Various interests, mostly female-fronted punk; big fan of the <=2 min. song.
Today the USA captured and took control of a Venezuelan oil tanker.
I posted elsewhere, and I think here, that's why we're attacking Venezuela. For their oil.
Venezuela also has mines of rare earth minerals. Those mines are inside Venezuela but are controlled by rogue groups. We'll attack them.

I propose we stop calling them "masks" and instead call them "hoods".

Venezuela may be Sleepy Don's Gaza.

Copied from another source and verified by every source I checked:

"Department of Defense Law of War Manual, Section 18 states the 'requirement' to refuse illegal orders. Guess what their example of an illegal order is? It's 'orders to fire upon the shipwrecked.'"

It's in Section 18.3.2.1.

Will the brownshirts wear a different color to make it less obvious?

IDF continues to slaughter civilians in Gaza, but if you oppose genocide, that makes you anti-Israel and anti-Judaism in the eyes of many Americans. I don't remember in the Torah where it says to commit genocide. What book is that?

"In the United States, the maximum punishment for a service member who carries out a manifestly illegal order can include life imprisonment or even the death penalty — depending on the nature of the act committed."

I am starting Medicare this year. Marcella and I are looking at plans. We're both above average intelligence. I have little clue how to choose the best plans for me. It's excessively complicated.

How do the poor (no internet, no Quicken) and average intelligence people work this out?

Every time I hear "Breaking News!" I have a glimmer of hope that's dashed only seconds later.

Bill Clinton is being libeled and slandered by people who claim to be liberal. It's not liberal to make false accusations. It's con.

"Lock him up with Trump," the liberals are saying. He's been accused of one rape - not litigated - and two cases of unwelcome sexual advances - all adult women.

Sleepy Don uses random capitalization and sometimes poor grammar, and overuses exclamation points and makes other punctuation mistakes, but he never misspells anything. I find that bizarre. I don't think it's spell check. It would catch the grammar and other mistakes.

I was delightfully wrong. Johnson allowed the vote on releasing the Epstein files, and it passed. He says he'll release the files next week.

By then he will have lost them, and every copy of them. Or Trump's name will be redacted. Whole pages will be redacted. Or Sleepy Don will pardon himself.

Does anyone else think Sleepy Don looks significantly less orange lately?

After the swearing in, and the vote on the budget, I expect Johnson to adjourn this session of The House, without a vote on the Epstein files.

In more doomscrolling news, officials in Tehran are about to evacuate 14.4 million people from Tehran Province to - they don't know where, they don't have a plan about that - because Tehran runs out of water in about a week.

This is a highly catastrophic event for humankind.

It's time for Schumer to step down or else he's going to get a strongly worded letter.

The Senate just voted indirectly to kill ACA.

Only 30 minutes more of doomscrolling before I turn on Bill Maher and begin doomwatching.

The doomscrolling hasn't been all that great today. Here's one for you: Look up the drought in Teheran. The story is on Aljazeera.

Cons, don't forget to vote twice today, or else risk losing your GOP membership!

During our bleakest times we need for our artists to do lots of art. More than usual.

Bibi can't go more than a few days without murdering civilians in other countries. He stays out of prison in Israel by committing war crimes.

Can someone please tell me how to get the latest posts on my Home page? Frequently it gives me only the posts 7 hours old or older. I follow many people that post a dozen times a day and I can't see their most recent posts.

If SNAP and Medicaid aren't funded, there will a huge spike in violent crime by the end of November.

Why $20B to Argentina? It's Plan B. Argentina is where Nazis evade prosecution and extradition.
