Saturday, August 23, 2025

President Donald Trump on Friday showed off a photograph he said Russian President Vladimir Putin sent him of them standing side by side a week ago in Alaska. Trump brandished the picture in the Oval Office as he announced the 2026 World Cup draw will be hosted in Washington at the Kennedy Center.

Putin's bitch is getting more pathetic by the second.

I was expecting his new Executive Order naming the next US Navy CVN USS Lewzer.

I'm sure it will come. There's a CVN to be named after a black guy... I'm sure he will kill that.

OK, let's take a step back here.

And ask...

Is this just more of Pres Putin using Pres Trump?

Asked differently, to what purpose does this help Pres Trump's goals?

Stated and asked differently, again...

Pres Trump has ceded much (so much) to Pres Putin, what has Pres Putin ceded in return for peace in Ukraine?

Anyone?

Al Stewart - A Man for All Seasons (1978)
www.youtube.com

Lyrics excerpt ...

genius.com

...
[Chorus]
What if you reached the age of reason
Only to find there was no reprieve
Would you still be a man for all seasons?
Or would you just have to leave

[Verse 1]
We measure our days out
In steps of uncertainty
Not turning to see how we've come
And peer down the highway
From here to eternity
And reach out for love on the run
While the man for all seasons
Is lost behind the sun

[Verse 2]
Henry Plantagenet still looks for someone
To bring good news in his hour of doubt
While Thomas More waits in the Tower of London
Watching the sands running out
And measures the hours out

From here to oblivion
In actions that can't be undone
A sailor through the darkness
He scans the meridian
And caught by the first rays of dawn
The man for all seasons
Is lost beneath the storm
...

I suppose Putin could attack Norway but back off if they agree to give Lewzer the Peace Prize.

Wow, they don't write lyrics like that anymore.

My guess would be more along the lines of substantial tariffs on Norway.


But that's just imo.

You are probably correct.

In that instance, I do hope my comment is not correct.

Wow, I just discovered tht the Firefox browser spell-check things that "correcgt" is a valid spelling.

Wow.

I have not seen such an error in the years I have been using Firefox.

Please excuse me for a while as I look to report this issue ...

Dummkopf Trumpf said ICC-indicted war criminal Vladimir Putin may attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament. Putin can sit next to Benjamin Netanyahu and they can exchange notes on mass murder. I imagine the same would apply for the 2028 Summer Olympics.

Done.

Lewzer would nuke Norway to get the Peace Prize.

He thinks it's a trophy. He has no idea what it means. He just knows he will never have it, and it gnaws him to sleep every night.

If I may be so bold to ask, what else did you expect from an obvious toadie to Pres Putin?

I mean, really.
