It’s Monday. There are 526 days until the midterm elections. Jake Tapper’s mask comes off, Trump effs North Carolina and an idiot discovers Putin ain’t his friend.

Memorial Day weekend in 2013 I was in Las Vegas (my one and only time) and had tickets to see Fleetwood Mac at the MGM. Turns out it was Stevie's 65th birthday and the whole audience sang Happy Birthday to her. I still get goosebumps...
The Commander-in-Chief gives a deranged, dementia-laden rant at the premiere military academy in the world, and the Pentagon still trust this traitor? In Pentagon, I mean the senior officers who understand and are loyal to their Oath to the Constitution ONLY! If tfg was a military officer or senior NCO in a command position, he would have been relieved of his duty at this point, and probably courtmartialed for treason, sedition, and actions unbecoming of an officer. Yet, these future military leaders had to sit and listen to grandpapa delirious fumble through single syllabus words and jabber about nonsensical gibberish! China is eyeing Taiwan, fighting in the South China Sea (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/why-china-rammed-a-philippine-ship-while-60-minutes-was-on-board/ar-AA1qCQQa?ocid=socialshare), Russia continues to prep Eastern Europe for an invasion, the Middle East is a powder keg …again, and this is the leader of the free world? REALLY!?
But here is the million dollar question:when the Orange Orbán declares martial law (or attempts to) what will the Loyal-to-the-US military do (vs. the pro-maga/pseudo nazi sympathizers)?🤔
YES, BABAB, I was wondering the same thing. The regime has it's Brown Shirts out their disappearing people already. And I was wondering if/when any of the defenders of the constitution in our military possibly, maybe DO something about all this corruption. And here I am editing what I would normally just say. SAD.
Note, last paragraph, Note three: Ah, the reasons to be proud to be an American.
Note four: Harvard deserves no consideration until they rehire Claudine Gay.
Note five: Thanks.
Note six: Was there some point you wanted to make?
Note eight: Before you get all appreciative, please let's take a look at Rand's voting record. I'm thinking about things like cabinet confirmations.
Note nine: A moron and a coward. Boy, I hadn't seen anything like that coming.
Note 11: A paragraph that includes the name John Fetterman (and isn't an obituary). Let me see if I think it's probably worth reading. Oh, and a further explanatory link.
Note 13: I saw excerpts. Crazy, awful, and nonsense about trophy wives. That sort of scratches the surface.
Note 14: Yes, the law and order folks are most certainly in charge.
Note 15: Be fair. If you were Tom Homan, wouldn't you need $1M a month of security detail, and be terrified of Ocasio-Cortez?
Note 19: I live in Florida, and we're never given a chance to forget about Ronnie. The expression is a cross between mindlessness and bewilderment. I'd ask him, but he wouldn't know.
Note 21: You young'uns don't remember Christine MacVie.
"No More Fake Jake:" "Trump's mental health" is an oxymoron.
"No help for Tar Heels:" Obama and Biden DID do it. Ask Donnie whose fault this all is.
"Who knew?:" Donnie is not at all "playing" stupid. He is reliably certifiable.
"Today's clips," paragraph two: What's the problem? They were probably not Israeli Jews, so who cares?
"Today's clips," paragraph three: Curiously enough, just today I commented elsewhere about the same thing. I was curious how Mikey Little Johnson knew how many Louisianans didn't really deserve Medicaid, and how he knew which ones didn't deserve it.
Thanks for the multiple episodes of help: McVie and John. It's been a long time. Stevie Nicks was also great. I was never much of a fan of Lindsay Buckingham. I just looked them up, and they spun off of John Mayall, whose bands I have always loved.
Thanks for today and enjoy Friday off! Hopefully preceded by another Thursday Therapy??? Just in general, thanks always for the work you do. You make horrific news a bit easier to receive with the delightful addition of profanity, irreverence, and acerbic humor!!
No help for Tarheels - somehow we wound up (again) with a Democratic governor and a Republican legislature. Who knows how long our schizophrenic state will take to figure out it’s Trump and not Biden who abandoned us?
Who Knew? - maybe Trump is trying to play the “he’s so crazy there’s no telling what he’ll do so maybe we’d better give him whatever he wants” card.
A huge thank you to all the service men and women that have and are defending out Country. You are not suckers and looser's as trump has said. You are hero's and I am proud of every one of you.
"Rand Paul: "Somebody has to stand up and yell, 'the emperor has no clothes.' Everybody is falling in lockstep on this --" (from note 8)
Um ...Say what? Dude aren't you the guy who flew Probably Top secret documents to Moscow in a diplomatic pouch in 2018?
And didn't you and your cronies PUT THIS MF where he is?
And didn't your other cronies give this demented old fart...immunity to do whatever he God damned wanted? And didn't you and your cronies lead your rubes to the voting booths with your "owning the Libs propaganda?' And now that's all their going to own. (boo hoo).
WTF happened? The Cheeto didn't give you enough of the pie? Forgot your name?
Doesn't give you the heads up on when he's going to grift his next stock market scam.
Won't send FEMA money to your state so you and your rich buddies can pocket it all?
YOU HELPED CREATE THIS DISASTER!
Can't wait to have someone leak what the bio weapon people in this Regime are cooking up.
You think RFK JR. is nuts...who's in charge of our bio weapon program...?
Suck Eggs Rand...or are they to expensive for you!
We interrupt that RANT with a message from the writer...sorry about that SP's, just returned from a parade...YUP...and all I could think of while I was there, was,
Gosh....I hope no one runs over us with a CyberTruck or maybe shoots us all with an AR 15.

Perhaps the word was animosity. Difficult to second guess the author of this post, but anonymity just doesn’t cut it.
I think this comment was supposed to be made as a general comment on the main post, not my spreadsheet comment :)

ADAM, YOU ARE THE GREATEST!
TODAY ON MEMORIAL DAY, TRUMP TO LAY WREATH AT ARLINGTON NATIONAL
CEMETERY. Look deeper and discover TRUMPS DISRESPECT FOR OUR MILITARY.
• Downplaying Injuries from an Iranian Attack (2020 & 2024): After Iran launched
ballistic missiles at U.S. forces in Iraq in 2020, over 100 American troops suffered
traumatic brain injuries. Trump dismissed these injuries, saying, "What does injured
mean? Injured means because they had a headache?". He reignited the controversy
in 2024 by repeating similar remarks.
• Comments About Military Leadership: Trump has reportedly insulted U.S. military
officials, calling them "some of the dumbest people I've ever met in my life" and
allegedly saying, "You fucking generals. Why can't you be more like Hitler's
generals?"—though he denies making this remark.
• Disparaging Fallen Soldiers: According to a 2020 report in The Atlantic, Trump
allegedly referred to American soldiers who died in war as "losers" and "suckers."
He denied these claims, but the report cited multiple sources, including former
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
• Khizr and Ghazala Khan, the parents of U.S. Army Captain Humayun Khan, made
headlines when they spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention. Khizr Khan
criticized Donald Trump, questioning whether he had ever visited Arlington
Cemetery and stating, "You have sacrificed nothing and no one.” Trump responded
by claiming he had made sacrifices by employing thousands of people.
• Military Recruitment Claims: Trump has repeatedly bragged about military
enlistment numbers during his second term, suggesting that his leadership inspired
a surge in recruitment. However, experts note that recruitment numbers were
already rising before he took office, largely due to reforms implemented under Joe
Biden.
• Veterans' Healthcare: Trump has claimed credit for allowing veterans to seek private
healthcare instead of waiting for VA appointments. However, this policy was actually
signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2014.
• Troop Pay Raises: Trump stated that he secured the first pay raise for U.S. troops in
a decade, but military personnel had received annual pay increases long before his
presidency.
• Military Leadership Shake-up: Trump has replaced key military officials, including
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and has fired thousands of civilian staff at
the Pentagon.
• Politicization of Memorial Day: Trump used his Memorial Day message to attack
political opponents, federal judges, and President Joe Biden, rather than focusing
on honoring fallen soldiers.
• Rollback of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Programs: His administration has
eliminated DEI initiatives in the military, disbanded clubs at West Point related to
race and gender, and removed books discussing systemic racism from military
libraries.
• Restrictions on Transgender Service Members: Trump reinstated a ban on
transgender individuals serving in the military and introduced new physical
standards that apply equally to men and women.
• North Korea Negotiations: Trump claimed that North Korea was cooperating in
returning the remains of U.S. troops, but reports indicate that progress on this issue
has been inconsistent.
• Questioning McCain’s War Hero Status (2015): At a campaign event in Iowa, Trump
said, "He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t
captured." This comment sparked backlash from both Republicans and Democrats.
Calling McCain a 'Loser': Trump reportedly referred to McCain as a "loser" multiple
times, including after McCain’s passing in 2018. According to sources, Trump was
upset about flags being lowered to half-staff in McCain’s honor, allegedly saying,
"What the f--- are we doing that for? Guy was a f---ing loser."
• Disrespecting McCain’s Funeral: Reports claim that Trump told his staff, "We’re not
going to support that loser’s funeral," and was frustrated by the public tributes to
McCain. McCain, a decorated Vietnam War veteran and longtime senator, was
widely respected across party lines. His family and many political figures
condemned Trump’s remarks.
• in 1968, Trump was granted a medical exemption due to alleged bone spurs in his
feet, which disqualified him from military service. Some critics have labeled him a
"Draft Dodger.
• Derogatory Remarks and Disrespectful Language: Multiple reports have highlighted
instances where Trump allegedly used disparaging language toward military leaders
and even those who made the ultimate sacrifice. For example, there have been
accounts indicating that he referred to deceased service members with demeaning
terms—suggesting that soldiers given the Congressional Medal of Honor were in
"very bad shape" or simply "dead," a remark that many veterans and military
families found deeply disrespectful. Such off-color language has fueled anger
among those who believe that the sacrifices of U.S. service personnel deserve
utmost reverence and sensitivity.
• Politicization of Military Institutions and Events: Trump has frequently used military
ceremonies and memorial events as platforms for political messaging. Rather than
solely honoring the service and sacrifice of military personnel on solemn occasions
like Memorial Day, his remarks have sometimes veered into partisan attacks. This
approach—transforming memorial services into a stage for political critique—has
been seen as a violation of the decorum traditionally observed by military
institutions and has drawn widespread criticism from both political opponents and
veterans alike.
• Overstating Personal Contributions to Military Strength: Trump has repeatedly
claimed that he "rebuilt" the military and turned it into the "greatest and most
powerful Army the world has ever known." Critics argue that such statements
oversimplify the complex evolution of U.S. military capabilities—a process shaped
over decades by countless policymakers, military professionals, and evolving
strategic doctrines. Many contend that attributing these outcomes solely to his
leadership neglects the long-term professional efforts of career military leaders and
the structural improvements initiated well before his tenure.
• Interference with Established Military Traditions: The Trump administration's
sweeping changes—including the abrupt removal of longstanding diversity, equity,
and inclusion (DEI) programs—have also drawn ire. These actions not only disrupted
programs meant to honor the diverse fabric of the armed forces but also sparked
debates about meritocracy versus the benefits of diversity initiatives. Such moves
were perceived by some military members and observers as eroding traditions that
helped foster teamwork and unity, which many believe are essential for an effective
fighting force.
• These controversies, combined with earlier instances of inflammatory rhetoric, have
left a lasting impression on many service members, veterans, and military families
who argue that the respect and decorum traditionally afforded to those in uniform—
and especially to those who make the ultimate sacrifice—have been undermined by
Trump's approach.
• TRUMP DESERVES A DISHONORABLE DISCHARGE!
Hey Adam & Sam - Thanks for the Memorial Day Moron. 🫶🏻
Enjoy Friday. FWIT, I'd adore a special Friday package of cuss words from youse guys!

Note 21: I’m older, so I remember her well enough to spell her name correctly (respectfully: McVie). Trying to help!
Funny enough, I was trying to remember, but didn't bother to look it up. Her husband, Peter, was in the band, too. How do you know you're older?
Now you’re messing with me! Her hubby in the band was John McVie.
And I didn’t mean older than you, I meant because I’m older than the young’uns, I know who she was, that’s all.
Oh, John.
Thanks for the multiple episodes of help: McVie and John. It's been a long time. Stevie Nicks was also great. I was never much of a fan of Lindsay Buckingham. I just looked them up, and they spun off of John Mayall, whose bands I have always loved.
My pleasure. Love John Mayall and the connection that McVie was in Bluesbreakers (and so many other amazing musicians over the yrs). 🫡
Oh, that's why I thought it was MacVie. Because it was Fleetwood Mac.
Wasn't there someone named Peter in Fleetwood Mac?
"how Mikey Little Johnson knew how many Louisianans didn't really deserve Medicaid,"
Gonna go out on a limb and say 'AOTK!'
I don't know what that stands for.

Aw, geeze - note 8, I agreed with Rand Paul.
No help for Tarheels - somehow we wound up (again) with a Democratic governor and a Republican legislature. Who knows how long our schizophrenic state will take to figure out it’s Trump and not Biden who abandoned us?
Who Knew? - maybe Trump is trying to play the “he’s so crazy there’s no telling what he’ll do so maybe we’d better give him whatever he wants” card.
Please send a "special Friday package of cuss words," then enjoy your day off.
I second this.
Sure, take Friday off but only if that brings us one day closer to the midterms.
Homan. Big mouth, teeny teeny tiny little dick.
Mike Johnson is a holier than thou Jack ass!! He’s a fake!!
A huge thank you to all the service men and women that have and are defending out Country. You are not suckers and looser's as trump has said. You are hero's and I am proud of every one of you.
Thank you everyday for giving me hope.
My new name for 🤯 is The Mortifier.
Because that’s what he does to the citizens of the United States of America 🇺🇸 on a daily, is to mortify us when he opens his filthy mouth.
