1. "Madness. Madness".*

The last two lines of the great movie The Bridge Over the River Kwai. That line has stayed with me from the time I first saw the movie as a kid.

8. Except that we know how WWII ended - the good guys won!

That's no longer a given in 2026 ... the good guys don't seem to be winning much these days.

13. We are not the "goodguys" anymore. At least the leaderships certainly aren't nowadays. We are hated the world over.

Rightfully so. Tariffs, bombing girl's schools, in effect shutting down hospitals in Cuba and starving the population.

It's really sickening. I never thought I would be not be on "our" side.

2. Bingo.

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

9. This collection proves one thing

... Chump will post ANY opinion that his wealthy backers want him to post. It doesn't have to make sense, nor does it need to agree with anything else he has posted. It's the opinion that matters RIGHT NOW, because somebody benefits from it. Presumably ... it's somebody very wealthy.

There's no guarantee that tomorrow's tweet will be consistent with today's, or yesterday's. He can't remember what he tweeted yesterday anyway.

4. Did Pig Hogsbreath criticize St. Ronald?

"This neo-Reaganite attitude led us to fritter away our soldiers' lives..." Did he mean to criticize Reagan or does he not know that "neo" means "the new form of" as in "neo-fascist", like him.

11. There's no way this has only cost 212 billion.

More numbers pulled out of Trump's ass.
