gone back to add Wikipedia links and footnotes to our transcribed "Muscovy" entry from the 17th century "Great Historical Dictionary." It's a fascinating window on what eventually became the heart of the Russian empireβ€”and that, in ways, it remains stuck in time.

BINGO! And just as it is for the Kremlin, sending our military to die into a needless war proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that to Trump and Hegseth, our dedicated selfless military is nothing but game-ified CANNON FODDER to be sacrificed for their personal gloryβ€”and that human life holds no value.

HO BOY! Trump's going to stop the war he started ("9th")?

Trump is certifiably insane, proud to kill people. If Biden said this the GOP would have him out of the office before the close of business.

left half Trump with American flag, right half Putin with Russian flag

At the rate Putin and Trump are going, Xi is going to be the pacifist odd man out.
Brangelina, Bennifer, TomKat, Traylor,... you can now add Trumputin.

That happens to my better half.
Whereas in my case it's eating a muffin, finding out it's not nearly as yummy as I expected, yet I finish eating the muffin, nevertheless.

DA was truly miffed. We pieced together it was a murder trial, two brothers, one pulled the trigger, the other flipped.
I've never been able to suck up to authority, and authority always detects I don't/can't/won't. It's a strength or a weakness all depending on management. Never a neutral.

I was dismissed for questioning the asst. DA: "So you're asking us can we believe a witness who is a bad person from a bad neighborhood because bad people are the only people you can find in a bad neighborhood?" Assistant DA was not amused. "No, that is not at all what I am asking." Me: "No, it is."

Never much of a sandwich person, however, brisket, reuben, or my go-to through 4 years of college was ham and tomato on bun with mayo

@civilwarmemory.bsky.socialβ€”I've heard the head of Moms for Liberty's VA chapter on the radio. Their nationwide mission is to infest every local school board to promote false sociology, science, and history, as in Oklahoma. The threat is not imagined, it is existential. We are at a tipping point.

@civilwarmemory.bsky.social's complaint about VA mandating the J6 insurrection be taught as insurrection mistakes the symptom for the disease. It is a bulwark against school boards, standards committees, and other states already mandating the propagation of lies, e.g.,

They fancy themselves apex predators but are, instead, apex bigots, apex misogynists, and most of all apex idiots.

As a first-generation-American, I was clueless to America's widespread subculture of malignant apex bigotry until Trump freed them to express themselves.

Trump is making the world hate us, and Iran just hate us more. The US will be a 10x worse pariah than Russia. Russia was never moral. But the US was generous in helping others and moral in ideals, if not perfect in practice.
The only way back is for the GOP to remove Trump and say, "He's not us."

GOP is in for the power, for the grift, and are afraid for their and their families' safety if Trump turns on them.

Nearly half of Israelis support army killing all Palestinians in Gaza, poll finds An overwhelming number of Israelis, including seculars, back the forced transfer of Palestinians from Gaza and Israel

Roughly half say remove all Palestinians from the country. It doesn't even mattered who "started it." Just look at Wikipedia, where Israelis and Palestinians argue over whose place-name for some village is the older, "proving" who are the "indigenous" people.
