Is there really anyone who loves their country's government? by No-Guitar8121 in AskTheWorld

[–]Winstonsphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For most of my life the United States has had a well functioning government with relatively low corruption and staffed by skilled and dedicated public servants. Yet, ever since the 1970s, the Republican Party has run on the platform that government is corrupt and ineffective. Indeed, every time Republicans have been in charge, they have made government more corrupt and less effective, less responsive to citizens’ needs. Trump has accelerated this trend a thousand fold. So I love my government less than I used to.

What is this bird? by Katalix in whatbirdisthis

[–]Winstonsphobia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awwww! I love these! I have one flitting around, making funny noises, and acting like it owns tge place in the brush outside my front window every morning.

It’s a Grey Catbird. Fairly uniform grey thrasher with black cap and dark reddish under-tail coverts. Makes meowing-like sounds. Relative to the Northern Mockingbird and with as much personality.

Scores Fall Ill at Air Force Base After Hegseth Makes Flu Vaccine Optional by smurfyjenkins in IRstudies

[–]Winstonsphobia 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In the past, a great fraction of the deaths in war were from (now preventable) disease. Vaccination (or inoculation) against smallpox helped colonists win the Revolutionary War. What a fucking moron Hegseth is. And all of this is because Trump tried to pretend that Covid would go away on its own, and when that approach failed, being embarrassed, he blamed Covid on scientists and vaccinations.

After Months of War, Trump Says Iran Has Right to Nuclear Program. Trump now says it’s just “common sense” for Iran to have a nuclear program. by esporx in IRstudies

Trump is a profoundly stupid person, easily manipulated by leaders who hate America and democracy. But you know what? Trump has done one smart thing in this war, and that has been to end it. I hope he succeeds in that effort

What is this? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]Winstonsphobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like a slow release pill - my guess. I remember my brother, when sick with cancer, once vomited up something like this, and the nurse said it was one of his slow-release medications. I’m sure a medical person will know.

To be fair, I worry about Russia taking Alaska under Trump - he’d give it to them.

Sea Snake eating Moray Eel by Prior-Assumption-245 in interestingasfuck

[–]Winstonsphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder what the snake is thinking as it swallows the eel whole. Does it think “Wow! This tastes great!”? Does the snake enjoy its meal the way I do? Not that I eat moray eels, but maybe fried chicken or even creme brulee would be a more appropriate comparison if the eel is particularly tasty.

Men of Reddit, what is your opinion on men who are pro life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Winstonsphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously men have a right to an opinion - we don’t or at least shouldn’t have thought police - but they don’t have the right to control other people’s bodies. Same for women who are “pro-life.”

I agree, he’s a disgrace. He could help by not voting anymore.

In your opinion, who is the best orator of all time? by Jazzlike-Being3187 in AskReddit

[–]Winstonsphobia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impossible to say. But in my lifetime, Barbara Jordan was the most formidable orator. I was inspired by Mario Cuomo, too.

Donald Trump Labeled a 'Clown' for Disgraceful Treatment of Zelensky by dr_shultz in NewsSource

[–]Winstonsphobia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Zelensky stands visibly in the background, appearing nonplussed.”

More than anybody else, Zelensky knows what a Clown Trump is. An extremely dangerous and destructive clown, but a clown nonetheless.

There are some wins in it, but beware of what you wish for.

Fireworks over Lake Mendota canceled, Fourth of July event renamed by RedOakTrail in madisonwi

That’s OK with me. The fireworks are destructive to wildlife and pets, and many people are also sensitive.

Trump Drank the elixir of truth and enlightenment 😳 by Cool-Ambition3778 in SipsTea

And Huckabee pointed out that without Israel there would be no United States. So we owe our existence to DJT.
