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.

“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.

“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.
