John, I also have never eaten at a Taco Bell. In 1984, however, I did order a Pepsi on 4 occasions to collect the Star Trek III: The Search For Spock collectible glasses. ;-)
On a more serious topic - regarding the Trump/Vance/Zelensky performance, you make an interesting point above about Vance setting off Trump. Do you think Vance has his own agenda, and is trying to manipulate Trump into doing his bidding (at least with regards to Ukraine)?
Vance's utter disdain for Ukraine is well documented. I've never understood where it comes from, but he clearly wants Ukraine to suffer, and I think he does (like many others) know how to manipulate Trump. Whether it's an "agenda" with him, or something more ideological, I don't know. But he was very much the catalyst for what happened in that meeting.
Okay Sir John so you believe that Hegseth’s orders were moronic rather than treasonous.. Okay fine but then WHY would Hegseth give such moronic orders in the first place? This makes no sense to me
If this indeed happened, the directive would have come from Trump. Trump admires Putin, he desperately wants Putin's approval, it's important to him that Putin likes him, and he thinks buttering Putin up will magically lead to good things.
Remember Trump's proposed cyber partnership from the first term?
If I am understanding everything I hear correctly, the Boston Mayor wants Federal funds to support illegal migrants in her city, but yet also doesn’t want to comply with Federal Immigration law. Someone make sense of this.
I tried to find something in your conversation with which I might disagree. No luck … Aloha, Mike
Mi ciudad tiene nombre en español. Qué hago?
They might have to rename it after they put it through Google translate.
Will keep the bureaucrats busy for years! Goodbye San José, Hello Saint Joseph!

I'm glad they found Spock.

The reason for this stuff is the same reason Trump is throwing Ukraine to the wolves... in a new, disgusting way just about every day now.

You pretty much nailed it.
You are bang on about Covid-19 and the way it was handled in the US.
