if the Dems want to win back the WH in ‘28…Sen. Kelly is the guy. no more mucking around w/trying to get the first…whatever. likely only one more chance to get things back on track…failing isn’t an option…the nation won’t survive.

certainly hope he does pay a price…a BIG price…when the next Dem., POTUS takes office. that only happens if we get a USAG the polar opposite of Merrick Garland.

why are the “Middle Powers” + China/India…waiting for Trump to resolve a global economic crisis of his making? come together, negotiate a peace deal w/Iran, open the Straights of Hormuz… just bypass Trump. the U.S. isn’t going to challenge a Indian flagged tanker escorted by an Indian destroyer.

@exSandman.bsky.social @exsandman.bsky.social · 12/04/2026
suppose Iran allows India, China or France to escort their flagged tankers/cargo ships thru the Straights of Hormuz w/warships. does the U.S. Navy fire on the Indian, Chinese or French ships. someone please explain how Trump’s blockade then works. here’s how i think it works…TACO!

give me a break! Rep. Mike Turner (R), blatantly lied 2x about Obama’s containment of Iran’s nuclear program. Stephanopoulos never challenged him! nor did Stephanopoulos extract a clear answer as to how the Straights of Hormuz would be opened. journalistic disaster…disservice to the public.

standard HE 155mm artillery rnd has an effective range of 22km. a rocket assisted or precision guided artillery rnd…70km. shortest distance of Straights of Hormuz shipping lanes from coast of Iran? 5-6.5km. Iran doesn’t need to mine the shipping lanes. just fire a few artillery rnds…move & hide.

13 U.S. military personnel died during the evacuation of Afghanistan as President Biden ended a 20yr war effort. The right went mad. Now 13 military personnel have died since Trump started a totally discretionary war w/Iran. Now…where is the outrage from the right?

could Denmark sign a mutual defense agreement w/Canada for Greenland? send in highly trained special forces teams to train Greenland civilian militias in sabotage, urban combat & sniper training? no fun being an occupier in an urban environment w/angry pop., armed w/suppressed .22cal firearms.

@exSandman.bsky.social @exsandman.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
hope you are correct. as a precaution, Greenland should establish hundreds of civilian militias trained in sabotage, sniper teams armed suppressed firearms, plans & preparation for mining harbors and training a vast cadres of operators supplied w/thousands of weaponised drones.

might be time for some enterprising mechanical engineering students to come up w/launchers (either pneumatic or elastic powered), that could launch eggs 100 to 200 yrds. ICE/BorderPatrol officers w/egg (literally), on their faces would be extremely satisfying.

demanding & getting an equity stake in Intel, a cut of Nvidia & AMD’s profits, coercing oil companies to pony up B$’s for a very sketchy investment in an unstable country, demanding CC companies limit interest rates…is not conservative capitalistic policy…it’s text book authoritarian socialism.

Canada’s population? ~41.29M. U.S. recipients of SNAP food assistance? ~41.7M. There are more people in America (the strongest economy on earth), unable to independently provide enough food for themselves or their families…than live in Canada! Let that sink in. Embarrassing? No, criminal.

Legal query. What if the FCC pulls a media broadcaster’s license, yet that broadcaster continued to broadcast? Would the FBI or military raid broadcast studios…seize towers/satellite uplink equipment? It’s happened in Russia & S. America. If it did happen, would it tip the U.S. into Civil War?

clearly, agreement on common sense U.S. gun control is impossible. the obvious remedy is amending the Constitution to repeal the 2nd Amendment. to that end, a movement to amend the Constitution should immediately begin. sadly, as a lifelong gun owner and hunter, i see no other solution.

lack of empathy is a key characteristic of narcissistic personality disorder. empathy, or the ability to share and understand the feelings of others is the core component of healthy relationships and social functioning. it’s obvious that neither Trump or Musk have an empathetic bone in their bodies.

Harvard might begin the process of opening a Canadian extension campus? Initially for foreign students & possibly the Kennedy School of Government. Eastern Canadian metropolitan areas are not far from Cambridge. What a delicious way for PM Carney (Harvard grad), to thwart TACO POTUS!

perhaps Harvard should consider the option of opening an extension campus for it’s foreign students (also Kennedy School of Gov.), in 🇨🇦? only 1.5 hr flight from say Montreal to Boston. easy commute for faculty. would think 🇨🇦 would welcome the economic boost. isn’t the PM Carey an Harvard alumni?

@exSandman.bsky.social @exsandman.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
perhaps a better Harvard play would be a foreign student extension campus in 🇨🇦. while at it, move the Kennedy School of Gov’t north too. isn’t the 🇨🇦 PM a Harvard grad? w/Harvard’s endowment & some financial aid from the 🇨🇦 Gov., very possible. close enough for faculty to commute. what a coup for 🇨🇦!

perhaps time for Harvard to open an extension campus in eastern Canada for nonU.S. students. i’m betting Canada might welcome the economic opportunities that MAGA fascists seem to spurn. close enough to Massachusetts for faculty to rotate. put that endowment to good use. isn’t PM Carey an alumni?

remember *The Troubles* of N. Ireland? could very well look a lot like that. targeted assassinations, kidnappings & bombings. loss of civil liberties & martial law. doubt it lasts 30yrs. likely economy collapses quickly followed by the union itself. if he isn’t stopped soon…it’s game over.

thought Trump’s 2016 win was a fluke. America was too easily conned. however, 2024 was deliberate. didn’t expect it or understand the why. then it hit me. corruption, brutality, chaos is what his supporters want. now i want it. the sooner the U.S. fails, the sooner we build back better. ⬇️
