Gen. Patton on profanity: “When I want my men to remember something important, to really make it stick, I give it to them double dirty. It may not sound nice to some bunch of little old ladies at an afternoon tea party, but it helps my soldiers to remember.
You can’t run an army without profanity; and it has to be eloquent profanity. An army without profanity couldn’t fight its way out of a piss-soaked paper bag.”

Gen. Patton was a little bit whacked. Another general, a certain General George Washington sought to squelch all profanity among the troops, and that general did pretty well too.

Gen. Washington was in an era where they didn’t need to hold POWs. The British who surrendered could be just sent back to England on their word of honor that they would not return to America to fight again. Different for sure.

Washington had some choice words for General Charles Lee. Just not confirmed what those words were.

Another thing. Since I’ve been away for a while, did anyone ever figure out what happened to Robbie?

I known that CNN is a cable network and not held to the FCC profanity guidelines as ABC, NBC etc are…but does the CNN anchor, this time Jessica Dean, have to read Trump’s post word for word and actually say the f word on air. She actually said it twice. People can read it. It was up on the screen in its original form then later changed to f******. Another reporter being interview by Dean even refused to say the word. But Dean couldn’t contain herself and said it again.

He must be dead. The day the sham jury in NYC found Trump “guilty” we waited all day for Robbie to show up and take a victory lap but he never did. The only thing that could have stopped him is death.

That was always my theory, DW, based on the timing of his sudden disappearance.

Lisab also disappeared. I don’t miss her.

Forgot about Lisa. That disappearance was just as sudden.

I cringe when Trump goes into his some of his scathing diatribes, especially when laced with F****. However, when faced with available options – him or Dems – there is no other choice but Trump. I do think, though, he would strengthen his threats if they were modified to sound firm, decisive and less like he was throwing a frustrated temper tantrum.

I tried to find anything about an obituary for a pilot in the Louisville area named Robert around the the time Amoral Scumbag disappeared, nothing came up.
Strangely enough, he was one of the ones who seemed most interested that HHR continue and posted regularly at the beginning.
If he died, it was very sudden, and as a pilot he probably could not have been much past 60 at most. He never mentioned anything about a family in all the years he was here. He was definitely Catholic and a pilot and lived in the Louisville area The only company with a really large hub in Louisville is UPS, so maybe he flew for them. But American, American Eagle, Southwest and other commuter airlines fly out of there.
Did anyone know if he had a FB page?

Bitter, MD unfriended you? I thought at one time you guys were on pretty good in state terms. Something really crazy must have happened to that guy. You don’t see that kind of a sudden extreme ideological shift in a person. That’s just extremely rare.

Looks like Iran, according to Reuters, has rejected any deal with Trump that doesn’t include the following terms:
Well, good luck with all that fellows. I guess they are operating on the false assumption that brain dead Biden is still in the WH.

Phil – He lost it when I asked when he surrendered all of his conservative beliefs to support Biden and then Harris.

You asked him the absolute logical question. He probably didn’t have a real pleasant 2024 election night.
