Had lunch today with another combat marine and a civvie from the office. Civvie asked what we thought would happen if orange geebuz declared martial law.

Don old has suffered another humiliating defeat to the timy population of Heard and McDonald islands. Respect the penguin!!!

I know I have followers in Germany. I know Germany has strict laws against foreigners meddling in elections. I know Mush spent millions of $$$ trying to buy the election for AfD. If I know these things so should the ICC. Just an idle thought.

I’m repeating myself here, but it’s important. USA is NOT an individual world power. Our influence, wealth, security all rely on relationships with like-minded democratic nations around the world. We get 70% of foreign intel from others. We get most of our wealth from free trade partnerships.

Cory Booker speaks and America listens (finally). Even MAGA is listening, although for other reasons. Sane republicans (all three) have realized that his marathon speech has ignited a movement. Not a Democratic Party, a movement. Others got the message and are finally finding their voices.

As inspiring and impressive as Cory Booker’s performance is today , this is far from the best of him. Take a few moments to reflect. His devotion to his constituents has been on full display for decades and his unwavering commitment to this country is what leaders display. Not just hollow words.

Putin has ordered conscription of another 160000 ruzzian sacrificial vatniks for this year. A 100 day supply. He apparently has not been keeping up with the news

For those who appreciate irony, I have a winter snowbird place in Arizona with a fukton of Canadian neighbors. Most of them opposed Trudeau and thought Trump would be “a great choice”. They’re all selling their Az homes and have gone back to the great white north now bcuz of the trade war shitstorm.

We will find out Tuesday if all the angst translates to action. Or are we just barking at the moon? If uou know anyone in/from Florida or Wisconsin encourage, demand, nag them to vote. This shit matters.

I had clean the corral on my to do for today. But it snowed last night and I read reports on JD in Greenland and Mush bitching about meanies taunting him. So that’s enough horse shit for today. I need coffee.
