Trump: "Our country is making hundreds of billions of dollars on oil. and then on top of it we have Venezuela, and we have Greenland! 'We're making trillions of dollars. But my people said 'please don't mention that, sir, because people are paying a little higher'... we're making a frickin' fortune"

Presumably this will last until someone notices that pardons remove 5th Amendment protections, but I suppose with this gang of clowns you never know.

I guess this is one way to keep young people interested in working for Republicans. "So, yeah, benefits include 401k, FSA, a full pardon, and dental."

from soical media - β€œAccidents happen.” That’s the Pentagon’s entire explanation, in an unsigned statement, for what happened to one of two globes the Army says Eisenhower used while planning World War II. " Was Ike really planning all of WWII? Was he using a globe to plan troop movements?

"Old, broken, dilapidated and of no further use or effect" is the perfect description of the current administration. War driving up fuel prices and he's worried about golf courses.

Breaking: Trump says he'll close East Potomac golf course Nov 15 and begin his overhaul. "The current Course is old, broken, dilapidated, and of no further use or effect," Trump wrote. Officials didn't immediately respond to Qs about cost and other parts of project. More with Rick Maese β†’

A Venezuelan resident recorded himself running down the stairs of his apartment building as two powerful earthquakes struck the country. The video shows significant cracks in the stairwell.

How many kilotons of TNT do you bring to peace negotiations? Has he ever heard of Ulysses S 'Unconditional Surrender' Grant? Hitlers last negotiating tactic was cowardly suicide.

πŸ˜±πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΈThe Vice President of the United States thinks WWII ended through a negotiation.

Working on MiniArt's BRC40, it's very light in detail. Then there's these brackets on the leaf springs. Separate l/r side parts with one tab but they are not square. Absolutely no way to tell from directions which way they go. Loving my new tool though. A jewel picker. #histscalemodels

50/50 think I got it right on the left side. Or is it right on the right? Right side up or wrong side down? Which left? Top? Bottom? Who cares, it's for the fun of it! Passenger's side (USA) seems to be correct orientation. Glad I'm only a 'little bit' OCD and 'detail oriented'.

Working towards specific personal goals with #histscalemodels and starting my 3rd build. I want to develop diorama skills; it will be a Tamiya for easy construction b4 scenery. But which photo should I ( try to) recreate and what scale? Open to suggestions. Both are from the Hurtgen Forest.

T- Get the Pope a gift, get him some crystal the state dept likes to give [Steuben] Staff- yes, but what? T takes another bite of the McD's he's had catered in. T- get him one of those footed bowls I saw in the catalogue Staff- a football? did you say football? T- nom nom, yeah, thats it Marco- ?

Pope Bob is a Chicago White Sox fan, right? Baseball, not football?

Credit Card spending is DEBT!!!! Americans are going deeper in debt to pay for food and gas. They think that's good. It is, for those who hold the debt.

Hassett on American consumers: "Credit card spending is through the roof. They're spending more on gasoline, but they're spending more on everything else too."

Not a work of art but I'm proud. First model in 35 years. First Armor model ever. Smallest scale I've ever done-1/48. Vallejo Color thinned with isopropyl alcohol. Wrong color, barrel not parallel to centerline, every bit has been a learning exercise. Still learning. #histscalemodels #scalemodel

Some additional paint tomorrow to fix, (guess they really mean it when they say let acrylics cure before touching) then gloss varnish, decals, some panel line wash and then some matte varnish. Already building next one. Will try some weathering when next one's ready for it.

Another question for any thinkers out there; Why are β€œwe the people” paying $60bn to $100bn+ every year to have a congress who is on vacation 90% of the time, and refuses to do anything β€œFORβ€œ we the people??!?!? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈπŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Surely the Strait of Hormuz will remain the only toolbooth in global shipping and navigation around the world, no way it becomes a model for countries seeking independence and treasure

Am I the only who can hear this in Doolys voice, and who it makes actually cry?

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5. My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

I've never seen this before but my reaction is huh? what horror would be five. I mean, I can not only see the apple in my mind but it comes with smell. i'm a negative number on that scale

Trump is in a very weak position, and a terrorist incident would be a desperate move. But it will work if we sleepwalk, look away, and let it happen. (14/17)

Now that we've confirmed all souls have been returned from Iran, we should all take a moment and thank some very specific members of the teams needed. The USAF Pararescue or PJ is, in my opinion, the absolute pinnacle of devotion and achievement in the military.

The parajumper is fully equipped, highly trained, willing to enter the field of combat any time by any means, all for the simple purpose, "that others may live". No doubt they were involved in the past 24 hrs, and damn glad for it.

Bondi crashes out over Epstein: "The Dow is over 50,000 dollars! I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000, and the Nasdaq smashing records. That's what we should be talking about."

β€œIt will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day β€” it’s like a miracle β€” it will disappear"
