Well, what Secretary Noem doesn't know is vast and varied!

Ha! I was going to say you start look like your pets, or you start to look like your spouse!

Sigh. For me, the worst thing about the Trump years has been being forced to realize that so many millions of my fellow Americans are just human garbage. It makes me sad more than anything...

I have to believe the Army did not want to participate in it, though.
comment in response to post
Yeah, I don't think the army wanted to participate in this, huh?
comment in response to post
Hmm, seems the Army didn't want to participate in this, huh?

Well, JD meant it as a compliment!

Catchy t-shirt.

Excellent points, professor. Question: is your textbook on the back shelf understandable for non-economics majors? Or could you recommend a basic economics book for a layman? Thanks for all that you do!

Do they look like a MAGA version of Hamas?
comment in response to post
Umm, that question is rhetorical, right?

All liberals should consider buying some sort of firearm for the future. This is going to get worse before it gets better.

Well, it's been said that this parade is not to display Trump's military might to Beijing and Tehran and Moscow. This parade is to display Trump's military might to Los Angeles and San Francisco and Boston.

Well, at least they're getting their steps in for the next couple of days...

Will a special birthday gift be shooting some protesters in the legs? Make him happy!
comment in response to post
Well, to be fair to the agents, they've been ordered by Stephen Miller that whenever they see an Hispanic man, they must put him in handcuffs, right?

In a few short months, I have learned that everything Secretary Bessent says is factually untrue.

Well, no journalist wants to get thrown out of a 10th story window, do they?

So, I can listen to my tunes while avoiding tear gas while I'm protesting?
comment in response to post
Well, at least it's pretty Christmas colors...

But unfortunately, I can see how this Congress secret police could be used against citizens as well.

My misanthropic side sees no problem with this.

I'm surprised Lily lets you play interrupted. My kitty always walks across my keyboard at the worst moment...
comment in response to post
We need to consider that "unpopular" is no longer important to them. Are they acting like they expect to ever be out of power again? Do they seem worried about facing voters in upcoming elections? What should that tell us about what they have planned for the future?
comment in response to post
So many people's lack of imagination of how bad this can get is distressing...

So somebody either left their lawn sprinklers on too long, or launched a preemptive strike, I can't tell...

We're going to have to de-Nazify ICE when this is all done, aren't

Some have noted that the parade Saturday is not to show Trump's military might to Moscow and Tehran and Beijing. The parade is to show Trump's military might to Los Angeles and San Francisco and Boston.

It is not true that SECDEF's Secret Service code name is "Whiskey River." Do not say that, that would be wrong.

Good to take out sites and equipment. Better to take out scientists and technicians.

Professor, seems like you were pretty good at your job of teaching military officers. I hope all that teaching stuck...
comment in response to post
To be fair, I bet to Sec Noem all Hispanics look alike...
comment in response to post
When troops march in parades, do they have loaded rifles? Do the tanks have active shells in them?
comment in response to post
We have to start considering that "popular" and "helping politically" are not important to them anymore. Aren't they acting like they will never be in the minority or out of the White House again? What should that tell us of what they have planned for the future?
comment in response to post
At the parade, if a protester runs in front of and stands in front of a tank to stop it, do we get a Tiananmen Square?
comment in response to post
To be fair, I assume all Hispanics look the same to Noem...
comment in response to post
At the parade on Saturday, what are the odds the troops give a stiff-arm salute as they pass the president's stand?

Yep, it's gonna get worse before it gets better...

Remember that scene in "The Untouchables," when DiNero is walking a circle around the table of mob bosses, and he grabs a baseball bat, and just beats on one of the mob boss's skull? That's the US Senate now...

Are the GOP acting like they will ever be out of power again?
comment in response to post
Those GOP Senators don't want to stop the Fourth Reich, they want to be a part of it...
comment in response to post
Well, the GOP congress wants to be a part of the new regime...

Yes, all those CA NG folks are Californians. Don't blame them.

Why an "or", not an "and"?
