According to DJT, who has a brain with more holes than Swiss cheese, and it is going further into dementia, global warming is the biggest con in the world. But being a con man himself, he supports one con after another. He is one of the most foolish and ignorant people on the planet

Very true. Lots of #fascists in England. #Churhill had members of the #HouseofCommons and the #HouseofLords arrested. # #Johnamery, an English #fascist sympathiser who broadcast for #NaziGermany and whose father was in Churchill's cabinet. He was hanged.

The shadow is what you will become if you don't control your appetite, and the best way to do this is by #chainsmoking #cigarettes #luckystrikes #Stalin crumbled 3LuckyStrikes in his pipe and smoked them. Good old #UncleJoe. He only #killed40 million people. Mistakes were made.

He didn't stop it. Pizzaro did by wrecking the Inca Empire. Who are we to say what the Indigenous people were doing was wrong when we have sacrificed millions in WW1 and WW2.

RFK, if from a wealthy family, most of whom have succeeded in some sort of public endeavour to help people. He desperately wants to achieve the good reputation of the other Kennedys and show he is something other than a trust fund boy. The major problem is---he's an idiot.

I have a primary care doctor, but usually get my vaccinations at the local pharmacy.

At least Churchill had the pleasure of ordering Mosley's arrest and that of his wife, Diana. She stayed loyal to Hitler her entire life.

I think Noem used to be a stripper. She's had a lot of plastic surgery over the years. She is also big on family values, but lives with her boyfriend of many years instead of her husband. I think this is called adultery and is against the Ten Commandments, but those don't apply to Trump and his crew

Inside the wreck of World War 2-era German destroyer Georg Thiele, which fought in both the naval battles in the Narvik Fjord and had to be beached to avoid sinking. It's a popular diving site now.

The German #Zerstörer 1934A class destroyer Z11 #BerndvonArnim beached and scuttled in the fjord #Rombaksbotn near #Narvik in #Norway. Second Battle of Narvik. The swastika is an aircraft recognition symbol. Fortunately, in the two naval engagements, the RN sank half of Germany's modern destroyers

The whistleblower report detailed in The New Yorker alleged repeated instances of Hegseth drinking heavily at work events, including a team outing to a strip club in LA in Nov 2014 in which he became so inebriated he “had to be restrained” from climbing onstage to dance with the strippers.
