“Kumbaya” is a pretty bad folk song but it does not deserve the abuse it’s taken.
We’re going to war with Venezuela for the same reasons we went to war with Iraq. Oil, the president is legit a bad man, and handwaving about terrorism. We risk the same outcome.
A main argument of Trump’s 2015 Presidential campaign, which helped get him elected, that the Iraq war was a stupid, bipartisan blunder. And he was right! It left us with a mess that we didn’t clean up for nearly 20 years. We’re still paying hundreds of billions of dollars per year for that fiasco. And yet Trump, the stupidest and most incompetent man who ever occupied the White House, says, “That was great! Let’s do it again!”
I continued reading “Lord of the Rings” last night. Frodo and his hobbit scooby-gang have left Bree. We’re getting a lot more description of landscape and also talk of the Black Riders. That name did not age well. Strider recited an interminably long poem about an elf woman and human man who fell in love. She was immortal and she died. I think. I didn’t follow what I was reading too well; I was falling asleep by then. I started thinking that Carl Hiaasen had a new book out a few months ago and I would really like to read that. Then I decided to call it a night on LoTR and read something else, but I was too tired for that so we just watched a little TV and went to bed.
Karoline Leavitt says Trump calling a woman reporter “piggy” is an example of him being “respectful” and journalists should appreciate that.
I’m sure that she and her boss, the sexual predator, pedophile and convicted criminal Donald J. Trump, will find it respectful when I say that they’re despicable idiots and that they will appreciate it.
I recently resolved to stop keeping empty boxes and to throw out the empty boxes that I already have.
But today I received shoes from Zappos — a box inside a box — and those boxes are too good to throw out. Sturdy, clean, regular and the perfect size for … something. I’ll figure it out.
Today in America’s rapid decline: Trump is literally threatening death to lawmakers who reminded serving military of their obligation to disobey unlawful orders. These lawmakers are themselves military veterans — Trump had a medical deferrment because, he claims, he had bonespurs.
The CDC changed its website to include lies about alleged vaccine dangers.
And the U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
Amazon Prime is making a new Stargate series! Sweet!
Trump Praises Saudi Prince and Dismisses Question About Killing of Journalist
“You don’t have to embarrass our guest by asking a question like that,” Mr. Trump told the journalist, Mary Bruce of ABC News, later referring to her query as “a horrible, insubordinate, and just a terrible question.”
KBS must have been uncomfortable about Mary Bruce’s question. You know who else was uncomfortable? Jamal Khashoggi, as he was being murdered and dismembered by Saudi agents.
