I wonder if "generalbetrayus" (how cute) could keep up with Trump for a work week.

Apparently AP is too stupid .

I think quoting just that much is fitting.

Trump only sleeps 4-5 hours per day. He usually goes to bed around 1AM and gets up at about 5AM.

He doesn't work two hours per day like Joe did and then call a lid.

Apparently AP is too stupid to realize that the majority of our troops are the MAGAT voters that he hates so much.

That would be just one of a whole multi-volume encyclopedic list of things DUmp'Rats generally and the Ramp'Rat AviationPro specifically are too stupid to realize.

The definition of 'woman' just being the next one that comes readily to mind...

2. I don't think we've ever been in a conflict where we don't even know how many service members are wounded

In the real world, the Pentagon has reported that 18 service members have been killed, and 757 have been wounded, https://militaryspend.org/iran-war-casualties . What a DUmmie "knows" and believes may be a different matter, of course.

ASYLUM SHAME Disturbing guide on how ‘not to rape women’ in UK given to asylum seekers by Home Office after string of attacks

If you have to tell people things like this, you don't want them in your country.

I've been thinking the same thing.

Years ago, I saw an image on the internet, with the text "Why don't we just teach men not to rape?" (or words to that effect), as opposed to telling women to watch their surroundings, be aware, and so on.

Rapists probably aren't the sort of people who cares what society thinks of them.

Hypocrites!

The Big Guy isn't President anymore, and there are better nicknames for him.

The Victimhood Shield

https://pjmedia.com/jamie-wilson/2026/08/21/the-victimhood-shield-n4956378

Quote
Since that day in the ’90s, the shield of victimhood has stopped being merely personal. It has become public moral currency. Claim membership in a targeted group — black, female, gay, transsexual, immigrant, illegal alien, Muslim, and so on — and you can claim high status. Intersectionality even supplies a kind of mathematics, a ranking system among the victim classes. The whole arrangement has been institutionalized in DEI, and it delivers concrete rewards: preferences in jobs, scholarships, awards, publication, and more.
...
When you take on a victim identity, it feels empowering at first. You are naming a painful thing, or something society insists should be painful. It brings moral clarity, community, and a simple explanation for the frustration or hurt you feel day to day. “They treated me this way because I’m a black woman.” It can even feel like strength — finally speaking the injury instead of carrying it in silence.

Over time, the same identity turns hollow. You are seen, yes, but only as the victim you have declared yourself to be. I was seen as a woman who had been profoundly harmed as a child — not as a complex thinker, a science-fiction reader, a storytelling fanatic, a Christian, a girl in love with a beautiful world. Just a victim.

That shield becomes an anchor. It burdens you. You begin to identify with the shield more than with the person underneath it. The weight slowly drains your energy and your strength. It stunts emotional development and personal growth. It keeps you from the full capacity that should have been yours.

We have all seen the results. Girls who ruin their beauty with tattoos, strange hair, piercings, and body modifications, trying to look like the figure in the shield. People of color who darken their own souls by blaming every failure on white people. And the politicians who encourage it all, turning living people into social widgets instead of complete human beings with deep inner lives.
...
The victim shield is the same mechanism that has damaged certain minority communities for decades. Tell people repeatedly that they are permanent victims, that the system is rigged against them in every particular, and that only an external force — government, party, ideology, some designated savior — can lift them, and many will eventually believe it. Agency atrophies. Excellence starts to look like collaboration with the enemy. The result is not the justice promised by activists and politicians. It is a population trained to wait for rescue rather than build its own strength and resilience. Thomas Sowell predicted this outcome repeatedly and documented the devastation it causes.

"Victim Shields" are a human, not a Lib-Prog, phenomenon.
