How about if all of the 3 trillion dollar cost of the Iraq war should be paid by the right wing warmongers who supported it?

But no,of course, you want to punish liberals for their good impulses, but reward right wingers for their violence and hatred. That's a big part of the reason our country is so screwed up right now.

99% tax on the Warmongers and either they or two blood relatives (first cousins at a minimum) must do 3 year long tours?

The fact that Iraq was a MASSIVE disaster and we only ended our involvement 3 years ago and now the same chickenhawk cowards who were responsible are positioned to drop us back into it again is a testament to the US being a failed state.

If you don't think this whole thing was a ploy by this admin you may not be living in the real world. The real criminality are the parents of these kids and this admin who put them in harm's way.
Deny it all you want,but look who we are dealing with,the s---stirrer from Chicago.

Anon,
No, the criminals are those who refuse to help. Some view the opportunity to do righteous things as a gift, some see it as a burden. If there is a God and a judgment day, telling Him that you made sure that children were sent back to live a life a misery might not be the appropriate thing to say.

"a ploy by this admin"

Oh god...

A ploy. A plot. A secret plan. Something devious to achieve some vague aim that they could have done openly anyway, if they even wanted to. Cause that's all they ever do, Right?

Everything is a 'distraction'. Nothing is what it seems. It's all actually lizard people masterminding the NWO from their lunar death star.

Anonymous, let's make this clear: what you are saying is either a paranoid delusion or a malicious lie. Care to let us know which?

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

It Can't Happen Here

Trump has made his repeated promise to deport 20,000,000 minorities and foreigners a central feature of his campaign.  What does Trump intend to do with them?  History provides the key. And what history? The history of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, when another great power, seeking a cheap way to victimize a large part of its population to benefit the majority race, also started a program of mass "deportation" of minorities, in order to provide its majority race with more land, more money, more of everything, at the expense of the others.  There was a word for this: lebensraum, or "living space,"  the notion that the majority race deserved what it craved so much that it justified any abuse of those considered to be lesser humans.   Hitler proposed to "deport" Jews, Gypsies, Slavs and eventually all other non "Aryan" residents of the Third Reich.  The Nazis soon discovered that deportation was impossible; it was too expensive for Germany, and oth...
