The Shallow State

All through the Biden presidency, the Strait of Hormuz remained open.

Here's an image with the full title, and if you want to read more, or even possibly get involved, here's a link.

Much more soon. Thanks.

I haven't spoken much about it yet, but we're making UNFIT TOO, to be released BEFORE the midterms. It will be shown FREE and owned by resistors. We won't show it on any platform that bent the knee to Trump. Of course, we know we'll be targeted, but no f*cking way we're sitting this one out. (more)

He didn't think about the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. He didn't think about markets. He didn't think about the massive cost to Americans. He didn’t think about how it would benefit Russia.
Because he doesn't think. He feels. He craves.
He has very few thoughts. He has lots of impulses.

Look at him! A mental buffoon, a physical mess, emotionally erratic, false, untrustworthy, reckless, feckless, boorish, ignorant, greedy, desperate for grandiosity, protective of his secrets and lies above all else, globally disrespected, and reviled.

It's incredible how the Iran War, which principals are Israel, Iran and the US, has somehow morphed into being a colossally beneficial conflict ... to Russia.
I don't think there's anything in this world that I'd want to know more than precisely what Putin has on Trump.

Charles Ponzi, Benedict Arnold, Henry VIII, Idi Amin, Kim Jong Un and his dad, the 1919 White Sox, Bernie Madoff, Rosie Ruiz, Milli Vanilli and every used car salesman are significantly more honest transparent and credible than any member of the Trump cabinet.
It's not a cabinet. It's a junk drawer.

Now that Hegseth has clearly explained that the Strait of Hormuz IS open for transit and that the ONLY risk in navigating a vessel through it, is that Iran will barrage that vessel with missiles, I await Hegseth's next clarifying explanation with bated breath.

I understand the Epstein Estate was compensating victims from a fund, they compensated multiple victims, and that the purpose of it was to ward off expensive potential litigation. But it also was accompanied by measures designed to induce silence. My point is simply that it should be a bigger story.

The fact that the Epstein Estate ACTUALLY PAID a settlement to one of the women who alleged that Donald Trump raped her as a minor, and it was paid AFTER Epstein died, as told under oath by Epstein's longtime accountant, should be a more significant story.

Except there are two primary issues with the Act other than voter suppression. One is voter rolls being sent from the states to the feds, and the biggie is to create massive chaos at the polls on the day of the election, allowing Trump to declare an emergency of some sort with consequence.

In fairness to Trump, Hegseth, and Rubio, it was UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE to predict that Iran would block the Strait of Hormuz causing financial devastation to the world's economy after we assassinated their leadership, insulted and threatened them incessantly, and bombed them relentlessly.

So - we elect a President based upon promises of America First and no wars, and this President starts a war with a country that poses no direct threat to us, refuses to say why or why now, with no plan to protect the world's oil supply that this country can upheave due to geography?
My brain hurts.

I was making a point.

There are 1,374,967,032 more people in the world that hate America today than there were 11 days ago.

100% he couldn't have properly used that word on his own!

Good plan, sir! That'll get the job done!

It's important for us to always remember that besides being a narcissist, sociopath, grifter, rapist, traitor, and serial criminal, he's also an idiot.

I just want to extend a hearty F*CK YOU to all the GOP elected officials who know better for choosing to look the other way on Trump's peculiarly suspicious relationship with Russia (more specifically, Putin) - which is now putting our troops in harm's way.

The two things that resonated with me the most during Trump's presser today, are:

1. We do not want mutilization of our children.
2. The people we blew up are now walking around with no legs.

I think the bill addresses younger students, specifically public schools, not colleges or universities.

(2/2) This is significant in that it counters the rewriting of history which authoritarians like Trump love. Schools in Virginia will have to describe Jan 6 as a violent attack for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 election.

Way to go, Virginia. More states should do this!

(1/2) In case you missed it, it's very much worth noting that days ago, Virginia passed a bill banning schools from teaching that Jan 6 was peaceful, or that the 2020 election was stolen.

The bill passed mostly on party-line votes, and Gov. Spanberger is expected to sign it.

I sure wish Bluesky increased the character count for posts.

Good photo. :)

Good morning. The sky is clear. My dog is a good boy.
Markets are down. Oil prices are up. The Strait of Hormuz is idle. Iran chose the Ayatollah's son as leader, defying Trump. A 7th American is dead. Graham's a joke. The Save ACT is NOT Voter ID, it's planned chaos.

Where's my tariff refund?

I'd like to humbly propose that Trump finance this war personally, preferably with Kushner and Witkoff. For my part, I would even be willing to forego 10% of my tariff refund if he did.

Copper will have his dinner a half hour later than usual today; but to him, it'll feel like a half hour earlier than usual.

Prediction: He will not complain.

I haven't seen a single person wearing a MAGA hat in over a month. Not even one.

I just heard Maj Gen Paul Eaton on MSNOW and in a 2-minute span, he said: Trump was malignant narcissist; Trump has developed dementia; many soldiers see him as a King without clothes; problem is, many wonder who is loyal to the Constitution and who to him.

I thought I was listening to me. :)

Maybe it's just me, but I believe if you're smart enough to recognize that you're someone who needs to join a personality cult for self-actualization, you should also be smart enough to choose a leader who hasn't punched a 13-yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her.
