As much as I don’t care for Newsom, he’s playing this well. Using the photos of the guys piled on each other in some classroom to call out Trump directly.
Political affiliations don’t matter here; Americans like soldiers. Especially older people, they get livid seeing our soldiers get treated like shit.

I feel that. I actually was just lamenting that a minute ago, looking at the bottom of my Zippo lighter, which says “1941 Replica.”
“Man, imagine living in a time when nobody thought smoking was bad for you…” - my brain
Imagine living in 1902, when you could just go to the store and buy cocaine and heroin for your toothache.
Hell, listening to the fun our parents had growing up. It shouldn’t be punishable by years in prison to shoot off some fireworks at a party. (I live in OH, our fireworks laws are brutal. Us and Utah, man.)
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with lamenting that the past is gone. Yes, there were bad things we’re better off without, but we lost and gave up a lot, too. Missing those things isn’t wrong.
I’m surprised his favorite president is still Jackson, when we actually had a Confederate (ex) president.
President John Tyler, who took over after the death of William Henry Harrison, supported and joined the Confederate States’ Congress later in life, though he died before he could actually take his seat in it.
Alright, I’m not crazy; I swore there was, in fact, a warrant issued for Bibi by the ICC, which is the correct way to handle this. (Honestly, with that and the warrant for Duterte both out, this is gonna show if the ICC still has any teeth. We need to know if they can still be relied on.)

WHYYYYYYYYUUHHHHH
See, this is something that can’t happen in the USA (yet,) but is easy-peasy in the rest of the world.
Don’t give avowed authoritarians positions of power. Yes, their membership in a hate group can be used to limit their opportunities. You make a choice by joining a recognized hate group, you gotta own it.
……except in the USA, where hate groups are just fine and dandy for governmental spots. (Perhaps encouraged in some cases.)
Yet another thing the rest of the world gets right that we’re sorely behind on.
I’m so proud of LA right now.
Those of us on the opposite side of the country may or may not be ready, as well, when our time comes. (And it’s definitely a “when.”)
Note that none of these policies ever involve “giving.” It’s all taking this away, means-testing this, banning that, etc.
Hilariously true. Anyone who puts actual faith in those guys or relies on them for anything is insane. (Or just desperate as fuck, which Russia may be becoming.)
I can’t help but think back to when Musk was threatening to cut off poor, remote areas in South America from Starlink over petty shit. Yall want THAT guy to be your friend? Yikes.
Completely agree, and would like to add:
With all of the info coming out about Biden basically being puppet-stringed through those last few years, I think it’s safe to say anything he “approved” was basically putting a stamp in a sleeping person’s hand and using their arm to stamp the paper.
Soooo……who ACTUALLY called the shots, made the plans, etc, with regard to Israel policy?
That’s what I wanna know, like, yesterday.
She was mentioned in a Wikipedia article related to this voyage that I was reading about. It’s super weird for any article talking about this to exclude her, as she’s arguably as big of a deal as Greta.
A, uh, government bearing arms against its citizens….why you ask…?
I got ahold of a big box of Canadian candy recently, gave some to my (very Republican) mom. She was amazed how much better it is, and how much shorter the ingredient list is. The chocolate itself isn’t like candle wax. (She had also never had a Coffee Crisp before, poor thing.)
Yeah; they don’t let companies use car antifreeze as a preservative! (Fireball whiskey is banned pretty much everywhere except the USA for this reason. The preservative is literally antifreeze.)
Swear to fuck, we could dramatically improve national health in a few months if we’d shut our mouths and open our eyes. Oh, and every single thing on our store shelves? Replace it with the Euro version; they have all the same stuff we do, it’s just vastly better made.
