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”

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
