How can we be sure?
We don't know what stories of travail the waitress shares with him as he eats his breakfast at the diner, what pleas for a more aggressive foreign policy the guy in the waiting room makes to him while he's getting his oil changed, what stories the fellas on his bowling team tell.
This is brilliant!!! Blow it up, BSKY!
Oh. Great. Our president is a self-ordained privateer. WTF?
I've seen what I believe to be a painting of those same soldiers (victims of a gas attack in the First World War, I believe) in a multi-media presentation at the local (Kansas City) World War I museum. Powerful stuff. And a timely reminder. Thanks.
powerful. well done.

But Justice #Kavanaugh πsays detained citizens are only held briefly and then they're released and it's only a minor inconvenience!
So who you gonna believe a MAGA Court Justice & DHS or a citizen they kidnapped, took to another state, & then dropped off at a gas station in the middle off the night?
π―
apparently a serial & mass murderer who continues to commit apparently war crimes while supporting genocide?
Experts consider the possibility.
If a tree falls in the forest and there's no-one there to hear it, is Donald John Trump still a convicted felon & adjudicated sexual offender & alleged child rapist whom we have heard solicit election fraud and watched encourage insurrection in an effort to overthrow a national election and ...
I'm sure Melania, the film, broke a lot of records. But I'm less certain the new records are the sort of records one would typically boast about setting.

Photo: a view of the reconstructed facsimile of a medieval kitchen in the restored ChΓ’teau de Castelnaud. At the far left shelving has been built into a wall that's been painted white. It holds various kitchenware. Grey stone arches support the ceiling. The back wall and floor are similarly stone. Along the back wall, game is hung to cure β a boar, a pheasant, several hare, some quail β next to and over a large fireplace, large enough to walk into. In the foreground is a long wooden table, displaying pottery, fruits, and vegetables. Castelnaud-la-Chapelle, France 8 September 2025 OM-1 MarkII: Ζ/2.8, 1/30, 12mm, ISO200

so famously put it:
"Stay sexy.
"And don't get murdered!"
It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrentsβexcept at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, but bouncing harmlessly against the Pella windows
they're the worst of the worst alright
I can never walk past a sugar maple without saying Iβd tap that
However, Dunkin coffee, OTOH.
BTW, I live in Kansas City, and yesterday, while walking the dogs, I noticed there are as many Bills yard signs in my neighborhood as Chiefs yard signs.
This, too, will not help the Bills.
