Today is Day 165 of Grampa Shitstain’s war on everything and everyone good and decent who will collaborate and give this broken piece of shit the slightest acceptance.
I’m too lazy to look back to see what Dave Conant said the other day when he encouraged you to stop restraining your feelings, for fear you might suffer an ulcer or worse…
Between you and JoJo from Jerz, I marvel at the imagery, vocabulary of choice and more… I’m definitely modeled after the Allen portion of Burns and Allen… I take it in and appreciate it deeply, but could never originate it. Wowser.
For sure, it provides a release vicariously. Love it. Thanks.
And with today’s double post, I feel very caught up on the latest.
He is, as others have noted, including Vanity Fair, acting more like a Mafioso (in the times he grew up in), which both Walter Lipman and Evan Weiner have told me, based on first-hand knowledge. I still contend that had Wayne Barrett not been dying in 2016 (he died the day before the Mental Midget of Mar-A-Lago was sworn-in, January 19, 2017), he would never of been elected.
This:"Once again, “Krasnov” proves he’s been in Putin’s pocket since the Soviets recruited him as a traitor back in 1987. " There is not enough said about his long love affair with russia and Mafia types. Murkowski...her arrogant statement at some point made we want to punch the screen. I yelled instead. Given the track record of lies, sleight of hand, and contract breaches, if Alaska gets what she thinks she sold the rest of the country out to get and secure her next election in 2026...well I hope there is a decent and strong democrat in Alaska.. not from the clinton wing of stupid right of center silliness. Finally...the nation needs more Mandani's IMO. I sense there are thousands in the opposition taking to the streets. Let's do all we can to grow this part of the democracy movement. I saw a meme the other day which captures a little snippet of what we've been up against with the dems for more than 30 years: YOUR FIRE DEPARTMENT IS SOCIALISM. THE INSURANCE COMPANY DENYING YOUR CLAIM IS CAPITALISM. "Good night and good luck."🌈
If the war in Ukraine is now 3 years old, and we've given the Defense Department over $700 billion in each of those years knowing what weaponry our people and the Ukrainians were using and were going to need, why aren't there warehouses full of all of it?
Biden kept the MIC happy by moving old inventory to Ukraine and bringing in the new. (Wonder if the Taliban wants to sell all that abandoned US hardware and artillery that Faux keeps whining about.)
Congratulations on your new book!! Yay! And Roscoe looks like the Master of the Universe. He is tuxedo perfection. As someone else commented, let's put him in charge.
Re "It was announced yesterday that the U.S. is halting shipments of weapons to Ukraine amid concerns that its own stockpiles have declined too much", it has been my understanding that the bulk of the money appropriated by Congress for arming Ukraine's resistance to the Russian invasion has been spent to U.S. manufacturers for replacing the older materiel sent to Ukraine. Thus, this action has potential to negatively affect those manufacturing companies if and when the current regime has built up stockpiles for the U.S. Or, maybe, stockpiles to support invasions of Greenland and Panama, and even Canada??
As Ally House points out, you know how to wade through the daily cesspool, Tom; therefore, you could probably make your way out of any swamp cell the magas want to detain you in. Have to think they're already planning ahead for native born dissenters, especially journalists and those First Amendment lovers. We have to keep up our commando skills.
The Putin Puss (No offense, Roscoe.) in the White House is proving to be Vlad's most successful destabilizer in the West, as the US war against migrants is in full flame while it's just at high simmer in Europe. We can't see the international forest fire for the trees.
Friend of our wonderful local library here and in a downsizing frenzy. Donated your books to last month's fundraiser book sale and watched one young guy pack up all of them along with "B of B", a Robin Wright tome on the ME, and "What They Carried." Wish you could get a cut of the secondary market, but know that your work has a truly worthy afterlife.
Roscoe looks all-knowing! Great pics!

Congrats on the book agreement. Yayeeeeee
I don't have it handy Katherine, but you got the gist of it.
Looking forward to the new book!
Here, on TAFF, we are
part of the BEST of our
country. We speak our
minds without fear. Our
wordsmith keeps history
on our shelves and E
readers and aprises us
daily on what we need
and must fight for and
against. We buck each
other up and have some
really great cat and pet
photos.
Roscoe is quite
photogenic and very
handsome. 💜

Good post, Tom. Roscoe needs a black tie and a top hat to complete his tuxedo
I love Roscoe. I can’t stand Trump and Co. let’s put Roscoe in charge. Elbows up , claws out😊😻
And back arched, by Jove.
Nice observation and a great image😊
❤️Roscoe❤️ What a handsome fella!

The US Military is socialism. Tell the magas to get over it.

The Taliban will probably do just about anything for cash right now. I'm not sure how good Felon47's credit is.
They could pique Trump and his "Daddy Vladdy" by selling it to Ukraine.
That would work, and it would probably still be better than what the Russians are getting from Iran and the PDRK.
Congratulations on your new book!! ⭐️
Thanks for wading through the cesspool. Roscoe is awesome.

Hey! Don’t trash on Kabuki! 😂
Tom, congratulations on the next book in print and approval of your next project!
It seems D. Earl Stephens has an eye on what is going on.
He's very good. Former editor of Stars and Stripes. He has a substack.
Great news about your newest book project!
