"After the Kapp putsch in 1920 the [German] government charged 705 persons with high treason; only one, the police president of Berlin, received a sentence—five years of 'honorary confinement.'"

"Cognitively irresponsible" leaders do not want to explain themselves. They don't want to answer questions. They just want you to accept "because I said so" and have that be the end of the discussion. This is an autocrat. This is not a president.
Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Too bad Kid Rock wasn’t there for a “killer” duet that would go down in infamy.

The mellower and mature psychedelic Flowers felt right to start 2026 with for some reason.

They think they have the right to go anywhere and do anything they want at any time.
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”

SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”

CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”

SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔

He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.

MTV will officially stop playing music videos.

I’m sure most of us thought that had already happened.

My favorite video of the early 80s era. I saw him on the tour for this album and it’s a top 5 all time concert for me.
