indeed. it is amazing what humans can rationalize the Admiral had an hour to consider the second strike and a third even the first was illegal

everything's newer here. cleaner. clear skies people are polite so, no i don't miss the narrow, congested streets, old houses. clouds --what my father called, the "rat race" that eventually stopped his heart but i went back 15 years ago in september like a salmon returning to it's place of birth there was something in the nature -- air, trees, wildlife, proximity to the ocean that was familiar and comforting and the people do seem more real and upfront to me more revealing flaws and all

if you disagree with the GOP on this the opposite is "unlawful" and "unnecessary" not TROUBLING to just about every Democrat besides Newsom, Bernie, AOC and a few others, every despicable, disgraceful, immoral, and illegal act by this administration and Congress this year has been "TROUBLING"

“AI denialism” is rising because society is “collectively entering the first stage of grief.” Big ThinkThe rise of AI denialismComputer scientist Louis Rosenberg argues that dismissing AI as a “bubble” or mere “slop” ignores the tectonic technological shift now unfolding.

GOP rep Tom Cotton says the 2 boat hanger-ons were: "trying to continue the FIGHT." sure. the fight for life "they tried to turn the boat over" sure. who wouldn't in the middle of the ocean. we've all seen the explosions. aint much boat left "they tried to communicate on their phones" duh

swamp report:

imo, the DNC borders on the 3rd option, closely related to option 2, which is closer to describing the RNC an example of how out of touch the Dem Party is with the voters is that a national Quinnipiac Poll found that 77 percent of Democrats “think Israel is committing genocide.” but only 10% of the Democrats in Congress voted for a resolution titled “Recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza.” the huge difference is likely because only 10% are willing to say what the people who elected them say.

the Admiral will say in the hearing tomorrow, that the survivors were blown apart 2,000 miles away because they were "trying to complete the mission" to, allegedly, deliver illegal drugs somewhere. it won't be televised -- which spares us from watching Senators, including many Democrats, asking questions predicated on the false "narco terrorist" premise to begin with. Neither president nor secretary of war nor admiral is judge, jury, and executioner i'm thinking GUILTY! impeachment court martial jail but then, who am i to say?

news today that Mathew Perry's doctor who sold him the dangerous drugs is going to prison for 2.5 years. i don't get it. Why the trial and jail expense when the administration could have just blow him up months ago?

oh, look. CNN finally prints a story on Why America cares so much about Venezuela's oil

i'd like to add that for some folks, like me, there's a lot to be said for independence. Freedom. Time to find what fulfills you and indulge in it. since you are more social than i am -- you could explore things that involves interaction. Movie clubs, book clubs, political groups, animal groups, pickle-ball groups, card groups. There is a site called NextDoor that might have groups. Meet-Up used to be popular, but i don't know how active they are now. Covid derailed some things. i did set out for this site to be a tool for those kinds of connections. And it can get there, in time. also. How about the concept of volunteering. Sounds like a great way to meet someone sensitive, caring and nurturing. yes?

since today's mainstream American media needs it spelled out before they give it the focus it needs -- here it is... but since this President's unwritten manual is to throw anyone else under the bus -- the commanding Admiral is being blamed perfect irony for the asswipes (including Stephen A Smith) who were busy whining about the Dem Senators who spoke out against illegal orders a few days ago! so. Has the media mentioned what the punishment is for the war crime of murder? or do we have to look that up in the manual ourselves?

most politicians won't bite the hand that feeds them. Bernie talks about it without singling out the industry. I think to the general public it comes across as a conspiracy theory. It IS a conspiracy. To the conspirators, it's BUSINESS. The horrors of war are the cost of doing business, like lung cancer was to the tobacco industry.

i changed the title again, to the even more appropriate "the oil industry has an army!"

i appropriately changed the title to "the FAKE war on drugs"

congratulations to Hegseth for topping the list of the new administration staff to most likely to go to jail (if you still believe justice can be served) the murder of over 100 in international waters was already an illegality now, with the orders and execution of survivors, the crime is irrefutable even between war combatants it is illegal to execute unarmed enemy survivors -- and certainly not suspected drug smugglers outside our country somebody has been watching too much Breaking Bad the friggin guy was just a bad news model a few months ago now he's telling career generals they're fat and giving orders to "kill everyone."

I believe the main theft of election 2024 was stolen judgement and loss of critical thinking in the face of a crisis of dishonesty: a daily stream of LIES served on a platform called "TRUTH Social" by a leader the Washington Post tracked with 30,573 "false or misleading claims". 24 hour cable news LIES pitched as "fair & balanced" by a network that had to pay $787 million for lying about the prior election. a Supreme Court ruling called "Citizens United" that effectively allows corporations to divide citizens by funding LIES that benefit corporations. the Press bullied into NOT asking tough questions or fact-checking. Politician's lies are merely called "misleading" and Illegalities are framed as "raising eyebrows." In short, election 2024 was a fabri-sham-mockery! Too many Americans voted against their own best interests -- because their emotions were manipulated by lies! The immediate aftermath of the fake election: 31 LIARS from FOX were hired to fill key government positions. 14 Cabinet positions filled by billionaire campaign donors.
