Backwatering on Ukraine

The Orange Useful Idiot is apparently trying to walk back his Ukraine Surrender Plan.

U.S. senators critical of President Donald Trump’s approach to ending the Russia-Ukraine war said Saturday they spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio who told them that the peace plan Trump is pushing Kyiv to accept is a “wish list” of the Russians and not the actual U.S. plan.

How is that any better that Cadet Bone Spurs and Chief Lacky Witkoff were pushing Ukraine to agree to surrender on Russia's terms?

I have a two point plan:

1.  All Russian forces withdraw to the 1991 border, and
2.  The International Criminal Court to investigate alleged war crimes.

I also think it's a good idea for all Russian military forces to withdraw to a 50km distance from the border, both in Russia and Belarus.

But once again, we have seen Trump's willingness to do Putin's bidding if he thought that he could get away with it. The man is a venal traitor to his core and has to be watched like the sleazy snake that he is.

True, Dat

If there were a show called the Annual Geopolitical Awards they would give The Neville Chamberlain Award for Craven Surrender Monkey to Donald John Trump with a shout-out to Viktor Orban and Steve Witkoff.

The Nazi Coast Guard - Updated

Swastikas and nooses are no longer hate symbols for the Coasties.

If you're Jewish or non-white, the sea-going Gestapo Coast Guard is not for you.

No doubt that the Coast Guard will adopt pointed white hoods as part of their summer white uniform, per upcoming guidance of the DHS Secretary, Kristi the Puppy-Killer.

ETA: After intense blowback, the Coasties have ordered All Engines Back Full.

If Seditious Behavior Was Punishable by Death....

...that fat orange bastard would have been hung in 2021.

ICE Meal Team Six, Beer Gut Squad, In Charlotte

Let's be serious for a few. There is not a single thing on this overweight, piss-poor excuse for a cop that legitimately identifies him as a cop. He's wearing ill-fitting camo and a "police" patch that anyone can buy from Amazon or a surplus store. He could be an ISIS terrorist, for all we know.

There is nothing about his "look" that couldn't be copied by home invaders.

These clowns are going to end up catching bullets from law-abiding citizens who would have a reasonable fear that they are being attacked by crimial thugs. And, as for what they'll testify in court afterwards, the track record of CBP and ICE agents is that they are blatant perjurers.

Itch, Scratched

A newish S&W Model 22 in .45 ACP:

It seems to shoot OK with a euro-hold. I wanted a M1917, but this is more practical with a 4" barrel. The chambers headspace the cartridges, but you need to poke the empties out with a stick or a gimme ballpoint pen if they're not on moon-clips. Or you can find auto-rim cartridges, which are not cheap if you don't reload.

I also took a scoped Savage Mk.II to the range. It has been years since I shot a rifle, let alone a scoped rifle. Good reminder on the importance of breath control.

More Epstein

Former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers will immediately leave his role as an instructor at Harvard while the University investigates his ties to child sex trafficker Jeffrey E. Epstein.

It wasn't just a few emails. They were in long-term contact, with Summers asking Epstein for advice about Summers hitting on a much younger whoman who he was mentoring.

Rich white guys always think they're invulnerable. Until they aren't.
