40 year of IT drudgery, now retired to the beach. Garden, play tennis, SCUBA, travel, and becoming an historian of Second Sino-Japanese War and World War II in China.

Melania has been to the White House this term? I doubt it.
That’s just so they won’t also be accused of sexism.
Yeah - now that the administration has eliminated race as an admission consideration, schools like Harvard and Berkeley will eliminate their cap on Asians. The only “real” Americans that will help are the legacies.
“By sheer coincidence”?
A very frightening reality coming to life. There is a bunker under the ballroom. Hitler history is repeating itself. With Trump sycophants now controlling the FBI, DOJ, Defense, and Supreme Court, future elections are at risk.
I’m sure we taxpayers paid for the salaries, travel, food and lodging for these non qualified hires. Is there any competent “administrator” in this administration? Any junior HR professional could have done better.
Speaks for itself.
This is the Canada ad Trump lost his mind over. Shocker, he’s lying—it is Reagan’s real voice.

He’s now cutting off trade with Canada because he’s scared it could mess with the Supreme Court case over his “reciprocal” tariffs.
Of course they have.

Mike Johnson has not heard anything about the entire East Wing being demolished and cannot speak to that.
Why is ICE training still happening. If it is at the Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) in Brunswick, shouldn’t it be closed for the shutdown?
I will never feel confident about my “fellow Americans” again.
The $$ is supposedly coming from “donations”. No records, no accountability, pay for play and grifting.
More surreal that our fellow citizens voted for him and still believe he is a great man.
China bought Argentine soybeans. The US is bailing out US soybean growers for $20 Bil and bailing out Argentina’s economy for $20 Bil because our dictator likes their dictator. This is not “winning” for US taxpayers.
what a mean spirited, small lackey.
Thank you for what you are doing.
Thank you Madrid.
Madrid Spain: No Tyrants - #NoKings - a very large number of protesters answered the call and came in mass in the city center! Vamos!

Trump told Europe not to buy Russian oil, now he’s championing a meeting in the one EU country still buying it. Hungary.

Deadbeat Political Campaigns Still Owe Creditors Millions
Old campaigns of also-ran politicians remain hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in debt. Will they ever pay?

…So this Venezuela thing is just Argentina pt 2 — aka debt vulture billionaires using US taxpayer money to convert Latin debt?

Suddenly reminded of the 1930s when the State Dept/Treasury was fine with the Nazis as long as they thought Germany would make good on its huge debts

no that Trump feels he has his Nobel because of Israel, he’ll let Ukraine dangle.
per Wikipedia “The largest U.S. military installation in the Middle East is Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which serves as the forward headquarters for the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and houses approximately 10,000 troops” so why not train there?
Trump has made it obvious in many ways that he has no interest in the security of America or Americans.
Everyone on a ship had roles & training for combat. But mess attendants were not “shoulder to shoulder with trained gunners. Unlike Dorrie Miller’s response at Pearl Harbor, most did not overstep. For a story of “shoulder to shoulder” in the integrated navy, read about the USS Kittyhawk.
Trump wrote off Ukraine in 2016. The GOP had support of Ukraine in their platform. Manafort/Trump made them take it out. While Manafort was an agent of the opposition government.
