The good news is that now they are opening an investigation.

After the midterms, they’ll just summarily execute opponents.

Anyone with half a brain knows this bullshit, but I watch FOX so you don’t have to, and they only wonder why Walz and Frey weren’t arrested long ago.

So now we have to attack Greenland and destroy NATO simply because Donald Trump doesn’t want us to see the proof that he raped underage girls (boys?). Look, we already know.

Warning, crude pun ahead. No minors allowed!

If Trump got piece in his time, why can’t we have peace in ours?

If you’re a minor you can go au naturel, but if you’re over 16, you‘l need enhancements to be a Mar a Lago Mama.

If I recall, when Lyndon Johnson made a crude accusation against an opponent in a Texas election his aide said no one would believe it. He said sure, but let’s make the fu**er deny it. Besides, the accusation will be on page 1, but the denial will be on page 15.
Details are only approx. true.

When all you have is a hammer…something, something, something…

So in future economic histories of the US Smoot-Hawley and Donald Trump will be in the same chapter on causes of major depressions.

So now MAGA is FOR the new world order and AGAINST releasing the Epstein files.

Here’s what the Spartans thought of that:

When someone remarked how readily he changed his mind he said: “ Yes, but in accordance with the circumstances, and not like you people, because of a weak character.”

I doubt Americans did it when Obama was president.

Since WWII was fought in Europe, when I lived there in 1972, they were more viscerally aware of the consequences of fascism. I had strangers hug me crying and thanking me for what the US did after the war. I also met unrepentant Nazis and cynics.

The New World Order (NWO) is a term often used in conspiracy theories which hypothesize a secretly emerging totalitarian world government...was limited to two American countercultures, primarily the militantly anti-government right, and secondarily the part of fundamentalist Christianity

Why was Biden’s problem INFLATION, but Trump’s is AFFORDABILITY?

Everyone hates Inflation, what do people think about Affordabilit?

The ‘central casting’ method has largely worked.

I can certainly see her moving in to Levitt’s or Noem’s job. But then where do they go? To cabinet positions? Ambassadors?
Senior advisors? They disappear? Heart disease?

Leavitt and Noem know too much and no one retires from the mob?

Mostly I wanted say that Bama IU game repeating on ESPN.

I enjoy seeing Bama crushed almost as much as seeing IU win.

Agree. They added them in Billings, Montana and sped things up big time.

I went to school at Carleton college, in Northfield, Minnesota.

Minnesotans are polite, but resilient. Best case scenario, a major cold front hits, ICE will melt and the Nordic race will ski over their frozen remains.

Madison wasn’t the first (or last) to say this.

In a fragment from Euripides lost play, Auge,
“Cursed be all those who rejoice to see the city in the hands of a single man or under the yoke of a few men. The name of freeman is the most precious of all titles:”

Good thing.

People might start to think that the government is here to help and not just fleece them and steer money to the Trump family.

Keep hope dead as a door nail.

During the Vietnam War, Americans in Europe put Canadian flags on their back packs.

This is much, much worse.

Like pouring lava on rocks in order to make them hard.

Let’s talk about phases, I.e. solid, liquid, gas.

water vapor is hot liquid water, liquid water is hot ice.

Is there anything about which they’re not ignorant?

Is China crazy?

Do you buy things from companies who are unreliable, treat you like crap and hate your guts?

Even a bad businessman knows the answer to this.

American farmers are Trump’s most recent bankruptcy.
