“Destroyed” = used.

If you have a pension worth $1 mil, that trickles in over time, you sell it for $600,000 lump sum and just get pension payments deposited into an account of their choosing. You got some immediate cash. They get more money over time.

I hope Israel is a worth it.

It isn’t. Genocide killed any chances there. They became what they feared most.

Can you sell your pension to JG Wentworth types?

“Weighs”. A curious term.

The WSJ sanewashing this administration because the Pentagon follows the commander in chief and we know Trump neither weighs, ponders or considers shit.

He makes up random bullshit on the fly and the Pentagon blindly obeys. If they are lucky, they get to react as to how to minimize the inevitable fallout of supremely stupid decisions in the hopes they can survive long enough to make it to to retirement.

The smarter Pentagon officials are probably googling “US military pension lump sum payouts” along with “Renouncing US citizenship” and “Warm, cheap places to retire to.”

It happened on earth?

Trump, doing more to fight climate change than anyone ever thought possible.

Regrets there is blowback. When you are constantly on the wrong side of history, maybe the hollow apologies aren’t enough and institutional change is required.

Few are pleased with the state of policing. Corruption, egregious breeches of ostensible policing standards leave few “proud” of our police. This is what they will admit., but consider the source, and trustworthiness.

It’s not like the cops had a good reputation.

ACAB. My ability to actually list the long line of egregious abuses pales compared to the monumentality of the task. It doesn’t have to be this way.

“West”. Don’t lump us in with this goon shit.

We haven’t had international law for some time now. Russia, China, US, Israel and a few others don’t even have domestic law.

Some see today’s headlines as global chaos. I see this as the calm before the storm.
