seeing reference to Trump demanding the nuclear codes on Saturday night and Gen Caine stopping him. Can someone find a source to that?

at least he's worried. Insert meme of Doogie Houser mind melding with the brain bug in Starship Troopers and declaring "its afraid!" and everyone cheering.

Plenty of feds all over who are offended by the regime's behavior. Him putting his name on the money is one of those subtle things. But it really spoke to this all being a vanity project.

Thats the ball game.

Virginia redistricting referendum margin of victory? Odds & Predictions 2026 Will the Virginia redistricting referendum pass? Odds & Predictions 2026 The public thinks it will pass at any rate. The margin will matter.

Watch tonight. The no vote put tons of dark money into the race and lied and cheated and stole. If the Yes vote crushes the No vote, that will tell you a lot.

Roosevelt was particularly foolish about thinking he could charm Stalin, his generals and his ministers. According to this book I'm reading about Hitler and Stalin (author Lawrence Rees), when one of the British foreign affairs ministers went to knock on Molotov's door one night when he was in Britain for a conference, Molotov answered the door with a pistol in his hand. That environment of paranoia does not lend itself to charm offensives.

that right there is emperor not only has new clothes but he's baying at the moon stuff. Aka high on his own supply. You don't think people would check, Donald? You gonna put yourself up there with Nixon and LBJ? I think this one calls for an explanation. Nixon ended Vietnam with something like detente with the Soviets and improved relations with the PRC despite losing the political struggle to save the RVN.

went looking for Scott Macfarlane's bsky account and found this.

Well, I'm sure Eisenhower et.al., were happier the Soviets were bashing heads with the Nazis as well. You don't need to make friends but allies can be helpful.

I recall an interview he gave in Spring Training when he hit a HR and Bernie Smilovitz asked him what pitch did he hit and Rob Deer just looked at him like he had three heads. Eventually snorting out an answer like "I dunno"

Drove by a polling place here in Chantilly and all yes signs: fingers crossed.

To quote Jim Price: Nice area. We routinely play the VGSL. They have nicer fields for each level than we do. The number of teams allows them to play more internal scrimmages than we can too.

When one Trump appointnee leaves for some reason not scandalous

Woah!
