"Big Oil's Capture of Government Now Complete"

Helps to have a plan in mind. And execute it.

"America: Second-Rate Power That Few Now Take Seriously"

America is bleeding from the head and has decided to tie a tourniquet around its own neck (using an Abbie Hoffman image) to stop the flow. No great majority appears to be waking up to do much of anything about this. I don't know what's to be done, other than wait for the deaths of those most involved -- who will be replaced. I'm sure the path of succession is already lined up, and hopefully doesn't involve Uday or Qusay. What need have they for government anymore?

Everything turned when Obama was elected. The country was split by Bush/Gore, and now we have generations that have been brought up living in the racist aftermath of the Obama and Biden elections. I had mamaws from the hollows calling me out for being a n------lover when working the polls in 2008.

There's no strong counternarrative like the civil rights movement now, unless one wants to package together everyone's microaggressions in the name of human rights. Also out of favor.

Of all that lame TV character's flathead looks, Fake Pious is perhaps his worst. He's probably gritting his teeth.

I wonder if White House HazMat comes in after such a meeting . . . and if any of God's soldiers are dared asked to discard [listening] devices before entering the Holy of Holies.

Down a flight of stairs, no doubt.

Chickens are coming home to roost.

#105 | Poor BillJohnson

Is trying very hard to make this thread about anything other than Lindsay Graham.

The whole notion of a lone gunman, chapter and verse in US history, is J. Edgar Hoover's wet dream imagined as reality.

Between him and his boy toy Roy Cohn, who would have guessed we'd be living with their legacy into the mid 21st century?

Surveillance state? Good grief.

Clinton in 1996 crawled into bed drunkenly with Newt Gingrich and tolerated the Contract on America.

Want to discuss the prison industrial complex and how Black and brown youth fed it for decades?

Thanks, Clinton, and I presume that was a winning strategy for Carville. I certainly voted for Clinton then, as I did for Obama in his time. But history will show both to be conservative placeholders.

James Carville. I mean, I'd still listen to Henry Kissinger, but only for yuks.

lfthndthrds:

"You are part of the problem because you're a f-king idiot!"

Carville? That lizard? Has his wife returned to the Republican Party?

Not intended as an endorsement or advertising.

Another one? Did they have to harvest another adrenal gland for him to chew on?

22. Always a winner.

13. I believe that Trump's death will give the party of Grifters Or Pedophiles much less cover.

Trump is completely amoral. If he has morals, they aren't ones I'd want my children to exhibit.

9. You are living in an alternative universe if you think Trump's death will make MAGAhood stronger.

At this point, WTF can be considered an embarrassing Trump story?

Captain Beefheart, "When Big Joan Sets Up" (tv broadcast):

Have we already settled which other armed US functionaries or court orders can kill American citizens?

I'd frankly expect no less from certain members of the TN National Guard.

I've said it before here: East TN has much to offer, but a generally enlightened population isn't high in the rankings.

At age 66, I am by no means an old man these days. Nor do I feel like one.

But I remember being caught up short years ago when I realized how close my birth year of 1960 was to 1945.

And I went to college and found out that one of my friend's uncles was on the flight crew that bombed Nagasaki.

Like Ray Davies sang, "I'm a twentieth-century man but I don't want to die here."

His sons were on either side of me in school by a year, and we lived around the corner in the County of Kings. He would give us all rides to school some days.

I was not surprised to see this man still alive. He showed up in the news every few years until his death, although it was never bad news.

Always a smile on his face. I think he was rescued around age 12.

8. The father of two kids I went to school with had a tattoo. Numbers on the forearm.

I asked my stepfather, a good friend of his, about it. The answer was no more than three words.

Sweet man. He passed a few years ago at age 101.

I mean the people being hired by the current administration based on God knows what criteria to replace the institutional knowledge that's been lost during his administrations.

We're gonna be floundering in a stocked and yet to be drained swamp for awhile. These folks will suck on the teat too, as long as they can, if they can avoid the craziness once Trump dies.

There's more credible history in posts 20 and 21 than would fill a room of the garbage you've swallowed.

Ohio: Almost Kentucky.
