True story. When I was 17, in 1987, my older brother, 19, thought it would be funny to light a bag of 🐕 💩 on our neighbor’s front porch, then ring their doorbell. Instead of waiting to ensure that they answered the door to stomp the fire, and the dogs poop, out, he went into our garage to get high.
I went into our front porch to smoke a cigarette and immediately noticed that our neighbor’s front porch was on fire. I knew my brother was responsible cause he was an idiot. I ran to tell my brother then across the street to wake my neighbors. My brother, instead of calling the fire department, ran across the street and successfully extinguished the fire.
Our town newspaper wrote that my brother was a hero. I mean. Seriously? That’s what Trump does. He fucks up, kinda fixes it, then declares himself a hero while the MAGGOTS stupidly cheer.
I’m so tired of this game. The thing is, my brother did stop my neighbor’s entire house from burning down, but their front porch was still burnt and ruined. The entire front of their house was scorched. Their flower beds were destroyed. The damage was done.
Good story… I remember poo bag was a thing. But, you are right and what is more sinister are his motivations which are always of monetary gain to self.
To bring up another controversy that I didn't really hear anything about Trump's roll in the disasterous withdrawal from Afghanistan. I'm not trying to excuse Biden and the mistakes he made but it was TRUMP who unleashed 5000 Taliban prisoners in the beginning of 2020 without even talking to the Afghan government. Even for him it didn't seem to make sense.
I had no problems with recalling American troops from Afghanistan. It was about time. But the timetable that Trump gave the Taliban for us to be gone wasn't feasible according to General Milly (sp?) due to all the US military equipment that needed to be brought back. The US didn't make Trump's timeline and after a while I guess the Taliban was tired of waiting.
I very much doubt that what we saw in Afghanistan would ever have happened if those who did the killing weren't let out in the first place.
I hoped we were free of Trump even if I thought that that was just wishful thinking.
Totally correct : Congress is non existent. Trump has had them castrated. Trump presently has immunity. Checks and balances are minimal at best. Hidden in the Big Bad Bill is the section dealing with the Judicial branch. Labeled Attack on the Judicial Branch. If it is past will give Mr. Trump full rein to run amok.
Trump is the epitome of what’s called a “crazy-maker.” A chaotic/malignant rug-puller who exists perpetually in a delusional present moment; in denial of his past and incognizant of his future. He exists exclusively to serve himself—and do so poorly; aggressively compensating for his own instability by knocking off-balance everyone else around himself with a firehose of fallacies, fabrications and high pressure double-binds.
Shan Wu is a sane-maker. And I am grateful to him for that.

Famous gaslighting from narcissistic behaviors.

That's what really pisses me off. He always does this and most of corporate news suddenly forget that he put out his own fire.

Tramp pulled out of the 2015 nuclear agreement in 2018. This has a lot to do with our current situation
Omg , Gen. Patton would hate Donald Trump. I’m no fan of Patton but he was Army all day.

Can "lethality" be quantified. Dead is dead. More lethal = more dead?
Great analysis tying together how we used to operate and then congress really failing miserably to do their job.
ALOHA...
