The crisis that Trump created in Iran is a total diplomatic mess. So, of course he’s returning to his comfort zone from The Apprentice, of being the big, bad boss. “You’re Fired!”

The joke is that Trump has no authority to fire Powell.
Well, as expected, the non-political homepage sure didn’t last long.
Trump vows to ‘kill’ Iranian warships that near US blockade of ports
Warships? What warships? He said Iran’s navy was obliterated!
Katherine LaNasa is outstanding as Dana, the ER charge nurse on The Pitt. She plays the most realistic, gimmick-free character in the series.
This past week, I witnessed an outburst in the dining room of an assisted living facility. It inspired me to license this comic strip. In any context, what he says and does is crazy.
Are we sure that RFK, Jr. is the only one with a brain worm?
It’s been a couple of years since I last wrinkled up my nose and pursed my lips in disdain of William F. Buckley. A man of too many words who could be curiously inarticulate when presenting his half-baked ideas.
The video here is from 1974. A corrupt president had resigned, and America was reeling not only from that, but also the hard lesson of oil dependency. A lesson we are learning again under another corrupt president, who I wish very much would resign.
I was into watching Firing Line, so I may have seen this at the time. William E. Simon was Treasury Secretary. Simon was a class of Republican represented more recently by Mitt Romney.
Remind us again, Zoltar, what you said on New Year’s Day when asked if there was any hope for 2026.
America, not Iran, is the country that’s being forced to surrender after Trump’s deranged threats. As Trump’s niece Mary has said, “There is no worst with Donald. Each day is worse.” So here we are again, with Trump backing down with another two-week delay. It’s always two more weeks with Trump. He will continue to drag us from one manufactured crisis to another until he is gone from office. But when will he finally be gone?
There is more than enough reason to not bother with the impeachment process for a third time, and instead to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. But whose responsibility is it to do that? Of course it’s VP J.D. and Trump’s cabinet of incompetent lick-spittles. We are all so totally fu*ked.
One bright spot is the Artemis 2 Moon mission. I’m looking forward to the crew’s return, when they will display their fantastic new super powers from cosmic ray exposure.
