These three names from American history belong together on the same list:

Benedict Arnold

Jefferson Davis

Donald Trump
A tip of this solid blue hat to Congressman Kevin Kiley, (R-CA).

Rally 'round. We can go purple.

You'll never hear me at any "Trump Kennedy."

The whole Trumpenstein zombie horde is jumping around cheering and waving their vacuous red hypno-hats.

Trumpty-Dumpty. Handing out imaginary money and shouting screeching nonsense.

Headed for a fall, he is. hmmm?

Trumpty-Dumpty: Lie after lie after lie.

New day. Same old BS.

July 4, 2026, we will celebrate the beginning of the American nation. We do not mark, or celebrate the end of the revolutionary war.

250 years later, The American Revolution is not over.

Benjamin Rush was correct, and it remains true to this day.

Benedict Arnold was a turncoat and a tragic figure.

Yet he was ten time the man Humpty-Trumpty will ever be.

Ken Burns "The American Revolution" is a very fine piece of work.

Perhaps his best yet.

It closes with words from Benjamin Rush, apparently written just after the war ended, and quoted below in two parts:

The American war is over, but this is far from being the case with the American Revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government.

Patriots, come forward! Your country demands your services. Hear her proclaiming, in sighs and groans, in her governments, in her finances, in her trade, in her manufactures, in her morals, and in her manners, "The Revolution is not over!"

Riffing on "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," by Gil Scott-Heron:

The revolution will not be trivialized

The revolution can be realized
The revolution does materialize.

The revolution will not be trivialized

Trumplestiltskin is a s***hole president.

His new moniker:

Quack-beard the pirate.

We're told there was no "order" to "kill them all."

Prob'ly true.

Wonder if there maybe was a wink & a nudge, a comment, or even a punchline that effectively communicated Hegseth's (Trump's) wish to "kill them all."

Either way, they're both dead.
December 5, 2025 at 4:42 AM
Both killed.

They could have been rescued, arrested and interrogated. But they were not.

Why not?

Apologies if the last one here, yesterday, turned out a bit too cutesy.

It must've been that last sip of Tennessee whiskey.

A war crime is a grimy, grimy crime.

War Ssecretary ain't worth a blinkin' dime.

This one's way over the line.

Full blame on Trumpenstein.

It's not the fog of war, Pete. It's the fog of defense.

Or maybe it's the fog of brain.
December 3, 2025 at 3:30 AM
Have you noticed how often when Trumplestiltskin is faced with a question, his first words are, "I don't know anything about it." ??

I got news for ya, Trumpenstein: It's your job to know about it.

Starting to look like I'm gonna owe you five bucks on the DC shooter motive.

Maybe not. We'll see.
December 1, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Betcha another five bucks that if you could dig deeply enough into the lfie of DC shooter Rahmanullah Lakanwal, you'd find credible threats against family members in Afghanistan, or another boatload of rubles, or both.

Maybe adding a new alliance structure could be helpful.

Something like COFORSS:

COalition of FORmer Soviet States.

Largely patterned after NATO, and including several NATO members, but a separate entity.
November 28, 2025 at 10:12 PM
Charter members - Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Moldova, maybe Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan.

Germany would qualify too, yes?
November 28, 2025 at 10:11 PM
Membership offered to Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, under specific, required conditions.

A mutual security guarantee tied to benefits and advantages for all.

Prob'ly worth thinkin' about.

US service members swear an oath to the constitution, not to a general or to a president or to any individual.

One of their duties is to refuse to carry out an illegal order.

They take their duties very seriously.

They deserve and are entitled to our full support on this.

The Trumpenstein monster is, in effect, making death threats now.

Won't be happy 'til there's blood in the streets.

Likely he's killed a couple South American fishermen already. Could be murder. ICC should take a close look, even if US is not a signatory state.
