@JadeRiddle12@EYakoby U.S. intelligence agencies had the correct assessment on Iraqi WMDs until the bush admin thumbed the scale to justify its war ambitions. I’ll leave the analogy of our current conflict as an exercise for the reader
the phrase "lipstick on a pig" has always inspired a deep sadness in me. I think of the pig, looking forward to her big night out, and I bring myself to the verge of tears.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
@Phillyvol85@SamSeder Sometimes you fall for jingoistic propaganda, it’s much more the fault of the politicians who make war than the young people naive enough to believe in sacrifice for a greater good!

@jubileemedia@ggreenwald Beside the point, but what does she mean by the Biden admin being “ahistoric” like does she mean to use ahistoric as an inverse like infamous is to famous? Bizarre
