60 minutes? Somewhat jingoistic, god-fearing, and stinking of machismo. Nice touch showing the head of the DOD, as merely human.

The HL reads Trump blames Kyiv for diesel shortage. Like the dog blames his tail for getting caught in the screen door. Is this Trump's way of saying Ukraine can't defend itself, and counterattack? "cause if is, it sends the wrong message to a lot of people.
The audacity of Vance, thinking that we'd accept everything HLS has done, no legal notice, not actually checking records, shooting 1st & asking questions later, relying on ignorance & fear, Is a good thing? Vance and all his tech buddies, can go to hell. Either do the work, or go the hell away.
Starting after the Civil War, look at policy and consistencies in the United States, both within, and outside our borders. We were at our worst with autocratic POTUS's. Trump ain't the 1st. We are at out best when the rights of the people are respected. Take Vance's challenge. Do the work. He won't.
Protesting, Dear Republicans, needs to occur BEFORE you get into office. Not, as an officeholder. Stop playing the adolescent Trump Believer, and do your jobs. Don't like your jobs? Quit!
My parents experienced the Great Depression & WWII. My generation protested The US being involved in forever wars, and the smugness of our imperial attitude toward the world. Much of the success of the US came because of economics and a liberal democracy. Today? Either learn from history or suffer.
Consider the following. Why is this happening? Mr. "We don't need your help, but we resent your independence", is involved in all kinds of self-dealing. -
I challenge you, Mr. Thune. [“When people start focusing and realize what’s at stake, a lot of our voters start coming home.” Sen. John Thune (R-SD)]. Is the following what you mean or do you think we're a bunch of fools? -
So, the obvious question is, how many people do you know that would take a bribe, to sell out democracy? And … who's money is Trump pretending to use? Let's see the money 1st, before we tell him to stuff it. -
First, hate of a mythical CA is just complete nonsense. Paxton needs to run in his own lane & state. Second, what in the hell is he talking about? - “California already has two senators; it doesn’t need a third. But that’s exactly what James Talarico would be.” Ken Paxton (R), quoted by USA Today.
Maybe back off a bit. This is not Ben-Laden, who's body was dumped in the ocean. Rather, the parties anti-intellectualism, & need to feel superior should be exposed to a 1000 suns. The Trumpian need to return to the 19th century and expel all Reformation thought is absurd. Bullying has to end. -
Of note. Finally, thirty years after the internet burst on the scene, when mouse pads were handed out as an inducement, I've worn out my last free pad.
Ted Cruz on the View, thinking he can still run for president? Why? Because he's no longer the most crazy politician around.
Eh! A warning from above@ As clear as "don't 'tas' me bro!" The gift plane was saying, don't go! - Trump’s Texas Trip Delayed After Emergency Slide Deploys
OK, gotta ask. What are (is?) the proper pronouns for conversing with an AI?
I love the way Trump puts relief for higher gas prices, right after the midterms. He's done this a lot lately, as if anyone believes what he says, or can hold him responsible. Right after the midterms, Trump will become rabid. Anyone doubt me?
So if "Justice Kavanaugh stands up for state constitutional law in the Missouri congressional case", isn't states rights what running the midterm elections is all about? Looking for consistency from SCOTUS. And waiting ...

A Secretive DHS ‘Predictive Policing’ Unit is Analyzing Americans’ Financial Habits and Pulling Them Over
404 Media is revealing the name of Border Patrol's predictive policing units, which analyze financial data and have local cops pull people over. The people are not suspected of any particular crime.

Someone should remind Gov. Sununu, what his dad said about RR. "Let Reagan be Reagan", which is to say in Trumpland, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you", which RR said. How's that Republican majority working out, with the moron in charge? He's got some strange, fascist ideas.
Since the FCC is about news and entertainment, it's up to you to decide if Brendan Carr has anything to do with either. Vote. - HL reads FCC May Issue Guidance On ‘Fake Polls’
@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social To blame Dem leadership for Trump's e;electoral victory is extremely short-sighted. He was voted in, yes? It's a long range problem that needs new blood.
Was that before or after he was so excited that after the Twin towers fell, his building was the tallest in Manhattan? Even though it wasn't? We have tape on that.Trump works with nobody. - The HL reads, Trump Claims He Worked with First Responders After 9/11
This isn't the 1930s, but I expect that sooner or later the Gulf countries, though distrustful of each other, will form a united front, with or without the help of the EU & the US. At that point, Iran may find itself up against it's own existential threat; put down the weapons of war or vanish.
Who was the mayor then? Giuliani. Let him know. - After 9/11, Documents Suggest New Yorkers Were Misled About Air Quality - NYT
Trump's plan to pay at home parents? Isn't that SOCIALISM? Besides, proof in the form of an agreed upon plan is needed. With Trump, talk ain't cheap, it's inflationary!
Apparently, in the United States, there is no legal definition of customer service. A shame.
I suppose there's not enough going on in the world. The majority of new film releases I read about deal with either an alien presence, a demonic spirit, a strange new dimension, or real-life depictions of unsolved crimes; usually British. Is there no joy in the world?
Ignorance and stupidity as reasons. Should I hate all people of Italian decent because of Mussolini? Obviously, not. Yet the ex-Mayor has a similar idea about people of Muslim descent, which actually is about religion, not nationality. Giuliani strikes a sympathetic note, which is very sour. -
