Oh shit. You’re right. So how is it the Fundies are so fond of him when he doesn’t even bother to throw them a bone like that? I forgot he skipped that part. I didn’t watch any of it in real time and wouldn’t read about it until months later.
I would sure like to see that tax-exempt status go away for a lot of those phony churches too. He thinks he can take away exempt status for Universities, but he can no more take that away from them as he can religious institutions, and they know it.
Markwayne managed to get promoted from Village Idiot to Junior Idiot for the State of Oklahoma.
And it was the military that got water fluoridated in the first place. There were so many WWII draftees who had crappy teeth. Adding fluoride to the water was a cheap way to promote dental health – and healthy recruits.
Shared sacrifice? You mean like the American people letting their grandparents die during COVID and calling it “natural causes” to protect Trump’s ratings?
Or the cruise ship martyrs who weren’t permitted to enter a US port in order to keep the reported numbers down.

Recalls a meeting some years back when I heard our HR director rail against all these “silly, liberal regulations”.
We’ve said it here, repeatedly. Will they listen to Alternet? Sadly, that shouldn’t be snark.
Words matter. When the media points out Trump’s “potential conflicts of interest,” as it has in recent days when describing Trump’s growing crypto enterprise, it doesn’t come close to telling the public what’s really going on — unprecedented paybacks and self-dealing by the president of the United States, using his office to make billions.
The correct word is corruption.
I’m guessing we’re heading towards, “No one needs a chicken in every pot. Maybe one, that costs a little more, for the week. With leftovers for a couple of days and then beautiful American cheese and beans. Cheese and beans – what’s more American than that?”
Not fun. Good luck, @darrtown .
Yeah, I always wondered about this selectivity. I mean he doesn’t seem bothered by the lice that live in his hair follicles.
I prefer murderous megalomaniacs.
WW2 Draftees:
Something like half of draftees were declared unfit – 4F.
Then, as the war went on, they took men who might otherwise be 4F and put them in non-combat jobs. I recall a man with diabetes who found himself guarding German POWs in TX. “Limited deployment” meant no infantry, artillery, armor, air corps.
