Apropos of nothing...

Carlos Castaneda Interview with Theodore Roszak 1969

He's biting a whole warehouse full of pillows about now.

"The current debate over a possible Russian attack on NATO reflects the alliance's failure to maintain credible deterrence against its far weaker adversary amid an unprecedented rise in tensions over the invasion of Ukraine.

On paper, at least, this makes little sense. After all, the power of the NATO alliance completely dwarfs Russia's much smaller military and economic potential.

In practice, however, it is increasingly apparent that Putin has managed to seize the initiative in this unequal confrontation by exploiting the West's crippling fear of escalation."

Correction: should be, 'exploiting the West's mentally and morally crippled Leader in the WH.'

It's accomplishing something, but for Trump, not for DC or for America.

It riles up the goshdarn Base rural of rwingers; shows he knows how to treat the -------.

"Blanche's latest move reflects poorly on all of the Republicans who voted to confirm him"but especially Senators Bill Cassidy, John Cornyn, and Tom Tillis, who bought into the attorney general's promises to limit the scope of a different immunity for the president.

Blanche has demonstrated that he isn't the least bit interested in holding the president accountable for anything"let alone preserving transparency in government.

But we already knew that, didn't we?"

Obligatory:

Or as DJT calls it, 'dinner'.

Our reaction to Stephen Miller....

Make America Hated Again!

Why Iran's Military Posture Has remained Strong

Duh... who negotiates when they've already won?

Reading is your Friend, even if you find a convenient excuse not to do it.

At least then you could have made an Argument rather than merely a Whine.

Wow!

1NuttyBuddy 'thinks' US Security Forces are running residential doorbell cams?

What a maroon!

China operates the largest camera surveillance network on earth... about 1 for every two citizens, which is more than cameras than the rest of the world combined.

But hey, Number Two Son will feel safe when he retires there.

He must be scared to death most of the time here.

He needs them there until after his third term begins... and his Golden Bunker is built.

TACO Pool Party!

Prior to the mid-70's, and especially prior to Reaganism and the wholly IMAGINARY
Trickle Down Economics, who's authors and enablers now admit never did any such thing... workers were paid a Living Wage, could afford housing, kids, college, healthcare, and to take care of their elder parents.

Gen-scaping is mindless avoidance of any attempt to correct the economics of planned Recessions and Citizens United that made the People obsolete and the banks and corporations, via their stranglehold on law and politics, King.

Resulting in the Republican Party and the Criminal in the WH we have today.

No amount of whining about what Gen was in charge when it happened is going to change that.

And what's next? Which Gen will we blame when AI tells you when to crap and when to die?

They know how to read polls and they want to keep their cush' jobs.

Nazis prefer the pure blood of the Master Aryan Race, thank you ever so much.

Are they trying to say that Disney's Davy Crockett got his coonskin cap from Sears and Roebuck?

Rand is still pissed that Fausi and science won out over his false claims about how herd immunity would be effective against a mutating disease.

"Public health experts established that relying on infection instead of vaccines would have resulted in devastating death tolls, as immunity from prior variants waned and new mutations continuously emerged."

The Toxic Legacy of Boomer-Blaming

'Member the War of the Roses?

History may well call this the War of the TACOS.

- The alternative is to destroy what you have.

The alternative is de-escalation of hostility by listening, understanding, and mediation as a first resort, not as a last one.

And what JC preached was: "Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you" (Matthew 5:44).

Paul wrote:" Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good".

SO, yet again, whatever you type is the polar opposite of the Facts.

- fulfill Liberal ideals.

Father, forgive him, for he know not what he says.

"Fighting fire with fire" - 1NuttyBuddy

"Fighting fire with fire" is widely considered an ineffective strategy because it generally escalates conflicts, erodes moral authority, and perpetuates the very toxic behaviors it seeks to stop.'

AI; at least smarter than Green Card Chinese.

Palestinians are closing linked to Samaritans, some genetically, others culturally and or by religion; the small group that still exist separately from Jews follow the first 5 books of the Hebrew texts.

Of course, when JC wanted to shame the Jews for their arrogance towards Samaritans of his day, he told the parable of the Good Samaritan, who came to the aid of a Jew who had been beaten and robbed... and then passed by by other Jews.

Obviously modern Jews still aren't interested in that story, or in him.
