Whenever our ethnic or national prejudices are aroused, in times of scarcity, during challenges to national self-esteem or nerve, when we agonize about our diminished cosmic place and purpose, or when fanaticism is bubbling up around us - then, habits of thought familiar from ages past reach for the controls.

There is great book out called The Ministry of the Future.

The book starts with a horrific, realistic heat dome in Uttar Pradesh, India, that kills millions of people in a matter of days. This event acts as a wake-up call for global society to do something about climate change.

It is realistic depiction of what happens to masses of humans who are trapped and cannot escape the heat and how they might react when they overheat and cannot get their internal temperature cooled down.

"There is not 'right" temperature as it has been in flux since the atmosphere formed on the planet."

Hey maga maroon..

Ask your friend (and lover?) GROK what "human climate niche" means.

BTW

An internal core temperature reaching 43C (109.4F) is virtually universally fatal to humans.

Tell that to Der Dotard and the pudding heads working on the 2026 edition of Peace with Honor, Iran version.

How will Trumpy and his F-Troop magically turn a disastrous and dishonorable War into a Peace with Honor?

Stay tuned this week while Pete Hegseth pulls a Jihadi AND a commie spy out of his hat while doing pull ups with the troops and then tries to justify his war crimes while not even addressing a single article of impeachment against him on the Pentagon's news presser called Fake The Nation!

It will indeed have to wait for any kind of action, if there is one.

You won't have to wait long.

The first vote on impeaching a Secretary of "War" since 1876 is Wednesday.

Stock up on the popcorn.

And how will persecuting Hegseth release the Epstein files and reduce gas, housing, grocery and healthcare prices?

That is a good question.

Why hasn't this Republican Congress (who is voting to impeach Pete Hegseth) released the Epstein files and reduced gas, housing, grocery and healthcare prices?

Inquiring minds want to know!

Trumpy is like a dog that keeps trying to eat its own vomit because he loves the smell of it.

Yup. There is something seriously wrong with Trumpy.

Early voting is still voting.

The people have spoken. Loud and clear. They disapprove of the direction this country was going. They voted for a course correction.

And all I see from Trumpy is two middle fingers.

Good luck with that.

"Some early voting dumps' were so large that it was impossible to win, no matter how many people went to vote," the president said.

Someone just figured out it was an unstoppable blue tsunami that just wiped out his power base.

Accountability is coming.

First we impeach Pete Hegseth.

Then Todd Blanche.

And then we go from there.

But you don't seriously think they won't be fight back?

Of course they will.

Politics is a blood sport.

There will be blood.

My advice is still..

Keep your head down your powder dry and choose your targets carefully.

Has boaz been a bot account the whole time?

Would not surprise me.

Same thing happened under Obama....

I am sorry to inform you that if even you keep digging that hole you won't end up back in China. You'll end up in the Indian Ocean.

Heck, it's against Islam to charge interest.

Yeah I saw that too and was immediately impressed.

Until I saw the fine print.

While no interest is allowed they are allowed to charge certain "fees". Which amazingly always seems to add up to the same amount as the current interest rate or very close. Just a coincidence I'm sure.

"If you think we fired a $2.5 million Tomahawk at what we knew to be a school.."

We fired a $2.5 million Tomahawk based on flawed data causing the U.S. military to commit a war crime.

Making the U.S. military (led by Whiskey Pete) the criminally negligent fools in this tragic scenario.

U.S. military assessments and investigative reports indicate that the strike was a catastrophic targeting error. U.S. Central Command officers reportedly used flawed, outdated intelligence data (including decade-old maps and imagery from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency) that failed to reflect that the school had been separated and walled off from the military compound years earlier.

Yes. Please.

Fight Fight Fight visitor!

It's much more fun that way.

I had no problem with Grant sending the troops home with a gun and a horse. Including General Lee.

But still think they should have hung Jefferson Davis.

Reconciliation was a complete failure and the country suffered for a hundred years after.

Lincoln's approach to reconciliation focused on rapidly restoring the Union with leniency toward the South rather than harsh retribution, framed around healing national division after the American Civil War." Leniency & forgiveness > harsh retribution.

Yes sure.

And how did that work out for Lincoln and the rest of the country?

"Pres Trump's White House had stated in a press release back in June 2025 that Iran's nuclear facilities had been obliterated."

Umm he has no idea so if you have ANY information on Iran's nuclear facilities Trumpy is offering $20 million dollars.

The thing is that if Iran's nuclear facilities were "obliterated" there would be no need for a war.

The stated purpose of the war (the main one) was to prevent Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. (Which by the way. They could just buy. From North Korea.)

But regardless if there are no functional nuclear weapons facilities then there is currently no need for a war (not there there ever was a need being as we already had a signed agreement with Iran that Trumpy tore up).

And the freefall continues.

Trumpy will burn it all down before he ever consents to recognize the will of the People.

The OpEd is behind a paywall, so I am unable to read it.

It's a thread posted by Dingaling.

It's safe to assume it's a burning bag of poop.

Now is not rhe time to take the foot off the pedal.

Maybe it's time to drive faster baby.

That is, maybe the Democrats need to be more ~mild.~

Or ...

Maybe the gloves need to come off and it's time to get down with the sickness.

Is Willowby looking for another school full of little girls to bomb?

Remember when bombing innocents especially hundreds of young innocent girls was frowned upon and even considered a war crime?

That was back when America really was Great.
