When you’re on the outs even with Bone Saw Guy, it becomes apparent there is really no relationship or deal that you can’t screw up.
The US operation “Project Freedom” launched by President Trump collapsed in less than a day.
Reportedly, Saudi Arabia has suspended overflight rights for US forces at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. A call between Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman did not resolve the issue.
It appears that the Arab states are increasingly getting wary and annoyed of Trump’s rash and uncoordinated steps, clearly marking the lowest point in US power projection in this region since 1930.
I would say the odds of the John Roberts Trump toadies stepping in on the Carroll case are over 50% especially if TRUMP includes a hefty gratuity. 2 mil per justice would be way cheaper than paying off the debt.
I grew up in evangelical culture within a diverse religious culture. (Hawaii–Catholicism. Evangelical Protestants, Mainline Protestants, Buddhists [mainly Pure Land groups, I think], Hinduism. I don’t recall any synagogues, but that doesn’t mean there weren’t any.) Maybe that shaped the teaching, but I doubt it. I recall a few passages that the Secretary of War Crimes might want to meditate on.
There is none righteous–no, not one; no one understands, no one seeks God. All have turned aside, together they have become worthless. (Romans 3:10-12)
He has shown you what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. (Micah 6:8–this verse remains one of my lodestones. Emphasis added.)
Stupid is as stupid does. I’ve seen interviews with this sort of MAGA-ist, and you’re right: they blame Biden for current economic conditions, including gas prices. The only way to fix stupid is with facts and knowledge. But as Upton Sinclair noted, “It is foolish to be convinced without evidence, but it is equally foolish to refuse to be convinced by real evidence.”
Also, there is this gem from Upton Sinclair that says a lot of our current time of troubles:
Fascism is capitalism plus murder.
A deep investigation into leakers would seem to be pretty strong evidence that Ka$h Patel’s denials are about as substantial as a sheet of rice paper in the rain.
There are limits to what bribery can achieve. Saudi Arabia has not bribed Iran, who can bomb/drone them at will if they allow the US to use their airbase and their airspace to fight the blockade. Not to be confused with a sudden outburst of morality on the part of the Saudis.
IMO. most , if not all , religion is ;bad’ for anyone., it is sad to listen to people talk about praying for whatever..which will never come to pass. i asked , in a group, what happens if a person prays for whatever and it nevercomes to pass and why didn’t the prayers get answered…dead silence
Tons of it and gold to boot. Hegseth has given him a special dispensation to take it all with him to the afterlife. Goddess said OK, but it will quickly combust and melt when he gets there.
