He is. ( Or were you trying take a jab at me? Some Poindexters do…)
Of course not! I was describing the picture of him you posted and thinking of Stranger Things.
Such an old TV show. Are you sure you wouldn’t rather watch ‘Firefly’…?
Aww, he looks old & tired.
Yet what I notice must be one of those massive flagpoles. Am I seeing the flag touching the ground? I wasn’t a boy scout, yet didn’t that mean it had to be burned? Along with anyone in proximity of such desecration (excepting Marines).
Who knows more about the flag than Google?
is it allowed for the USA flag to touch the ground?
No, according to the U.S. Flag Code (4 U.S. Code § 8), the flag is never supposed to touch the ground or anything beneath it.etiquette and respect intended to keep the flag clean, undamaged, and dignified as the symbol of the nation.
I think the burning is only for old, tattered flags and doesn’t include people. I used to have my grandfather’s 48 star flag (good condition) hanging in my billiards room and was told that needed to be folded and tucked away or given to the VOA or the like for a respectful burning.

It’s the independent who do not usually use hyperbole.

One of the first signs of a failing relationship.
That’s probably a regular flag lowering for the night (the flag code IBL requires they not be flown overnight unless brightly illuminated), as I think I can make out a couple of persons at the pole to collect the flag.
Still an iconic image for this maladministration, though

The United Nations is putting the felon in charge of Gaza. (The bolding is mine.)
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The Trump administration’s blueprint to secure and govern Gaza won strong approval at the United Nations on Monday, a crucial step that provides international support for U.S. efforts to move the devastated territory toward peace following two years of war.
The U.S. resolution that passed the U.N. Security Council authorizes an international stabilization force to provide security in Gaza, approves a transitional authority to be overseen by President Donald Trump and envisions a possible future path to an independent Palestinian state.
“This will go down as one of the biggest approvals in the History of the United Nations, will lead to further Peace all over the World, and is a moment of true Historic proportion!” Trump posted on social media.
&
The proposal calls for a yet-to-be-established Board of Peace as a transitional authority that Trump would head. It also provides a wide mandate for the international stabilization force, including overseeing the borders, providing security and demilitarizing the territory. Authorization for the board and force expire at the end of 2027.
Unfuckingbelievable. There’s no way this is going to achieve any kind of success before the built-in expiration date.
I think she just might be starting to get it.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., blasted President Donald Trump on Sunday for his attacks against her in recent weeks, suggesting his rhetoric could be responsible for a recent pipe bomb threat at her construction company.
Then, hours after her post, the local police said her son had been the target of a death threat.
“President Trump’s unwarranted and vicious attacks against me were a dog whistle to dangerous radicals that could lead to serious attacks on me and my family,” Greene wrote Sunday night on X , without providing details about the pipe bomb threat.
Speaking of dangerous radicals, Perjury Traitor Greene, what else have you been up to lately?
Judge goes off on the felon’s fools. (The bolding is mine; the slapdown is all from the judge.)
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department engaged in a “disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps” in the process of securing an indictment against former FBI Director James Comey , a federal judge ruled Monday in directing prosecutors to provide defense lawyers with all grand jury materials from the case.
Those problems, wrote Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick, include “fundamental misstatements of the law” by a prosecutor to the grand jury that indicted Comey in September , the use of potentially privileged communications during the investigation and unexplained irregularities in the transcript of the grand jury proceedings .
“The Court recognizes that the relief sought by the defense is rarely granted,” Fitzpatrick wrote. “However, the record points to a disturbing pattern of profound investigative missteps, missteps that led an FBI agent and a prosecutor to potentially undermine the integrity of the grand jury proceeding.”
Not that the felon and his fools ever intended for Comey to have a fair trial in the first place, but this certainly does seem to show that such an event will be incredibly difficult to occur.
I guess that first amendment is just a tad too pesky to deal with.
During a weekend in which he has raged at critics, Donald Trump lashed out at Seth Meyers, as he has done before, while calling on the NBC late-night host to be fired.
Trump posted on Truth Social on Saturday, “NBC’s Seth Meyers is suffering from an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). He was viewed last night in an uncontrollable rage, likely due to the fact that his ‘show’ is a Ratings DISASTER. Aside from everything else, Meyers has no talent, and NBC should fire him, IMMEDIATELY!”
Soon after Trump’s post on Saturday, Trump’s FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, reposted the president’s angry message to his X account.
ICE agent decided he wants to go to jail himself.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. (KTLA ) — A California man who reportedly works as a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent is accused of illegally detaining a minor at gunpoint while off duty last week.
The Nov. 10 incident , according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, played out at around 10:30 pm outside a home in Temecula.
Attorney Greg Kirakosian, who represents the boy and his family, told Nexstar’s KTLA that the 17-year-old was driving home after dropping a friend off down the street when he saw the suspect, identified by investigators as Gerardo Rodriguez, pointing a gun at his vehicle and demanding he pull over.
“In the moment, I think he was just scared for his life. He had a gun pulled on him, and he was told to immediately stop or else,” Kirakosian explained, referring to the teen. “Then that same person came up to his driver’s side door and pulled him out at gunpoint.”
In footage of the incident obtained by KTLA, the 45-year-old is seen pulling a gun from his waistband as he walks up the street, pointing it at the teen’s truck and demanding he stop the vehicle while reportedly brandishing his badge.
“Freeze, police,” Rodriguez shouts. “Put the car in f—–g park. Get out of the car. Turn it off, get out. You’re speeding in the f—–g neighborhood. Come over here, sit down, get your ass down. You have a driver’s license?”
Only the best, from top to bottom, aren’t they?

Hey, what do the following mean to you?
ROUGH RIDER
MIDNIGHT HAMMER
SOUTHERN SPEAR
They’re all brought to you by War Criminal Hegseth .
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has once again found himself the subject of mockery after debuting the names of several U.S. military operations that turned some heads.
In a caps-lock-filled X post on Friday, the former Fox News anchor listed three different military operations carried out by American personnel.
“OPERATION ROUGH RIDER = Freedom of Navigation for U.S. ships; OPERATION MIDNIGHT HAMMER = Obliteration of Iranian nuclear sites; OPERATION SOUTHERN SPEAR = Destroy Narco-Terrorists killing Americans,” Hegseth wrote in a post viewed 6.8 million times.
“POTUS means business—and the world knows it. Peace Through Strength.”
You were told wrong. American flags never go out of date. You can fly anything from the Continental Flag to the current 50-star version. Being more of a keepsake you might not want to fly your grandfather’s flag but it doesn’t need to be put away, never mind destroyed.
Since 1818, a star for each new state has been added to the flag on the Fourth of July the year immediately following each state's admission. In years in which multiple states have been admitted, the corresponding number of stars were added to the flag. This change has typically been the only change made with each revision of the flag since 1777, with the exception of changes in 1795 and 1818, which increased the number of stripes to 15 and then returned it to 13, respectively. As the exact patte...
I think his petulant BSOD while someone might be dying behind him would be more on point.
I think its almost sure that they will. Trump had been able to successfully sue other media institutions only because he could threaten their burliness interests outside of court if they failed to pay him off. Basically they were less of a law suit than they were a bribery solicitation.
He doesn’t have the same influence over the BBC, and given the British public’s strong dislike of Trump and resentment of America interfering with their affairs their viewers would be very upset if they did give in.
As for the specifics of the case, it wasn’t good journalism up to BBC standards, but it was nothing that Fox News or the Daily Mail don’t do on a daily basis.
They’ve already chopped the heads off their top two execs. Trump’s already won the trophy, the only question is if he gets a cash prize on top.
“Extortion is such an ugly term.”

Although I would take some issue with “country music star”. Even with her MAGA association she’d be lucky to brush up against the D-list.
