    Kimmel calls Trump Napoleon Bonespur. [spelling may need revision] I'm not sure that's the ideal solution, BUT ! I'm not sure there is an ideal solution here. We can apply insight from the fable of Pandora's Box. R5, your #321 inspires me to consider: the intention seems to be oriented toward...

    The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

    Optimist! Trump likes chaos. This situation is chaotic. One perspective is it's already faltered. VP Vance was set to negotiate, reports indicate Iran unilaterally withdrew from that negotiation before it began. In the U.S., sometimes audience members may root for the underdog, mirroring the...

    The war in Iran (or whose war is it anyways?)

    Indeed. That's already been reported. So to reduce security against Iran from what Obama / JCPOA accomplished, Trump expended over a dozen U.S. service members, $tens of $Billions in mortal combat, and then $hundreds of $Billions to bribe Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz? President Trump is a...

    Dr. Tyson, Perhaps that depends upon whether we drop in on the alien, or he / she / it drops in on Earth. If we drop a cosmonaut, or a robot probe onto a world we haven't explored, any life at all may qualify for the category, even a relatively simple photo-synthesizer. But the alien drops in...

    The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America

    #3,428 Here R5 is right on the law, wrong on the president. And to be illegal, it doesn't. I know. He's POTUS. We may lapse, and think perhaps he's inclined to operate within the law. Wrong. Anyone finding themselves swerving that far off course should remind themselves of Jan. 6. Armed...
