Today I hear that they have rescued the second pilot in Iran. I want proof of life! That's how far I trust the USA's president.

Scary times Jim. To threaten an entire country people back to the stone-age is bad enough but to threaten a western nation back to the Middle Ages is also a catastrophe. Even White Women will be slaves along with any brown or black person. Yet he has the audacity to call those that don't support his war as anti christs! Get religion, any religion out of the White House and the pentagon! I respect anyone's right to worship whomever they want but having someone like Hegseth with his doomsday philosophy leading the military is beyond the pale.

Kissinger tried to bomb Vietnam into the Stone Age. How did that work out? Seems the Pentagon will never learn that "superior" military strength does not always mean victory. A nation defending its very existence often wins. (George Washington and British Empire.)

Wouldn't we and the rest of the world be better off if Hannibal Lector was a real person and he was President of USA?

Constraint is going to mean individual sacrifice (the conscious decision to bear a cost that will be difficult) and bravery.

Is this really the land of the free and the home of the brave? Or does that phrase only describe the Indians who were on this land before the mental plague that began with the arrival of the Puritans?

Trump has stopped pretending he is the President. He has embraced his inner dictator. Jeffrey Lannister comes to mind. Or Nero. Or Mussolini. Or Albert Anastasia.

When is the rest of the Western and civilized world going to snap out of their slumber and wishful thinking and confront this barbarism? At least Iran appears to understand what they are dealing with, and I have to give them full credit for that. American democracy is DOA as soon as Trump replaces what's left of the military command structure with a collection of obedient sycophants, something he has been working at breakneck speed to accomplish. That's the last straw, authoritarian takeover complete.

What a an ugly man, that has control over this nation and the world, sitting in our White House. Fantastic history lesson and how far we've fallen down as a country. Let's hope we can turn this around this November and in 2028. Thank you, Jim, Happy Easter weekend, and will reStack ASAP 🙏

They're bombing themselves back to the Stone Age, thinking they're reaching the pinnacle. No more self awareness than a dog licking its own a**hole in public, as Stonekettle says.
