Trump, breathing heavily, threatens Mexico: "Now we're gonna go and focus on the land. They [drugs] come through Mexico. Mexico has lost control of their country. The cartels run Mexico. The president is a very scared woman."

down there from his heart failure it’s become an “innie.” So when he has to get his catheter changed the poor nurse has to go diving in there with long gloves to find it.

No need to ask how I know such things. Just spare me a little thought for my next shift.

Mexico may be more than he bargained for--kind of like Iran. It could be useful if they take back Texas though.

Greenland was a non-starter (to be revisited later), move on to Iran. Capitulated to Iran, gotta decide if Mexico or Cuba is the next distraction.

On CNN you open it up to a HUGE pic of you know who (a daily occurrence). Is it their version of Big Brother? It's obviously on purpose, but why?

Wed Jun 17, 2026, 04:44 PM

It's long been my theory that there wasn't ever an actual war, but since the government controlled everything they could have easily just said there was one and the people would have accepted it. One day the Oceanians and Eastasians are at war against the Eurasians, and the next the Oceanians and Eurasians are allies in a war against the Eastasians? Naah dude, that ain't how it works...and you'd think that EVENTUALLY the Eastasians and Eurasians would get pissed off enough at the Oceanians for playing them so long and join together to fight the fucking Oceanians.

His "boss" keeps making threats and promises that Marco is expected to make happen, and he obviously will be in deep doo-doo trying to appease the beast. Wouldn't want to be in his Florsheims now or for the next 2+ years, if either one makes it that long.
