In the days of action cartoons, the hero always got caught up by the evil villains in such a way that there was no escape this time. But he always escaped. How, that was the question. We never saw that coming, the how. That he would escape, that was assured. How, that we never knew. Often the writers had to cheat physics or go back a little further to show the great escape. Judge Juan Merchan should throw the book at felon Trump, but he has promised no punishment, just ignominy, a little humiliation, a legacy of disgrace, sexual abuse, felonies all over the place, and Trump an unindicted co-conspirator in what his associates were up to on his behalf.

Jimmy "Peanut Farmer" Carter just couldn't bear to see Trump become president again when he himself only got one term and lost the White House to fiendish but beloved Republican Pres. Ronnie "The Great Communicator" Reagan. After decades of good deeds for Habitat for Humanity and being called "The Antichrist" for trying to solve the very profitable "problems" in the geopolitical Middle East. These troubles, most of it with Bibi Netanyahu at the helm, have been going on for most of our lives thanks to the CIA grooming Bibi and surreptitiously supporting him. He was in hospice for a long time at the end, after the passing of wonderful wife Rosalind Carter.
Henry Kissinger, the toweringly influential former United States National "Security" Adviser and Secretary of State for Dick Nixon and Gerry Ford, who earned a reputation as a sagacious tactician and diplomat [think The Art of War or better yet The Prince] but drew international condemnation and accusations of war crimes for his key role in expanding the American presence in Vietnam and the illegal secret U.S. bombings of Buddhist Cambodia and Laos, died today.

Killing of hundreds of thousands of innocents, he was awarded Nobel Peace Prize for finally relenting in Vietnam
I modeled myself after Henry.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger [Hillary Clinton's mentor] died at his home in Connecticut today (Wednesday, 11/29/23) at age 100, according to his website. [Fmr. Pres. Jimmy Carter is somehow still hanging on at 99.]
The big picture: Kissinger was the top U.S. diplomat for two presidents and was a central figure in U.S. foreign policy in the latter half of the 20th century [possibly responsible for more war crimes than George Bush but fewer than fellow AshkenaziBen Netanyahu].
Well, even if China doesn't, we can use it as a pretext to attack and not repay our debt to them.
Bomb them to hell, just like Henry said!
Zoom in: Kissinger shared a Nobel Peace Prize with Asian communist and head of North Vietnam Le Duc Tho[who had the decency to decline it], for the negotiations that ended the U.S. War on Vietnam [which is more farcical than handing Obama the same prize before he did anything and then he went on to start and fund more wars, more government killings, more profiteering than most U.S. presidents, and certainly more than Bush-Cheney were able to get away with].
You think we lived wrongly? - Shut up, Hillary.
Kissinger was the only American to serve simultaneously as secretary of state and national security adviser, per the Washington Post.

CBS News: Biden pardons two Thanksgiving turkeys, Liberty and Bell
Even turkeys aren't safe from Molester-in-Chief.
U.S. Pres. Biden pardoned two lucky turkeys today to mark the 76th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey Ceremony, one of the time-honored, albeit quirky, White House traditions.
"I [give two gravy boats about the rest of them but] hereby pardon Liberty and Bell! Alright," the president said to applause.
"Congratulations, birds! Congratulations."
Leave your door unlocked, I'll see you tonight.
[The president was happy to keep two alive, presumably to make out with on the lawn before their mothers returned for them, while doing nothing about the babies in Gaza, other than suggesting to Netanyahu that maybe he consider pausing a little, just a tiny bit for some humanitarian aid to be snuck in or backing the genocide completely and covering for Israel in spite of international condemnation and outrage, and even getting into the fight, risking American lives by sending ships and weapons into the region to fight Iran and anyone the CIA is willing to call a "proxy."]
Biden enjoys incestuous grooming-kiss with grandkid, Finnegan Biden, who needs inheritance.
.
Don't worry, we have spares (body doubles).
Liberty and Bell hail from Willmar, Minnesota and have been staying in a room at the luxurious Willard InterContinental Hotel near the White House, as is custom.
"These birds have a new appreciation of the word, 'let freedom ring,'" Mr. Biden said, reading a line written for him poorly. He's only aging and getting more enfeebled. This year's turkey pardon ceremony happens to fall on Mr. Biden's 81st birthday [and Chinese dictator Xi's wife, as Joe clumsily reminded him at APEC].
Grandpa's sexy and loves me.
The president doesn't have any other plans on his public schedule [because it's time for another golf vacation or maybe a visit to the plastic surgeon for some touch ups].
"I just want you to know it's difficult turning 60," the president attempted to joke, adding that he wasn't present for the first turkey pardoning event.
On a more somber note, the president switched gears to remember deceased former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 96 [while former Pres. Jimmy Carter keeps kicking at 99 in hospice care or assisted living].
I prefer my sexy grandkids to Jill, that bookworm and dud.
One indicted for war crimes yet not the other
"This week, we'll gather with the people we love and the traditions that each of us have built up in our own families," Mr. Biden said. "We'll also think about the loved ones we've lost, including just yesterday when we lost former first lady Rosalynn Carter, who walked her own path, inspiring a nation and the world along the way. And let's remind ourselves that we're blessed to live in the greatest nation on this face of the earth."
I'm a young 81 and doing a bang-up job. Watch how big the BANG I make is going to be.
The origin of the presidential turkey pardon ceremony is a bit murky. Pres. Harry Truman was the first president to hold a photo-op at the White House with a turkey he received from the National Turkey Federation and the Poultry and Egg National Board.
The White House says Truman began the tradition, but that's a claim the Truman Library and Museum has disputed.
It's also possible the ritual began with Pres. Abraham Lincoln after his son urged his father to spare the bird they had planned to slaughter and devour for Christmas.
The take home message? Protect your birds.
This year's turkeys, which hatched in July, were sent to the White House from the Jennie-O Turkey Store.
.
Jennie-O says the turkeys have been "receiving the five-star treatment befitting turkeys of their stature."
Liberty and Bell will retire to a University of Minnesota farm in the Twin Cities.
Hey, Kids, want to touch my Peeping Tom?
[Or the poultry may be given to Hamas who will torture them by turning them over to the IDF who will slaughter them and smear their blood on doors before bombing them in mimicry or mockery of American Christian holy day celebrations, presumably. Too dark? Hah, soldiers on a killing spree would never do anything like that]. More + VIDEO
International Women's Day with right-wing Hollywood Vince Vaughn, and U.S. Pres. Joey Biden admits he ordered -- and the U.S. along with Norway carried out -- the sabotage and environmental disaster of blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline, releasing a tremendous amount of the powerful greenhouse gas methane. World-renowned journalist and whistleblower Seymour Hersh, formerly of The New York Times, who reported on the My Lai American massacre of innocent Vietnamese civilians during its imperial adventure in Indochina/Southeast Asia (where it also was illegally bombing innocent Buddhist countries like Laos and Cambodia, killing countless innocent non-combatants) and American terrorism and warmongering at Abu Ghraib, where we tortured innocent Muslims to provoke a reaction by Middle East countries to justify our further involvement.
We have company in space and in the universe, lots of it. That is to say, humans are not alone.
"I am convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one." -- US President Jimmy Carter
"The phenomenon of UFOs does exist, and it must be treated seriously." -- Mikhail Gorbachev
"I can assure you the flying saucers, given that they exist, are not constructed by any power on earth." US President Harry S. Truman
"Statistically it's a certainty there are hugely advanced civilizations, intelligences, and life forms out there. I believe they're so advanced they're even doing interstellar travel. I believe it's possible they may actually be on earth now." -- Astronaut Storey Musgrove
"The evidence points to the fact that Roswell was a real incident and that indeed an alien craft did crash and that material was recovered from that crash site, says Mitchell, who became the sixth man on the moon in the Apollo 14 mission. Mitchell doesn't say he's seen a UFO. But he says he's met with high-ranking military officers who admitted involvement with alien technology and hardware. Cooper told a U.N. committee recently; every day in the U.S.A., our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us. Cooper speculates that public skepticism toward UFOs will shift dramatically very soon." -- Astronaut Gordon Cooper
"I have been over the years very skeptical like many others. But in the last ten years or so, I have known the late Dr. Alan Hynek -- who I highly admire. I know and currently work with Dr. Jacques Vallee. I've come to realize that the evidence is building up to make this a valid and researchable question. Further, because my personal motivation has always been to understand our universe better, and my own theoretical work has convinced me that life is everywhere in the universe that has been permitted to evolve, I consider this a very timely question... By becoming more involved with this serious research field, I've seen the evidence mount towards the truth of these matters. I rely upon the testimony of contacts that I have had -- old timers -- who were involved in official positions in government and intelligence and military over the last 50 years. We cannot say that today's government is really covering it up - I think that most of them don't know what is going on anymore than the public." -- Astronaut Ed Mitchell
