Where did we go wrong . .

“This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.”
― T.S. Eliot

Hitchens' razor: That which can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.
If you can't proudly talk about what you do for a living to stranger - that's a hint you are on the wrong side of history.

Not liking where this is going. DJT/ICE gestapo recruiting. Regular military command semi-decapitated by displacements and retirements. Threats to delegitimize/cancel/deny the midterms. Long-term goal to extend senile DJT term. If push comes to shove will the military defend the constitution. . .

Yep. I'm reasonably politically literate and had barely heard of him and his devotees until he got martyred by the far right.

It made me queasy that you put Pope Francis and Kirk in the same sentence.

". . . Putin’s forces, short of vehicles, are using donkeys to take ammunition and supplies to troops on the front line . . ."

And beside, you can't eat a damaged truck . . .

Basically, I say, if your life isn't turning out the way you think it should, take off those fkn mirrored sunglasses and take long hard look in the mirror.

They misspelled 'dating'.

Sorry not sorry - this brings me back to my 'you need to pass a civics exam to register to vote' argument. I'm sick and tired of the deliberately uneducated ruling the world.

DJT does the double handed dong diddle.

Caldwell picks on the way he waves? I had to find the vid clip to see WTF caldwell is fixated on. Pretty obvious that Zohran is greeting an individual or cluster in the crowd in a familiar way. Caldwell membership in ORWM (old racist white men) seems secure as ignores substance, goes cheap shot.

Yep. A lot has been said about DJT's apparent racism, but I'm not convinced it is as simple as that. Certainly skin/culture/nationality are judgement points for him, but at his core its class awareness that drives him. Silver spooned son of wealth acquired by nefarious means left him off the A-list.

He is so insulated now, so diminished, and so surrounded by yes muppets, that the spiral of his situational awareness has constricted to nearly a point, centered on only those topics which he feels glorify his demented narcissistic presentation of self. Nero was a saner madman. Bread and circuses.

Ha! DJT thinks he has actual friends - the delusions know no end . . .

Not to mention cold to the touch - sitting there for a couple of hours in a suit coat might not bother you, but if you've bare forearms that marble is gonna get chilly and hard after a while.

It is not a 'deal' you wanker, it is a proud people in their own country - and you are selling them down the river.

President Zelenskyy trying to save his country and people from being subjugated and returned to circumstances little better than serfdom under Russian rule - while, in dealing with Trump and Putin, having to negotiate and manage the process dealing with the two most duplicitous creatures on earth.

The place was built in memoriam, you know, honoring someone who has passed on from this mortal coil? DJT may be brain dead, but as long as he can still fog a mirror then all I can think is he knows that his days are numbered and is trying to get ahead of the curve. Bedminster NJ is waiting.

The NY Post is a rag of the worst sort. Trolling in print. It is only suitable for wrapping fish and the bottom of bird cages. I'd say you could read for humor but it is so low-brow, cynical, and intentionally mean spirited that you'd have mental problems to relate.
