Trump’s White House ballroom is too big, architect says, as 2nd panel prepares to vote on it
Actually I am not against the creation of a White House ballroom. It really is something that was long needed. But, as always, the egomaniac has screwed it up.
The White House has always presented a more modest environment, as befits a democracy, as opposed to the opulence of royalty. Trump does not understand that.
So now Israel tells us what to do. Just so you know, all indications were that Iran was ready to make a deal with the U.S. on Friday. Well this will distract from the Epstein files, right?
Because I’m tired.
I try to stay positive about the world, but it really is very hard. Today we bombed Iran. Really? As Trump desperately looks for anything that will distract people from the Epstein files. Dear God. I have friends and family who voted for this man. I saw this man break the law MULTIPLE TIMES! On January 6th 2021, on both of his “perfect” phone calls. The first, to Zelenskyy to try and pressure him in to making it look like there was an investigation into his Democratic opponent, the second to the Georgia head of elections requesting he “find” him 11,000 additional votes. That was with my own eyes and ears. He was convicted of multiple felonies, he has been charged with fraud three times and only got out of the first two times by using his money and connections. He has been accused of sexual assault DOZENS of times! He has made weird and inappropriate remarks on camera and/or microphone about women (even his own daughter) many times! He was sued over 7,300 times BEFORE he first ran for president. He cheated on all three of his wives and paid hush money to do it, and people support him? Religious (supposedly) people no less.
This is all about stupidity. The inability of people to let go of a belief when it is proven wrong. This is what all the tragic moments in history start with, stupidity.
Hegseth says Pentagon canceling troops’ attendance at top universities
So now we don’t want our top officers to attend Harvard or Columbia, or Georgetown or Yale or Brown because they may be exposed to “harmful” ideas, like, you know, Philosophy, Ethics and Logic. What the f**k?
On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, Stanislav Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system when the system reported that a missile had been launched from the United States, followed by up to four more. Petrov correctly judged the reports to be a false alarm.
His subsequent decision to disobey orders, against Soviet military protocol, is credited with having prevented an erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and its NATO allies that would have likely resulted in a large-scale nuclear war. An investigation later confirmed that the Soviet satellite warning system had indeed malfunctioned. Because his decision may have averted a retaliatory nuclear strike, Petrov is often credited as having “saved the world”
-from Wikipedia
He reasoned, “The Americans would not attack with five missiles, it would be a hundred,” Petrov was the only duty officer on staff who had been educated in civilian schools and not a military academy. All the other officers admitted they would have followed orders and reported the attack.
Stupidity reigns supreme
Archaeologists Found a 5,000-Year-Old Fortress That Nature Had Hidden for Centuries
NOTE, the image is NOT the structure (nice going PM). Here is a link to rather underwhelming the LiDAR image
Okay, the “y’all” shows she’s (hopefully) from the south of the Mason/Dixon line, and let’s be honest, not the country’s best educational region. But she has a valid point. I personally watched the disintegration of student ability at a high school level for 25 years. In 2003 I had an amazing robotics team and an amazing rocketry team both involved in national competitions. By 2018 I had no students in the school who could reasonable be involved in either contest. They simply had no abilities to use tools and no computer skills (other than typing, that, they could do very well).
If you know, then you know.
Acclaimed ‘M*A*S*H,’ ‘Harold and Maude’ actor dies at 77
“Harold and Maude” is one of my all-time favorite movies.
Amazon’s tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts
45% increase in profits, 86% decrease in taxes, and all it cost was a over-priced documentary contract and a few contributions. I wonder if Trump calls his new Amazonian f(r)iend “New Jeff”.
She was a funny lady, but she was also a pretty great person. Oh, to have such a eulogy from a friend.
And we wonder why Italy doesn’t want these geniuses “helping” with security at the Winter Olympics.
…let alone seven. I tried to watch it, I really did. I wanted to like it. I like Guillermo del Toro. But, I’m sorry, it was a very silly movie. It was campier than Alan Cumming in a skirt. The costumes were ridiculous, the acting was hammy at best, especially Oscar Isaac who must have felt his job was to chew up every piece of scenery in the film. Speaking of scenery, that was silly too. From a laboratory that could not have been built in the time in which the movie was set, let alone long before it, since it was abandoned. That’s right, a seven story tall concrete and stone industrial building with massive amounts of ceramic time was so long abandoned that a veritable forest was growing on its walls. In early 1800’s England. How about an open air book market during a rain storm where the books are left out in the rain. Apparently del Toro doesn’t know that at that time it would be like leaving Playstations and Xboxes in the rain today.
Ah well. Hollywood has never been stocked with folks who know how to make a good film. That’s why so few of them are. I just hope it loses on everything. Especially costumes.
you forgot who Trump and his supporters are…
“Trump is the first president not to issue an official proclamation recognizing Martin Luther King Jr. Day since Reagan made it a holiday.”
Donald Trump doesn’t acknowledge Martin Luther King, Jr. Day
As I have long predicted. The corruption of U.S. leaders like Trump by the international oil companies has only allowed China to pass us on green technologies. While our country turns into a polluted wasteland and climate change becomes more “our” problem, China seizes the day.
Trump wants to own Venezuela’s oil, but its largest oil customer is speeding toward clean energy
So well done.
Presidential pardons have been abused before, but not on a scale like this…
Trump declares fentanyl a weapon of mass destruction
At least Trump’s business buddies will profit. That’s something, right?
Yesterday Rob Reiner the famed actor, director, writer and producer was murdered along with his wife in their home. Sadly, it appears that his son Nick may have been the assailant. Here is what our esteemed leader decided to write on his “Truth Social” platform…
“Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS, He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before.”
What an asshat of an individual. Just remember a lot of people consider him their leader.
Antifa is a loose association of groups who are “Anti-Fascist”. Which is a good thing, since fascism is a type of government like the Nazis had. Really it is a bunch of very liberal Art majors who aren’t a threat to anybody. They show up when Nazis or the KKK are having rallies to show some resistance to those groups. So does that mean that Trump and his supporters are “Pro-Fascist”? Yes, yes it does. As we have seen, Trump does tick all the boxes on a definition of fascist.
Why Does Trump Get Called a Fascist?
