Next thing we'll see is the FAA banning all transatlantic flights.

They thought Enola Gay is a biplane
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Headline in the Guardian:

Republican who introduced Trump derangement syndrome bill arrested for soliciting a minor
This of course is Minnesota's own Justin Eichorn - he ran on a family values campaign - who was arrested for soliciting a minor for sexual purposes, a felony. Of course Mr Eichorn is innocent until he is proven guilty which we can all hope is soon. Minnesota's GOP has called for him to resign - “Justin has a difficult road ahead and he needs to focus on his family" they said. You can say that again. OK then. "Justin has a difficult road ahead and he needs to focus on his family"

The more I see of Facebook, YouTube, and read about podcasts, TikTok, and Twitter, the more and more I am reminded of the old adage about how "an infinite number of monkeys banging away at an infinite number of typewriters will eventually reproduce all the great works of literature."
And then I see stuff like this and realize just how much fluff and nonsense those monkeys are going to generate during this process.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

From today's Rolling Stone:
Lithuanian President President Gitanas Nausėda, government dignitaries, religious leaders, military personnel, and thousands of spectators gathered on Thursday to send the remains of four American soldiers killed during a training exercise back to the U.S. for burial. They are arriving at Dover Air Force Base in Delaware on Friday, and while their bodies will be received by several senators and members of the military, the commander in chief couldn’t be bothered to make the trip. He had a gold (sic: should be golf) tournament to attend.
When will people look at what he does, not what he says. What a fucking turd the man is.

Those guys died an horrific death, too - they suffocated to death when their armored vehicle sunk into a peat bog in Lithuania. I heard a piece about the rescue efforts on NPR and it painted a very bleak picture of the conditions.

They deserved to be honored in the welcome home and I’m glad there was military and congressional delegation to greet them. In all honesty given what a total cunt our fascist destroyer is, I’m glad he chose golf with terrorists over not pretending well to give a fuck about our troops.
