Well, at least we now know the Posse comitatusis Act is a dead letter, like most other laws in the USA. TSF can deploy active duty troops wherever and whenever the thought comes out of his misfiring remaining synapse.

I’m assuming the WSJ has many reporters in the UK that they could send to cover the Trump rampage?

It was daylight and the Midway isn’t exactly inconspicuous - lucky for the drunk he didn’t go the other way, as the other aircraft carriers have somewhat “robust” security.

Or don’t cover him? What would enrage him more, coverage he didn’t like or no coverage at all?

Just as long as the security hits their target! A “near miss” could be in Downtown San Diego!

A wild and wacky thought. Trump is visiting his golf courses. Nothing ‘presidential’ or ‘national security’ or ‘foreign relations’ is scheduled. Why doesn’t the rest of the press pool boycott the trip… just not show up. Maybe he’ll say something he wants to be newsworthy, but the risk of missing anything important is small. His ego will rage, he’ll go berserk. Want to get to Trump… humiliate him, ignore him.

He is going to rage anyhow. Complaining that the R&A is a bunch of bigots who won’t allow The Open to be played on his golf courses. The finest, bestest, mostest fabulous courses in the United Kingdom!

American voters had to make some really tough choices last year.

  1. Adjudicated rapist vs. Talented and qualified woman
  2. Child molester vs. Talented and qualified woman
  3. Coup plotter vs. Talented and qualified woman
  4. Daughter dater vs. Talented and qualified woman
  5. Diaper dumper vs. Talented and qualified woman
  6. Draft dodger vs. Talented and qualified woman
  7. Golden shower John vs. Talented and qualified woman
  8. Grim reaper for the > 1 million Americans dead from COVID vs. Talented and qualified woman
  9. Groper and grabber of kittens vs. Talented and qualified woman

The American voter must be very proud at making a historic choice. America does not have a talented and qualified woman as commander in chief.

Among the 5382 things that DonOLD has messed with so far, I just hope that there’s someone(s) keeping track of the monies DonOLD is moving from any and all places to him. I just feel cheated, and just know that somehow, someway, We the People will be charged to make things whole.

The reporters are serving their corporate overlords (who are servicing the dotard); and probably they have egos and want to be seen on the teevee.

This is also likely to the delight of the National Guard and the wet dreams of the US military to be used against American civilians.

Sooo many Little Eichmanns…

It’s been reported that many California National Guardsmen are either not reenlisting or seeking counseling due to the inner conflict of perhaps seeking conscientious objector status.

Reuters is reporting that the ground war against California is ending. Our brave men and women in uniform are coming home. Is there going to be an armistice and subsequent peace treaty signed in Sacramento? Is there going to be a baby boom, and out-of-wedlock children with one California parent?
