God Bless America!

lol

I'm the name of Memorial Day, I got kicked off a Naval air base today. Not joking!

I used to spend most Memorial Days watching Band of Brothers, about the US soldiers and their allies who saved civilization from the Nazis/Japanese and all their evil. It really happened, not that long ago either. And it was ordinary men like Major Dick Winters who did it. Never forget!

I don't feel that saved

Good quote I just ran across on a Christian lady's substack:

Filthy why don't you wear a helmet all the time? And everyone else maybe.

i've experimented with this.

first started when I was 7. I had a motorcycle helmet, and I wore it to sleep a few times in case there was an earthquake at night.

in high school my one friend was a really bad driver, and i'd wear a helmet everytime I got in a car with him.

for more comfort, sometimes i'd wear my bicycle helmet just during the day.

but for me I decided it was too uncomfortable, awkward, inconvenient, and it was never saving my head

but probably smart to generally wear helmets, especially something light weight like a bicycle helmet.. and then maybe wear a more serious helmet when in a car

i've also thought about wearing motorcycle clothes normally too. it's pretty good armor

Found the article that this quote was from.

She seems nuts.

WE HAVE A VERDICT

In what

Trump case

Guilty on all 34 felony counts

Trumps fund raising site has crashed. Probably liberal hackers hehe.

I checked out MSNBC and CNN expecting balloons and confetti. Nothing. They seem as pissed off as FoxNews. You gotta celebrate your wins.

They're saving it for the sentencing, or if Trump somehow manages to get sent to Rikers before sentencing. He's going to jail, book it.

Not going to lie, the troll in me would be quite amused if this backfired spectacularly in November. Not enough to vote for Trump, but still.

You just nailed Trump's only redeeming feature. Well maybe another one is that he's a republican.

Putin said there will be grave consequences if Ukraine uses western weapons inside Russia... and USA and Germany gave ukraine permission to use western weapons inside Russia

sigh

also, I might not have all the facts right

Putin has said a lot of things. F16's, missiles, seized Russian assets, US EWACS support...

So far, he's all hot air.

Can't wait for the next flavor of 'worse'!

Unrelated, but I honestly feel pretty indifferent about the Trump verdict. Honestly seems like his supporters are happier than Democrats. They like this stuff. Democrats need to erase any and all standards if they hope to compete with the GOP these days.

The people in charge of things in Washington (lol at anyone who thinks that Biden actually wears the pants) are doing their level best to kick off WW3 before November.

Though I do believe the ability to use inside Russia is limited to near the Kharkiv front. Or at least I read that somewhere.

What're the odds in 500 years trump is a religious figure

gotta be minuscule. probably a better chance there won't be any civilizations. but that doesn't mean trump wouldn't be a religious figure

but over the past several thousand years, we only have a handful of religious figures. so gotta be really long odds that trump turns out to be one.

I'd put greta Thornburg over him, and Madonna, Taylor swift, Muhammed Ali, picasso, Beethoven, capurnicus, Carl Sagan, that bud light dog, Darth vader, etc

I already see lots of bent knees.

I'd say like 5% chance but less likely with the Internet etc of becoming a sort of deity.

You walk in a room and it has two poker tables. At one, the players are all wearing MAGA hats. At the other, they are all chanting Biden, Biden, Biden. Which table do you sit at?

in my experience, no discernible difference in fishiness, but MAGA table will be higher stakes

maybe just cuz I only see LA/SF maga people... who are gonna have a lot more money than alabama maga people
