If you can't see the road surface because of floodwater you have to assume that the water is deep enough to float your car away. I almost learned this the hard way.
Babylon 5's Earth Force Academy was far more serious. Here is Bruce Boxleitner as Captain John Sheridan telling Acting Security Chief Zack Allan what he learned at Earth Force Academy about "ancient history" (20th century, World War II): www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVrn...

@stephruhle.bsky.social Today in Minneapolis, Vice President Vance said that state and local officials should meet ICE "halfway". When I was in grade school my mother told me to meet bullies at school "half way". It didn't work. It only encouraged the bullies.

That same day I woke up with a bruise on my own left hand, but that's because I am an aging Boomer who has been clinically dead for the past 20 years.
That’s a weird way to say “blew out all the veins on his right hand so now he has to use the left for the injections that we refuse to admit he’s getting”

@straczynski.bsky.social Trump is going to come up with a Board of Truth next. I always thought that it was interesting that President Clark in the B5 world was the first autocrat to seize world power. I guess Trump saw that and thought, "Hey, that could be me."
Susie Wiles and the white nationalist fascist gang in the White House are really doing a con job number on the world.

Trump’s "Board of Peace" logo is basically the UN logo, except dipped in gold and edited so the world only includes America.

Dear Congress: Wake the F up!

Herculean efforts by Rex Tillerson, Mike Pompeo, John Kelly, and many others in the first Trump Administration.
A lot of Voters did not believe Trump would do all the bad stuff he promised he was going to because he didn’t do it the first time. Well, he’s doing it this time.

Middle aged white people can be like the wizards of Middle Earth: subtle and quick to anger.
If an auditorium full of middle aged white people in Hickory NC exploded into sustained applause because an author criticized ICE then the Dems need to get on board

The important question: Did Lily get a taste of that steak?
Hey, back in the 80s I used to buy a Romanian Cabernet called “Premyat” for three bucks a bottle at Safeway and it was fantastic.
You fancy people should try a Winking Owl Shiraz from Aldi's...$3.99.

ICE is offering student loan repayment and forgiveness options for their recruits. So there's that, too.
The equation is simple: you can’t afford healthcare anymore because ICE agents are making 6-figure salaries and $50k signing bonuses. The money is not marked for life, liberty or happiness. It is set aside for state suppression.

The Swiss both speak German AND were a non-combatant nation in WWII.
Trump in Davos, Switzerland:

"Without us, right now you'd all be speaking German".

German is the main language of Switzerland.

What do you want to bet that the prices corporations charge won't go down but will remain at least as high as they are?
It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

Those Icelanders and their damned jokulhlaups.
Trump is now confusing Greenland and Iceland: "They're not there for us on Iceland, that I can tell you. Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland. So Iceland has already cost us a lot of money."

Remembering back when another American president disavowed territorial conquest. "The United States of America doesn’t want an acre of territory," Nixon told a youth group back in 1971. @ffrommer.bsky.social thedispatch.com/article/nixo...
Lessons From Nixon on the Use of American Power
Throughout the Cold War, the U.S. showed force to advance interests, not take over land.

Trump meant to say, "Arglebarble". The Sultan is safe.
🚨BREAKING 🚨 Trump has announced at Davos that he "intends to rule Agrabah". Sultan unavailable for comment.

Did Trump force underage girls on Epstein Island to call him "daddy"? I'm asking, not saying.
"They called me 'daddy' right last time, [a] very smart man said he’s our daddy. He’s running it."

Trump renews his demand for Greenland  and makes a reference to being called "daddy" as a sign of his supremacy at NATO.

He should have just deplaned and returned to the White House last night.
Until today, Helsinki was our worst moment in public diplomacy, but this is the new Hall of Famer
At this point, has America ever had a more embarrassing moment on the global stage in our history? I certainly can’t think of one.
January 21, 2026 at 3:22 PM
Wasn't the only time NATO came to the defense of a member country under Article 5 on behalf of the United States after 9/11? Also... Trump lied when he told Davos attendees that he did away with income tax on social security benefits. They are still taxed by the IRS.
Trump on NATO: "We never ask for anything, and we never got anything. We probably won't get anything unless I decide to use excessive strength and force, where we would be frankly unstoppable. But I won't do that. Okay?"

I don't even want to know who has rubbed Trump the wrong way.
January 21, 2026 at 3:18 PM
He's speaking in Switzerland. Doesn't he know that?
"She just rubbed me the wrong way" -- Trump is now rambling about the Swiss head of state, whose name and title he does not know
January 21, 2026 at 2:43 PM
If Trump won in 2020 his second and last term began at noon on January 20, 2021, and ended at noon on January 20, 2025. It doesn't matter that he didn't serve. But he would be disqualified from having been elected president in 2024.
Trump in Davos: "It's a war that should have never started and it wouldn't have started if they 2020 US presidential election weren't rigged. It was a rigged election. Everybody now knows that. They found out. People will soon be prosecuted for what they did. That's probably breaking news."

That's SO 20th century! Then will you file your report by telegram?
I’m inside the SCOTUS pressroom now. In just a bit, we will begin to be escorted into the courtroom to be seated.

The rules: once you’re inside the courtroom, you cannot use electronic equipment so I'll be armed with pen & paper and will report to you AFTER arguments!

I felt the same way when I saw the first two oil rigs that went in off the beach in Matagorda, Texas. Energy isn't pretty.
Trump hates wind turbines because almost two decades ago he found out that an offshore one was planned near a golf course he was building. That's it. But that kicked off a hatred that has lingered and been backfilled with other rationales.

I stopped listening to Trump's Davos speech when he repeated his lie that he had ended taxes on social security. He hasn't The bill he signed last summer changed the tax rate on social security. A lot of seniors are about to find that out the hard way when they file their 2025 personal income tax.
the room is so silent for Trump's lie-fest in Davos that you could hear someone fart

I wonder how Stephen Miller feels about the Vances potentially becoming the first biracial First Couple.
"Usha Vance announced on social media Tuesday that she and Vice President JD Vance are expecting their fourth child" and no this is not a desperate attempt to keep her husband from deporting her to marry that white trash widow.
