Unfortunately, I think MAGA is just the largest tumor in a metastatic cancer that is widespread and very hard to cure. Look at the AfD and the weird ideas among many Germans that they can keep their social programs and standard of living while eliminating immigration, with an aging population.

Donald Trump is a sort of virus gaining access to cells via the ignorance gene and replicating via nihilistic cynicism.

So then what he is saying is that Donald Trump is the worst thing to happen to the U.S. military since Vietnam. Or maybe the Civil War.

I know just how he/she feels.

It's in storage with that flying car Elon Musk claims he has built, along with a full record of true statements by Donald Trump, all of which fit on three lines of an index card, and the shriveled remains of the soul of Stephen Miller, in a very, very, very small jar of formaldehyde.

Well just, almost a third voted for Trump, almost a third voted against him, slightly less than the first group, and the largest group sat it out-ca. 90 million. So he was elected. The Greeks said Suffering is Wisdom, but you'd have to add, short attention span and magical thinking to explain.

Several people I played football with died before the age of 55, from things that are linked to CTE, etc, like ALS.

The average lifespan of an NFL player ends at 59.6 years and many of those are unhealthy for years before that.

So far, I have been very lucky. I loved playing. But.

This whole Trump-Business alliance is a Trojan Horse inside a Russian Doll inside an Embezzlement Envelope.

I think it's possible to do both. After all, if the guys following orders think for themselves, and recognize illegal orders, then that whole declaration of an insurrection for the 2026 election plan of Trump goes nowhere.

Well I'd say +/- 30% are okay with it or don't care, about an equal number think it's treason, and the rest sat out the last election and are busy sucking their thumbs with their heads stuck up their phones but if asked, will say they think Ukraine is something you use on a construction project.

The Trump administration has been basically having a drunken, drug addled, racist-themed frat party, breaking all the windows and kicking holes in the walls except it's an airplane not a frat house and Dems will have to repair the damage, prosecute the guilty and fly the plane, all at once

Sam Altman is PT Barnum riding a wave of bullshit and Jonathan Ive is a rich but no longer relevant guy trying to hang on to his genius card and Fuck both of them, I say.

Well here is the thing: Not only is she a crazy racist, she obviously thinks it is totally okay if she blocks the exit, gets out of her car, and tries to "arrest" people because they appear not White. So what is she surrounded by that helps her live in a bubble that makes her think she can do this?

61% of SNAP recipients in most recent data were White, 86.6% were U.S. born, 39% were in the South.

What the data says about food stamps in the U.S.
On average, 42.4 million people in 22.7 million households received monthly SNAP benefits through the first eight months of the 2025 fiscal year.

Huh. Macron and Merz are not of the Left at all. Macron is basically a neoliberal free market guy. Merz is of the Center-Right CDU. Macron is the most unpopular leader in France since Louis XVI, only in office because the left united to oppose his fascist opponents.Guardian is an excellent paper.

Funniest part is the actual people protesting because their location in places like Dubai was disclosed. So unfair. Etc.
November 25, 2025 at 7:23 AM
Well I'd say the further up the chain of command, the less the possibility that anyone can say, Oh, I thought this was a legal and legitimate target. Which would be why Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned. And why Pete Hegseth can go to jail. Though Trump would have pardoned William Calley. So.

Wait, where's the Sedlec pictures . . . .

Well to be fair, cutting important programs probably covered the cost of Elon's flights back and forth from his various government-paid company locations, like Space X and Boring.
