Spiritual isn't at all the right word for me.

I prefer 'A romantic in reference to matters of reality.'
How it started:

Trump and the White House decry as seditious lawmakers telling members of the military not to follow unlawful orders.

How it's going:
Trump administration is ‘selling out’ admiral to shield Hegseth over boat strikes, officials say
White House names Adm Frank M Bradley as officer who ‘directed the engagement’, distancing Hegseth from accountability

They didn't tell them to disobey his orders.

They told them to disobey ILLEGAL orders.

He's literally telling on himself here, folks.

Y'know, I'd be really interested to hear former US Attorney General Merrick Garland's thoughts on the legacy of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

"An example MUST BE SET"

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

"HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!"

-Trump 11/20/2025

"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

-King Henry II 12/25/1170

Make no mistake. He knows what he's doing here. This is just the latest step toward his coup.

Trump's comments came after a group of Democrats urged US service members to refuse unlawful commands.

How it started:

"Speaker Mike Johnson expressed hope that the Senate would amend the proposed legislation aimed at releasing documents related to Jeffrey Epstein"

How its going:

"Senate unanimously approves bill to force release of Epstein files"

Oooh, sorry Mike, your bad faith "hope" failed.

Boomer Schumer has been the Dem leader in the Senate since 2017.

Since then, the fight against Trump and the Republican fascists has been, lets say, less effective than you would expect given the stakes and embarrassment of riches you enjoy with Trump's idiocy.

Time to replace Schumer.

So back during Covid, multiple stimulus checks flooded the economy with fast money, devaluing the dollar and starting the runaway inflation we're still fighting.

Guess who wants to start that all over again to con the Supreme Court into believing tariffs aren't a revenue raising tax.
Trump again promises $2,000 tariff dividend as SCOTUS decision looms
He's brought the idea up before but never taken steps to execute it.

Takeaways:

The three cargos they bought so far are not that large.

They've already got the soybeans they need through November from Argentina.

Dec and Jan market conditions favor Brazil.

China now prefers Brazil's higher quality soybeans.

And my own take: XI is walking Trump like a dog.
Exclusive: China buys US soybean cargoes ahead of Trump-Xi meet, sources say
China's state-owned COFCO bought three U.S. soybean cargoes, two trade sources said, the country's first purchases from this year's U.S. harvest, shortly before a summit of leaders Donald Trump and Xi Jinping.

So wait...

The guy who SWEARS that a report of him being on tape peeing on hookers in Russia is a completely unbelievable fabrication just put out an AI generated video specifically illustrating him spewing feces on people?

I think Donald has a kink and just told on himself.

A lot of people don't know Jesus was a big proponent of heavily armed soldiers attacking migrants and their families and kicking them the hell out of the country if their paperwork wasn't legit.

Rough guy, that Jesus.

Evangelicals, I know this lie is enough for you to approve of ICE.

Shame on you

Bill Burr is a voice I and many others listen to. He would humbly pretend not to understand that and say he's just a guy that tells jokes.

I know better. So does he. Voices can come to matter, even if they're just telling jokes.

That's why it's disappointing to see him doing the Riyadh Festival.

So.

Either a Trump staffer ahead of them tripped the safety-stop accidentally and a White House staffer flubbed the teleprompter. And then the President's supporters showed their whole ass over it.

Or it WAS sabotage, because the POTUS is a joke to the world.

Either way, they're laughing at us.

Tariffs are not only the largest tax increase in American history, they represent a permanent price increase on items, whether they are made here or abroad.

A child doesn't catch measles simply because they're to young to be vaccinated.

They catch it because someone near them had measles.

Somewhere, there is a person that probably survived measles that has no idea they killed a child.

Get vaccinated to protect yourself but also to protect others.
