The republicans win but cheating, aided by the republican supreme court justices who are themselves fully and completely corrupted.

I have zero respect for the republican supreme court justices.

At least we have three uncorrupted judges in Kagan, Sotomayor, and Jackson.

How in the hell do you claim that 83 people are enemy combatants when there is no formal congressional declaration of war? No weapons or ordinance were used against the forces present. No heave to announcement. No warning shots were fired. Just kill them all. This is what the U.S. has become

The United States joined 90 other countries at the United Nations on Wednesday to demand Russia "ensure the immediate, safe and unconditional return of all Ukrainian children who have been forcibly transferred or deported" and urge Moscow to stop the practice.

The cabinet meeting was stupid, it was the latest display of racism and
bigotry coming from sleepy Don and his gang. This is just β€œpar for the course”.

The whole lot of them should be thrown out into the wilderness.

Hundreds benefit from Congregational Church of Laconia's Thanksgiving meal service LACONIA β€” Volunteers were busy downtown on Thursday morning, preparing to serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal, takeout-style, to any community member in need of food, no questions asked.

Laconia is in the center of NH’s lakes region. Laconia is famous for a motorcycle gathering every year.

There is a local volunteer group that feeds the hungry on Thanksgiving.

Secretary of War Crimes We need to call this shit out for what it is.

Let me say this plainly: If any other country had done this, we would call it what it is, a war crime. Because that is exactly what it was.

The thing with all of trumps pardons is, the people he’s pardoned are real criminals, they will not stop being criminals in fact they are now embolden to do more crime.
So many of these people will end up back in jail which is their lot.
How many of us will become victims of these guys, again?

I’ve done some coding over the years so I attempted to learn how to code using CUDA, but I realized we will not have to learn how to code Artificial General Intelligence. If it arrives It will be intuitive for anyone to use, like speaking to another human.

I too was very interested in AI, I’ve used several functions and found it was amusing. I did some minor historical research. I use AI to describe pictures for alt text in bluesky with minor editing.
But the current AI is machine learning.

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."

A Maine woman retired early to be a caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.

Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.

This isn’t healthcare, it’s eugenics.

Medicare for all.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

A lone hiker stands on a broad, rocky mountaintop under a low, gray sky. They’re bundled in a tan jacket with the hood up and hold trekking poles, following a crevice across slabs of gray granite streaked with patches of snow and ice. Dark evergreen ridges roll away in the midground, and in the distance a lake and a vast, hazy landscape stretch to the horizon, giving the scene a cold, wind-swept feel. Trail markings are faintly painted on the rock nearby.

One of the most climbed mountain in the world Mount Monadnock in New Hampshire. At the top there is a 360Β° view, just amazing.
Did you know? Mount Monadnock experienced fires in the 1800s, that’s why the mountain's top is bare

The republicans are acting like they are under the influence of a Mind numbing drink. They use our military to kill unarmed people, enjoy the killing and brag about it.
We sure have gone off the rails.

Pentagon Pete in Legal Peril Over β€˜Kill Them All’ Orders A follow-up missile allegedly killed survivors of a U.S. strike on a drug boat.

How low we have sunk as a country. The US Department of Defense is now run by a rabid war criminal.

Ordering the execution of helpless survivors of an attack is ALWAYS a war crime, whether they civilian or military.

Pure, mindless, barbarism.

It has taken this country almost 250 years to be $37 trillion in debt! One man alone responsible for 1/3 of 250 years worth of debt! At the same time making the majority of the country poorer, and him and his family raking in billions!

Babylon 5: Vir at his best Part 1
YouTube video by newtoeugene Babylon 5: Vir at his best Part 1

Babylon 5 is an amazing futuristic series about good verse evil.
Vir was one of my favorite characters. This is Vir facing pure evil and he’s handling it perfectly.
Btw, Vir’s wish comes true in the last season!
