My beloved husband is a Navy vet. He had the day off. I did not. He drove me to acupuncture this morning, then to work. He really, truly is the best. I paused at 11:11 today to hold him in my heart.
"Those 56 blue stars. The 18 strips some white some red mostly white, maybe all white... Colonies. The solid Gold brad (sic). This flag I pledge of those!" -- Donald J. Trump (Teleprompted)
Marcie, I actually am a vet and though my Vietnam era fellows are passing from the scene now, none of us I'm certain have ever considered this president our friend. The idea of service is so alien to him, and likewise the concept of gratitude for others who did serve and that includes the police. He is a pathetic individual in every respect and shouldn't pretend he honors vets. I've winced everytime he's laid a wreath at Arlington.

Asked and answered. The Fulvous Fuckwad is incapable of considering what's good for someone else, anyone else, and what the gubmint might owe them, especially those in the military who were wounded or captured and Gold Star Families.

Maybe Hegseth has been getting reports of "narcotics" on boats from Ahmad Chalabi. Or more likely from rival drug gangs too eager to have the US military's help in murdering their adversaries/competitors.
By the way, "narcotics" by definition could be an ounce of marijuana in someone's coat pocket, they are not even saying.
Lovely! I had a few of the little guys when I was a teen (and gerbils, rats, and hamsters - what? I like rodents). They're adorable and talk to you and seem to love being scritched. They just don't live long enough.
I had a pet rat named Twinkie who as clever and fun to play with as several of the dogs I've had. That rodent was SO clever; even my parents were fascinated with him.
Having a little friend like him with Cat the Ripper in residence is, unfortunately, out of the question.
The 'American Battle Monuments Commission' is a US government agency and even they are doing the Republican white nationalism 'whitewashing' of history. I guess you can't spell DIE without DEI . . .
"The Netherlands American Cemetery near Maastricht holds the graves of 8,301 Americans who died liberating Europe from the Nazis, including 174 African Americans.
In 2023, the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC), which runs the site, opened a visitor centre and last year added two panels: one on the million African Americans who enlisted but were “fighting on two fronts”, against the Nazis in Europe and against America’s racist segregation policies.
Dutch historians and politicians, as well as relatives of the soldiers, say the change coincided with the Trump administration’s targeting of diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Earlier this year, an article detailing the military career of Jackie Robinson, a baseball player widely considered an American hero, was removed from the Department of Defense’s website amid a purge of material considered to be DEI-related. It was later restored."
Like how the Castilian dialect has an accent with a slight lisp to accommodate a well-loved ruler, current day maga will be afflicted with the inability to understand intelligence . . .

Let's remind all our Republican acquaintances that we'd have won Vietnam too, if only Cadet Bone Spurs had reported for duty.
Sir. The Pyle without the Gomer.
One less cadet bone spurs?
He would have won the war—nobody could have done it better—all by himself on day one. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
"I thought this was the pork chop hills... but Sarge says it's some stuff called 'bun cha'."
The morale boost of his fragging would've made victory inevitable.
Has Sir banned "Inglourious Basterds" yet?
"The Longest Day"? Like, a thousand other WWII movies that say "Nazis are bad"?
It's probably going to all be labeled as "Hollywood fake news."
Maybe Hegseth has been getting reports of "narcotics" on boats from Ahmad Chalabi. Or more likely from rival drug gangs too eager to have the US military's help in murdering their adversaries/competitors.

Thanks, that looks great! They seem to have kept the web design exactly as it was in 1995, which is a historic treat in its own right.
OT: I am going ham on a guinea pig cage online for my half-sister for Christmas. She wants to get piggies again, so I'mma kit her out.

A camp mate brought her pet rat, most likely illegally, but boy that little guy was super smart and fun!
‘Nobody knows’ means Trump just found out about something everybody knows.
This is a fucking disgrace.

Yes!
Thanks for fixing. :)

Do we need a sleeping puppy pile picture? I think we might need a sleeping puppy pile picture.
I just saw the Wuffy advert and it's distracted me. It annoys me because I'm sure that the puppy in the ad is quite real. As advanced as robotics may be I do not believe that I can acquire a robot puppy THAT realistic for $15 plus shipping and handling.
Bullshit. And how dare they break the hearts of all of those kids who expected a toy like the one in the commercial?
I'm convinced that the puppies in the ads are real, and that whatever they send is going to be a POS.
it’s yet another, albeit cutesy, way to get a camera into your house (probably a microphone also) … so they can glean more info … think ‘’ring’’ doorbell …
Should we put them in the Epstein files?
