History, and Politics. Trump's depravity will destroy him.

He explained the action, the reasoning behind it, the context. He didn't boast or say "tremendous" or "fantastic job" or "like we've never seen".

I don't like games much either. But it's a weird quote. If he'd said you could feed the hungry it would sound pious, but it would make sense. But people who own a console don't do it INSTEAD of eating bread or cheese do they?
25.10.2025 09:10 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0A hot mike video of Trump talking to Fox said it all to me. Trump was talking re Kim Jong Un (below). "MY people". MY military. MY White House. He is obsessed with owning and he thinks he owns all of us. He is now clearly acquiring a taste for killing. He's getting worse.

Prince "came out to prove.."? Yes it looked like that.
The R Reagan Foundation may or may not have a legitimate gripe about not having been asked permission. That could have been resolved with a polite discreet note. But Reagan's views on tariffs were not distorted. The RRF thus failed in its one reason for existence. Reagan would be disgusted.

What I like about the original is that Clapton was conscious of being with the Great Ones, and knew that Harrison was kind of pushing the boundaries by inviting him in. And that all got into Clapton's bloodstream, and he put together one of the great guitar parts.
What Prince does is exciting, and very good. But when I see this I think everyone else is paying tribute to a song, to a moment, to an old friend, to a dad. Prince is showing he's better that the others.

24.10.2025 18:26 β π 3 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's such a short speech, and its tone is very clear. Tariffs are to be avoided, except for a short term and for a specific purpose. Tariffs are otherwise very damaging.
I'm not surprised by Trump because he's a lying moron. But the Ronald Reagan Foundation should be ashamed.
I saw that clip. The way he talked to the reporter who asked the question was offensive, disgusting. It's a tragedy we've got used to it. Our sensibilities have been sandpapered into a different shape.

24.10.2025 15:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Well it's a similar situation of course. GOPers see nothing but shame and embarrassment if they attend, so they won't. (For J6 two GOP members broke ranks but..).If they were FORCED to attend, then they will do the usual bomb-throwing and shouting.
But it is better that the DNC tries to play fair.
Would surely be better to do so within the halls of Congress, and with a panel of lawyers moderating (or at least controlling the time for each questioner). And of course with a public and pointed invitation to ALL of the House Judiciary Committee to take part.
