Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.

“Tuesday will be power plant day and bridge day, all wrapped up in one in Iran. There will be nothing like it. Open the fuckin strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in hell. Just watch. Praise be to Allah.” ~~ Donald J. Trump
Targeting civilian targets like power plants and bridges are war crimes under international law. Obviously, this man has never heard the poker maxim about not drawing to an inside straight. At last count his sycophant, Pete Hegseth, has fired 20 generals who were trying to put some brakes on this madness.
Still happy with your vote for this madman, may Allah save your soul.
For a little more nuance on the quote (verified from several sources), here is Krugman’s article: Living in Hell… read the transcript rather than watch the video.

“We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care.” ~~ Donald J. Trump
To put this quote in context, here is his remarks before he said that revealing gem.
“I said to Russell (Office of Management and Budget Director), ‘Don’t send any money for day care,’ because the United States can’t take care of day care. That has to be up to a state,” Trump said. “We can’t take care of day care. We’re a big country. We have 50 states. We have all these other people.”
Here is the CNN article I lifted the quote from: ‘We’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care’: Trump’s ill-timed rant
We are not taxing the ultra rich so El Pendejo can fight an unnecessary, unjustified, and IMHO, immoral war that we, the middle class are paying for, instead of funding day care? WTF! For my money that quote tells you all you need to know about Cadet Bone Spur and the Nazi Republican Party… no bread for babies, but billions to bomb innocent people. Again WTF!
May Allah save us all.

“Because we wanted surprise. Who knows better about surprise than Japan? Why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbor?” ~~ Donald J. Trump
Donald Trump was asked during a meeting with Japan’s Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, why the U.S. didn’t inform its allies before attacking Iran. This was his reply.
Ignoring the fact that he was not even alive December 7, 1941, and definitely was not stinking up the White House then, what a faux pas. No matter how much gold foil he defaces the White House with, he remains a classless buffoon, albeit a dangerous one.
May Odin save us all.

“The point is that we are all capable of believing things which we know to be untrue, and then, when we are finally proved wrong, impudently twisting the facts so as to show that we were right. Intellectually, it is possible to carry on this process for an indefinite time: the only check on it is that sooner or later a false belief bumps up against solid reality, usually on a battlefield.” ~~ George Orwell, from his essay In Front of Your Nose
I gleaned this quote from a short video put out by Paul Krugman: In Front of Trump’s Nose

“I only speak American.” ~~ Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Defense in the Trump malAdministration
Years ago when I lived in Mississippi, I rented an apartment in what was then a brand new complex. Overtime it filled up with families with children as the complex was very close to the elementary school and middle school for Brandon, MS. Leaving my apartment, one weekend afternoon there were a handful of kids playing on the landing outside my apartment. I said something to them in Spanish. The kids were at just the right pre-teen age to be sassy. One of them told me, “You need to speak American.”
One would think the Secretary of Defense of the United States of America would have more sense than a sassy 10 year old. One would think…
The occasion of his remarks was at a meeting of Latin American leaders. Marco Rubio, another light-weight, had spoke before him and delivered some of his remarks in Spanish. When it came Hegseth’s turn to speak, he delivered this gem.
I truly believed that El Pendejo deliberately chose the worst possible people for each of his Cabinet positions. May Baal save us all.

“Tomorrow I will seven eagles see, a great comet will appear, and voices will speak from whirlwinds foretelling monstrous and fearful things — This Universe never did make sense; I suspect that it was built on government contract.” ~~ Robert A. Heinlein

“You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up, loser lawyer.” ~~ Pam Bondi, Attorney General of the United States in a recent Congressional hearing.
I don’t really know, but I would imagine that Robert’s Rule of Order, used by many deliberative bodies, would frown upon such ad hominem attacks. Not to mention the sheer unprofessionalism it displays. But then again, I am not seeing any other members of this malAdministration showing any semblance of professionalism.
I gleaned this from Paul Krugman’s newsletter on SubStack. He went on:
“Yet what truly amazed me was her demand that Democrats stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein because the Dow was above 50,000. This plumbed new depths of moral bankruptcy, effectively saying: ‘How dare you complain about child rape when the stock market is up?’”
Oh the times we live in, when this passes for a government in a free democracy.
