An absolute epic self own by Z yesterday. These events are prearranged and highly orchestrated. Show up, sign the agreement, get fete’d by the most powerful man in the world, and go home with missiles. No, no, old Volodymyr walked into the Oval Office, in front of the nation and the world, and upper decked the golden shitter.
Links?
OMFG. They actually think shit like this is going to move the needle.
I love this shit. MNIA – Make NASA Irrelevant Again. Need to massage that one.
HAHAHAHAHA!!! PULL THE OTHER ONE!!!
Trump moves another chess piece.
Okay, that’s it for me. It’s a gorgeous day here in Manly Time and I’m going to pour a drink and go watch the birds.Peace out, Glibbies.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered about 3,000 active-duty troops to the southern U.S. border, including soldiers from a motorized brigade equipped with 20-ton armored Stryker combat vehicles, defense officials familiar with the effort said.
Actually using the military to deter or repel an invasion? What madness is this? Everyone knows that the services are only supposed to be overseas expeditionary forces.
We already have troops on the Southern border. These are additional. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Special Forces is already in Mexico.
They are already in Mexico.
Are they prepared to kill the invaders? If not what’s the purpose of all the armament?
Bummer. I can’t read that Telegraph thing. I’ll just have to imagine the unimagineable horror of uncurated nature and people not keeping off the grass in Yosemite.
Crisis! It’s right there in the headline.
That Hackman thing- I’m sure it’s weird, but I don’t care enough to read about it. I, like everybody else immediately thought carbon monoxide. But based on skimpy anecdotal evidence, those events tend to happen in the fall, when you fire up the furnace for the first time without realizing a stork has built a nest atop your chimney.
If the furnace 30 years old or less, it would trip on hi limit due to a blocked vent
At around the 19-minute mark, Trump glowingly praised Ukraine’s courage and its fighting skills, and even promised that the US would keep providing Kiev with military support. But by minute 24, Zelensky started openly demanding security guarantees, which Trump had already ruled out. “We will never accept just cease-fire. It will not work without security guarantees,” the Ukrainian dictator emphatically said in broken English.
https://open.substack.com/pub/coffeeandcovid/p/a-great-fall-saturday-march-1-2025?r=d0r3d&utm_medium=ios
Zelensky rambled on and on, as a stony-faced Trump grew increasingly aggravated. “When we speak about security guarantees,” Zelensky said, “when the Europeans are ready for contingents (of peacekeepers), they need USA back stop. This is crucial. This is very important. This is what we want to speak about. We need to provide this. We need this very much. Otherwise Putin will never stop. He hate us.”
Then he shifted into a weaselly running gear. “This is the rule of the war. Who began— those pay. This is the rule. Putin began this war, he has to pay all money for renovation.” Warming to his theme, and referring to Russian assets frozen by sanctions, he continued, “Some Russian assets we have in Europe, some $300 billions, we can use them, for renovation and buy military support from US also. But it’s not enough.”
In other words, Zelensky threw our crappy minerals deal back in our faces. It’s not enough. On top of security guarantees, he demanded that we, America, Trump, make Putin pay. And then pay more after that.
Hopefully the Uke parliament is smart enough to dump his sorry ass, otherwise welcome back to Ukraine SSR.
That would really defuse the whole thing.
He probably thinks it’s only fair given how long we’ve been dicking around with that miserable place.
Don’t mess with the bull.
I too think it’s hysterical that they’ve gone all in on the National Parks.

I was woken up by the police for sleeping on a bus bench in Las Vegas. I offered them some of my (cold by then) White Castle. They declined and suggested I get moving. Pretty sure that was the drink that preceded my, uh, nap.

A 4-Year-Old Boy Dies of Ebola in Uganda as U.S. Pulls Back on Help

Not my Ebola. Not my problem.
If aid helped, Africa would be a fucking paradise by now. But after decades and trillions of dollars, it’s still a 3rd world shithole through and through. I don’t want to see a single cent of my tax dollars going towards that shit ever again, especially since much, if not most or even all of it, is being skimmed off for international left wing activism or enriching politicians from a slush fund run through dozens of NGOs to clean the money.
At least they got rid of the non-electronic legacy bola.
Yeah, Pickle, but someone will come in and think playing the e-bow is a good substitute.
They were going to give him a sex change to stop the Ebola, but now there is no more money.
I thought killing Africans was what Gates did for sport?
But killing Elon is ok?
That’s shameless even by NYT standards.
So, the 40 trillion dollar question: when do they start doing shit on their own?
Has our “aid” destroyed the will and energy for any of these countries to actually develop? Are any other countries going to step into the gap left by the US? Should they?
In those where any of the aid actually gets past the kleptocracy, almost certainly.
And, of course, a fat kleptocracy is just what a country needs to get up the will and energy to develop itself.

Zelensky canceled elections. His government is kidnapping middle age men and sending them to be cannon fodder. He has outlawed the Russian Orthodox Church. His government has arrested, tortured, and killed journalists. Yet he is “defending Democracy against a tyrant”. Also, who goes to a meeting with the most powerful man on earth wearing pajamas? Fuck that guy.
Meh, I would. And they’d be the kind with the but flap, and I’d let that flap hang.
Would a but flap would be like having your Chad hang?
Absolutely creeped out by outlawing the religion of 1/4 of his country.
The election thing seems pretty standard, though, if I’m honest.
Banning elections in Europe is a sport.
I think most countries in this circumstance of being invaded do indeed postpone elections, although the US to its credit held them during the civil war.
To be fair, there weren’t that may Confederate forces on Union territory by November 1864.
The UK did postpone elections (supposed to be held in 1940) for the duration of the war.
We were involved in 2 wars at once and still held elections 20 years ago.
Haha. Yeah. How even did we manage it?
There weren’t opposing forces on our sovereign territory or engaging in air raids/missile strikes on the US in 2004.
I’m just wondering how deep his pool of stupidity goes. The guy is a mental midget, and he wants to demand protection from a guy who has openly said that isn’t an option? And in his own fucking house?
It has not yet sunk into his head that Trump does not equal Biden and the uniparty. Harsh awakening incoming, and he may serve as a wake up call to our snooty Euro allies.
The Euro weenies are in full panic. They’re afraid they’re going to have to start picking up the tab, and they left their wallets at home…
I’m hoping Trump orchestrated this as a salvo in pulling out of NATO.
pulling out of NATO
Stop, stop… my penis can only get so erect!
Shut down and dissolved, not pulled out.
SEATO is the model. Thank you Carter.
Now I kind of wonder why the U.S. wasn’t rounding up “volunteers” in the 40s and we weren’t even fighting invaders.
Reposting from this afternoon: If the Uke parliament isn’t smart enough to dropkick his ass out then Ukraine is done. And at this point, given how much of MY FUCKING MONEY they’ve stolen, I won’t really care all that much. Enjoy your reintegration into Mother Russia.
The Star is so over-the-moon with Z’s cock it’s impossible to tease out any truth there.
Mom had a bit of a sit down with me, without any other family – she wanted to talk to me, specifically about the Trump v Z beatdown. tl;dr: She is terrified of what Trump is doing and how dreadful all of it was. This was the ‘key’ moment that finally led her to have this talk with me.
It was odd. I didn’t get to finish my thoughts, but she was kinda-sorta letting me, but time constraints. My salvo against her is not yet complete. She, and Dad before her, have specifically told me to not talk politics. When she mentioned it, I truthfully noted how purposefully silent, I’ve remained. I made sure to note how Trump’s constitutional actions are all about *reducing* the Power of Washington. She’s upset the parks are being ‘shut down.’ (Didn’t have time to throw the key-story in there. Yeesh.) She’s distrustful of Musk, and part of the next bit is to ask if she *actually* thought Biden was in charge for his term, and if not… (how didn’t you see?) with focus on “Who do you think were *really* in charge? Elected or shadow?”
She is very smart and pays attention.. but she was also a journalist and still believes the NYT, WaPo, CNN+ are sacrosanct. Told her why I purposefully didn’t vote in ’20 + ’24 cuz i was hiding from family ostracization. (That poke *hurt* her and had an effect. She knows I’ve been keeping silent, which was pretty much the reason for the talk. Well. It was a chance to actually talk honestly. Funny she chose that event. ‘Twill be tricky.
Older Bro is the one I gotta watch out for. I don’t dare speak my political thoughts ’round him. Damn, he’s a dyed-in NIMBY Lefty who fakes self-flagellation to assuage his virtue, especially to the environment. Yeesh.
Time to get Dad to actually *do* his second set of PT exercises.
I have to have these talks too. My wife is liberal, and occasionally freaks out about Trump. I usually talk her off the cliff. She thought of Trump as a bully to Zelensky after seeing clips on the news. I had to explain the whole event, and what happened before it. It does occasionally get tiresome.
If you ever want a fun evening, invite me over to trigger your older brother. I will wear the R.J. party sombrero and bring my biggest belly laugh.
I can wear my swastika yarmulke.
Yes. You should come too.
Yea…being told I can’t express my opinions by family members wouldn’t fly with me. I wear my First-flag high and I spew my bullshit where I please.
Sorry Evan, but I think we’re gonna have to send most of your family off to the MAGA camps.
🤷🏼♂️
They’re a baaasket of deplorrrrables!
Ouch, sorry.
The MSM has a lot to answer for in this country.
Speak your mind in a respectful way. If they’re too childish to deal with the fact that someone on Planet Earth may have a different opinion than maybe being ostracized isn’t so bad.
Heh. My mother (and her husband) was an NPR DJ on the music side. Volunteers, naturally, as free labor was a badge of honor in that crowd.
Evan, if this WMT job works out, could you get a roommate?

Munch in MN certainly has expressed interest… *twiddles* (Her idea is currently untenable, but I remain highly motivated to further said adventure.)
Easily a sitcom (or many things): Brown multiple-orphaned legal gal and white, disabled me meet in Korea. Hijinks. (Not of that kind. (Yet?)) Return to America at about the same time. Reconquer a nation we feel lost in.
I’m still trying to lure her here. But fantastic about WMT – 1.6M US employees (fuck!); nearly unlimited relocation possibilities. Fuck MN and Sinclair Lewis.
For now, just focused on my 1:30 I-9 meeting tomorrow. Shall see how it and scheduling goes. Quite curious, am I.
HEY! I resent that. I’ve been here most of my 54 years, I’m still trying to turn this state to the correct path.
@Rhy: She certainly was before she became a teacher, and Dad as well. He reported and ran sports before getting his own metro column. They still believe in the sanctity of what the(ir) press says. Anything else is heresy.
Mom will actually listen, though she won’t agree. (We do it so much we’re just better practiced, can see the moves in advance.) She does agree with me on some things. Dad is not politically intelligent enough to have any opinions that matter on the national subject. Bro is… I mentioned here how he unfriended a friend from school cuz of a FB post about why he thought Lefties are over exaggerating fears; don’t understand what’s happening; and contradict themselves. It was well-written, not mean and had a comedic edge. His religion cannot be touched. Unassailable.
Bro was (demonstrating being) sad he had to end it with him. Just. Yuck. Cuz my nephews, and also my situation living with my parents, I make no waves. It was nice of Mom to pull me aside and say she understood how I was keeping silent and that probably didn’t feel good. It was a good olive branch. We’ll have to keep the others out, but it is a promising start.
It’s just so foreign to me.
Politics was just not discussed in my family, at all. My mom voted for Carter and Reagan. We were raised on the Big Three networks like anyone who lived up through the seventies but mom at least wasn’t hanging on every word.
I think that rubbed off me because despite my “urban” schooling the obvious attempts at propaganda kind of failed on me. I was generic liberal but it wasn’t long before applying some brain cells to various issues took me in a different direction.
Ukraine reminds me of one our apartment complexes. We had a larger than normal amount of snow this year, so apparently all the dog owners decided they didn’t need to scoop the poop. The snow has melted, and… things are not pretty. Got an email from corporate about spring, and it included a line about “animal waste”. I’m sorry, I refuse to pick up after other people’s dogs. Especially on this scale, which is truly epic. Epic amounts of dog shit. Fire me if you want, but I have hvac, plumbing leaks, and other real work to do. It is not my job to wipe your ass, nor your dog’s.
Run it all over with a mulching lawn mower. That will end well.
Smells like money.
I have mentioned the new building that opened up across the street and partially filled with former campers.
They all have the sort of mean-looking dogs that urban campers tend to have and all of them walk their dogs across the street to do their duty on the lawn behind my building. My landlords helpfully erected a stand with baggies and a garbage slot. LOL as if.
That lawn is now a sodden, grassless mess flooded with wet dog shit.
DJ! How’s your shiny metal ass been?

Meh. English just beats down other languages and pulls their words into it. I take great pleasure in verbing nouns that shouldn’t be verbed.
Japanese has English beat on turning nouns into verb.
There are a bunch of native Japanese words and even more loan words mostly from English that you just add “suru” to the noun and turn it into a noun.
Suru means “to do”.
surusuru?

What bothers me the most about Trum’s critics regarding Ukraine – not one of these clowns can or will articulate why exactly Trump should defer to Zelensky on anything. What the fuck do we need Ukraine for?
It’s the simplest, most basic question. Yet they look at you like you’re speaking gibberish for asking it. The idea of America as world police is just ingrained into their heads. We should let Zelensky call the shots because his cause is supposedly just.
To defeat Russia, duh.
‘We should let Zelensky call the shots because his cause is supposedly just.’
We should, by butting out of something that has nothing to do with us…
Dead foreigners ain’t anyone’s concern.
Tweets and TikTok rate higher.
They’re not looking at you like you’re speaking gibberish. They have that blank look because their brains are automatically rejecting any incoming informative information that does not conform to their worldview.
