Aging Deadhead hoping it's not too late to hold on to this democratic way of life.
As in the song:
A peaceful place or so it looks from space
A closer look reveals the human race

Vinyl heads and CD collectors who dig the modern "cosmic americana" tripped out pedal steel sound, this fine album is now available in physical media...I dig it, like most Bobby Lee projects (the British choogler not the overrated traitor general)

Question - when did behavior really start to become uncivilized?

Trump’s Department of Education excludes nursing as a professional degree. Let’s consider that we already have a shortage of nurses. This will restrict funding to nursing students. It’s like one stupid thing after another with this guy. 🔄 www.statesman.com/news/article...
Department of Education says nursing is no longer a professional degree
The education department no longer considers nursing as a professional degree program, which can weaken funding for students wanting to enter the health care field.

Attributed to Nikita Khrushchev during the cold war...

"We do not have to invade the United States; we will destroy you from within."

It seems Russia was a bit early in their assessment.

They need trump (Krasnov) to come of age.

The same way trump is slowly chipping away at the rights & benefits that made America - America, he's been lying to & selling out our allies.

The only explanation is Putin has Kompromat on him. It's a combination of keeping secrets quiet and benefiting trump family & organization financially.
November 22, 2025 at 1:17 AM
And with all due respect to my MAGA friends, whose politics focus obsessively on kowtowing to donald trump: your stagnating rights & benefits have everything to do with trump no matter who or what the bogeymen at Fox & Newsmax tell you to blame.
So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.

Got it.

On his watch, Congress has neutered itself completely, in ways that would have shocked & embarrassed congressional leaders of earlier generations.
Much of Trump's early excesses were enabled entirely by the cowardice of a Congress that refused to stand up for America & to stand up for themselves.

Not following illegal orders is part of the military oath.

Perhaps getting upset about adhering to a solemn oath is trump’s conscience reminding him he is acting in total opposition to the one HE took.

Privileged to share a guest post today by a US veteran and intelligence analyst on the echoes they see between the regimes they used to monitor and today’s US.

They asked to remain anonymous - itself a sign of how worrying things have become in America.
