He had nothing to do with that. In fact, every intelligence source in the world was taken by surprise when the Soviet Union not only fell, but also that it happened so quickly, and with fairly little bloodshed. NOBODY saw it coming.
It happened on his watch, but not because of him, but Conservatives like to take credit anyway.
Historians generally like to wait about a decade after a president leaves office before they start evaluating his presidency. Some policies take time to bloom, and there might be policies that later make that administration look better, or worse.
In Trump’s case, he was such a terrible president, that historians pretty much installed him in last place immediately after his first term. Obviously, his second term has only confirmed what historians concluded already.
It’s not just because his policies have been so terrible, although that alone would bury him, it’s also the fact that he’s a proven Traitor in multiple ways (the Jan 6 coup, the false electors plot, stolen documents, foreign collusion, bribery from hostile nations, etc).
He is such a terrible president, that even Biden’s ranking has suffered, because he allowed MAGA to rise again, and allowed Trump to regain power.
He is EASILY the worst president in history, and that is before the fact that he is likely to end up in prison or even executed, has been factored in.
When this is over, we have to pass a law making it illegal to name anything after Donald Trump, with one exception: Sewage Treatment Plants. Then people who live nearby can say things like “Wow, Trump smells particularly bad today.”
But seriously, we have to make sure nothing can ever be named after him.
Every decade or so, I buy a spool of twist tie cable, with a little cutter on it. It gives me twist-ties of any length I want. It’s super handy.
I gave a spool to my Father-In-Law, and you’d think it was the greatest gift he’d ever received.
I haven’t used it for a while, so I thought I’d take it out for a spin.
It’s awesome stuff, spicy, but not too, with a really delicious flavor.
If it comes down to Civil War, the military will be wildly fractured, and regional. Most of your daily danger will come from gangs of local marauders who will fancy themselves as militias. Those people can be handled with a bit of smarts and intelligence.
Remember, MAGA always thinks they will win in one big punch. They never have a plan for the next steps, responses, consequences, etc., they never have a Plan B, and they ALWAYS think their opponent is Stupid, and will never anticipate their grade school playground plan. Use their virtuosic incompetence against them.
Stupid, sexy koi fish.
I don’t know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I’ve never heard one word from him, and don’t even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I’m not even a Democrat.
As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:
Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)
Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them
Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we’ll pay for it.
AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.
Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.
ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.
Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won’t disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.
Health Care: What health care?
Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won’t ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can’t afford ANYTHING.
MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it’s somehow legal?
The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.
Mass Surveillance: If you aren’t doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What’s illegal? EVERYTHING!
Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.
These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America’s future.
She’s so hot, and she’ll never fuck a troll like me, no matter how rich I am, so she needs to DIE!
The reaction of the average MAGA.
That picture is going to come in handy.
I add whatever leftovers I have, especially meat. The pickings from a rotisserie chicken, an extra pork chop (diced), etc. Then add carrots, celery, etc., soy sauce, swirl in an egg, and a spoon of gojuchang paste, and it’s delicious. I make it about once a week.
Gojujang is my favorite, but skip the bottles. Get the good stuff that comes in little tubs. You can get them on Amazon, but my Publix recently started carrying it.
“In a firing squad. I just don’t know which side I’ll be on.”
Basically, Facebook’s argument is “Than was Then, This is Now,” and New Mexico is saying, yeah, that’s nice, but you still have to pay for what you did back Then.
Is there a public library nearby? They are quiet, accepting, and they would never tolerate any nonsense, so nobody will bother you.
