Every time I hear about a new "aid" package to Ukraine, all I can think about is "10% to the Big Guy."

Very lucrative money-laundering operation

FYI: I don't know if you follow The Duran, but "10% to the Big Guy" is also all host Alex Christoforou can think about. It's one of his recurring asides. 🤑

It remains to be seen whether all of the wishes and incipient promises about investigating the multifarious Biden Crime Family grift will prove to be more demagogic noise, as Trump's seductive 2016 "Lock her up!" mantra turned out to be.

I'm not sanguine about the possibility. Old Uncle Joe is probably beyond "accountability" at this stage, and since the "big fish" is already rotting there's not much prosecutorial incentive to go after the lesser fry-- even the loathsome Hunter-- just for the sake of achieving justice. 🦈

And I think Trump is too narcissistically attracted to the pernicious pose of The Great Paternalistic Reconciler; despite rhetoric from some potentially aggressive subordinates, when push comes to shove Trump himself wiill revert to the reprehensible "let's look forwards, not backwards" dodge Obama used to great effect.

I hope I'm wrong, but once an Elected Misrepresentative acquires sought-after political power they seem to acquire a self-righteous urge to sweep inconvenient and troublesome malfeasance under the rug, or straight into the dustbin of history. 😠

And, worse...they listen to a bunch of buzzing sycophants who mislead and mesmerize the narcissist with phony 'hero worship'.

Well…I like how the Jews (the real Jews) tracked down and executed Eichman as an “old” man. Hope springs eternal.

Atrocious behavior as the literal parting shots of a failed administration, a daft president (ala Peter Sellers) and the madness to poke a bear that is currently very, very raw. This, to me, is also providing cover for Bibi and his henchmen to finish off what's left of Gaza and the WB as the hordes of True Believers (!) and Evangelical Fundamentalist Zionist Christians froth at hints of the 2nd Coming. (And a condo built on the bones of dead Palestinians.)

You didn't propose a caption contest for the Anthony Freda-supplied image, and in any case my submission-- as usual-- is too long for a caption.

But I may as well take this opportunity to cite a verse from Bob Dylan's 1966 song "Stuck Inside of Mobile with the Memphis Blues Again" which I believe complements the portrait; I've been itching to include it in a comment for weeks:

Grandpa died last week

And now he’s buried in the rocks

Everybody still talks about

How badly they were shocked

But me, I expected it to happen

I knew he’d lost control

When he built a fire on Main Street

And shot it full of holes

Oh, Mama, can this really be the end?

To be stuck inside of Mobile

With the Memphis blues again 😎

Nothing else matters to me right now. THAT is one of my all-time favorite lyrics set and melody of Dylan's AND 'Blond on Blond' one of his very, very best LPs overall. I will dig it up tomorrow and play it in your honor! ;)

the assassination on Trump was plotted by the deep state only because Trump threatened to end the Ukraine war and cut off the massive profits to the arms trade

With all respect to you personally Cindy, you shouldn't besmirch the Ultimate Avatar by making even a cursory comparison between him and any lying, criminal, scumbag, mouthpiece politician. The truth of the matter is that the Fuhrer is the only one in this time cycle that directly confronted, exposed, and fought the Beast that has its slimy claws around our collective throats and is dragging us to perdition.

The deep state seems to be perfectly willing to play Russian Roulette. They're psychopaths, not even human...

Hannity's whackjob Neocon rhetoric did not age well

Why is Biden doing this?

1) he wants to dismantle peace before it starts?

2) he wants to pay off his Military Congressional Industrialist Complex?

3) he is playing Russian Roulette as a bargaining chip for Hunter to get a pardon?

4) No reason, he is just senile?
