Not surprising...

Shouldn't they just retitle RFKjr (in the well established Hegsethian manner) as the Secretary of Disease?

It turns out Carlson's apology was for backing someone (i.e., Trump) who turned out not far right enough...

Q: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log in

PATEL: Survey -- how many of you people believe that's true?

Q: Did you communicate that you thought you were fired?

PATEL: It never happened. You are lying.

Q: The lawsuit says the opposite!

Kehysriihi | Hallituksen neuvottelut kesken: Jakeluvelvoitetta ei alenneta, keskusta hyökkää perussuomalaisia vastaan Hallituksen kehysriihi jatkuu keskiviikkona mahdollisesti iltaan asti.

Argh, olen pettynyt niin persuihin kuin keskustaankin tässä bensan hinta -asiassa. Fossiilisten polttoaineiden hinnan pitää nousta, jotta niitä käytettäisiin vähemmän. Ilmastokriisi vaatii sitä, ja riippuvuus Venäjästä ja muista öljyvaltioista on syytä saada loppumaan heti.

Hauska juttu: Donald Trump on suurin piirtein samoissa luvuissa USAssa. 😝

Olen erittäin huolestunut maamme tilanteesta. Mietin että ovatkohan kaikki ymmärtäneet millaista jälkeä nyt esitetyt järjestöjen leikkaukset saavat aikaan vielä perusturvaleikkausten päälle? Jos teillä on läheisiä, jotka vaarassa joutua tyhjän päälle, niin nyt ottakaa koppia!

Lähes kaikki väärin — Googlen tekoäly-yhteenveto antaa toistuvasti virheellistä tietoa tekoälykuvista Käänteinen kuvahaku on yksi tärkeimmistä ellei peräti tärkein yksittäinen faktantarkistustyökalu.

"Googlen tekoäly-yhteenveto väittää kuvaa aidoksi huolimatta siitä, että siitä löytyy Googlen oma tekoälyvesileima. Tästä voi päätellä, että Googlen tekoäly-yhteenveto ei osaa tarkistaa edes yhtiön omaa vesileimaa, joka on tarkoitettu tekoälykuvien tunnistamiseen." faktabaari.fi/fakta/lahes-...

Has Chris Wright, perhaps, been dead already for years?

Possibly from the inside?

Trump Insists He Would Have Won War He Dodged Donald Trump insisted he would have ended the Vietnam War in five months.

The lesson of Vietnam and Iraq appears to be that USA should not go into a war – even against seemingly weaker enemy – unless USA really, really has to.

However, Trump has learned ... well, nothing.

Silti parasta vain toivoa, että Trumpin jälkeen MAGA-liike hajoaa sisäisiin ristiriitoihinsa..

Tosin aika iso ylämäki Carlsonilla olisi nousta GOPin presidenttiehdokkaaksi.

Toisaalta näin ajateltiin 2015 Trumpista.

Samaan aikaan huojentava – mutta myös huolestuttva – seikka on, että Carlson ei ole – kuten Trump – idiootti.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump THE WALL STREET JOURNAL HAS LOST ITS WAY! An IDIOT on The Wall Street Journal's Editorial Board, named Elliot Kaufman, just wrote an Op Ed entitled, "The Iranians Take Trump for a Sucker." Really? For 47 years, they have killed our people, and many others, and taken advantage of every President, except me - And what did I give to them, a Country in tatters! Their entire Navy is at the bottom of the Sea, their Air Force is gone, their Anti Aircraft and Radar is wiped out, their Nuclear Labs and Storage Areas were OBLITERATED late one dark June evening by our Great B-2 Bombers, their leaders are DEAD, including General Soleimani, their evil genius who destroyed the lives of so many with his favored roadside bombs, the Strait of Hormuz is BLOCKADED and totally controlled by the U.S., with no Ships allowed to go to Iranian Ports - It is said that they are losing 500 Million Dollars a day because of this - Their Country is an Economic Catastrophe, that is hanging by a thread. Barack Hussein Obama gave them 1.7 Billion Dollars in "Green" Cash, flown in by a Boeing 757 to their leaders, and Hundreds of Billions of Dollars in order to help them on their way to a Nuclear Bomb. Other Presidents did nothing to stop them, a BLIGHT on the Office of the Presidency! But despite all of this, I have a MORON on the Editorial Board of The Wall Street Journal writing about me being taken for a "sucker." Iran certainly doesn't think so! Neither does anyone else. I guess Rupert Murdoch told him to write it this way, because The Wall Street Journal has lost its way, no longer required reading, just another failing political "RAG!" President DONALD J. TRUMP

The criticism is starting to get to him.

He’s not psychologically capable of dealing with it.

Talouspolitiikkaa logiikalla:

Clear case of Rule of man vs. rule of law.

He simply wants to be a King.
