Wahhhhhh. Wahhhhhh. Wahhhhhhhh. Jim Jordan please shut up…..
The Obama/Biden (Bush/Cheney) Administration knew it was hoax.
They knew the Trump Campaign (Iranians) didn’t collude with Russia (Weapons of Mass Destruction).
They knew they were wasting taxpayer money (innocent lives).
But they didn’t care.
Ya see….THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE ARE NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE….ever. Years later Assange/WikiLeaks gives us visual/verbal evidence of the SLAUGHTER OF THE INNOCENT and who ends up in prison?
Connect the dots across all the plots. He/She who has the courage to do it will prevail – the time is coming.
@madamski: you are correct, JK would not be rallying the Deplorables as it is unlikely they would be reading his works (books included). He is rallying on behalf of the Deplorables, smacking down those who put them in the basket in the first place. A smackdown well deserved!
Lighting a candle for the caregivers and shepherds of our weak, our handicapped, and our incapacitated.
ALERT: JKunstler in freefall. Consumed by the red swans of his own imagination, he hysterically claims we’re on a roll celebrating Trumps Covid diagnosis. If he really wants to rally the Deplorables, why not give them some sanity with their spittle? Defending the President’s bad behavior by not calling it out (like Trumps debate moment where he mocks Biden for wearing a BIGGLY mask) – is not cool. How much more fun could JK have had taking us down the KARMA road? I mean, how crazy is it that the guy who does a major mask smackdown in the middle of a Presidential debate ends up getting Covid a few days later?
The Assange Revenge Trial….say no more.
Gender Reveal marquee is funny…thanks for the laugh.
Free Julian Assange! Tulsi and Thomas are on board. Let’s support them by contacting our representatives. I always call their “field” offices (not DC) where the staff is more available to engage in conversation.
RE: The Turley LAMENT: I appreciate his efforts to speak up, however by not exploring the ‘How did we get here?’ and ‘Who is responsible’ angles he misses the point (and his piece is another boohoo). Honest discovery would take responsibility for WHO we have become – and WHY. Lamenting the “despicable level of dishonesty that motivates this type of banking of secret recordings” is only promoting endless finger pointing and churn! Where does that get us? CNN and Anderson Cooper are a symptom. The disease is Greed – and how greed envelops and warps all who are exposed.
Greed is the pursuit of self-interest at any cost – above all else.
What outcome do we expect when greed and self-interest are at the core of most everything? Between reality teevee, Twitter + the impact of in real-time media, endless lies/the suppression of truth – we have created an alternative reality live streamed into our consciousness in massive doses.
What do Cohen, Wolkoff, and M. Trump have in common? They all functioned in environments where the pursuit of self-interest was the key core value – and in the end, everyone realized that everyone else was in it for themselves; trust was extinguished. What do people do in those circumstances? They look for ways to protect themselves. When threatened, they fight back creating a negative feedback loop with ripples. Their tell-all books are symptoms of something much more important.
“There is a new sense of an absolute license to engage in any attack or distort any fact for the greater good.” Um, no. This destroy attack/distort strategy has been going on for a very long time; it really ramped up ahead of the 2016 campaign, and we are drowning in its outcomes. Donald Trump, master of mayhem is guilty of implementing destroy/attack/distort strategy. So is the Russia/Russia/Russia gang, the media, both political parties, The Fed, Deep State, the banks, Corporate CEO’s. One more thing…there is no pursuit of the “GREATER GOOD” among those just mentioned. It just doesn’t exist in their reality.
@teri: what gives a blogsite value – in addition to the host’s content – are the contributions from the posters. When folks like you open up and share from your own personal experience it provides meaningful insight while creating/building community. Your post from a few weeks back was heartbreaking. What I appreciate now is your desire to translate your loss into advocacy. You are in the early phases of grieving. Give yourself time. And no regrets friend – the Light is YOU.
@Geppetto – LOVED the Log Crossing video. Thanks for the moment of Zen (hat tip JS)…..and BEARS!!!! (as per Stephen Colbert).
The Corporatist Dems like Biden and Pelosi have never supported the New Green Deal or Medicare for All. The President + team have convinced their base that they did – until last night when Biden blew the cover off the myth. Dan Bongino is acting like this is a revelation, a gotcha moment – BS! The R’s have lost another edge on the Biden claim that he is controlled by the “Radical Left”.
How will the Corporate Dems manage this with the Radical Left? They won’t. And there will be no “walking it back” either. It’s too late to fight about it in public now. Trump’s performance last night is another vivid display of who we have in the White House representing us – and that will be enough to keep everyone together. The new-comer Senate and House Dems are a powerful lot. They will eventually scrape off the barnacles (Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell, Graham) and build the Way forward with Heart = integrity. The coming economic collapse will be the catalyst for something very different. BE PATIENT…a new day will come.
What good are the 150MM rapid tests (coming to the US) without a focused strategy in place to maximize the opportunity and leverage outcomes?
Putin Power! He’s a charmer, yes?
Alert: Kunstler off the deep end. Maybe a big bowl of pea soup or an Adderall would help him?
CEO’s + share buybacks = fiduciary abuse of the highest order. And y’all want another bailout? Let the airlines be subjected to market forces – worldwide/nationwide travel is NEVER coming back. Let them adjust accordingly and take an Adderall.
Ballot harvesting = BAD. I love Tulsi – but the efforts to ban this practice should have been introduced a year ago. It’s lost in the scramble.
Julian Assange is a hero. A Trump pardon of Manning/Snowden/Assange would secure his re-election.
What does collapse feel like? Since this is my first one I can only speak from my experience. It is liberating coming to terms with the integrity breakdown of everything due to the financialization of everything. Once you see the truth of where we are, you can’t quite participate in the same way. It’s not like living in a pea soup fog without Adderall – but rather it is an out of body experience. You come back, you are changed. You reevaluate, recalibrate, refocus and work at BEING HERE for the right reasons. Rethinking your purpose. Understanding that every little thing adds up – every thought word and deed. Being responsible. Taking tangible, practical, meaningful actions to uplift yourself and others in ways large and small. To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a season (turn, turn, turn) And a time to every purpose, under heaven. Take HEART!
@sumac: thank you, for your invitation to use pasture raised lard (hog) in my pie crusts! And yes, I have stopped using sun screen and sun SPF protective clothing – unless I am out on the water or on the trail for several hours during hours of peak sun potency. Full exposure good.
@boogaloo: I would never take zinc regularly, only if cold symptoms present themselves or I get a COVID diagnosis. My go to for smacking down the start of something nasty is nano-silver (nano silver is about more than particle size).I agree that WE should be proactive in our quest to decrease our risk of COVID and am all for home remedies. Wellness is a personal choice. Most of us on that path are proactive and informed.
Imagine governments educating their people directly + giving them the tools to take action (encouraging personal responsibility) vs. relying on restrictions/lockdowns and vaccine hopes? Who would BENEFIT? Who would lose? We all know they would never be allowed to implement such a plan in the USA. If they can’t be WINNERS – they quit. Nice try Ilargi!
Since we can’t rely on them, we need to rely on one another. I am no doctor.
If the “remedy” is to get more Vitamin D, the question is how? I think your recommendations should include the following in this order: 1) getting more exposure to the sun – uncovered, as the weather permits. This would also promote exercise which is good medicine. 2) using a whole food high in Vita D such as cod liver oil (eating more fish is not as effective), and as a last resort, 3) taking Vita D supplements in moderation – as you can take too much and trigger a rise in blood calcium plus other assorted symptoms (not good to have your bones dumping calcium); plus folks would need some guidance on the supplement amount (some say not to exceed 4000IU/day).
Vitamin A and Vitamin D work together, so it is essential to get Vitamin A in the mix. Vitamin C is also an essential. Magnesium too.
Zinc and Vitamin D supplements both tie up bio available copper – the copper is what enables us to properly “exhaust” the lifelong accumulation of iron. The result is “rusting away”/inflammation which manifests various symptoms. That’s why I would never take a synthetic Vitamin D supplement. And I would only reach for the zinc if I got a COVID diagnosis.
My first reaction: the number of Catholics even at 5 seems excessive, and not representative of the religious makeup of America. Should we care? Why?
@Turfkiller: “Turley celebrating Barrett walking through all the doors and barriers to women that Ginsburg and others had opened up only to close them all to the others coming behind her.”
Agree. And so the upcoming interviews and hearings should seek to determine how she interprets the opportunities (values of feminism) won by RBG and others – and how/why they benefited her directly (clearly they did). That opens up potential for understanding what the future holds and how she might respond to it. I am hoping that the D’s will take the high road as there is benefit to an open and honest hearing despite the past (how Obama’s nominee was treated). Amy CB has great potential because: mother of SEVEN.
RE: Incompetence R Us – Reporting that there are NO N95 facilities in my area – surprise. WINNING would have been guaranteed had Trump’s administration implemented simple, responsible, practical solutions: 1) Testing – rapid, reliable testing in mass quantities/accessible to all under any conditions, 2) Protection – supply of N95 masks for all, hygiene kits, immune supplements Vita A and Vita C (hormone D and zinc if you have C19). Implementation of such a plan would have meant admitting that there was a contagious virus on our shores. Denial was the chosen course of action and FAILURE is the result. Good luck in FL – DeSantis is Trump’s caddie.
One more thing on Amy CB – there is an additional point:
4) Her faith (not her Catholic faith specifically)
I think Amy CB has great potential. I look forward to the discovery and confirmation process – and hope that we can do this with dignity. My initial/early reaction is positive based on: 1) She’s female, 2) She’s a mother of SEVEN, and 3) She’s in a younger generation. Let’s see where it goes. The Dems should acknowledge the positives (like my 1-3 above) and address their concerns – do both. Attack mode will be a turn off – and a misuse of the MOMENT.
The abortion debate is always front and center – and that’s a problem in this MOMENT – because things have shifted. EC (Emergency Contraception) has had a major impact on the need for abortion. Abortion rates are falling (and have been falling since EC became available). The goal should be to eliminate the need for abortion – and not eliminate abortion. If I were asking Amy about her beliefs on this subject it would include a question on how she thinks we could eliminate the need for abortions.
“Everyone’s first reaction: They should limit their own terms.”
No, they won’t.
Been thinking about RBG’s “dying wish” and how rare those are. In addition, she made it formal and dictated it bedside with witnesses. She must have known that it would be shared widely, and that it would get push-back from those who would never choose to honor it (let alone admit that she made the statement). Now WHY would she, knowing quite well the law was not in support of waiting for the next Pres to replace her – ask for such a thing?
Two reasons:
1) Term limits. Out of her own personal experience, out of her deep LOVE for her work, she could not let go during Obama, despite being nudged to do so. There was too much left to do. She is proof that relying on the Justice to end their LIFE’S work is not realistic. In dying she lost control of all she tried to protect, she made a case for term limits.
2) RBG calculated the impact that this “fight” would have on firing up the Democratic base, with emphasis on all women and young people. It appears to be working now. Will the momentum continue and show up in the election results?
RBG was a force. Her legacy stands. She cannot be replaced. In trying to do so, we set up a conflict where the focus is on comparing records while we lose sight of current conditions and future potential. Filling her seat with a woman is essential (the court’s gender makeup should mirror the population). I’m looking forward to learning more about Amy Coney Barrett. Not falling for early attempts to divide us. Those who doubt that RBG had a “dying wish” are out of touch; that they can’t focus on the message (like it or not)…what was she trying to accomplish/say with such a wish?
“President Trump should end the US government’s war on Assange…and on all whistleblowers and their publishers.” Agree. Assange/Snowden/Manning pardons going down BEFORE the election (mid-October timeframe) would be the THE biggest game changer of all time. President Trump would need to clearly see the “what’s in it for me?” angle. How about a landslide victory? Remember, the promise of a future pardon will not cut it – it must be the full monty!
Putin: Global Economy Won’t Recover From Pandemic ‘For A Long Time’: Putin is being truthful – for whose benefit? Self-promotion or does he really mean it? His “lack of humanity” in the Covid era pronouncement + end sanctions recommendations/action make sense. Isn’t this the kind of leadership we need?
It’s Ground Hog Day for sure!
Babylon Bee Brilliance for our benefit!
@ RIM: My guess is that gender reveal is a popular fad here in the US, and it is most attractive to young people who post their lives online.
@Madamski: “Gender reveal” is liberal backlash”. Has it really come to that? It seems that gender reveals started out of a desire to generate attention/create an event/attract followers. Party marketers roared into action and a NEW industry was created. WINNING! The waves of non celebrity trend followers (like my 3 nieces, all in their 30’s) jumped in – gender reveal parties are now a regular pre-baby shower event.Anyway, The Babylon Bee author/writer nailed it.
I am not sure how/when/where/why the whole “gender reveal” movement came from. It is real as I have endured several in my own family. Did you know that one of California’s recent “wild” fires was started by fireworks used at a gender reveal party?
Anyway, thanks for the laugh on the SCOTUS reveal.
What’s in it for me? Is the primary force/driver for all that Donald Trump says and does. Will his never-ending lust for undoing everything Obama come back to bite him on the Assange front?
“After she put the link to the interview into the group chat, Ms Fairbanks’ statement says that she received a phone call from Mr Schwartz who was “very angry”: “[Mr Schwartz] repeatedly insisted that I stop advocating for WikiLeaks and Assange, telling me that ‘a pardon isn’t going to f**king happen.’ He knew very specific details about a future prosecution against Assange that were later made public and that only those very close to the situation then would have been aware of.”
@zerosum: Charles High Smith is on fire. Thanks for directing folks to his post today – yesterday’s was perhaps his best yet :https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-bill-for-americas-50-trillion.html?m=0Occupy Wall Street anyone?
When it comes to financial fires – they are all in it together. https://wallstreetonparade.com/2020/09/theres-a-pattern-of-corporate-media-censoring-news-about-wall-street-banks-crimes/
Occupy Wall Street anyone?
Thank you John Day for the focused, reasoned, and relevant piece.
You are here for us – and that comes through in your writing.
Perhaps we should dust off our meditation cushions?
When the Shock Doctrine (Naomi Klein) came out in 2007 my reality was forever expanded. The potential for leveraging Covid for gain is real and dangerous. Are we there yet?
What have we learned in recent months and how can we improve our Covid response? If there is no change in tactics other than resorting to lockdowns/mandates/orders, there will be a revolt. WE have a responsibility to demand better from our elected leadership – and they have a responsibility to deliver more + better.
**********
On RGB’s passing: she was a force for women and a great role model for all. We can’t stop the replacement process…but that does not mean it will end with a confirmation of President Trump’s nominee. How interesting the timing! How will this process change the dynamics of the races in play? I agree that the President will nominate a woman.It’s interesting how folks interpret a mask mandate or mask order as oppression – that seems extreme to me. Aren’t mandates/orders just words when everyone knows that absolute enforcement is not possible? It’s not like they are marching people on to trains and off to camps for not wearing one. Don’t most Americans choose to adopt practical measures, including no mask at all/total resistance, under the circumstances?
I have never felt like our CA officials were ordering me around….hummm. Some of my neighbors see this as loss of freedom. The loss of freedom came from the virus itself – stop blaming the mask.
Since mask wearing has not been a staple in the West, Americans need some time to take in pros/cons and adjust. In my small community most are adopting measures that are practical and sensible. Yesterday, in the absence of fire/smoke, no one was wearing a mask outside. The few who wandered into the Art Gallery were masked up. Most everyone at the local grocery had on a mask.
It doesn’t help that scientific clarity around masks is conflicting. So people will find their Way forward on their own.
When do the people calling for mandates/orders become oppressors? To me that feels like an extreme label for the elected officials who manage our towns/cities. Orders/Mandates became necessary when cases were exploding and those in charge were desperate for a turn around.
Unfortunately, we missed the opportunity for making RECOMMENDATIONS early on – as the whole thing was politically hijacked at the start. Masks = weakness/must deny the potency of Covid vs. Masks = strength/must magnify the potency of Covid. We now seem to have arrived at Masks = act of kindness/must take responsibility/respect for self and others.
“Assange never would or could identify a source. Apart from other considerations, it would be the end of WikiLeaks.”
Yes. The integrity of Julian Assange is on full display here. That he would not sell out….his courage humbles me. The fact that Congressman Rochbacher – with President Trump’s full support – would make this offer is another prime example of the ignorance, arrogance, and moral corruption of this President who will do anything for his own gain. They missed the whole point of WikiLeaks and an opportunity for WINNING. Pardoning Jullian Assange with NO STRINGS ATTACHED would have been “the money shot”.
Hahaha on accordion Trump.
@sumac.carol: when President Trump spoke the words “herd mentality” I realized that he was trying to say TWO things at once – and both were TRUE. It takes herd mentality to achieve herd immunity – and this is what is counting on.
Tucker is trying wayyy too hard! The color revolution coup story started in public with Speaker John Boehner and Senate Leader McConnell who delacred a “war” on enabling the agenda of a newly elected Obama. They both vowed he would be a one term President before he (Obama) even got started. Sound familiar? The RussiaRussia coup is a variation of this.
Dr. D is on fire today (a controlled burn)! Am also on board with CHS, he has roadmapped a logical/practical/tangible/actionable way forward. It is up to us to implement the Way within our own lives/family/neighborhood/community/town/County. Love Dr. D’s humor: “Since this is going to happen, start now and beat the rush.” Haha so true.
“Focus on Value. In your life, in your purchases, but especially in yourself. Value, Values, are eternal, a higher cause, and the rightful place of men. We feel better there and that makes them worthwhile. They are their own reward, beyond how much better they make our lives, our actions, our children, and our countries.”
https://www.oftwominds.com/blogsept20/four-Ds9-20.htmlI could add value to my 4,900 person town/18,000 person County by buying up debt and freeing folks from the burdens of the past. In exchange I would ask for their commitment in giving back to our community by engaging across several fronts – including forest management, in-home care for the elderly, rebuilding/building community infrastructure (a gym/modern community hall in Weaverville, restrooms downtown Weaverville, Hayfork park rehab, Junction City and Hyampom community centers, Vet and senior housing – to name a few). Where do I send the $5?
Your Mother Was A Hamster And Your Father Smelt Of Elderberries!
The study on inequality from the RAND Corporation shines bright light on how unjust the situation is. Whatever comes next will need to be built from the ground up. Thank you for sharing.
Isn’t it obvious we need a new system?
https://charleshughsmith.blogspot.com/2020/09/isnt-it-obvious-we-need-new-system.html?m=0Run Away…Run Away!
@michaelreid:
RE: “Seen an awesome Caribou today and when I say awesome I mean I was in awe.”
Thank you for the report. Good to know that there are still a few healthy creatures on the planet. I look at this year’s deer and my heart breaks. They are thin and their numbers down significantly. It is obvious that our forests are no longer providing the nutrition they need – and then there is the lack of rainfall….and smoke….am in the mountains of Northern CA 4 hours north of San Francisco.
@John day and Mr.House: it doesn’t matter, they are sure they own us. They demand another round of WINNING via bailouts and wild stock market upswings.
“I think the world could be coming up with a new monetary system while we all shelter in place.” There are potentially good things emerging. My friend Charles Hugh Smith (Of To Minds) is on the leading edge with practical, actionable solutions. His new book is a roadmap to helping us connect the dots – and build a future that works for all.
In his own words:
“In this book I connect the dots of my own life experiences to show how a sustainably fair way of organizing human activity would work. In telling my story, I’m also telling our story, because we all share our limited-resources world and the same aspirations for fairness, belonging, getting ahead and a say in our future.
Those of you who read my 2015 book A Radically Beneficial World are already familiar with my proposed alternative system, one that is voluntary and self-organizing: the community labor integrated money economy (CLIME).
This is an arrangement that would actually work for all of us–and our world–because it treats everyone equally and is designed for DeGrowth, i.e. wise, frugal use of our planet’s resources, rather than the current arrangement’s insane goal of endless growth of consumption and inequality (and debt to fund the consumption) on a finite planet.”
@AfromOZ: interesting insight. Julian Assange is a brilliant man, perhaps silence is an intentional tactic that he and his team are implementing?
@Raul Ilargi: The Greenwald interview with TC was an interesting development! I consider Glenn Greenwald to be a true journalist and am forever grateful for his REVELATIONS across the economic, march to war, and corruption fronts – including the Manning and Snowden reporting (a visit to The Intercept_ is a daily ritual). Not sure that TC or FOX has the guts to stay on course to develop this story to its full potential. You suggest an opportunity for co-operation and collaboration between the “sides” over the Assange saga; perhaps Tulsi could bring the other side to the party? President Trump might win over a new segment of supporters + tick off a few enemies with an Assange pardon (why stop there…Snowden and Manning too). Is that enough to motivate the President to act?
@zerosum: a very moving piece. Thank you for sharing. Assuming it is your original creation?
@V.arnold: always appreciate your riff on the art posted here. “A wild ride with no stop signs” captures your experience of this piece, and it is very cool. The artist’s title – Love and Pain sets up the intense contrast in color. The layered, rich blue colors – in the man’s clothing and in the background – create an “aura” as they envelop the couple. The sienna and red orange hair falls in a web-like spray framing the interaction. The couple’s embrace and the shapes it creates – the square “nest” where his head comes to rest, and the woman’s arm being the strongest element and the placement of the lightest white/cream/peach lights. For me the embrace is the focus of this piece. The appearance of sunrise/sunset colors on the left side create an energetic opening. Is Love blue and pain red/sienna or is Love red/sienna and pain blue?
Too bad the vampire WORDS were applied to this piece (by the artist’s friend). With the addition of that framing you go in a whole different direction. Interesting how that works…as we know.
Sad to hear about your dad. By your own description, he was an amazing man. You honor him by telling your story; thank you for sharing. LOVE to you and your family.
Grateful for your comments today. You point out AND make a case for the other side of the days stories – doing it with an authentic but heavy Heart. It makes what you have contributed valuable.
“What I personally find hard to imagine is that there are not more people, on whatever side, who read a very crappy obviously lying anon Atlantic story about Trump hating the military, or comments on a book that all come down to: he deliberately killed 200,000 Americans, and then still not say: that’s enough. If you don’t do that, then which part of what you call your opinion is actually yours?”
THAT’S ENOUGH! What are we using these words to defend? One-sidedness or the facts?
Does the Atlantic story = Trump hates the military? No, that goes too far. Trump says many disrespectful and ugly things (we’ve all heard him) – and so the Atlantic story true as written or not, lines up with the character of the man we call our President. That part is true and not an opinion; why not point that out? If I say “that’s enough” to anon smear pieces will you say the same to Trump’s disrespectful and ugly smears? It would be one-sided to defend Trump as not hating the military while ignoring what he has said in the opposite direction (with emphasis on the last 4 years).
Does the Woodward interview/tapes regarding Trumps early understanding of COVID = Trump killed 200,000. No, that goes too far. What we do know is that our President downplayed the severity of the crisis which gave many an unrealistic view of the risk ahead. Was he motivated to downplay the virus because he truly didn’t want to panic us or because he didn’t want to look bad and risk his reelection chances? Based on the President’s actions to date, most understand that he will keep his own personal interests in the forefront at all times. That part is true and not an opinion. So if I say “that’s enough” to Trump killing 200K will you say the same and call out Trump’s manipulation of the facts for his own gain at the expense of you and me? It would be one-sided to defend Trump for being cautious/not creating a panic without mentioning the dangerous impact of his inaccurate assessments of the disease.
René Magritte The Art of Conversation 1963: A really good conversation will move you in a new direction while taking you to a whole new level – together.
Edgar Degas Dancers in Blue 1895: In case you didn’t find yourself drawn to the center of the dancers circle, the lady in orange made sure you got there. The delicate application of lilac provided additional insurance; the lady in yellow with red-orange hair sealed the deal. Now that you have arrived, you hear them talking softly. The ladies in Blue form a flower-like cluster, their wispy skirts fluffed to perfection. The background surfaces in full impressionistic expression fade into the moment or does the moment fade into them? Only the tree knows for sure.
Pablo Picasso The Dream 1932: I love how the rounded shapes fit together, very feminine in their expression. Then there is a play of opposites, seen in the face, shoulders, breasts, arms, and in the garment. The use of such unique colors is a wonder all its own. The drama that is the orange and yellow chair and the printed tapestry. The folded hands resting firmly on the womb. Her half face in an unusual shape. What is she dreaming about?
Julian Assange is a hero. His destiny is our destiny.
Unfulfilled DESIRE, and the quest to fulfill it at any cost will always result in corruption.
Oh now it all makes sense Scott Adams! We have a comedian running the country – it doesn’t matter what he says EVER – because it’s all a joke.
Vindman as THE whistleblower is a logical conclusion. His testimony was significant, in that he reported on what he perceived as an inappropriate and disturbing policy negotiation on the part of the President. Did Vindman not have a right to do so? Is it Vindman’s fault that his”report” was mishandled? That mis-handling should not minimize the importance what he saw/heard and reported. Whistleblower Vindman = smuck. How did that happen? Guess it depends what “side” you are on.
Since we have a comedian for a president, any comments said or unsaid at any time about military vets, military heroes, military families are just plain silly. The whole darn Atlantic thing is a big fat joke. Heyyy a hoax is a joke, right? Get over it people. You all know what we pay our comedians to do – rub our faces in our own crap so we can LAUGH about it – instead of cry. Give me “moar” comedy, please.
“It’s all gone, the entire camp. Moria was meant for 3,000 people but still in 2020 there were 15,000 or so living there”. Reminds me of the fenced enclosures/camps along US borders, stuffed with moms and kids. I am sorry for the suffering of refugees and ask for forgiveness for how we are treating the least of us. We are all in the same human family. Their destiny is our destiny.
