@#4 ... Stephen Stills ...

Another tune of his that sticks in my mind ...

A song for those soldiers who went off to fight in the Vietnam war ...

... more than a third of Latino Trump voters say they now regret voting for him ...

Quelle surprise.

Pres Trump has run roughshod over the promises he made to his supporters during his 2024 campaign.

And now he seems to be surprised that their support for him is diminishing?

@#2 ... However, among those who qualify as Christian nationalists, these views differ drastically by race. ...

Wait, what???

How does one's race affect one's Christian views?

... Evangelicals are facing a moral dilemma -- is supporting government actions in line with their religious beliefs? ...

Sending happy, healing thoughts to Christina Applegate.

@#3 ... The best sitcom of all time. ...

I'm looking at how my TiVo describes the show in its program listings ...

...This lowbrow hit about the Bundys, TV's first family of raunch, made the new Fox network a player. The long-running series [11 seasons!] prospered despite the threats of sponsor boycotts and the ire of some critics, who objected to the show's offbeat, sometimes coarse humor.

TV Guide's reviewer, however, applauded the sharp, funny lines, calling the series an antidote to the 'hundreds of sugary sitcoms that have rolled blandly across American screens since the beginning of television time.' ...

@#25 ... Did they not have a falling out approximately two decades ago? ...

Did they?

Got a link?

thx.

@#2 ... Newt Gingrich was pretty open about his plans to destroy American prosperity. ...

Yeah, he seems to have brought that concept to the fore.

... "Melania despises Trump," Jones said on The Shawn Johnson Podcast'. ...

My comment earlier this evening from the music thread ...

@#18 ... Yea...it does sound excessive. ...

Yup.

While I may have used a different word than "excessive" I'll leave it with an agreement.

As I watched Pres Trump's changing comments over the hours today, I had to wonder, what is the reality of what is happening?

Do we know what that reality is yet?

Have Iran and Pres Trump both said the same thing about a possible agreement?

Pres Trump will likely pardon him.

...Diplomatic cables show Iran war is damaging US on multiple fronts across the world

The documents show the fallout for the US in Bahrain, Indonesia and Azerbaijan as it struggles to catch up with pro-Iran messaging.

The Iran war is risking America's global security ties and damaging its reputation, especially among the world's Muslims, according to a set of State Department cables obtained by POLITICO.

The cables, dated Wednesday, described the fallout of the war for America's standing in three countries in different parts of the world: Bahrain, Azerbaijan and Indonesia.

U.S. diplomats at embassies in the countries' capitals painted damning portraits of an America under siege in multiple media spheres by pro-Iranian actors that are exceptionally agile in the digital space.

In Azerbaijan, what had been a significantly improving relationship has hit a plateau at best, and appears to be faltering. Bahrain's government is facing questions about whether the U.S. abandoned it to fend for itself against Iranian drones and missiles. And Indonesia's leader could face growing calls to reduce security ties with the U.S.

Some of the cables describe anti-U.S. sentiment that is having an immediate impact, while others raise concerns that relationships could be in danger if the war continues much longer. Taken together, the cables paint a picture of countries where the U.S. is losing the population's trust, and potentially that of their governments.

The cables carry veiled requests for the Trump administration to free up American embassies to fight such negative narratives online and in traditional media. ...

First Lady Trump's view of Pres Trump?

@#14 ... I don't know what Donald Trump believes or feels. ...

You can get a pretty good idea of what he believes by how he acts towards others.

Cruelty seems to be a major tactic of his.

... The Trump administration has reportedly canceled an $11 million contract with the Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Miami ...

That's his response to what the Pope has been saying?!?!

@#7

Nice deflection attempt, similar to those of other trollers here.

Do try harder.

All Pres Trump has to do is burp, and a Big mac appears in front of him.

Why does he seem to be starving our brave troops?

Maybe in this front-page thread, Pres Trump might find the money to feed our troops ...

... She is a woman of class, grace and wit and is dealing with serious health issues.

Here's hoping she recovers quickly and can live as full a life as possible. ...

Yes, hoping a good outcome for her.

I remember tuning in to this new thing called Fox network back in the mid-80's and watching this sitcom.

"Married with Children" was a game changer back in the day when it appeared, and brought fame to the nascent FOX network, back in the day. It's comedy was, I'll say, coarser than the usual overly-sweet sitcoms of the day. But still apropos.

She played her role quite well.

I hope her well.
