was this during his Paris years after the War when he was trying to rehabilitate Sophie who lost her way after the death of her husband and children?

to quote the Sam Elliot character in The Big Lebowski "parts anyway"

This is such a weird episode

What's more Tarik will invest that money in a machine that allows us to clone our favorite pets after they die.

Interesting thing occurred to me. This map reflects the difference between a country in which Russian troops were and where US and British troops were stationed between 1945 and 1989. I often think of the value and knock on effect on the US troops who came out of their rural and urban provincialist upbringings and lived among the strange German society totally different from what they were used. I really hadn't given too much thought to my German friends who also were exposed to the random US cultures. They were into hip hop, heavy metal and liked American sports. They lost their minds for Tom Cruise in Top Gun. Their dads seemed ok to have US servicemembers date their daughters even if there was a bit of an age discrepancy (that actually still blows my mind). Not sure how you fix the gap between that acculturation and whatever the hell happened in East Germany. Stationing troops there isn't really in the long range plan unless Poland is invaded and we need to build up our buffers.

He had time to make a GDT this morning

Mr. President and Mr. Musk, have you divested?

I was going to start a thread on the topic: The Social Safety Net Offends the Ghost of Ayn Rand but man...this crap is not funny.

This fiction about the best month ever is really not a good sign of his mental stability.

JD VANCE and Mike Johnson will bring their own insanities.

Think the WH press corp needs to make a stink and loud.

When will President Trump divest himself from his business interests?

I had to resist tossing my dog’s excrement onto a Tesla tonight. It’s probably not enough to be worried that my neighbor will see me do that.

At some point you have to think a judge uses this as evidence that the Executive Branch is overreaching its authority. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/02/25/trump-covington-burling-jack-smith/
