Trump Scales Back Joint Military Exercises with S Korea

I was working on getting my driver's license renewed. So you shouldn't give me a ticket." Any liberal after being pulled over.

POSTED BY FISHPAW

Funny you should mention that.

No having a valid drivers license is a misdemeanor. In California they call those "wobblers" -meaning prosecutors have the discretion to file it either as a minor infraction or a misdemeanor

Anyone "working on getting a drivers license renewed" will have all the appropriate documents to prove it and the officer would only write a fix it ticket (due process) or just let the driver go after inspecting the documents.

The same thing should be happening with an immigration enforcement. Especially being as most of those violations are also just misdemeanors or minor infractions.

I'm confused. Is North Korea joining the US in the denuclearization of Iran? Last I heard, North Korean and Iran were allies.

Having your healthcare connected to your job is insanity. It's not far from serfdom.

Agreed. And so many jobs don't even provide reasonable healthcare options.
There are also a lot of people in their fifties who are in a financial position to retire and make way for younger people in the workforce but they are forced to hang on for years for no other reason than health insurance.

Oh look, the "winningest war in history" just discovered it has used up 90-plus percent of the good missiles. High nineties, even. That's not a stockpile anymore, that's a mall kiosk.

Trump launched this thing in February like a guy who just found a half-empty bottle of cheap hootch and decided it was champagne night. Now the cupboard's bare, the factories are still ramping up, and the only thing left is the ceremonial "we're making more than ever" press conference while Pete Hegseth stares blankly at an empty shelf and pretends it's full of invisible munitions.

Republicans, remember: you asked for the tangerine narcoleptic diaper filler short-fingered vulgarian who treats national security like a late-night informercial barker. "But wait, there's more!"

Except there isn't. Just the sound of the last Tomahawk whistling into the void and a memo that says "please send thoughts and prayers, and also more billions."

Next up: the Pentagon announces a new initiative to hurl empty shipping crates and strongly worded tweets. That should hold China and Russia for at least fifteen seconds.

This is one of the four legs of the stool that is killing the middle class.

1. Remove the US from the gold standard ensuring that inflation will destroy middle class wages.

2. Switch from pensions to 401k plans further eroding the middle classes discretionary income.

3. Vastly increase the cap of student loans and remove them from bankruptcy protections ensuring middle class debt slavery.

4. Allow healthcare to become for profit creating a wealth extraction engine from the middle class chock full of deductibles, copays and ever increasing premiums sending wealth from the middle class to the 1%.

The GOP has failed the middle class for the benefit of the 1% not in a grandiose step, but by killing it with a thousand cuts.

New recruits are joining the military in big numbers

... Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, an Army National Guard veteran, has repeatedly elevated military recruiting successes into the marquee achievement of his tenure and folded recruiting, long treated as an apolitical function of the military, into a broader culture-war proxy.

In remarks to roughly two dozen of the military's top recruiters at the Pentagon in December, Hegseth framed improved enlistment numbers as a reflection of confidence in the administration.

"You can talk about polls, you can talk about money, but men and women willing to serve and put on the uniform is a reflection of the belief they have in civilian leadership and military leadership," he told them.

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, in a statement to ABC News, shared that same sentiment, adding that, "Americans everywhere are prouder than ever to serve in our unmatched military that prioritizes lethality, merit, and protecting our nation from those who seek to harm it."

Yet the military has been selling effectively the same proposition since the U.S. abandoned the draft and fully transitioned to an all-volunteer force in 1973: job stability and benefits, with a sense of adventure to sweeten the deal. What has changed, however, is the politics surrounding that bargain.

The military's recruiting rebound is real, but the reasons behind it are far less political than Hegseth's framing suggests.

ABC News interviewed nearly 40 recruits and prospective recruits at different stages of enlistment, along with two dozen recruiters across the military and current and former defense officials, and found young Americans are still largely making the same calculation that has driven enlistment for decades: steady pay, education benefits, job training and a direct path to the middle class. ...

Woodstock's 57th

I was in Europe chasing a Brazilian girl around the south of France. It was over a month before I ran out of $$ and came home to start classes. Seems so incomprehensibly innocent, looking back. Cultural touchstones, and all that. I was 23, fresh out of the military a short year before.

A cult is a social group or system defined by extreme devotion to a charismatic leader, idea, or set of unorthodox beliefs. Rather than specific theological views, experts define cults by their use of coercive control, psychological manipulation, and isolation to dominate members.

Key Characteristics
Authoritarian Leader: A single, powerful leader makes all major rules and demands absolute loyalty.
Coercive Control: Use of isolation, guilt, and behavioral restrictions to regulate members' lives.
Us vs. Them Mentality: The group views itself as the sole source of truth while demonizing the outside world.
Exploitation: Financial, emotional, or physical resources are funneled upward to benefit the leadership.
Common Warning Signs
Excessive and uncritical praise for the group or leader.
Discouragement of independent questioning or critical thinking.
Pressure to cut ties with past friends and family.
Sudden and drastic changes in personal habits, diet, sleep, or financial commitments.

Trump Shows Off Article That Credits Biden for Lower Drug Prices

Alex,
Truly, I'm not a "MAGA," whatever that is and yes, I own a MAGA hat.
Before I retired, I had a life-size cardboard Trump standing against the wall in my office. I bought it during his first term as a conversation piece.
But do you honestly believe I approve of Trump's lifestyle? Do you believe he reflects my personal values, especially after everything I've posted here over the years?
All this "pedo" nonsense people posting one accusation after another is nothing more than an attempt to insult me by association.
I don't really care, but I hope it's all just part of the game. "You bought a Trump Bible ha ha."
How could anyone who knows my beliefs think I approve of the way Trump has lived?
I voted for the Republican candidate, who happened to be Trump.
Today, politically, I'm glad to see him taking on Iran. It's about d time someone did.
There is far more going on and far more at stake than what is immediately obvious or can be reduced to nuclear weapons, although I completely agree that those are a serious concern.
You have to compartmentalize politicians. Supporting someone politically does not mean embracing his character, lifestyle, or every decision he makes.
That doesn't mean I dislike everything about Trump either. I don't.
He is a smart man.
That's all I'll say.

Most people are under insured or private insurance is now out of reach financially or has completely withdrawn from high-risk areas due to climate change

Really, BILL? Where is the argument?

Most people are constructing detailed critiques about Trump/MAGA in this forum anymore because it's degenerate, actinic nature is self-evident.

Trump Shows Off Article That Credits Biden for Lower Drug Prices

What's over exactly?

I think a little more clarity is needed.

#8 | POSTED BY BILLJOHNSON

Any pretense that Trump/MAGA is effective or sane.

Any conceit that Trump/MAGA is any damned good.

Of course this was due to the Biden and he will take credit for it.

The GOP loves to take credit for things that democrats do. In district after district, they love to go to ribbon cutting ceremonies for projects that were passed by Biden and they voted against.

BTW, I thought drug prices were supposed to drop 1600% by now.

Vance Says Low Oil Prices Is Top Goal in Iran War

This morning, 8/17/26, according to Bloomberg, spot price for WTI is up 32% from exactly six months ago, and the national average price for unleaded regular gas is up 39% in six months. For those who consume diesel, that's up 48% in the past six months. A whole lot of MAGA folk are getting what they voted for. Let's hope they feel good and patriotic about paying so much more at the pump--especially those "Farmers for Trump"...

IN THE MEANTIME, RELEASE THE TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES...

Trump Scales Back Joint Military Exercises with S Korea

"Join us in the denuclearization of...Iran..."?
Iran, to be clear, had no nuclear weapons, whereas Israel has hundreds of nuclear weapons of mass destruction aimed straight at Iran.
South Korea needed to keep its forces at home...it has an implacable enemy just across its border.
Trump is the worst President in history...he takes aim at our allies and pretends to be great friends with our enemies.

Or used to.

This "stoopiguy"* won't vote for the most progressive candidate in the next US election anyway, watch.

*"Stoopiguy" is "stupid guy" and how the Bangladeshis in NYC pronounce this epithet, eliding the "d."

Dummkopf Trumpf Appeases North Korean Supremo Kim Jong-Un

"The Republic of Korea, a staunch ally of the US, sent ~335,000 fighting men to South Vietnam from 1965 to 1973; ~5,500 were KIA, ~11,000 were WIA. Though the South Korean Army contributed most of those troops, members of South Korea's Marines, Air Force, and Navy also participated in the war, while Dummkopf Trumpf avoided combat in Vietnam by dodging the draft with a cowardly and spurious claim of suffering from bone spurs.'"

Well, when you push out all the senior officers that know what they're doing, you end up with morons who don't and you end of seeing a degradation and failure of logistical commands.

It still seems to be impossible to imagine any other intention in Trump's second administration than the implosion of the United States.

Social Democracies are usually prosperous, happy democracies; even businesses and commercial interests do well.

Well, and therein lies the propaganda.

Most people envision systems like those in Nordic countries that actually work for their constituents.

Republicans act like everyone wants the second coming of the USSR to America.

The US is a democratic republic headed towards being an Authoritarian Corrupt Capitalist society like China, just hiding behind democracy rather than communism.

Since you haven't a clue, let's give you one; prior to Reaganism and Supply Side Economics, companies paid a Living Wage and welfare entitlements weren't so necessary; people could afford healthcare, homes, and education.

Your perspective is rather weird for a supposed Bernie supporter turned Trump Obfuscator.

Social Democracies are usually prosperous, happy democracies;

The US is a social democracy, according to your definition, with almost 1/2 of its budget on welfare and entitlements, it spends just as much if not more money on a per citizen basis than some "happy democracies". ($11,167 to $12,300 per capita)

Hello Old Friend

Indeed.

AIPAC agit-prop kicked in full steam in America after the 9/11 attacks in the US and the rise of the Likud Party in Israel after PM Yitzhak Rabin was murdered by a right-wing zealot in 1995.

Note that ICC-indicted war criminal Benjamin Satanyahu has watched four POTUS leave office while Israel has slowly seized more Palestinian property, killed tens of thousands of Muslims in the Middle East, and is occupying Lebanon south of the Litani River, all while Israelis enjoy worldclass universal healthcare and we're stuck with the BBB and Trumpf Diarrhea Syndrome (TDS).

And a bankrupted economy thanks to Bibi and the war against Iran the US is fighting for him.

AIPAC-ers in America are like the invasive species of aliens covertly taking over the world in the book (Jack Finney, 1955) and three films Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956, 1978, and 1993).
