Jo Biden was just diagnosed with aggressive cancer. 1. F*ck you to all the vultures who have fixated on his health while ignoring both Trump's current mental condition and dismembering of democracy. 2. Even at 50% capacity, Biden was 100 times the President Trump will ever be.
A Vile Monday, a Full Belly, and a Lizard Decapitation

Maybe let's not play partisan games with a cancer diagnosis, okay?
Joe Biden is a public servant. He’s served his country proudly his entire life. He deserves an opportunity to rest, be with his family, and have a fighting chance at recovery.
I took this pic of then Vice President Joe Biden in the Oval Office back in September 2015. The Biden I remember from those days always seemed to enjoy the give and take with reporters. Of course, he wanted to be president. But he sat out the 2016 campaign after losing his son Beau to cancer. I’ll never forget how, during the 2020 campai…

Remember that in 1980, Ronald Reagan declared himself for states' rights in Philadelphia, Mississippi, near where the Freedom Summer killings occurred and the KKK had reigned, then his campaign sabotaged the release of the hostages from Iran to hurt Jimmy Carter's reelection campaign. The republican party really hasn't changed.
Evil including Ike, who made the great scumbag John Foster Dulles his Secretary of State.
Overthrow of Mossadegh in Iran in 1953, destroying the last chance for a modern, western-oriented nationalism to take power in the Mideast. Installing the Shah led directly to the revolution of 1978 and our non-relationship with Iran today.
Overthrow of Jacobo Arbenz in Guatemala in 1954, who wanted to institute land reform and allow the peasants of Central America a chance to join the 20th century - leading…
And next chapter of the Chicago School of ruining the economics of many SA countries while supporting & creating police states in Chile & Argentina.etc.

Kennedy as president in 1960. America’s wars in Southeast Asia were a long time coming. The United States had been effectively at war in Southeast Asia since 1950, and in many ways for much longer than that.
TC, you have a vast political, historical and military knowledge of Asia. I do not. But the economic and political realities in SA were 1st scary. And have informed my reading and d growth ever since.
