But Trump said the war was won. And Fox also said the war was over – all due to Trump's brilliance.

It's almost like we can't trust either of these sources.

Is it won or not? Is it a war or not? Do we have a congress or not?

Answer key:
Not.
War.
Not.

Rats, Lice and History book cover

This book's argument? Until only recently, wars were won not by strategies or weapons but by disease.

The good old days!

It's worth a read. I "enjoyed" it.

This is 100% the opening scene of a sci-fi movie.

"Hey, this plant looks like an ear! I wonder what will happen if I talk into it?"

"No! Don't… Oh, fuck."

There is no DOJ.
It’s just Trump Legal now.

We just re-watched V. (1983 version.)

This is far more accurate, but maybe not as well written.

Hoo-doo!

Keep posting these, please.

There will be no bolt of lightning.

No one with any authority believes he is at all religious. Only the MAGA faithful will lap this up.

If you actually believe in Christianity and you think this is OK, you had better dress for very warm weather after you die.

Never heard of SOLD, but now I want to read it.

Is there an analysis of banned books vs. education ranking by state? I'd imagine it'd be close to the inverse.

I am more sure that this same chart would move from deep red to purple to dark blue as we read it downwards.

Please GoP … ban my books!

Insiders placing bets on death makes it close to 100% likely it will happen.

Not good.

He didn't write this. Maybe it was an intern or one of a hunderd others with access to his account?

I'd like to see a few counties in PA from 2024, actually.

Department Obstructing Justice. Still DOJ. Just far more accurate.

Just finished V, the original mini-series (1983) and it was a documentary of the future, our present times.

Shown here: local cops helping the fascists murder and subjugate civilians.

If only we could have seen this coming.

But the DOJ will move fast to give Trump his $10B for the 2020 election bullshit. That’s why Blanche was installed.

Theft.

Plain and simple.

GOP-backed.

Fox News said the war is over, executed masterly, and Iran unconditionally surrendered.

Also, Trump said the strait was fully open, never to be closed again.

What are you talking about with all this 'still negotiating' stuff?

Hands are broken off and lying at the bottom.

Fox News as a clock.

Of course I can't for sure know this.

But it seems to be a "barrier" number (big, round, 2 digits) and from rough math a while ago, it'll make transportation unfeasible for ~25-33% of day-to-day needs.

There's a point when enough people simply can't & won't pay. I think that's $10/gallon.

Just finished Rosewater by @tadethompson.bsky.social.

Now reading The Swan's Daughter by Roshani Chokshi, because I saw a recommendation on here with a list of other books they liked and I really enjoyed most of those.

Also poking at Seneca's Dialogues and Letters.

The world will change when gas in the USA hits $10/gallon. It will happen. But will it be soon eoungh?

It was a joke.

But good to know that not everyone here in the USA buys the 'dark at night' and 'the wind doesn't always blow' bullshit about renewable energy.

That being said, we now have the counter argument: Sometimes the Strait of Hormuz is closed.

Yes, I should have been more clear, but the post I replied to talked about removing solar panels from the White House, so I assumed this thread was about how the USA was impeding its (our) own future.

And we are. Bigly. Because we've been hijacked by outdated profiteers.

We need this sign on planes. And in restaurants. And…

I guess we've fallen.

Bingo!

Doesn't the sun also go down in Spain? I'm confused how this works when it's dark out.

Batteries, you say? Wish we had some of those in the US.

And I wrote sixteen words today in mine. I think you win.

Congrats!

Because we are not. We're steadily moving down all the rankings, especially for education which is the leading indicator of future performance.

Trump is enriching Trump. Anyone he helps make (read: steal) money is expected to give him a portion in return.

Putin and (formerly) Orban are playbooks.

Nothing is done with an intention other than moving USA's money to his pockets.

He's the world's most successful conman. And we elected him.

Mainly, the reason you start a company is to make money.

That's why Trump started this war.

When you say he's doing something regarding the war to make money for himself & his insiders, I counter with: This was the original intention.

His goal, in all cases, is moving our money into his pocket.
