    Nobody is going to drop the quote from Orwell’s 1984? (sigh) I guess it’s true, people HAVE stopped reading. 😞

    “‘War is Peace’, ‘Freedom is Slavery’ and ‘Ignorance is Strength’”

      Well, the post was 6 minutes old when you commented it, and presumably anyone who came in during that time was reading the article before posting (right? Everyone does that, right?)…

        I mean in the actual article, you would have thought one of the professionals would have dropped it. 😉

    “Peace is so destructive for everyone. Even countries that aren’t involved. I mean, it’s so destructive for everyone when you have wars,” he told reporters aboard Air Force One.

        I assume he intended to say “War” as the first word instead of peace.

        He was thinking about his “Board of peace” and the wrong word slipped out.

        If you hang out with elderly folks that are slipping, you get used to figuring out the word they actually meant and how the wrong word got there.

    Fannie Mae has a commercial out using AI Trump voice because he couldn’t record it or something? Very bizarre and Orwellian. Could you imagine the meltdown the MAGA snowflakes would have if Biden had a commercial out like that?

    On the positive side, perhaps he’ll get in a muddle and deliver peace with Iceland instead of war with Greenland.
