Yossarian's Roost Resuscitated

This is an X post. I haven't researched it for truth.

The Mexican president asks how cartels in Mexico possess weapons from the US military:

"How is it that there are weapons in Mexico that are for the exclusive use of the US military?

Who sold them?"

That is what I just said.

I had to say it that way so you see we are not apart on this. We just employ different approaches.

You seem to have misinterpreted the focus on tax, (which is always too much), and benefits the rich.

Closing down tax havens and introducing progressive taxation, income and capital gains, ensures the rich pay their fair share.

I didn't write that. I reposted something for consideration. Because the whole thing is a total **** show, top to bottom.

If you repost something, unless you make it very clear you disagree, it's normally assumed you agree with the sentiment.

The top of the repost is my primary interest in the post. I agree with every word of that part. The list of taxes that follows was left in because I feel malevolence for the ones taxing us for reasons I've already stated.

I don't understand why, when Musk went to these places, they didn't every single one say, "Not without a court order" instead of caving like that.

🚨BREAKING: Hamas has said it will no longer release any more Israelis after 2 things:
1. Israel keeps killing Palestinians in Gaza and breaking the ceasefire agreement.
2. Donald Trump has said he will force all Palestinians out of Gaza.
Until that stops, nobody else will be released.
This was the right thing to do.

🚨🚨 BREAKING: Trump has now said that if “all hostages” are not released by Saturday at 12pm (which is not the agreement - which is that they will be released over the next few months) that “all hell will break loose” and that he’s canceling the ceasefire.
1. It’s wild that Trump is treating the ceasefire like it’s his. Like he speaks in first person for Israel.
2. Hamas will never agree to this. And they shouldn’t.
3. A very detailed ceasefire agreement is already in place. Hamas has simply asked that it be followed.

We are going to have Gaza, we don't have to buy it. There is nothing to buy. It's a war-torn area, we are going to take it'

no need to credit this mad statement. Ve know whom it is.

When you can get away with anything!
Israel is destroying civilian infrastructure including water pipes, sewage canals, electricity and phone cables in the occupied West Bank with the ultimate goal of making the West Bank unlivable for the native inhabitants

Biden fed the genocide all the way. For public consumption he made occasional rebukes to Netanyahu, but always gave him what he wanted. If he stopped a shipment of bombs or money it was temporary and resumed. Trump has stepped in with his heavy hand. I don't know for sure how far it will go after the ultimatum of Saturday to the Palestinians. It looks as though thousands more Palestinians will be killed if the ultimatum is held to.

If Trump doesn't get impeached and removed from office we will have to conclude that our representatives approve the pillaging.

I don't know the full truth of this. Jordan Chariton's daily email makes the claim. I do know they cook the numbers, just don't know to what extent

BREAKING: Unemployment REALLY at Great Depression Levels, You've Been LIED TO For Years

Musk's four year old kid has some interesting things to say. I've known for many years that a kid will blurt everything he/she hears you say, usually at the most embarrassing times. I just saw the story on the Drudge Report.

I have liked Michael Moore for a long time. But over the past year or two he has lost his sting. He raves to build us up but comes up short. He had a "very good feeling" about the election, predicting a blowout win for Ds. This morning he wrote a lot of words about how we are going to stop Trump. But where he says how he stops short. It's a pep talk with no resolution at the end. I mostly skip his posts these days.

I saw there was a paper in Israel suggesting a preemptive strike on Egypt's Aswan Dam. Resultant flooding likely would kill at least two or three million and as much as 20 million. Here's one headline:

Egypt furious over Israeli report speculating attack on High Dam

Hopefully it remains just talk.
