Politics, world events, culture, and, every once in a while, something gratuitously silly. Good discussions accepted. Not looking for online pals. Lastly, I Will NOT chat (DM / PM), unless I otherwise know you.

Imagine golfing during the early days of a war you started.

A direct health and environmental disaster for the millions in and around Tehran, an indirect but genuine one for the planet.

It means they will screw it up in a bunch of different ways,
and because Republican billionaires are rats the process
is called "rat fucking".

Not here, but generally, there is far too much denial about the state of government. This makes it easy to go about, day to day, as we normally would. We need to stop referring to him as President Trump. He is, in fact, Dictator-President Trump.

We need to call him that. We all need to own it.

Market up? Prior to today’s (3/4) close, the S&P 500 was up 0.31% for the year. Carry that figure to year-end, the gain is around 2.0%. (Something to stand on a chair and shout about, Ms Bondi?)

War is good for Business. It’s also NOT a war (or, so we are told). Beware the Ides of March, Julius.

All that could be true, except the "not a war" part.

Lies have become the bedrock of Republican political culture.
They say it, overwhelmingly chances are, it's a lie.
So. here we are, living in something resembling 1984.

They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isn’t a war because it’s preemptively defensive.

Will it happen when Trump pulls the election rug out from underneath us, as he most certainly will?
I half expect we will be too numb by then to react in mass.

Understand, that while it may seem at times that we are
getting use to this, we are NOT balanced on the edge.
We have begun our fall down into the abyss. To pull us
back will require one hell of an effort.
(But, don't worry; elections are coming.)

Nikki, How can you possibly think Iran's government is good?

So, this isn't undermining employment security for Americans?

So, this isn't creating a crazy-quilt of unsteady debt as AI companies race to compete with each other and create a dangerous over capacity?

Now we have to tell people scrubbing Trump info happened.
We should have been tell people to watch for it.
They say you can't predict the future, but this one was as
obvious as all hell.

I'm reading today's posts.
I guess you all don't care that much about the
impending loss of CNN. This is a big thing.

Ho hum.

The post certainly seems to be directed at Van Hollen and his rejection of a war with Iran. In that respect, the post simply isn't put together in a way that makes sense. If he is so pro-Israel, why not quote him on something regarding Van Hollen's questionable support for Israel?

25.02.2026 17:08 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

So, that means if Van Hollen comes out in favor of peace instead of war with Iran we should be skeptical?

Of what?

Of course, they are propping him up.

Any half-way responsible congress would have booted him by now. But, there's no threat of that, not even to keep him in line with the law. Congress does nothing that way. Indeed, they are the ones being disciplined to keep to his line.

Market up? As of yesterday's close (2/24), The S&P 500 was up
0.46% for the year. If you carry that performance through
2026 at the year's end there would be a gain of somewhere between 5.5% an 6.0%.

Not exactly something to stand on a chair and cheer about.

The behavior of Kash does not both me. It was simply one more confirmation of his buffoonery. What does bother me, who left him in the locker room to join the celebration?

Where talking about Minneapolis President Obama talked about the extraordinary bravery of ordinary people. We (blusky) are only a virtual community, so we will not be called upon, as such. But, as individuals we should understand, if it comes to us, we should do no less.

Trump would love a law like this. The man in charge gets to determine what the truth is.

Rebel's post is BS. Talarico is STRONGLY in favor of Church State separation. Also, in favor of the choice not to worship at all. His message was loud & clear in all of his recent media appearances. Crockett can carry the banner. But, win in Texas?
Gimme a break!
