No, just reality unless you're talking about a Trumpian alternative facts reality.

'BETRAYAL'
Fury as 5,000 National Guard heroes ‘forced to sleep in a GARAGE’ after protecting Capitol for Biden’s Inauguration

They should stay at Trumps Washington hotel but that would violate the Constitution. If they are in a garage, it is their commanding officer to blame. Of course, anyone who wholly believes a lead sensationalizing Title doesn't analyze the whole story.

IMO ~They should be quartered at nearby air bases with shifts and transported in luxury helicopters, fed great food and afforded every luxury the National Guard could give them. I remember the days of the Vietnam war when we were stationed as reserve units and committed to guard the soil we were born on.

Compared to ugly Trumpism, your inner comfort feeling is much more secure.
Joe forecasted things will be worse in the upcoming year and we know he is honest because he wears his "heart on his sleeve".

At least she could be the spokes person all four years instead of the revolving office Trump owned. Of course, he preferred pretty blond girls after Sean Spicer. Notice how Psaki does not have to glamourize herself when she straight talks the press.

True: First, I blame him for his agenda and I also include the heartless Republicans that support him to this day like Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene (their stench makes real politicians puke)

"Trumpism" is just a word to me. I happened to appreciate the policies he instated - despite heavy challenges/opposition on many levels. I'm not so certain Joe has that same type of grasp. But, then again, he has Kamala to cover his backside.

I don’t think it’s Joe who’s missing the “grasp” part. And it’s the folks like you who don’t grasp the reality who are the ones that have sent this country down the shitter. Just like Trump, every time you get called out and/or backed into a corner you double down with a glaringly stupid post. If you want to know who America’s enemies are, take a good look in the mirror. And pay attention to the “heavy challenges/opposition Biden is already facing (and will continue to face) as he tries to implement policies and changes that the majority of this country’s voters (the real voters, not the phantom voters Republicans see hiding under every bed) want to see. Welcome to the presidency in an era when the Republican Party is terminal but it’s membership still hasn’t gotten message.

And somehow, I just can’t see how a successful (former) US Senator will be a less effective Vice President than a 1 term ex-governor who was well on the path to irrelevancy until plucked by Trump to be an inoffensive do nothing place holder. I just hope I live long enough to watch your melt down when she eventually becomes president.......

I remember Vietnam when we were getting killed all while eating shit three times a day. I almost choked to death on an old piece of water buffalo they fed us at a steak fry. Other than that we got powdered scrambled eggs, powered milk, Krusteaz pancakes with no butter and kayro syrup for breakfast. I've locked out the horrific memory of what we had to eat at lunch and dinner. We would go to the PX and buy C rations which were relatively delicious. I once got stationed with a small outfit on a mountain top with no mess hall. We had to drive down the mountain to a naval base where we ate. My God almighty the Navy eats better than excellent, truly astounding.

Navy has powdered eggs and milk as well Lanny...but they do have better food than most branches of the military...still get you fair share of shit on a shingle....the Blue Ridge had a bakery on board which was the envy of most marines we carted to the shore

I think, between you using "cogent" and me using "cogent" correctly in the last week, including me explaining what it meant, we should test @THE HCP to see if he can define it without looking the word up.

Good food was about the only the reward for having to put up with all the Mickey Mouse bullshit that comes with being on a flagship..... Blue Ridge mid-rats while on WESTPAC was the best chow of the entire day. Mid-rats while stateside blew chunks......but yes, in general we ate very well regardless of where we were. It’s just that overseas the ship got reimbursed for every sailor whether they went through the chow line or not, so good food was plentiful. Stateside, they only got reimbursed for whoever actually went through the chow line. With most guys eating from the pier side roach coaches, pickings were usually pretty slim on board ship. I did eat on an overseas Air Force base once and it was at least as good as what we got on the Blue Ridge......and you are 100% correct. We had to pry the jarheads out of the mess hall when it came time for them to debark.......

I spent very little time on the Blue Ridge stateside...just a couple of weeks after getting back I transfered the the USS Hull...a tin can...by that time we all had apartments in San Diego and great mexican food everywhere......I flew to meet the Blue Ridge in Vietnam (Tonkin Gulf)from the Philipines. I was supposed to go back for a second tour on the Blue Ridge but I didn't want to go back or we'd have served together.

Well, Scott, it explains why in the article:

Mexico's president said Saturday that Biden told him the U.S. would send $4 billion to help development in Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala — nations whose hardships have spawned tides of migration through Mexico toward the United States.

López Obrador, who spoke Friday with Biden by phone, said the two discussed immigration and the need to address the root causes of why people migrate.

Mexico has stopped recent attempts by caravans of Central American migrants to cross Mexico.​
 
I wonder what it's like to be that fucking idiotic.

Google's your friend. You could do a search on Trump accomplishments, but, again, I'm fairly certain it wouldn't meet with your relative sensibilities. So be it.

I just did this and discovered he's accomplished the destruction of his brand and the financial support of his lines of credit, probably his marriage and the trust of the nation he tried to dictate by coup....I believe now he's also accomplished the pardoning of some really bad people and accomplished the exposure of several white supremacist organizations and cults that are now under investigation...yup....Google is my friend. Google the lobby to kick Trump out of Mar Lago and the longtime members canceling their 200k per year memberships...the Trump logos being taken down in New York City...yeah...Trump is all over google....he's made a lot of people regret their choices....some even more than once...and after all.....I LIKE PRESIDENTS THAT DON'T GET IMPEACHED!
