In the 1960s during the Kennedy Administration—“Camelot”—this nation 🇺🇸 mindlessly, heedlessly embarked on a war of choice in Southeast Asia while dragooning its young men in the cause and America has never regained its bearings or known sanity since.

Republicans hold the majority in the US House of Representatives.

For 20 days they have fought amongst themselves… cursed each other out… wasted tax payer dollars… taken weekends off and we still DO NOT HAVE A SPEAKER!

In 25 days, the Government shuts down from lack of funding and Republican Chaos.

Seniors on Medicare will see their out-of-pocket prescription drug costs capped at $2,000 a year, thanks to our Inflation Reduction Act.

The GOP has spent the last 6 months talking about the “invasion” at our southern border.

There are two major wars and multiple regional conflicts happening now.

China is aggressively posturing.

And Congress has been closed for 3 weeks because the GOP can’t elect a Speaker.

Obviously, we need to make sure Trump doesn’t win. I don’t care where you are on the political spectrum, you have to recognize that him winning will be a catastrophe to the American experiment. To the UNITED States of America. But winning elections really are the bare minimum…5/

British intelligence reports that Russia has lost between 150,000 to 190,000 troops since the war began … and other Ukraine news

1. According to UK analysts, the Russian military has seen a 90% spike in troop losses 1/

A lot of people are talking today about Michael Flynn's pardon, since @emptywheel asked if Trump's recent disavowal of Sidney Powell was because of a pardon quid pro quo. Just to remind, the quid pro quo is WRITTEN: pardon Flynn for help "base rallying" 1/

Here's Trump's post that set off all the discussion: "MS. POWELL WAS NOT MY ATTORNEY... she would have been conflicted. Ms. Powell did a valiant job of representing...General Michael Flynn...an innocent man...like many other innocent people who are now being persecuted..." 9/

I decided, for funsies, to read project 2025…it’s started off strong with them wanting to delete terms like gender, diversity, abortion, reproductive health & rights “out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, & piece of legislation that exists.”

@JPTruss @RadioFreeTom Y’all do understand that Prime Minister Chamberlain was under no illusions about Hitler (that would be his predecessor Stanley Baldwin) but was in fact trying to buy time to fortify the neglected Royal Air Force. Right? He didn’t get the vitality of the Czech arms industry though

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@JPTruss @RadioFreeTom Skoda Works did end up building tanks for the Reich, all right—better quality than the Germans were mustering at the time, too. That shift in the power balance is what Neville Chamberlain failed to account for and caused Stalin to recalculate his options (to sad Poland’s sorrow).

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@JPTruss @RadioFreeTom I’m terribly provincial and don’t get out much, this much is true—but if you mistake me for a tankie and choose to shoot off about it, well (deep subject) you’re not going to make me feel bad.

@Cervanec @RadioFreeTom The exquisite feature of the Cold War was that neither the United States nor the Soviet Union had to go larking about in quests to secure gold or timber or oil, a wellspring of so many tensions and conflicts in the world before—and the two superpowers were not to brook any such.

@mjpcdhoops @RachelBitecofer Nor was the time he had the Korean War won in October 1950 but failed to content himself with planting the flag in Pyongyang and declaring victory but instead pushed his forces on toward the Yalu River!

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@JPTruss @RadioFreeTom And why, you might ask, was Uncle Joe so exercised? One word: Skoda.

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@JPTruss @RadioFreeTom Question for you: Which world leader was most infuriated by the British and French choice to abandon Czechoslovakia to the Third Reich’s tender mercies despite his fervent entreaties and promises of assistance? Hint: it wasn’t FDR. And—yeah, Poland got to pay the price for that.

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@RadioFreeTom And tell it to Richard Nixon, Tom. Ideology is ultimate bullshit, geopolitical interests are everything.

[L Ron (male Karen) Musk 🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @KevinShinn]

@RadioFreeTom Well I am a crank who also says the significant outcome of WWII is that the US Navy finally swept the British Royal Navy from the seas, so there’s that. Seriously though—liberalization and stabilization a la Gorbachev (1st Soviet leader born in USSR) were in the works, long-term.
