-Why pretend 8 years in the WH teaches nothing?!? Anyone, especially a savvy former state First Lady, learns how Washington politics works.

So, Barbara Bush, Melania Trump, Jill Biden learned how it all works?

Who in the entire Washington DC circuit believes those 2 ladies are even 1 step closer to being qualified to be POTUS?

Do you? I realize none of those women sought political office after living in the WH so it's different but Washington doesn't think much of first ladies.

Hillary is the all time exception to the rule. First lady experience is virtually meaningless.....except for Hillary.

Don't get me wrong.....I place the appropriate weight to serving in the senate and sec. of state.

Well, Democrats don't have anything to offer anymore except hate

IMO the Elites gave up, you see this in SFO, and LA. All the ideals just gave up.

I have a theory, that Lumpers don't believe in right or wrong. Just like many here believe there is nothing but the oppressor and the oppressed, and any position can be gauged against that PoV.

Its a major malfunction, because these captured Lumpers can't fix anything, for to fix something would mean someone is "oppressed".

This is why the fountains don't work, statues torn down, history destroyed in the name of the oppressed. Even if the "oppressed" were the oppressor in the past.
Its why the border dissolved.

Democrats need to get back to actually solving things.

Not even Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Genocide is overused word at this point as to be meaningless. There's no Israel "genocide" in Gaza, you'd have to be a historical illiterate to think so.

It’s Black Voters, Stupid. And Thank God for That.

1Nut Math excludes the FACT that immigration in this country has for decades been a net plus for the US Economy.

"The fiscal picture

Immigrants are a fiscal boon to the U.S. In a new report released by the Cato Institute, the authors update a model created by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine to examine the impacts of immigrants on the U.S. government's budget.

Their findings are clear:

In each year from 1994 to 2023, across all levels of government, immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits.

This resulted in a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 U.S. dollars over that period, including savings on interest payments on the national debt."

www.brookings.edu

As pointed out by the Libertarian Cato Inst.

Of course, DJT has managed to turn those numbers around with intimidation and terror tactics, so that this year is projected to be the first in decades that immigrants will NOT be a net plus for the economy.

Thanks, Trumpers!

Donald Trump has no capacity to feel the circumstances or needs of other people. Other people are less than furniture to him, which makes it fascinating that some want to write him into Christianity as a Chosen One.

As a man without empathy, Trump is a dangerous cripple. Look at what Putin does with his own people. Two million Russian casualties? Does anyone want to tell me that Putin loses any sleep over this?

And if it were two million Americans, neither would Trump.

It's difficult not to put it in that context considering we are talking about a person who the conservative, Murdoch owned, Wall St Journal ran an article that detailed how Trump continued to sex traffic teens to Epstein through the Mar-a-lago spa even when Epstein was not a member of the club.
Spa management knew what was going on, had alerted Trump to it, and would warn new employees about Epstein.

Stinky’s disastrous ceasefire set to expire

It's all been one "ceasefire" since the signing of the MOU between the US and Iran. Absent an agreement on control over the Strait of Hormuz and a boatload of other dicey issues, the MOU (and the non-ceasefire "ceasefire") expires after 60 days, either tomorrow (Aug. 16) or the following day.

Ding! End of the warmup for Round 1. For a preview of what comes next, perhaps someone in the White House might consider taking a peak at Seyed Abbas Araghchi's The Power of Negotiation: Principles and Rules of Political and Diplomatic Negotiations. The author is Iran's foreign minister and, boy, does he have some things to say about the subject.

Not since about World War II. How would you feel about sending "boys" to be slaughtered?

And in today's volunteer army / job corps, I'm presuming they are hardly boys, but (warning: cynicism alert) humans alert enough and with enough agency to have chosen the armed services as the best route to whatever they think their future holds.

I've not heard all the troops in Afghanistan, Iran, etc., over the years referred to as "boys."

Or, from another angle, maybe it wasn't JUST a rumor.

They don't call him Nutty Netanyahu for nothing. He's dead set on throwing a monkey wrench into the "negotiations" between the U.S. and Iran. Netanyahu doesn't want peace. He wants the U.S. proxy war on Israel's behalf to wipe Iran off the face of the earth - at any cost.

Trump (meh) not so much, especially since Trump is the one who will suffer the consequences of a prolonged, very unpopular and totally unnecessary war of choice.

Israel has put Trump between a rock and a hard place, so to speak. especially with so much AIPAC money on the line. Trump can't go forward (lack of ammunition) and he can't go backwards. (embarrassing loss of face)

And the Media is kicking him the --- 24-7.

It isn't easy being a feckless loser (LOL)

Trump Orders the Navy to Return to an Older Launch System

We were talking about this in the office yesterday. Our consensus was that someone in the Trump clan is going to make money off of this. No other reason.

I do a lot of work with Poland and Finland. I sometimes feel like they want Russia to do something. Something they could justify going exact revenge on that country.

Poland is by far the most aggressive country I work with.

And for good cause.

It was very clever of Araghehi to let Israel's "assassination" rumor blow up in Netanyhoo's face.

***** Newsworthy stars for that reply.

Contradicting Trump isn't a good career move in the military these days.

This is a reminder that Donald Trump, who has kept the USS Abraham Lincoln at sea for more than 240 consecutive days, has never served a day in his life.

The article touches on all but one of WWWWW journalism standards. Why?

Where does the article attempt to explain why senior officers failed to perform there fundamental duty to their subordinates? Kinda important information doncha think?

Turds didn't read the article and won't be able to answer your question.

He was trying to troll.

None of our Trump supporting contributors can name a single thing Trump has done to make life better for working class Americans.

Reveal Crisis on Second Navy Carrier

The simple truth is, the USN has overextended itself. There are only four deployed carriers. Lincoln is obviously over extended and is going home. They claim that Washington was always planned to rotate in to replace her. It's about 7,00 miles from Japan to the Gulf, a trip that would take about 15 days. Washington left Japan 83 days ago. It's not exactly in a hurry. Lincoln's original replacement was Roosevelt, which is currently in San Diego. Where will she go? To replace Washington in Japan? Or to relieve Bush, which has been at sea since May?

USS Photo Prop is at Newport News for a Mani-Pedi and to get her hair done, so that's no help. Three other carriers are in for multi-year fuel replenishments. The rest are in refits or training.
