America "fuck yeah" v2025 and v2007

Think drilling a couple survivors of an air strike is new?

How soon some forget.

Remember "Collateral Murder"?

Baghdad 2007... TWO Reuters journalists were inadvertently killed and then almost a dozen rescuers killed/injured including children...

I'd say this is Americana, through and through...

But the victor writes the history, right?

Sad.

Gerrymandering is about to become the new 50 State norm.

Do you think ANY State is going to go back if 40+ States do it?

Might as well assign all House seats to the Party with the majority in the State house.

First Texas, then California... then Virginia then North Carolina... then GA and KS and IL and MD... etc etc...

The problem is... you can't have one state that does it the right way... with Independent Commissions... and another that stacks the deck.

So it's all going to be gerrymandered... and SCOTUS is going to be giving permission for Red States to disregard minorities in drawing lines...

Random thoughts about the SS Totenkopf "Death Head" symbol and tattoo...

First... any soldier in the last 25 years has played video games like the call of Duty series portraying WW2...

The "Totenkopf" symbol didn't start in WW2, it was an Imperial German symbol back into the 1800's... but was adopted as the direct representative of the SS... both the military and civilian side.

Remember this?

A group of "Scout Snipers" of the USMC thought an SS flag would be kinda cool...



So re: the Democratic candidate in ME... it's highly unlikely he really knew the social stigma surrounding the symbol... or even much about the history.

The ADL has commented on the topic acknowledging the possibility of a mistake and how it's important to show regret and understanding later.

So... it's a logo that was 100% related to the last image millions of people had in their eyes before death... it was the image that Russian civilians would peek out their windows to see if the soldiers in the streets had the standard Wehrmacht uniform or the SS Deaths Head logo...



And then it's also the symbol of the best tanks of 'World of Tanks" video game...

So... total condemnation... or will he be given a chance to talk about it?

I'm not a Mainer, so not my business...

Anyone who idolizes Hitler is historically illiterate.

I always laugh when I see these folks who put Hitler on some sort of pedestal.

To be honest... he fails on pretty much every line.

He was a little dude... not an Aryan marvel, possibly Jewish ancestors... not athletic, not particularly smart.
Was an acceptable foot soldier but not a hero or even an officer...

As a war strategist, he was awful... I mean truly terrible. Just about every decision was flawed and then he started overruling the Generals who were smart... replacing his own idiocy for their experience.

Oh but a great author right? Not really... Hess probably wrote or corrected large sections of Mein Kampf...

A great proponent of Aryan faith too? Not really. He got swept up in the pseudo science and rantings of Himmler and others...

Even the Nazis who love the Holocaust angle of Hitler... it wasn't even his idea. He was cool with settling them in Madagascar.

It was the Nazi bean counters who said it was cheaper to kill them...

He spent the last year of his life drugged out of his skull, as a madman overruling his Generals, moving phantom armies and demanding attacks from forces that didn't exist.

And then surrounded on all sides, put a gun to his head.

There is/was nothing to idolize about Hitler... he was a clownish little dwarf with a double digit IQ and an overbearing sense of self.

Those morons walking around with nazi paraphernalia are repping for one of the biggest clowns in history.

Democratic Party hits lowest polling numbers since Q'Pac started polling Party Approval.

Don't shoot the messenger!

IMHO... we need to go BACK to the future, take back the populist badge from MAGA.

Thirty percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the Democratic party, while 54 percent have an unfavorable opinion, and 10 percent haven't heard enough about it.

This is the lowest favorability rating for the Democratic party since the Quinnipiac University Poll began asking voters this question in 2008. The previous low was in January of this year when 31 percent of voters had a favorable opinion, 57 percent had an unfavorable opinion, and 9 percent hadn't heard enough about it.

In today's poll, 38 percent of voters have a favorable opinion of the Republican party, while 51 percent have an unfavorable opinion, and 7 percent haven't heard enough about it.

The case against Comey revolves around... Andrew McCabe

Frankly I don't care what happens to Comey... I doubt if Hillary Clinton does either.

Ironically... the Trump DoJ wants to prosecute Comey for screwing over Clinton!

Details:

The initial leak: In 2016, former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe authorized an FBI official to share information with a reporter for The Wall Street Journal regarding a probe into the Clinton Foundation.

Comey's testimony: During a September 2020 hearing, Senator Ted Cruz asked Comey if he had authorized the leak. Comey stated that he stood by his prior 2017 congressional testimony, in which he had denied authorizing any leaks to the media.

McCabe's account: In a December 2020 letter to the Justice Department, Sen. Cruz wrote that McCabe had told investigators he informed Comey of the leak, and Comey approved the action after the fact. This directly contradicted Comey's testimony.

A historical story about the origins of Right v Left.

It all goes back to the French Revolution.

After the storming of the Bastille the National Assembly was established to make a new Constitution.

To the RIGHT of the President's Chair... were the supporters of the King and the "Old Order" along with clergy and monarchy.

To the LEFT of the President's Chair... was the revolutionaries and reformers including Jacobins. They sought to take power away from the King, Church and State.

VOILA!!! And it stuck.

Multiple fatalities in apparent sniper attack on Dallas ICE facility...

Three detainees were shot at the Dallas Immigration and Customs Enforcement field office during a movement in the facility's sally port on Wednesday morning, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

"Multiple" victims are dead, acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told ABC News, while Dallas police said one person was killed and two were hurt.

The shooter -- who appeared "to be a sniper from an elevated position" firing from "a couple hundred yards" away -- died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, Lyons said. Dallas police said it appears the shooter fired from an adjacent building.

ABC10 station in Sacramento struck by gunfire Friday afternoon

The station was protested earlier in the day by angry protestors upset about Jimmy Kimmel firing.

My cynical opinion of why the meltdown on the right re: Kirk.

Because he was the husband, father??

Because of his adherence to Faith?

Because he was such a swell guy?


lol... NO. Those crocodile tears are all bullshit.


The real answer is... Kirk had 6 million followers on X alone, they're on 850 campuses

They're actively registering and getting people to vote...

One could easily credit CK with the polling numbers showing a reversal politically of Gen Z...

One could even make an argument that CK put Trump in the White House.






THAT is why the right is having a meltdown. They just lost their top political operative.
