True, I just do not think anything would have been better under Harris and the Dems. Inflation seems to always skyrocket until an election is near. And any time I am reminded of Biden saying Americans do not mind inflation because it is worth it for Ukraine, it makes me feel a wee bit violent.
Oh, of course not. The Democrats would wheel us to fascist dystopia just as assuredly as the GOP. It's just that the Trump reign with its Project 2025 will do it faster and with greater efficiency and open brutality.
"Almost forgot to retract his fangs" made me laugh. I honestly think a little sprinkle of humour is a godsend in these days of "interesting times", so thanks for that.
Looks to me like Trump just sees the US as a company he now owns, and sees all the other countries in the world as countries he must either own or at least have a seat on the board of directors. Except Israel. I do not think Putin is going to comply. And someone said the Ukraine conflict actually intensifying has more to do with BRICS, for Trump, than any faux worries about people dying. Trump wants America to be greater than, and in charge of, all the other countries.
Wonder if Trump will send anyone to Russia's victory celebration now that Zelensky - IMO with his blessing - has threatened to bomb it. Which is what he threatened.
Looks like RFK Jr is going to tap dance around the mRNA damage.
I believe I will be taking a sabbatical, because things are bad - and I think things would be even worse under Harris and the goober. Also been reading about child trafficking, which, if even only partially true, makes me think that there is too much entrenched evil and thus too much for those folks to lose - to make a dent with mere politics.
Time for trying to meditate or whatever, my next birthday is the huuuge 80, and my thoughts are just as active and roiling around as ever, and it is depressing. As I have posted elsewhere - read Lewis Carrol's The Walrus and the Carpenter. Throughout history, Walruses and Carpenters have run things, the maids with mops are soldiers, and the rest of us are oysters, served up with bread and butter.
You may have a point about Trump. He's a fool if he believes it, for that only allows others to manipulate him, and it appears to be happening.
80, eh? Well then, you have to be around for at least 21 more years to outlast my mom's stint, and she was a tough bitch who made it to 100. I bet you're tougher.
I'm already doing some of the books. I recently read Robert E. Howard's Conan series for the first time, and am working on the Leatherstocking Tales. Tough read due to the 18th Century writing style, but Hawthorne's one hell of a satirist and social commentator. I can see why he was popular.
There is oil in Palestine. It's off the coast of Gaza. One big reason the empire is so horny for ethnic cleansing there. You didn't really think it was about the beaches, did you?
I saw a youtube BBC story about the Israeli wildfires....If anyone had any doubts, comments to the story reveal whose side row is on....Excellent wrap-up.
"Israelis clearly hate conscience and liberty."
Same with too many Americans.
True, but I think there's more of us who don't. The real pushback is just beginning, but it HAS begun.
Let us hope. Some good push back from my governor: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BIjggk-9mO0
I think the empty store shelves and skyrocketing inflation will grab the attention of some within the Orange Cult.

It's just one big duopoly.
I appreciate your optimism, Mr. Barbarian.

Happy big birthday! Whenever it is. 🥳

And as always, I appreciate that.
