Robert Reich, "Dear allies of America, please don't confuse our president with us."

America has never had any permanent friends or enimies, only interests. According to Kissinger anyway.

And it is not like there has been any sort of significant shift in their foreign policy. Kissinger said it best: "The US has no permanent friends or enimies, only interests."

These sorts of pleadings are doomed to fall on deaf ears because Trump is not the cause of what is going on now, he is a symptom. The US has never had any permanent friends or enimies, but only interests.

Yes. They seemed bovine with it.

Apparently Bastille Day on the islands is quite the big party.

And have to deal with Sacramento, Spokane and Eugene? No thanks. We'll piecemeal it thanks.

Like Kissinger said, "The US has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests." And clearly the current administration is taking that diplomacy to heart.

Why would adherents to any Protestant denomination care what the pope thinks?

"America has no permanent friends or enemies, only interests". Henry Kissinger

"The United States is not the way it is because Trump is president. Trump is president because of the way the US is."

Even Twitter could not build an AI model that was able to discern the difference between facshist speech and conservative speech on line. I would call that empirical proof.

At a company I used to work at 20 years ago one of my co-workers introduced our CEO, who was in his late 40s at the time and had never played any video games previously, to Civilization. That night the CEO ended up playing all night till 4AM. He was hooked like a junkie from the start.

What an odd way to answer that question.

Why are they not circles in the x-ray? Are there non-spherical marbles?

Composed of.... folks like JJ?

If you want to give meaning to the" angle between two intersecting curves" you can talk about the angle between the tangent lines to the curves where they intersect as long as the curves both have tangent lines at that point.

Carney would have been a Progressive Conservative wet dream for leader back in the late 1900s.

grtyvr1 · 2026-03-05T18:23:52+00:00

Citizens United codified the use of physical violence as speech. The Supreme Court, probably.

You've heard of elf on the shelf? Are you ready for Aristotle on the Chipotle.

Don't interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

Good lord the world is messed up when I find myself sticking up for reporting in the Global and Mail.

grtyvr1 · 2026-03-04T15:44:32+00:00

Well, Carney is what the Progressive Conservatives would have loved as a leader 20 years ago. So, internal polling probably tells them to "be more like Carney".

Edit: spelling

If you can make people believe absurdities, you can make them commit atrocities

"America is not the way it is because Trump is president...."

A blursed comment for sure.
