A Call to Arms

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

Trump Has Given Up

No longer interested in governing, he is filled with rage and obsessed with revenge

Donald Trump will never admit that his gratuitous Iran war has been a total disaster. But the debacle has clearly broken him. So we are now saddled with a president who has given up governing, but will maintain his grip on power wherever he can. And his power will be exclusively focused on rage and revenge.

Hence Trump has appointed Bill Pulte as the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI), a position critical to national security.

The word “acting” is crucial. The statute creating the position of DNI explicitly requires that the appointee “shall have extensive national security expertise.” Pulte, the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, has no background in anything related to national security. So Trump is trying to bypass a Congressional confirmation process that would put Pulte under the spotlight. Even Republicans might shed their slavish obedience at this point, given Trump’s plummeting poll numbers and his betrayal of John Cornyn.

But pointing out that Pulte is unqualified for his new job doesn’t convey the extent to which Trump is trolling America with this new appointment.

Imagine you are trying to get an electrician so you can get your new homes wiring installed. Your neighbor, who hates you, really wants something bad to happen to you or your home. You are oblivious to this and, unfortunately, a rather lazy individual who doesn't even do the smallest bit of work to find the right guy to do the job. Instead, you hire someone you like, but who doesn't know what they are doing. Since he doesn't know what he's doing, he does a LOT wrong, and in the end, he doesn't get much done, but says he finished.

Want to guess what is the most likely outcome? Yeah, your house is going to catch fire and burn to the ground, and that neighbor of yours is going to be so happy. If they have enough money maybe they will come in and buy up your land that no longer has a house? Maybe they will just convince your other neighbors that you are bad and a threat to their homes and lives because of your stupid decisions.

So, for the last few days, all I have been hearing is how "awful" Platner is. I don't know all that much about him as I don't live in Maine. But there are a few things people need to start thinking about, whether they like it or not.

First, people are not paragons of virtue. No one is ever going to line up exactly with what you believe the right candidate should be. If you look critically, you are going to find "problems" with every candidate who runs for office.

With that being said there are few other important points. The accusations are important, and may or may not be true. After all, if they are true then they are a pretty good indicator of the man's character. However, I hate how people demand purity especially when anyone makes an accusation of something. No proof has yet been provided in many cases and yet some move to demand that someone in power resign for the greater good. This political purity could easily lead opposition to assume that if an accusation is bad enough then the accused may just step aside whether they did it or not simply because of the outcry.

I am not saying Platner is innocent, just that no one is perfect, even a candidate whose ideas you may have aligned with.

The thing is, the accusations have started, and they are likely to get worse. Who benefits from this? Collins surely, but also the republican party, and everyone wishing the destruction of America. Platner isn't likely to step aside at this point, but the constant accusations are going to depress excitement from democratic voters. Whether they are true or not, the purists aren't going to vote for Platner.

Here's the problem with that. Collins will win. Republicans will likely retain control of the Senate. Trump will continue to get away with everything he is doing now. Like him or hate him, it is time democrats and independents become pragmatic. Which of these two people are worse for the country?

I am not a Maine voter so my opinion doesn't matter all that much, but this is something those who have the ability to vote there must consider. Which of these two people and their parties will do the least amount of damage to the country until the next election? Collins is a known commodity. We know exactly what she is likely to do in any given situation. She will say something along the lines of how bad something is, but most of the time she will go right along with that evil thing because her party demands it. Platner has problems as well, but his party isn't trying to turn the country into a Christian nationalist fascism.

Judge orders Trump officials to re-install signs and exhibits at national parks on topics like slavery and climate change

President Donald Trump last year directed the Interior Department to make changes to parks, monuments and memorials to address any “false revision of history.”

This vile behaviour is being goaded on by far right agitators and parties like Reform UK and the media pretending like these nasty thuggish arseholes have “legitimate” concerns rather than just being maladjusted, pathetic little cunts who can’t stand their own irrelevance.
