Speaking of rants…

Anyway, it is sort of funny that Trump sidetracked himself imagining himself co-opting “THE God” as part of his title so that he forgot to finish the thought about where Lara Trump “put” Charlemagne tha God (on her show? In his place?) … not entirely funny when you step back and think about the actual POTUS apparently watching a recording of this days old interview & typing out and posting that rant at 1:49 am, but absent that context it is “oh Lord, grandpa’s at it again” funny.
 

A Fight Over a West Point Job Reveals Two Visions of America Under Trump​

Jen Easterly, who had served in Republican and Democratic administrations, was headed to the academy. Then a right-wing activist stepped in.

🎁 —> Laura Loomer Attack on West Point Appointee Reflects Larger Fight Over Trump

“… Over three decades, Ms. Easterly, 57, had compiled an impeccable résumé as a West Point graduate, a Rhodes Scholar and an Afghanistan war veteran. She had served as a key aide on President George W. Bush’s National Security Council and led a critical cybersecurity agency under President Joseph R. Biden Jr.

Now she was blackballed [her offer to teach at West Point rescinded] — in her own words, “a casualty of casually manufactured outrage that drowned out the quiet labor of truth and the steady pulse of integrity.”

The source of the casual outrage arrayed against her was Laura Loomer, a right-wing agitator and self-described “Islamophobe,” who has become a powerful and largely unaccountable enforcer in President Trump’s Washington.…”

Age old story.

23 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You give a tenth of your spices—mint, dill and cumin. But you have neglected the more important matters of the law—justice, mercy and faithfulness. You should have practiced the latter, without neglecting the former.

24 You blind guides! You strain out a gnat but swallow a camel.

25 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

26 Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

27 “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.

28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

That's overstating it a bit.

The reality is that if we get into WW3 with Russia under Trump, the cult will blame Russia, while if it had happened under Biden, the cult would have blamed Biden.

Correction: if we get into WW3 with Russia under Trump, they would blame Russia and Biden. But mostly Biden. And maybe Obama. Probably Hillary too.

Bill Maher lost me when he drifted into anti- science RFK,Jr loony world, but now I see that his lovefest dinner with Trump a few weeks ago may have been successful in bringing Bill into the MAGA cult.

Two possibilities : Bill is now a true believing Trump Moonie or he is pretending to be in hopes that Trump will not cancel his tv show...

What a load of bullshit Maher is spewing about Trump's war on education, and he knows it. So universities support "indoctrination" but what Dear Leader and his minions are advocating isn't? Has he seen what DeSantis and Chris Rufo did to the New College in Florida, or what conservative schools like Liberty or Hillsdale College are like? What a joke Maher has become.

Would this country even be capable of fighting a world war? I think not. We'd fold like WWI Russia and start fighting ourselves.
