It seems to me almost inconceivable that so much can hang on the capricious whim of a single, contemptible human being.

Liberation Day……..?
Meaningless nonsense for consumption by angry, ill-educated drones.
In 2016 during the Brexit “debate” the UK was fed a similar BS slogan. It was
“Take back control!”
If there are no coherent answers to the questions
“ of what & from whom?”
Then it’s semantic snake oil.

I’m sorry to hear about the death of Val Kilmer.
A very interesting (Jeff Bridges/Rutger Hauer hybrid) shaped peg.
His portrayal of Doc Holliday, in Tombstone, as the sweaty, laoconic inevitability of death was a masterclass in effortless upstaging.
I was (and remain) one day older than him.

Thinking, who might’ve ‘invited’ the lib journo to the MAGA-bro war chat?
I’m going with either:
Libs within the CIA, or the US military wanting to discredit said authoritarian Maga-bros, or
Libs within European/Ukrainian secret services with the same objectives.
Either way, they were played!

I agree with everything she says except the bit about people just wanting to be told what to do by a white man.
The radical left fear anyone (particularly a black woman) succeeding with what they see as a “compromised” version of their “pure“ beliefs.

My old, beloved dog occasionally leaves unexpected “installations” on the kitchen floor, for me to “experience” first thing in the morning.
I like to think of them as impromptu, Tate Modern pop ups.

I had a friend, who after many years of high functioning alcoholism suddenly developed cirrhosis of the liver.
Watching the US at the moment reminds me of that.
Spoiler alert, she died!
