All roads lead to Putin
Trump_is_Mentally_fit replied to BillStime's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
And Putin makes Dumb Donald wait on him. Wow https://www.the-sun.com/news/13808665/putin-trump-phone-call/ THIS is the moment a smug-faced Vladimir Putin kept Trump waiting for today's phone call - and didn't leave until one hour after the chat was set to begin. The despot even laughed off a warning that he was getting late for his phone call with the US president. -
But then along came the racist MAGA movement (a lot like a big bowel movement) The removal of the article about Hayes is particularly notable because of the legendary status of the Iwo Jima flag-raising photograph, which the Pentagon has labeled an “iconic image.” The photograph, which was taken on Feb. 23, 1945, by Joe Rosenthal of the Associated Press, won a Pulitzer Prize and was the model for a statue that serves as the centerpiece of the Marine Corps War Memorial in Arlington, Virginia. The Pentagon quickly capitalized on the image’s popularity, sending Hayes and other Marines who appeared in it on a national tour to sell war bonds. Hayes, who was depicted in three major movies and was the subject of a song recorded by Johnny Cash, died at age 32 in 1955 after struggling with alcoholism. During a 1993 speech at the Marine Corps War Memorial, Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Carl E. Mundy Jr. paid tribute to Hayes and noted his Native American heritage, according to a report from the time. Mundy said that were Hayes still alive, Mundy would have told him that the Marine Corps was made up of people from “the broad, strong ethnic fabric that is our nation,” and pledged that in the future “that fabric will broaden and strengthen in every category to make our corps even stronger.”

https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2025/03/17/pentagon-dei-native-american-iwo-jima/ Until recently, a page on the Defense Department’s website celebrated Pfc. Ira Hayes, a Pima Indian who was one of the six Marines photographed hoisting a U.S. flag on Iwo Jima in 1945, as an emblem of the “contributions and sacrifices Native Americans have made to the United States, not just in the military, but in all walks of life.” But the page, along with many others about Native American and other minority service members, has now been erased amid the Trump administration’s wide-ranging crackdown on what it says are “diversity, equity and inclusion” efforts in the federal government, a review by The Washington Post found. Multiple articles about the Navajo code talkers, who were critical to America’s victory at Iwo Jima and the wider Pacific theater of the Second World War, were also removed, along with a profile of a Tonawanda Seneca officer who drafted the terms of the Confederacy’s surrender at Appomattox toward the end of the Civil War. The purge, which also targeted multiple webpages about women and LGBTQ+ service members, highlights how aggressively military leaders are pursuing President Donald Trump’s anti-DEI mandate. Their actions mean that some of the most authoritative sources of public information about the achievements of minority service members decades before government DEI programs existed have disappeared. Some of the articles, including the piece about Hayes, remain online on websites or social media accounts for the individual branches of the military.

How many in this corrupt administration will end up in jail? I'm guessing lots, including the Orange bozo tanking the economy
