Holy cow! DC Circuit DENIES trump's petition for an en banc re-hearing of his gag order. They also DENY a stay pending appeal. Not a single judge on the circuit voted in favor.
For all of the Rethug bluff and bluster regarding law and order they certainly have no compunction in regard to petulantly disregarding federal law and presidential edicts.
HuffPo: Trump’s Attempt To Describe Missile Defense Has To Be Heard To Be Believed
“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding! They’ve only got 17 seconds to figure this whole thing out, right? Boom, OK. Missile launch, pssshng, poom! It’s the most ― and we don’t have it here!”
Love how his stupid crayon scribble Twitter but slightly more Nazis gets 4 figures of response engagement, even though the sole reason it exists is so he can post there
I don't even understand it. Okay, yes, they're probably getting kickbacks, but Russia at this point is an almost failed state. They can almost maintain a war against Ukraine. The stuff that came out about Putin wanting Alaska back? Hello? Yeah, you can't manage a war with the US and the entire world would suffer.
Japan surrendered to the United States on the same day that the USSR broke its non-aggression pact with Japan.
For Japan, WWII was an extension of the Sino-Japanese War, where Japan invaded China and committed some horrendous atrocities there. When that started, Stalin moved Russian troops out east. Japan and the USSR then agreed not to fight, but Stalin kept his troops there.
But because any deal with Russians isn't worth the sheet of paper it's signed on, the USSR broke these terms shortly after the USA dropped the second nuclear bomb on Japan. The same day, Japan surrendered to the United States. It's thought that Japan was hoping for the USSR to broker a peace treaty between Japan and the USA, but Stalin rolling tanks into Japanese-occupied territory was a pretty clear indicator of what he thought about that.

Fucking DENIED, you orange pisswhistle.
All ketchup bottles within 100 miles of Merde-A-Loser are fearing for their lives today.

Something something protect but doesn't bind, something something bind but doesn't protect.
Yet another senseless act of violence brought to you by ammosexual fuckheads.
Admiral Kirby: I have had enough of YOU!
NYT: Joe Biden hasn’t done enough to earn our votes. Yes he’s accomplished a lot in his 1st term. But he hasn’t promised us a unicorn in his 2nd term.
Also NY: if Trump’s 4 criminal trials get delayed it could help him politically!
In a statement responding to the article, DEFENDANT troofed, "Elecric camel cars! Windmill whales! Ronny Jackson cognizant camel debank!"

Like a very precocious 4-year-old.
He's been on a tangent of stupid today, hasn't he?
It's only going to get worse.
It is also damned near incomprehensible to me how and why that psychotic fascist fuckwit is still waddling around a free man.
He needs a padded cell.
He needs a cell
Brain damaged chromosome deficient gibbon with dropsy libelz!
Oh wait, nobody mentioned the gibbon yet.
Anyway, yes.
You're erudite this morning. Is the sun over the yard arm yet? I think I need a drink, although I have to drive to get one.
I think I'm gonna email you later to call you an arse badger.
Which is why we're turning our lonely eyes to Ellen Ripley.
Iran is in a bind with China; China is very busy suppressing Muslims and Iran sits by and watches.
Republicans keep pointing to the stats that show more people are being stopped/arrested/whatever at the border.
Am I losing my mind, or does that mean we're actually controlling our border?
They do indeed appear to be publicly confirming that the Biden administration is successfully preserving border security on the southern border.
Perish the thought that Rethugs should ever recognize that the vast MAJORITY of those in the US illegally enter from across the 49th parallel.
Or through international airports.
They have problems with English, apparently the motherfuckers do not understand it.

I don't want to live in the country that puts razor wire on the border that kills people.
I don't either.
It is barbaric inhumanity.
East Germany on Line 1.
Very Iron Curtain, razor wire is. I might add that the old IGB (IDG auf Deutsch) is now a wildlife preserve.
Reek comes through with fuckhead "question" that is really propaganda.
The admiral is well prepared for these idiots.
Meanwhile, the New York Times delivers another piece of hard-hitting journalism:

Never would have guessed that!

Huh? What???
Tsk. Do I have to do everything?
OH, THE NEW MANATEES!
Was there a butter cow? Perhaps a huge fiberglass dolphin? For why, manatees?
It's their caucus convention.
It's cold out and the springs at this latitude are 72 Freedom Degrees all year.
The temp of waters in Florida's springs is constant. Therefore, in cold snaps, they're warmer than other rivers, the ocean, etc.
They just wanted candy.
Warmer waters is for why
"Warm water ports". Generic Russian history answer #1.
"Whither Vladivostok", the novel by George Orwell, is answer #2.
Wow, you all read the article. I just wanted to rag on dugongs.
That particular Blue Springs (there are four in all) is local to me and Frank!.
And extraordinary beautiful!
I still didn't read the article.
But I love that you and Frank are sort-of-neighbors!
"rag on, dugong" is the first release from my trancecore sitar-dobro-bouzouki side project
Oh the huge manatee!
Any one of whom would make a better President than Donald Judas Turmp.

The fascists in Congress will do anything to support the fascist Putin. ANYTHING. Just look at that vile traitor Rand Paul.
I don't even understand it. Okay, yes, they're probably getting kickbacks, but Russia at this point is an almost failed state. They can almost maintain a war against Ukraine. The stuff that came out about Putin wanting Alaska back? Hello? Yeah, you can't manage a war with the US and the entire world would suffer.
They want us to be a failed state too. Easy pickings at any assets left. Same for Europe. An oligarchs’ paradise.
not just a joke, look what happened in Russia after the Soviet government fell. The lesson on how the sweep up the pieces and make $$$ was not lost
Yep. I’m not joking.
One of the lessons of WWII is that indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets does NOT break civilian morale.
About that - Japan is holding on line 1
Japan surrendered to the United States on the same day that the USSR broke its non-aggression pact with Japan.
For Japan, WWII was an extension of the Sino-Japanese War, where Japan invaded China and committed some horrendous atrocities there. When that started, Stalin moved Russian troops out east. Japan and the USSR then agreed not to fight, but Stalin kept his troops there.
But because any deal with Russians isn't worth the sheet of paper it's signed on, the USSR broke these terms shortly after the USA dropped the second nuclear bomb on Japan.

The atomic bombings were punctuation marks on the inevitable.
"Keep calm and carry on."
Yeah. There was a photo of an elderly woman in England; the picture was taken during WWII. She was walking through a parking lot.
The entire block had been wrecked by German bombs.
She was carrying grocery bags. She just did not give one single fuck. She had to get her food home, and that was it.
I pointed this out to classmates after 9/11, when everyone was losing their fucking minds. Didn't land well, or even at all.
I'm fairly certain it just pissed the Brits off.
(Yes, I know that everybody bombed everybody in WWII.)
The reciprocal did the same thing in Hamburg.
