The simple reality of this administration is there is no such thing as "truth." Expecting it, hoping for it or even praying (typed with a smirk) for it are and never will be in the cards David. They are incapable of it.

We do need give trump et al credit for at least this: They have created the single most opportunistic meme generating machine ever witnessed by humanity. Social media is abuzz and ablaze with stunning and staggering creations that put smiles on our faces daily, thanks to their insanity.

Loved the one yesterday where the door dash grandma (all of you on the right know that was a scam/a setup, right?) appeared in a flight suit as the downed pilot. Interestingly enough she appeared at hearing in Las Vegas in July 2025 on behalf of republicans hoping to garner support for the BBB.

One cannot make this shit up. These clowns have no shame. None, zero, zilch, nada.

Your first Reason for the absence of a ticker tape parade seems likely. The military would have essentially “doxed” these airmen if the publicity route was chosen. Then some idiot Trump hater stirred up by the kind of vitriol that often appears on this Substack might have had delusions of grandeur and tried to murder the airmen’s wives and children.

I’d be more concerned about Islamic radicals than anti-Trumpers.

Either way, shot dead is shot dead and having had your home address published makes it that much easier for these cowards regardless of their stripes.
