Thought for the year

“Please remember throughout 2024: History shows that when our democracy rolls into action, with Americans engaged in our system, voting and alert to both the joys and tragedies of our past, it can be an awesome and glorious machine. But only if you are not a passive spectator.” – Michael Beschloss, Presidential Historian

Trumpeter and insurrection

I was MSNBC with Rachel et al this afternoon, and she had Michael Beschloss on, talking about insurrections.

The one for the Civil War, and then he spoke about another one after the Civil War. I cannot remember what he called it, and probably need to look up somehistory. But here is what I though:

We all need to let the trumpeter know he was second or third. That will get his goat, and maybe he will trip up and yell that HE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO SET UP AN INSURRECTION. He cannot be second, certainly not third.

So maybe we should all look up what Beschloss was talking about, and find a way to mock the trumpeter that he was not first.

Author and presidential historian Michael Beschloss talks about the radical realignment of the Republican Party since 2012 which turned it into a team of servants for Putin.

Ronald Reagan famously warned Americans about the Evil Empire. He'd be disappointed to see the GOP of the 2020s willingly working for a secret police colonel from that Evil Empire.

NATO is now stronger than ever. When Finland joined this year it roughly doubled Russia's land border with NATO countries. Russia's army has proven to be pathetic. A country less than a third of Russia's size has inflicted hundreds of thousands of casualties on Russia, destroyed thousands of its armored vehicles, and has even sunk several of its warships.

Republicans want to throw Putin a lifeline and help him threaten American allies in Europe. This is because Donald Trump is a Putin puppet and because Trump is butthurt about President Zelenskyy not being able to provide him with "dirt" during the infamous perfect phone call.

The border problem with Russia is exponentially worse than any border problem with Mexico. Mexico is just an excuse to enable House GOP members to kowtow to Trump who, in turn, is in thrall to Putin.
