Trump hilariously beclowning himself again.

Once you get to Idaho, you're almost halfway to Kolob.

Let's provide Rich McCormick with a learning opportunity. Stand him in front of one end of the Vietnam Wall, armed with a set of knee pads, clutching a bucket of sudsy water in one hand and a toothbrush in the other. He can clean each name on each panel. Top to bottom, all the way, looking up each name on his telephone and learning something about every one of them. When he's done, McCormick can return his equipment and report back on what - if anything - he learned.

As they say, war's good for business ... if you're in the right business.

Get some Scythian archer ladies full quivers and mounted up!

Poorly trained, heavily armed paramilitaries masked to hide their identities murdering people because they can murder people and get away with it.

Any of their crimes not covered-up by the cover-up can be wished away by what JD Vance claims is "absolute immunity" or, alternatively, washed away with a presidential pardon (price on request).

Nobody who'll own up to it.

Morning, Coriolanus ...

I pretty much backed off sci-fi when parting ways with Tom Swift, although I do like a good time travel yarn. I thought Finney was good, King got me going on the JFK assassination, and I am definitely open to recommendations should you have such on offer.

Trump left his war's "sell by" date behind, when he failed - Old Yeller is, after all, nothing if not a serial failure - to address the nation properly on Feb. 28.

Weirdly, occasionally there's actually a price to be paid for being a mentally incontinent/incompetent slob slobbing his way through life.

No, thank you, GOP. After all, this is what you yearned and burned for.

Two hundred-fifty years and done.

Congressionals do A LOT of this. Some is absolutely legit, but much is just grifting, impressing the rubes, networking for future lobbying gigs, collecting freebies, and acting important. They really are, as a whole, a pretty miserable bunch of opportunistic lowlifes.

"The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators."
Constitution of the United States of America, Article I, Sec. 4, Cl. 1 ("Elections Clause")

The Constitution is soooooo yesterday.

CORIOLANUS ... Yup, basically anything and everything. And this, coming from "conservatives"?

"But in every one of those little stucco boxes there's some poor bastard who's never free except when he's fast asleep and dreaming ... ."

How will slack-jawed MAGAts react when word gets out in tribal gatherings that their federally-approved voter identification particulars are linked to a database housing tax returns, information about gun ownership, Social Security numbers, and telephone records?

Asking for a friend.

So a month after airing a tape of himself in the middle of the night wearing a ridiculous baseball hat - to hide the hair net or the lack of hair? - babbling inanities and starting a war, Old Yeller is going to lurch on-camera and yip-yap about how, in retrospect, he's fulfilled all of the goals he's kept secret until now, ergo ta-ta-ta-TACO!

Alan Bates played a British soldier during the First World War who ended up in a French village abandoned by its inhabitants and taken over by the residents of a nearby asylum in King of Hearts (1966). It took him a while, but eventually he caught on.

Just saying.

I just no longer give any of these elected officials the benefit of the doubt. So, let's call it out for what it is: Sociopathy, Coriolanus, sociopathy.

"Why Iran Thinks It's Winning"

Because it was and it has.
Iran lucked out in history's draw by ending up with Trump as its adversary.
Drawing a downright fool as an opponent has its upside in a game of three-dimensional chess.

"One would think Rep Rick McCormick (R-GA) would know better"
You'd think, but, uh, no.
Go to the Wall, find some names of people you knew among that mountain of names ...
Then yip-yap about the "win."
Sorry, Congressman, we got our arses kicked.

What a bunch of hobos.

Suboptimal idea for a population among which, as of a couple of years ago, nearly 70% of the adults believed in angels.
