Wonder what kind of scandal the GOP would have created if Presidents Carter, Clinton, or Obama had a four year old at a press conference, much less someone else doing all of the talking?

In France it is referred to "L'Administration Trusk" (Trusk Administration). The French have a great way with words! www.npr.org/2025/02/11/n...

Saw the launch of the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket tonight as I was getting out of yoga in Page, Arizona. Never seen anything like this. Truly impressive!

I don't think a writer could come up with a more sinister plot for a novel than what we are experiencing today. Oh wait! George Orwell and Aldous Huxley got awfully close!

Kinda feels like the beginning of a chess match, when the players are setting up their pieces. One side has already started making moves and the other side is still setting up their pieces.

My dad was a consultant at USAID in the late 1960s. I spent part of my life overseas and have fond memories. To see that this program is being destroyed is truly sad and hits my heart. My dad helped the local people, teaching them how to grow crops more successfully in a desert climate.

Putain succeeded in destroying the United States without firing a shot. He successfully imposed 'Regime Change'. Even the Soviet Union was unsuccessful. If you think I'm making this up, check out www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli... It came out in 2017.

"War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength." Money is God. ** Lies are Truth. ** “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” ― George Orwell, 1984 ** Not part of the original quote but seems to fit anyway.

Remember when a president was impeached for receiving a blowjob in the Oval Office? Now we have this guy and the same party that impeached President Clinton ignoring far worse moral and ethical failures to push this man to lead our armed forces??? GOP/MAGA hypocrisy knows no bounds!
