Gonzo in Houston

Honestly, I don’t think anyone really expected an improvement. He was selected for his bootlicking skills.

I have never agreed with any candidate on 100% of the issues, and it doesn’t bother me. I know they aren’t perfect; I just want them to be the best available option.

Trump’s role model

It’s about all that could end the War of Distraction.

He could be the first player voted into the HoF while still an active player! (I know there’s a rule against it, but he’s that good)

$200 bil for something Trump wants? No sweat, they’ll just take it out of Social Security.

Remember, when a pubber speaks in public, they’re performing for Trump. He’s the whole audience, and for a juvenile bully like Trump, that stunt was gold. That childish display won him a cabinet post.

If someone changes their story more than twice, they’re lying, and this administration is changing their story hourly. If they can’t clearly state verifiable reasons for going to war, then don’t go! And if you’re American, don’t go with him!

High turnout always favors the democrats, so pubbers want to restrict voting as much as possible

And the requirements will change on no notice, based on your political leanings and/or skin color.

“Probably”. Be very wary.

There’s going to be a lot of inappropriate behavior in public when he goes. I plan on doing a lot of it!

Guess we should have paid attention to what was happening in Ukraine, huh? The technology of war changed right before our eyes and our vaunted defense contractors couldn’t keep up. We have some good stuff in development, but too little, too late.

I wonder how many of his inner circle already have signed pardons in a safe somewhere? If they don’t then they’re even more stupid than they are corrupt

This off-season has felt longer than most. Maybe it’s all the insanity and ugliness in the news. I have a serious need for some vroom-vroom and a few “how did he do that?” moments.

Let’s call this one the War of Distraction. Trump is trying to use it to distract from the Epstein files. Netanyahu is using it to distract from the genocide in Gaza. (Narrator - It isn’t working for either of them.)

Iran was as close to having a nuclear weapon as Trump was to having a heath care plan. Just two weeks away!

Could have been waiting for clearance to land. The destination airport might have been temporarily closed due to the fighting. Or maybe some filthy rich MF was getting laid in style!

To Trump, MAGA means Trump. Loyalty, obedience and support of Trump in all ways and cases. If he wants war, you want war. If he wants vaccines, you want vaccines. A cult of personality.

The principles are well-intentioned, but this boils down to “I get what I want on my issue(s) or I take my ball and go home and Trump can burn down the nation for all I care”. This is a big part of how he got elected.

This war is being run by the Wit Brothers:
Dim Wit
Half Wit
Nit Wit.

All this just to confirm you’re the right sex to use a particular bathroom?

When he goes into it, just weld the door shut.

Alternate dinner with Colbert as MC. Put a pile of actual bull shit at a table as a stand-in for Trump.

Like a child saying “I hit him back first”

The US is discovering that defending against a single ballistic missile is one thing, but defending against 200 cheap drones is quite another. We’re using multi-million dollar missiles to shoot down $30,000 drones, and even we can’t do that forever.

The GOP loves to mock AOC for having been a bartender. She should lean into her working class background. Instead of a $1,000/plate dinner fundraisers, she should get behind the bar and make $1,000 martinis.

And for the US anti-abortion zealots, under Judaism, the baby is not a person until it draws its first breath. An Israeli woman can get an abortion the day before delivery and the state will pay for it.

After seeing the development of drone warfare in Ukraine, I wondered how the US was doing in anti-drone weapons. Answer; not so good. We need cheap solutions; either old-fashioned AA guns or lasers. (Lasers are expensive but cost per shot is minimal)

AWACS? Tanker? Bomber waiting for Hegseth to make up his mind on a target? Local royal family debating escape?
