Tucker also claimed a demon from Hell came into his bedroom one night and left scratch marks on him, and also that aliens (the outer space kind, not the migrant caravans who always materialize before an election) live in spaceships at the bottom of the Pacific and all world leaders know, but keep word of it from the masses, lest it cause "panic". It would seem the guy has some issues.

Passengers include the US National Figure Skating Team, the coaches and family members, plus 2 Russian skating champions.

As one with no superstitions, it's funny to see anyone thinking a made-up deity would choose such a clown for anything, other than----maybe---a Game Show. Most superstitions are based on some moral code. Since civilization itself takes care of the big things (murder, stealing, etc.), all that was left for any charlatan or crazy person who wanted to start a faith were silly rules, like what meats one could eat, dressing females like giant eggplants, etc. Despite that, the people calling themselves Christians are the funniest lot. Many of them think a guy who has broken at least 9 of the 10 so-called Commandments, and absolutely engaged in all 7 of what are called the "Deadlies", is hardly the person a deity would choose to do anything other than provide comic relief. At least 45/47 does that. When he's not threatening nuclear annihilation of all life, he's a joke. He's a dumb person's idea of a smart guy, and a loser's idea of a leader. By any faith, the guy is the textbook example of what deities tell followers NOT to be. Heck, Stormy didn't even want a First Coming, never mind an encore.

Oh my! Since you have a lot of free time, might I suggest you look up "cheated" in Merriam-Webster. Also, look at the term "democracy", and then the peculiarities of the US system, such as the Electoral College. The bloated crybaby was hammered both in the popular vote and the Electoral College. Democracy is not 'heads I win; tails you lose'. Now if you think you have actual evidence of any sort of cheating, you should have forwarded it to the authorities 4 years ago. Of course all you have is disinformation and fantasy.

So you prefer a nuclear war? You would have died. Up to you if you wish to make it so, despite having your life saved by Gen Milley. There is something dreadfully wrong with MAGAs.

By the way, even before his loss in 2020, 45 asked the Joint Chiefs about attacking Iran. He thought if he attacked Iran and got the US into a shooting war before November 2020, that would help him at the polls. As they did after his loss, the adults in the room entered and stopped the insecure little crybaby self-serving child from starting a war. There are no adults in his 2nd Administration. That is not good.

It is quite possible you are alive today because of Gen Milley (though I'm not sure the species is better off for that). After his loss and inability to accept defeat, 45 actually asked the Defense Dept about nuking China. He though if he started a nuclear war, he could declare a national emergency and remain in power. 45 was mouthing off about his idea in sessions with the Joint Chiefs, and Gen Milley feared that 45's total lack of control and whining about losing might have the guy Tweet or say something in a presser, which would get China to react and launch a pre-emptive nuclear strike on the US. Gen Milley called his counterpart in China and told the general to ignore any bizarre statements and that adults were in control. Included in the adults, who discussed this matter and agreed Gen Milley should make the call were SecDef Esper, SecState Pompeo, and DCI Haspel. There are a precious few people in history who saved the world from nuclear holocaust. Two are Russian and one is General Milley.

Since you don't know anything, I can (try to) help. Senior 4 stars, particularly those on the Joint Chiefs, "know stuff" that hostile actors---such as Putin---might want to know. The security detail is considered an investment in national security. Perhaps you should have asked: "Why does a former President, especially one who tried to overthrow the democratically-elected government and who stole hundreds of highly classified documents, need---even deserve---Secret Service protection? Didn't I see on his NFTs that he's a fighter pilot and an astronaut? A guy that gifted ought to be able to take care of himself."

You must be one of those Internet Tough Guys. Signing up for the invasion are you? Put your body where your mouth is? Or maybe you're an old, obese coward like your messiah? Yes, that's it. It's vile people who think killing innocent people, as a military action would, is okay just because a bloated crybaby convicted felon wants more land. I do hope if 47 pulls that crap, decent NATO nations fire a couple of Cruise missiles into the White House and Mar-a-Lago. Or maybe seize the clown and do a old style Viking Blood Eagle on the South Lawn. They would be fully justified. Check you calendar, MAGAs. It's 2025, not 1750. Imperialism is dead.

He's a psychopath. He's incapable of empathy. He thinks the situation people like Syrian refugees are in is their own fault. He cannot understand why they can't be "great" like him, forgetting that he was given and inherited half a billion dollars and had daddy co-sign all of his loans while he was failing. He forcefully cleared out a peaceful protest (he hates the 1st Amendment) so he could go stand in front of a church to hold a Bible upside down. Obviously he has never read the book, where the lead character speaks of 'loving thy neighbor as thyself'. I don't know if the US had a good name around the rest of the world, but certainly he has done more in a single week to erase any good feeling anybody might have had. The bone spurs coward is acting all 1750 again, thinking he can use military force (and put others in harm's way) to take Greenland. Of course if a Code Pink demonstration happens outside the White House, the coward will run down to the bunker like he did when he was #45....and when a WH staffer told someone in the media, he said the staffer should be executed for treason. What a guy! Self-serving, Narcissistic, psychopathic, self-serving, cowardly Beta male pretending he's Alpha.

In my "gap year" during university time, I did the world tour thing, ending up living on a kibbutz in Israel, though I'm not Jewish. On the Sabbath, each 'volunteer' was invited to a home of one of the residents. My regular host was an elderly gentleman who had survived one of the camps. He had the number tattooed on his arm. He was a delightful fellow. We never spoke of his experience, but other folks on the kibbutz told me he had been neutered as part of an "experiment" while a prisoner in the camp, his manliness removed. That he could be the kind and welcoming host he was, inviting a stupid young American, full of advantages he had never had, was a tribute to his personal strength and goodness. Obviously I knew of the Holocaust long before traveling to Israel, but I had a front row education as to its gruesome reality. My US girlfriend at that time had a grandad who was among the first troops into Dachau, and he could barely speak of what he saw. Many things make the Holocaust terrible, the scale being one, but the brutality and evil that came from what was perhaps the most technologically advanced society at that time is what led Hannah Arendt to coin the phrase 'the banality of evil'. Maybe one can rationalize or understand (tough to come up with the proper term) such terror taking place in a relatively primitive society---maybe---but for it to come from 1930-40s Germany is incomprehensible. Are we all so susceptible to madness and savagery, needing only a particular set of circumstances (hyperinflation of 1921) and a character whose charisma I can never understand? Sadly, I see that incomprehensible "charisma" again today, and an ease where folks drift into irrational hatred of "others". Some complain we are too often reminded of what happened, with a string of movies and "Remembrance Days". Well, a people who lost half of their ethnic group are understandably and righteously driven to remind us of what happened, and what can happen again. The Holocaust is the most egregious example of the blackness of the human heart, and we should be continually reminded of what's possible, even in a "civilized" society.

DeepSeek was developed for almost nothing (~$5.6 million), and apparently to maximize its value one won't need the fancy chips NVIDIA is making. Thus, NVIDIA lost $560 billion in market cap on 1/27/25. Also, the subscription models of ChatGPT and others were obviated, since anybody can choose open source DeepSeek for free, or close to it. I'm beginning to think the $500 billion AI plan the President announced last week is just a thinly disguised Oligarch bailout, as the tech sector suddenly isn't worth the multiple the market gave it. I wonder if tech insiders are going to be dumping even more? I wonder how bad margin calls are going to be for all the leveraged buyers of tech? I wonder what company Musk is actually going to run, or will he go full DOGE, as Twitter is worth very little compared to what he paid, $40-80,000 Teslas are in a market with $12-25,000 BYDs, and his rocket just blew up last week (2nd stage) and rained debris all over the Caribbean. I think we've seen lots of peaks in the last week....Peak Musk, Peak Equity Market, andalready Peak 47's Presidency. It's all downhill from here.

Under Biden, there were an average of two commercial flights a week bringing undocumented Colombians back home. The new President decided that using military C-17s looked cooler and more aggressive, and of course the coward is all about show. The Colombian government objected to US MILITARY aircraft coming. Commercial craft was long okay. 47 then threatened Colombia with sanctions, and the price of coffee soared on commodity markets. I suspect there was also concern that Junior might have cried that his "habit" would cost more...sniff.....sniff. This new POTUS doesn't seem to think ANYTHING through. In just one week he has alienated a good portion of the civilized world. Here are some repercussions one should consider: ---China and Japan are discussing selling all of their US Treasury holdings, which amounts to $trillions. That could send US interest rates to the moon. ---China, Russia and other nations are talking about setting the yuan as the international currency to be used by the BRICS and even ASEAN, both in trade and as central bank reserves. ---The US imports 35% of its oil from Canada, along with lots of wood products. The 25% tariff that will go into effect Saturday is going to raise prices at the pump as well as the cost of housing. ---The US imports heavy crude from Mexico, needed by US refineries that crack that style of petroleum. It's going to cost more. ----Many US automakers source parts from factories in Mexico. Production is going to slow, likely with US auto workers being laid off. Apparently MAGAs think new US factories can be built and go into production in an afternoon, rather than years. ---The deportation orders have scared undocumented workers in the US. Yes, MAGAs, lots of undocumented people work, rather than rape and murder, as 47 likes to claim. Already many are not showing up to work, fearing capture and deportation. This is hitting the citrus groves, where it's harvest time. Expect prices at the grocery to surge. ---Undocumented migrants also work in US abattoirs, so if they stay off the job, the prices of pork, beet and chicken is going to go up a lot. Who is 47 going to blame when his KFC extra crispy bucket shoots up in price?

Danes, for one, probably aren't going to be too happy, though I suspect they would only take it out on 47. Maybe send a hit squad. Maybe Panamanians are also going to get a little miffed. They can be much nastier than Danes. If the guy keeps it up, I do think it's likely some nations will start taking it out on American expats. Personally, I would like Thailand to set a much more reasonable target for funds in the banks. Anybody can post 800K baht. Better, in the interest of only allowing "quality" residents, that Thailand up the amount to say, 10-25,000,000 baht for retirees, marriage visas, etc. Get rid of the riff raff. Some countries require as much as $1 million, which would be quite reasonable and certainly allow only "quality" residents. I think MAGAs are probably itching to go home anyway, seeing that they think America is going to be "great" again, whatever that means in MAGAstan.

Imitating their master by being willfully ignorant, MAGAs have no clue what the job of Inspector General is, and the LAW in place that outlines the procedure for dismissing them. Even Lindsey admitted the President broke the law, but Lindsey said "so what". After Nixon, the IG positions were established to monitor activity in their agency, making sure proper rules and procedures are followed. For example, if an agency grants a contract to an outside firm, the IG checks it over to make sure there are no payments or sweetheart deals, with bloated contracts being handed to favored parties who offer kickbacks to agency managers. Obviously that sort of thing gets in the way of how 47 wants to run government. If he cannot be corrupt---as courts have determined he has been in everything from running a charity, a fake university, dealing with banks and insurers---I guess he doesn't want the job.

Good news for MAGAs! Lots of jobs now available! Because of the program of mass deportation, many undocumented farm workers are staying home, fearful of being rounded up and deported, especially since their kids have US citizenship, so cannot be deported. Right now the primary impact is on citrus farms, as now is the harvest season for all your favorite Vitamin C carriers. Soon it will be other produce. It's even going to impact abattoirs where chickens are slaughtered and end up in the KFC buckets your messiah so favors. He's going to get really angry, and likely blame Biden, if his extra crispy bucket shoots up in price. Unless you MAGAs drop the SSDI and hit the farms, produce is going to rot. That will result in huge price rises. Now farmers are not going to pay you minimum wage, because that would render their business unprofitable, but you can show both your patriotism and fealty to the President by stepping in where undocumented workers have left gaping holes. You can assume their wage levels and keep produce coming to market. Don't like farming? How about hotel room cleaning? Imagine if your messiah travels somewhere and has to make his own bed and clean his own toilet, because the hospitality staff---many of whom are undocumented---are staying home out of fear. Wouldn't you be honored to scrub the toilet where your hero did his business, likely while Tweeting?

Do you fap to pictures of your love muffin? You have absolutely no clue what the US is supposed to be, and your continual use of "Socialist" or "Marxist" just is irrefutable proof of your lack of education and abject ignorance. You should be deported, maybe to Russia or North Korea.

I believe the Pentagon is obliged to attack the aggressor, which means sending a couple of Tomahawk Cruise Missiles into the Oval Office. I guess some patriots could also set up a gallows in Lafayette Square and then storm the White House to eradicate the vermin.

If we're going back to Imperialist/Colonialist/War Monger days, I think German should try to get the UK again. The UK is a pretty useless country, and Germany might make something of it, turn it into a winner, instead of the loser it is now..

So you will go volunteer to fight for the Neo Imperialist? Or do you have bone spurs like the Coward-in-Chief?

What is my IQ? Higher than a turnip. Higher than yours. That's good enough. Incidentally, I was given an IQ test under controlled conditions by a former employer. I know how I scored, thus, I know it's both higher than a turnip and higher than you. Thanks for asking. Now back to the scourge of Neo-Imperialism.

GG, let me paraphrase Oscar Wilde: "People may boo me, but when I go home and think of my money smell my Speed Stick, I applaud myself." Those who know, know; those who don't.....well, their loss. The fragrance is quite subtle, just enough to get in the way of even the most fastidious, who---despite 3-4 showers a day and fresh cotton or linen shirts---know we're still human. Also, it is a deodorant, not an antiperspirant, so it doesn't clog pores nor stain shirts. One doesn't lather it on, but rather just a quick swipe. As for those saying they don't exude anything unpleasant ever....one gets enured to one's own emanations; others do not. Best to "air" (sic) on the side of caution, when in polite company. Natural scent as nature intended? Tell that to Coco Chanel, Estee Lauder, Dior, etc., who made fortunes helping women attract both wanted and unwanted attention. If it's good enough for the goose, etc. Personally, a quick swipe is my only affectation and only departure from my state of nature; I do not ever wear cologne. We all pick our poison...what we eat and drink, what products we use, if we venture into the sun, fly at FL400 and catch gamma radiation, dare to breathe in Thailand, reside in a home above ground filled with radon, etc. I've decided a quick swipe is a poison I'm willing to risk. It seems to have benefits.

Trash? You know them? I suspect you're an expert on trash, as in 'takes one to know one'. Grow up.

MAGAs tried to claim their messiah was just playing 3-dimensional chess when he spoke about taking Greenland…by military force, if necessary. Those who have IQs > turnips know better. We know the guy only says what he believes and what he intends, no matter how bizarre or whacked out it is, just like when he thought nuking hurricanes or injecting disinfectant were good ideas coming from his “really stable genius” mind. He still thinks he wowed psychologists by repeating “Man Women Person Camera TV”, as if any five year old couldn’t do it. Well, he called the PM of Denmark---the nation holding Greenland since 1380---and told her she had a choice of giving it to him, selling it, or he would take it by military force. He also threatened imposing punitive tariffs on Denmark if they fail to bend to his bloated will. Somebody tell the bone spurs coward that it’s 2025, and the days of Imperialism are long since dead. If he does try to send US troops to steal the island, one should not be surprised if Putin decides to take back Alaska. Certainly, Putin has more claim to Alaska than the US has to Greenland. Until “Seward’s Folly”, Alaska was a part of Russia, and the State is certainly closer to Russia than it is to the continental US. Plus, Denmark has held Greenland for almost 500 years longer than the US held Alaska. Putin could re-rename Denali something like Dzerzhinsky Peak or Mt Beria. The clown is going to make Americans personna non grata in every decent country on the face of the Earth. I wouldn't blame nations who might decide to ban entry to Americans, and send any American home who is currently resident. Americans are becoming a vermin the civilized world does not need. Maybe all the MAGAs here, who support everything our convicted felon does, will volunteer for active duty in the Battle of Greenland? No, like their messiah, they’re likely cowards.

NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter took these low level images of the 6 Apollo landing sites. The tracks of the vehicle and footsteps are visible. Yea, Lunartics, I know...probably Photoshopped. Give it up. 12 men have walked on the moon. Even Putin knows.
