I know he's a clown, but... wow they let him get away with everything. they -> media, people around him

and yes, the German army tried to take my Dad's father more than once.

If Trump's dad WERE born in Germany, a) he would have been alive during WW2 at prime soldiering age, how would that have gone? b) he would have seen him be naturalized in the US and feel differently about being American

src: me, at 53, has ACTUAL dad (86) who grew up under German occupation.

tomorrow it barely gets above freezing, and will snow. Friday night, 32F Saturday daytime 52F.

after that it doesn't look to go into freezing at night for a while.

my red maple closest to the house, I think it will be the first to warm up because it is more out in the open, and gets good sunlight. its buds are dormant. I am going to be using it as my guiding tree.

I wonder if I picked the wrong year to learn how to do this.

the good news, tho. I stuffed the almost 4 gallons I do have in a snowbank for now.
and, 4 gallons is enough to at least claim a small victory - like that will be *one* container of syrup.

if I get more, fantastic.

I have been furiously trying to predict what will happen with my tapped maples this week as we whipsaw from 10 F at night (right now) to mid 60s later in this week. holy weird weather.

Still not a peep on the things Mamdani can do for trans youth after hospital closures.

No activation of H+H to take patients. Trans patients are a rounding error for the $10B program.

No movement on human rights complaints.

No promise to restore care.

Rarely have I been so disappointed.

Sure! what kind of questions are you looking for? [see, there is one]

I cannot stress enough the extreme danger of social media platforms, especially Twitter and YouTube, continuing to generate and spread misinformation.

There are more and more data every day showing that this is an existential threat to everything ranging from elections to health.

Neither of them want democracy in their own countries.

It is one thing not to evacuate Americans and embassy staff from across the Middle East before attacking Iran, it is quite another to STILL not have done so days later.

And fwiw, every and all Americans abroad should get home asap.

exactly.
trump is totally fine with anyone else's lives lost.
we (or they) are pawns to him
inconsequential
a burden even

I had not seen this, and did a quick google for back story. Real.

The "peace" president.

Well done, you ignorant fucking assholes.👍

yikes

don't even know who she is. however it's clear she is a terrible person.

I'm old enough to do I've lived in a time where if I read something like this, I would think it's one of the best to ever come out of The Onion. I'm still having a hard time believing it's true. Really?

when it's "always israel" and never iran, russia, or this administration, that's all I gotta know.

yeah we have been in w w 3 for a while, regardless. it's just getting worse. my opinion.

A lot of these Kuwait sites are logistics operations. I spent weeks going between this port and Arifjan at the end of my Iraq tour, getting our shit ready to send home on a boat. There aren't many hardened structures - I lived in a tent most of the time, and I doubt things are much better now.

The U.S. Released the Epstein Files. The Arrests Are Overseas.

This article should have made the basic point that other countries are governed by the rule of law. It’s not about “eagerness” to prosecute and it’s not a puzzle. It’s a marker of a deep US problem.

5/9. This is unsurprising. The Russians and the Chinese also try to prop up Trump. Everyone outside the US knows that he weakens the US.

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

that makes 2 of us. if the source is "Iran says"
I can make up all kinds of things too.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing. One official keeps saying acronym for “IAEA” wrong. They seem astonished Iran would not agree to the US supplying them nuclear fuel Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h They took as suspicious proposals that Iran saw as concessionary. Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h Explains why Oman FM tried to come to DC to explain what US negotiators may not have fully understood Laura Rozen @lrozen Am not saying what Iran proposed would have been enough, I dont know, but it seems US negotiators did not have the expert guidance to understand it correctly

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

I know, but I am done with the world ruled by men. So I am going to be asking this question a lot.

where are the women?
