Seems Weird to Me

 

There's something that strikes me as a little ghastly about Trump using Gold Star families and the graves of heroic dead as a prop for a photo-op with his trademark "thumbs-up" pose. It's out of place in a "Happy Memorial Day" sort of way. He was there ostensibly for the wreath-laying ceremony, but actually to rip the Biden Administration for the Afghanistan withdrawal as part of his campaign.

His criticisms are not surprising, but they do serve to remind us who he is.

In other unsurprising news, Trump was endorsed by former Democratic Rep. and Tucker Carlson fill-in host Tulsi Gabbard. For what her opinion is worth

Her opinion. for example, is about the same and certainly no better than RFK Jr.'s on Trump and, well, NATO, and she cites Pro-Putin propaganda



Although unlike RFK Jr. she has, to my knowledge, never severed a whale's head with a chainsaw and driven around with it strapped to her car. Which is a real thing, apparently. 

Just potential Trump 2.0 cabinet members, is all. But it just seems weird to me. I used to think I knew the GOP. 

But they are something of a happy family, no? Just a little weird, right?

They've been past weird and well into and almost through creepy and into scary-weird, to me. Weird definitely fits!

it amazes me that these dumbasses can use those DARVO excuses about ukraine when it's like, "dude, poland is in NATO for twenty five fucking years. poland borders russia. your lies are no longer operative statements (or whatever that quote was). we have google maps ."

it's so fucking pathetic. if they didn't have giant, fascist media organs blasting out lies 24/7, the entire house of cards would collapse.

I always wonder what "aggressive expansionism" is supposed to mean--last I checked, NATO isn't aiming a missile at anyone's head to join--countries become, let's say "NATO-curious" because of Russia's words and deeds. They are also a little confused about who violated whose borders and when. Ukraine purposefully not being in NATO didn't save them. Putin is NATO's best salesman.

When Russia Has Shown You Who They Are
