Good. I’m sick of all of these idiots wasting goddamned paper asking me if I’m happy with their service. When they fuck up, they’ll know. I’ll make that clear. And I’m sick of all of the idiots wasting paper and money asking me for money. The ones I’m willing to support, I already do. The rest of 'em can fuck off if they can’t learn not to waste the money they’re given.

The old one-handed economist.
“US President Harry Truman (1945-1953) is widely credited with saying “Give me a one-handed economist! All my economists say ‘on the one hand… [and then] on the other.’” The President wanted decisions, not discussions.”

Perhaps “Tornado” is what they should have named their football team that used to have no name that now has a name that was perfectly forgettable.

No, it just means those “imminent” indictments, that were expected for January, August, will now get put off for sometime next year. Trump is not getting indicted.

That’s a nice poem.
I especially like how she links us to Europa via the commonality of water.

Under the right controlled circumstances, Trump would serve as useful compost, alligator feed, industrial wood shredder blade cleaning material…

I don’t think its particularly weird to commemorate our “second revolutionary war” against Britain, especially in Maryland where Baltimore and Fort McHenry are and Key wrote the Star Spangled Banner.

Most confusing when I learned that both Canadians and Americans think they won the War of 1812. Fifth or sixth grade, and my American mother was quizzing me on dates in Canadian history for a test. Much later learned that at the start of war, the US attempted to take over Canada (which was British). The Canadians repelled them, and hence, as far as we’re concerned, we ‘won’. The war carried on until 1815, however, and the US was eventually victorious, ceding none of its territory to the Brits. Hence, the US ‘won’.
There was also an educational philosophy debate because, in Mom’s view, learning history was not about memorizing dates. At age 11, I politely asked her to save that one for another time, because the dates were definitely going to be on the test.

Trump may be a member of the White race under all that make up but I submit that he is no kind of Christian. For a plethora of reasons.

In Kirk Cameron’s Christian themed films he approves the script where he won’t kiss his costar playing the spouse because he considers it to be unfaithful to his wife.

I think it’s more likely that the Moscow drone attacks were launched close to the target by either Russian dissidents or a Ukrainian special forces operation.
The kind of large drone capable of flying that distance from the Ukrainian border would have been picked up on radar. It also would have caused more damage with a heavier payload. The damage shown on buildings appears to be from smaller battery-powered drones, either too small for Moscow air defense to pick up, or launched so close to the targets that there wasn’t time for a response.
