A FAFO list - add your own

I must say, this is terrifying stuff.

I am minded to add this poem, by Shelley, no not me… :wink:

"I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

It explains that the worst of tyrants, must pass into oblivion…

Take some solace in that at least.

As I have said before, the drumpfuhrer’s days are numbered. There is a queue of wanna be Amerikan Reich Kaisers waiting in line. A successful assassination, or a long (short) illness will see him off before the midterms. With Vance doing the bidding the great ones…or one, if the Muskrat is still in his bunker in the West Wing…then shit will really get crazy.

Check it out: a reverse FAFO. Canada Fs around and finds out what it’s like to be part of the loud, messy, belligerent, lifted truck party to its south.

Come on, Canada. This is the easy route to avoiding those tariffs, isn’t it?

“As you probably know, I say, ‘You can always become a state, and if you’re a state, we won’t have a deficit. We won’t have to tariff you.’”

It’s almost like our southern neighbor has a President who doesn’t respect boundaries. Hmmm :thinking: who knew?

The guy’s an embarrassment to the country and a laughingstock on the world stage. We deserve better, but apparently 49.9% of the country didn’t think so.

Sooo…that’s something I don’t quite get. From what utterances Mr. Orange make on the matter, it sounds like he quite honestly thinks that countries exporting shit to the USA have to pay the tariffs, and the US customers get away with paying the same price as before. Now my question is: Is this what he actually means, and if so, are really the MAGAists dense enough to actually believe it?

Trump tells his christian voters that they won’t have to vote anymore if he is elected. Then, unsurprisingly:

Tennessee Republican proposes amendment to allow Trump to serve third term

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

Ogles proposed an amendment Thursday that says, “No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than three times, nor be elected to any additional term after being elected to two consecutive terms, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice.”

Tennessee Republican women’s group cites Hitler in promoting its reading list

The Tennessee Federation of Republican Women is coming under fire for providing parents a reading list for children that cites Adolf Hitler as an example of leadership.

“Hitler and all intelligent leaders throughout history have understood that the way to change a country was through the training of its youth, to get them while they are young,” the group’s reading list says.

You have to love the euphemism of the word “train” there, it took years to undo the awful indoctrination of the vile Hitler youth movement, after the war.

I guess Denmark :denmark: is getting the same “offer” as Canada :canada:

For a man who claimed to not want to get involved in any foreign wars or conflicts, he is “not” ruling out military force abroad an awful lot in just his first week.

Do we reckon the Donald actually knows where Denmark is geographically? If the giant oompa loompa wants a geographical ally against Russia, then the Ukraine would seem ideal.
