I offer the perspective of the greatest historian, documentor and philosopher in American history. Do you know who that was?

Kurt Vonnegut?

Start with 1953 and work it out from there.

Nominating Lindsey to lead a LRRP composed entirely of Capon Caucus blowhards onto Kharg.

The Iranians are just beginning to take Old Yeller to school.

Thank you, Congressional Capon Caucus.

A statue of a family of dead First Americans spread out at the feet of a grinning Pilgrim goober with an axe in one hand and a still-smoking .50-caliber wheellock in the other might be more appropriate.

Lindsey Graham didn't do sheet on Iwo.
But over the course of about 5 weeks, about 7,000 Marines and 20,000 Japanese troops died.
Eff off, Lindsey, you pencil-pushing little ------.

The conspicuous display of sociopathic attitudes is one of the more obvious symptoms of Trump's illness. It's behavior his acolytes seek to emulate, hoping to attract his attention and gain his approval. There are precedents for this sort of dangerous nonsense.

I wasn't suggesting a draft. I was suggesting height would be no bar to Barron shattering Trump family tradition by enlisting in the military; in this case, for a "maneuver" started by his dad and for which the old boy is happy to honor its dead by wearing his best baseball cap for a bodies transfer ceremony.

Don't hold your breath.

Exemptions from height requirements are not unusual, and a quick googling reveals a taller guard at Arlington.

Which might be a good place for Barron to start with his war werk.

Looks like Pfc Bone Spurs hasn't met a war crime he won't enthusiastically embrace.
Kind of like when he mindlessly and enthusiastically dry ""(starts with an "h," rhymes with "jumps") our flag.
Or skull flucks his MAGAt minions.

"Truly amazing, what people can get used to, as long as there are a few compensations."
Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid's Tale

Speaking of Kharg Island, back in 1944 the Marines were charged with taking Peleliu, a coral island of similar size to the Iranian territory occupied by Japanese forces. The genius in charge of that one said four days, tops. It took nearly ten weeks.

Yes, different ... but also similar.

The March of Folly ... marches on.

Trump only needs a moustache (and about a 150-pound weight drop and some actual hair) and he's right there with Hitler, down in the bunker, Russian shells screaming overhead, spittle-hating every last German for "betraying" his loser ambitions and government by whim and hallucination.

Just off the top of my head, I think I've lived through fourteen presidencies. Looking back, whatever they may have thought or said in private about the demise of rivals/opponents, not one of those folks ever made a comment like that in public, on the record. Not until MAGAts and their corporatist masters released this criminalistic lowlife creature upon our nation.

With Trump and his MAGAts there is no bottom.

A grifting grafter, in a Trump regime?
Oh, Jeebus, Daddy, say it ain't so.

Now wait just a darn minute here. That goober over at FEMA is a declared adept at telekinetic travel.
Surely there's something in that.

"He was looking for the place called Lee Ho -----
Gonna get a big dish of beef chow mein"

On a Capitol Hill where being a jerk is practically a job requirement, Fetterman stands out: consostent as a jerk, sure, but totally unreliable otherwise.

"Those who believe in telekinetics, raise my hand."
Kurt Vonnegut

MarkWayne, a mendacious and moronic specimen, is a perfect fit for this regime and the pathetic and disappointing chunk of Amerika he truly represents.

Good storyteller and craftsman. Well done. RIP.

A man of the people.
