Seems like the only thing that America can do right anymore is blow things up.

So true, and from soup to nuts: Relationships, treaties, rockets, countries, health and safety protocols, airplanes, people, legal mores, chemical plants, principles, careers.

Amerikkka has become a cheap rundown theater showing a really bad movie and we're unable to walk out.

Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, sniveled that it's just as well the popular mayor doesn't attend.

"We have too much self-respect and self-dignity to have this man bring a dark cloud to our parade," Schneier kvetched. "Do us a favor: Stay home. Stay [at] Gracie Mansion. We'll do just fine without you."

Disgraced ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams, now an Albanian citizen, bleated that he will march in this year's parade, although this ripesuck has little to gain from the wealthy Israeli lobby as his political future is now as moribund as sexual predator Andrew "Judas Iscariot" Cuomo, a quisling who betrayed the Democratic Party of his father for a meager 30 pieces of silver by running as an independent against Zohran Mamdani.

"We'll show them hijab-wearers, right Mr. Mayor?"

"Damn straight, Shlomo!"

My pleasure, Doc Sarvis.

Co-founders of "Students for Trumpf" Ryan Fournier and John Lambert have a lengthy and disgusting sordid history which Captain Google can easily retrieve for you should you want to waste precious brain cells and time.

An arrest or an indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Then throw away the key.

And here are Debbie Wasserman Schultz's (D-FL) congressional accomplices in the Sunshine State (and there are others, since this is a sub rosa bi-partisan MIGA effort):

Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum

FTA:

"While other Democrats are running to the fight, Debbie Wasserman Schultz is running here [FL 20th CD] to help Jim Crow Republicans in the South as they take away black voices in Congress. 20+ Years in Congress-- Debbie Wasserman-Schultz is the rot in the Democratic Party."

From cradle to grave, JFK never walked around with two cents in his pockets.

All of his friends and classmates would pay for him-- including buying him a stick of gum-- then send the IOUs to his father who would dutifully pay them all back and inter alia keep track of his son and his cohorts.

The US Geological Survey (USGS) will record a "seismic" event in their collection platforms.

"Fred, was that a 5.1 Richter scale earthquake?"

"Nah, people found out that Dummkopf Trumpf just croaked."

"Yippee!"

Any political candidate for any office anywhere in the US that bleats ICE and DHS just needs to be "fixed" or "reformed" -- not completely abolished-- should be immediately disqualified by the rational voter.

Buddhists are taught the importance of intention.

What is the intention of any politician that wants to maintain ICE and DHS?

Removal powers of undesirables and a massive clearinghouse of data on Americans.

Dummkopf Trumpf and MAGA have turned Amerikkka into a nuclear-armed Banana Republic.

The next non-Republican administration has the unenviable task of un-assing four years of chaos and corruption when they over on 20 Jan 2029.

The looted wealth (billions and billions) won't ever be recovered, the US Treasury will have far less money to work with to help millions of poor people, Israel will be Palestinian-free-- and our allies-- like Canada -- would have already completely moved on from the US.

And Mexico will be in its second year of universal healthcare for all residents in 2029-- unlike the US-- thanks to President Claudia Sheinbaum.

Wow.

"Stuff like this is why neither side is in the right in that conflict."

Formatting fixed: "The Department of Justice filed lawsuits against Maine, Washington, Oregon, and Massachusetts challenging their policies of denying confidential license plates to federal law-enforcement officers (e.g. DHS and ICE agents)."

Didn't VPOTUS Mike Pence also refer to his wife maternally?

pictured below, suspect USN veteran Thomas Caleb Butler (32) is taking medication for mental illness.

"This is the guy that plays with Legos and Star Wars stuff," Butler's friend reportedly said.

I think the junta members chuckled at his brazen callousness and indifference.

We're going bankrupt as a country that has hungry children and we're wasting money on moon madness that will enrich mega-oligarchs Felon Musk and Jeff Bezos.

But hey, let's watch the UFC together!

Hi Matt

The only US Army specialized training that I wanted to complete was Air Assault school. By coincidence I knew two Vietnam War vets who were both helicopter M60 door gunners, so I heard their war stories. And I would learn more at Air Assault school (LZs, knots, hand-and-arm signals, heliborne operations, etc) than Jump School, which is just muscle-memory practice of PLFs and guiding away from trees or water.

Tough break on the EFMB.

I had zero respect for senior leadership.

Hmph.

Last century, I knew a USAR soldier who attended Air Assault School as a permissive TDY at Ft Belvoir, VA. He showed up at O dark thirty in the morning and got a slot when someone didn't show up or was kicked out later that day. He passed.

Afterwards, he studied and practiced for the EIB. Somehow he finagled his way into a MDARNG infantry unit and took the EIB test during one long weekend with them. He passed.

"AP" repeated the same process with Pathfinder School, skills which he never used, but he looked great in his Class As or Dress Blues.

"AP" was more proud of his ability to get the scare badges than the training itself.

And incredibly enough, "AP" was a lousy swimmer.

I was the unit's 'WSI' because I was an American Red Cross certified lifeguard, not an official WSI or certified WSSI.

So, I coached him for several days on efficient strokes and breath control before the unit validation tests and he passed.

No scare badge for that though.

'AP' did me some small favors along the way, so I hope he's doing well and enjoying retirement.

@47 FYI: Neither athletes nor soldiers like Teddy Roosevelt, William Shakespeare died at age 52; Ludwig van Beethoven was 57. And all three had much more to offer the world.
