@QMS

i've always felt that the blues was uniquely suited to simple instrumentation. some of the best blues performances i've ever heard were from a guy who i heard down in d.c. a couple of times who sang and played the acoustic foot, he was really good.

have a great weekend with your leftovers!

.

She talks about how Bush/cheney lied their asses off about the Iraq war and how it was planned years before it started.
At the end she talks about the UN and how America holds it in contempt
Makes it even worse that Kamala rehabilitated the Cheneys.

@snoopydawg I know it started with some more recent observational-humor comic, but one has to wonder if the blackballing of the name "Karen" was at all catalyzed by a Deep State grudge against her.

of the type of behavior associated with Karens were perpetrated and by females named Karen in the greater SF Bay Area and they were caught on film and went viral in a big way. That was pretty much the origin of that usage, with the term becomng widespread shortly after those events occurred. One involved an "architypical Karen going ballistic and harassing the shit out of some little girl selling lemonade or bottled water or somesuch on a hot day from her porch or front steps for not having a permit. She was doxxed within mhours at most after the event went viral, and almost immediately anybody acting like that was deened a "karen".

be well and have a good one

@enhydra lutris I grew up there, and leaving wasn't my idea - now, every time I hear about the place, it seems like something anathema to everything it used to be.

How's Colma, these days? Living in a literal necropolis sounds like fun.

@joe shikspack

She was against what Israel was doing in Gaza and was told to keep her mouth shut about. Plus she griped about Bush’s free speech zones.

I know that the Iraq war had been planned for years, but what she was talking about was how they were lying to the American people about it. Obviously the lying has gotten much worse, but it bothered her how much they lied.

Funny how the people who have integrity never find themselves at the top of power. Trump is once again filling the swamp!

@snoopydawg @joe shikspack They certainly tried to "rehabilitate" them; doesn't mean they did.

The Cheneys may well have been Kamala's Sarah Palin, a careless choice that sank the ship - of course, when you ARE the 2nd Coming of Sarah Palin, how else could you go downward from there...?

@humphrey

Someone got around to writing what the rules based order rules are.

https://strategic-culture.su/news/2024/11/28/for-future-memory-of-wester...

1. The United States of America is the only Indispensable nation, the Exceptional nation, which is responsible for guiding and commanding the Collective West in defending its interests on any continent, ocean, regions and also in space.

@humphrey

heh, i guess the people that invented "rules based order" will have to pull an all-nighter and come up with a new euphemism for "we'll do as we damned well please."

.....lately, people I pay attention to are talking about a desperate US committing suicide-by-Russia. This is now being addressed by Dmitry Orlov, in Russia. Please listen carefully to what he is saying, especially toward the end, when both men finally understand what they are talking about.

.

....We are talking about a United States, whose military is currently unprepared and severely outgunned by both Russia and China. Read the (Nov. 2024) Executive Summary from the >Commission on the National Defense Strategy, (linked below) which was commissioned by the US Congress, under the auspices of the Rand Organization. Read and research a bit further in order to become informed enough to make an urgent decision about your own security.

[Short PDF] https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/misc/MSA3057-4/RAND_MSA3057-4... Executive Summary.

EXCERPTS: As the Chair and Vice Chair of the Commission on the National Defense Strategy for the United States, we are pleased to submit the Commission’s final report to Congress and the President.

Over the course of our work, the Commission met with the senior civilian and military leaders of the Department of Defense and other departments; congressional leaders from rele- vant committees; private sector representatives; former government officials; experts in the think tank, academic, and federally funded research and development center communities; and foreign allies. We found near-unanimous recognition of the significant challenges to U.S. national security and broad agreement on the need for substantial and wide-ranging change. Our meetings reinforced that people across and outside government are talented and dedicated to U.S. national security but are impeded by systems that are outdated, bureaucratic, or too political to move with the urgency required. Our recommendations address these systems, not the dedicated individuals within them.

The United States faces urgent and monumental challenges. Meeting them will require bold leadership, consensus, and the willingness to change course.

In Congress, a number of elected officials have imposed continual political gamesmanship over thoughtful and responsible legislating and oversight. Fights over the debt ceiling, government funding, spending caps, and hot-button social issues weaken our ability to manage strategic competition with our peer adversaries.

We all agree that past warnings, however clear, have not succeeded in addressing our security shortfalls. Consequently, while some of our conclusions and recommendations are similar to those of past reports, we have also included recommendations to address the entire U.S. national security establishment.

[Now we know why this report was NOT classified, as it should have been. — Pluto]

.

The US is incapable of winning any of the wars it is waging. Its weaponry is weak and inadequate. The People-who-can-think are censored. The people in charge have been brainwashed into stupidity. The depraved and cowardly US Empire Wars that are going on in the world right now are tightly connected to the insanity of the psychopaths controlling Israel, the US Federal Government, and select Western allies. These psychopath-controlled nation-states are on SUICIDE WATCH right now.

We are seeing things we were never supposed to experience during our lifetimes; undeniable incompetence and malfeasance we never expected. Ignore the daily US political shitshow. Don't look away from the Big Picture and figure out if it is possible to protect yourself, or to preserve your intellectual property deep underground.

@Pluto's Republic

thanks for the video, i'm listening to it now.

it strikes me that russia's new weaponry notwithstanding, we are still basically in the same relationship that we have always been in. the only difference is that some delusional neocon morons think that there is some wiggle room where the u.s. can directly attack russia and not face the obvious consequence.

i guess the question is, can americans get rid of the delusional neocon morons before they enact their death cult fantasies of a winnable nuclear war.
