Seriously.

WTF God.

Trump is right there in front of You and You choose to send your pestilence at this woman?

Trumpy is pure evil.

Evil creates chaos because evil thrives in chaos.

Pretty obvious he knew he wasn't quoting actual scripture.

Pretty obvious now huh?

In the video many in the audience literally bowed their heads in prayer.

I watched so many films in my halycon days that I provide leads for folks today on cult classics or hidden gems.

Books lead me to good movies and movies lead me to good books.

Speaking of "cult classics" and hidden gems I found one while studying Egyptology. The professor recommended it. (Egyptology.. for when you want to forget the civilization as is and want to see it as it once was 5000 years-ago as it arrived on the scene in all its glory).

Putting in a plug for movies. Maybe you remember the 1963 movie Cleopatra?

It's a masterpiece and is actually historically accurate! (Mostly).
Well worth your time.

The movie did not do so well in its own time because it was so elaborate and costly they could not recoup the costs. The scenes were awesome productions reminiscent of the Ten Commandments and Ben Hur and the arrival of Cleopatra in Rome was completely over the top and not to be missed!

But it's seemingly exactly what the most beautiful and most powerful queen in history would do. It's an incredible story. A Greek tragedy at its finest and most real.

"Dow still isn't back up to 50,000."

But strangely holding steady and not crashing.

Yet.

"Even the Pope goes to confession."

I am not Catholic.

But as I understand it you are not "judged" in confession.

Confession is for mercy and forgiveness rather than passing any judgments. It's for reconciliation with your God and absolution of any perceived sins, not keeping a tally of faults.

The stock markets are DOING just fine so Cha-Ching!

So not winning today?

No worries. We can win again tomorrow!

The stock markets are so just fine so Cha-Ching!

BTW: What do you think about the food and rationing problems with the ACG in the Middle East?

No movies? Man ya'll are tough on yourselves!

As for the ME?

"Nothing bad can happen. It can only good happen."

Food can be used as a weapon.

"There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy"

This just highlights the vulnerability of modern "just-in-time" supply chains. If logistics fail desperation can lead to immediate social unrest.

The food shortages will only increase tensions in the region as it increases the pressure on the poor and the refuges to find food.

It is just kicking up the can down the road.

Another mess for Dems to try and (probably not) clean up after this "battle" is over.

Democracy? Where?

Not here..

Still living in that fantasyland?

This government of the people by the people and for the people shall not be dismissed and will not be vanquished that easily.

The United States is a representative democracy and a constitutional republic, where citizens elect officials to represent them rather than voting directly on all laws. It operates as a federal system with power shared between national and state governments, bound by a constitution.

And as long as I am alive it will stay that way.

Semper Fi

I would argue that Progressives hold that the "unalienable rights" of the Declaration were originally limited to a small group of people and that the "progressive" work throughout history has been to use government to ensure those rights actually apply to everyone.

As for whether our rights come from God I would ask which God is going to enforce them for us?

"One Battle After Another"

I guess I should at least get the title right.

If you haven't seen Battle After Battle it's well worth your time.

And it's very timely.

Hope they can get Sean Penn to portray him in the movie that Hollywood is sure to make about this insane episode in American life.

Sean Penn won the 2026 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Colonel Steven J. Lockjaw in Paul Thomas Anderson's 2025 film One Battle After Another.

He played a paranoid, "alt-right" military officer, described as a stiff, absurd, and menacing antagonist in the thriller, which is based on Thomas Pynchon's Vineland.

"I have a feeling that after this current saga is over.."

I have a feeling that we will be overcome by events and be too busy putting out all the fires left by Mr Toad and his Wild Ride (ver 2.0) to be able solve that particular problem which was so clearly highlighted and abused by the Convicted Felon.

Once you step over that line, you invite scrutiny.

"Prima Sedes a nemine iudicatur"

The Pope is judged by no one.

He is only accountable to God, not to any earthly secular authority.

Not so for preachers and evangelicals in America ... if you step over the line into politics in your church then you could invite IRS scrutiny (under a NORMAL administration which actually follows and faithfully enforces the law).

For the Pope there is no line whereby any government can hold him accountable for what he says.

So good luck with all the "scrutiny". The Pope invites more of your "scrutiny".

when you get caught you whine like little bitches.

When Convicted Felon and twice impeached Trumpy gets caught with his hand in the federal cookie jar he just doubles down on his lies lines up the lawyers and goes crying to the supremes who he thinks he owns.

Iran has said the straits are open. It's the US that's maintaining a blockade.

#26 | POSTED BY MADBOMBER

And today they say the straits are NOT open.

The first casualty in any war is the Truth.

And do you really expect the truth from either side of the conflict at this point?

Pres Trump will likely pardon him.

#2 | POSTED BY LAMPLIGHTER

Everyone gets a pardon. Trumpy has already promised to pardon his all of his minions no matter how many liberals they have kill.

"I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval ... "

Moo ha ha!

Another MAGA maroon who can't be trained to work within the law.

Off to the gravel pits!

Whaa?

Are Christians having a come to Trumpy Jesus moment?

Re 7

That's all you have to say about our Convicted Felon Presnut releasing his fellow convicted felons from prison and canceling their convictions of sedition and his attempts to "whitewash" history?

Woe unto you come November.

Better find that rock you crawled out from the under and make sure it's still available and you can still get to it quick!

Accountability is coming.

Turds, you're a racist piece of shht.

He can't be. Only democrats are racist and 9 out of 10 Republicans believe racism is over (confusing I know).

Maybe he is just a plain old fashioned POS.

"Why does being transgender bother anyone?"

Rumor has it some Dingaling was completely fooled by one in a bar somewhere once in front of his friends.

He will never let that go.

So while no crime has been committed Trumpy and his hateful minions will continue to "investigate" their adversaries and detractors until they can find one.

The Great American FAFO is going about as well as expected.
