You're assuming that Trump has the slightest clue where the most famous photo in American history was taken. He does not.

In his mind it is this

Anyone care to make some guesses on what the WH twitter and DJT's social posts will say? Given the usual attack dogs on social media are already out there barking, I'm curious as to how it will go. (Feel free to chime in serious or otherwise)

It's really that simple. 

I tell folks that will listen to me about such things, Trump isn't the Antichrist he is just anti Christ.

It's next to the place they bury all the losers and suckers, not many people know but it was Robert E Lee's old house, a great General, some say General Lee, or Generally. What a beautiful piece of real estate. We should put up some more confederate statues there. HERITAGE! I think we could redevelop that and make it a destination resort for all the international guests to come visit me and pay tribute.  We'll use $TRUMP coins as the keys.  Put the coin in the slot and the door opens for you, just like magic.    MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

You think if you gave him a 1000 guesses that he'd ever say that was the flag raising at Iwo Jima? You think he'd be able to tell you what ocean that's in? He does not know any history about this war unless someone tells him something. Remember when he said Jim Mattis was the closest thing to Patton since Patton? You think he could even tell you what command Patton had in WWII? Someone tells him a name and he runs with it. 

This is an insanely stupid human being. I wish the person in charge of the National WWII Museum's social media had used the Animal House meme from this thread to respond to our president that has an IQ south of 20. That would have been fantastic.

Well, they also started the war and didn’t  actually liberate any of the places they fought so I’d say the honor of doing heavy-lifting was well-earned. 
 

Everyone’s favorite counter factual is “what if Hitler doesn’t do Barbarossa?”

Mine is “what if the USSR doesn’t help Germany carve up Poland or even makes it clear that attacking Poland is unacceptable along with the Western Allies.” They’d have had a whole-ass country between them and the Germans and Germany’s options in the West would have been far less-certain without Molotov-Ribbentrop. 
 

But honestly Hitler not invading the Soviet Union is far more realistic than Russia or any of its permutations not behaving like a predator and trying to make friends with the worst people in the world. I get why no one considers mine.

Actually it is backwards the real, real what if was Munich, Czechoslovakia had a mutual defense pact with the Soviets and France, It was the conservative government of Chamberlain that pressured the French to abandon them to Hitler and that freaked out Stalin, Poland's own contribution was participating in the invasion of Czechoslovakia and in not allowing the Red Army to pass through their territory and protect them (assuming the Munich agreement never passed). Afterwards Stalin was paranoid about the blue-black alliance and created the red-black alliance, his idiocy was in denial about the buildup and literally being caught with his pants down despite all the evidence to the contrary. But he was the first to take Hitler seriously and negotiated drawing a collective line in the sand, it was the only thing that would have prevented or shortened WWII significantly.

Chamberlain resigned after the Norway fiasco, his only saving grace was during the darkest hour where he tilted the needle against Halifax that wanted to surrender. But he was the first coward and history surprisingly does remember him, except for the part that he was a fascist appeaser not just "naive". I wonder how MAGA would have rebranded him today, probably a hero for and Hitler a pro peace leader as well.

True. However, the Vatican knows where its bread is buttered. To denounce the browns would be suicide. As conservative as Catholicism is, they've long since seen which way the wind is blowing. Loomer's understanding of the World doesn't extend outside the US border.

Hope we have a quiet Hurricane season. States are not ready to take over. Not even close.

Here is one I doubt they fill. Cross posting.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/08/politics/fema-administrator-acting-fired-cameron-hamilton

The acting administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency has been fired one day after he broke with fellow members of the administration when he told lawmakers he does not support dismantling the agency, a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed to CNN.

Cameron Hamilton, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, was escorted out of FEMA’s headquarters on Thursday, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

“It’s at the discretion of (Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem) to have the personnel she prefers,” DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told CNN, confirming that DHS official David Richardson will take over for Hamilton effective immediately. McLaughlin declined to explain why Hamilton was removed from the post.

A couple of thoughts....

Cruelty is the point, so that's a checkmark right there. Dismantling FEMA means citizens suffering when disaster strikes and yes, most states would have insufficient means to respond. This (in my cynical view) leads to the transactional nature of this regime. Loyalty, bending the knee, giving in to whatever concessions the regime requests, because otherwise your state is going to be underwater (financially and or literally)

A second and somewhat niggling thought regarding the dismantling would require not only some forethought (which would be the puppeteers behind the scenes and not the puppets..so somewhat conspiracy/sketchy logic) would be related to the tariff thread and Project 2025 where @TexasEd commented:

Tax reduction - Still in the barrel and it will be for the richest, industry based to incentivize factories and prop up real estate values.

Trump will sell out the working class in favor of the Real Estate class

 

Buying up land cheaply after a disaster and people are forced out of their homes is not only cruel but allows for the developers to pick and choose what parcel to purchase. I've stated before that some rural areas have turned into a quasi feudal system where locals cannot get healthcare and other needs but can survive by supporting the larger land owners who need certain services. A nation of slumlords and vassals where life is cheap and violent and desperate.

Yes, and not only nice coastal properties. S Dakota and such receive a lot of FEMA cash when they flood every year. If the states are now  expected to care for their own, how? Where does that money come from? Are we going to see a reduction in obligations to the feds?

FEMA is no way perfect, but it did what it was supposed to do. An issue was people expected magic. Fix my home overnight. Where is my check? I want it yesterday.

Fun times. And just on a personal note. That is the third job focus I had that has been taken away! Makes me think I was doing the right thing all along.

I remember reading about how Stalin personally censored some anti-Nazi books from being published in the USSR because he thought it would provoke Hitler (citation is Geoffrey Roberts' Stalin's Library, IIRC). That historiographical position is one where Stalin respected Hitler but deeply misunderstood him and thought that he would respond to literature like Stalin presumably would have based upon his insatiable reading habit. I'm not enough of a Stalinist to know if that's a popular position in the academic community.

Correct.  The plan is to turn disaster needs and assistance as a tool to force fealty, loyalty, and surrender of all resistance.

Disaster hits, and you bow to Trump and call him lord of all?  You bet ad hoc assistance (because none of this, not even a little bit, is about being "wise stewards of federal dollars").  Gobble his crank and call him Your Highness, and you'll get a spigot of dollars that doesn't ever shut off.

Disaster hits, and you aren't sufficiently loyal/subservient to Trump?  Get fucked.  Your people can die, your economy can crash, fuck 'em, that's what you deserve for your disloyalty to our King.

And this is also part of the plan.  For states (via actions like killing FEMA) and businesses (kill all small and medium sized businesses with tariffs and other economic folly), the plan is to destroy anyone below the billionaire class, and enable the billionaire class to swoop in and OWN IT FUCKING ALL.  It is 100% the plan to create a nation of two classes: oligarchs, and vassals.

Hey MAGAs....if you aren't an oligarch (and almost none of you are)....then guess fucking what?  The plan is for you to be a fucking serf, you fucking dumbasses.

Stalin was criminally idiotic in trying to appease Hitler in 41, going so far as to execute defecting German soldiers that risked everything to try to warn the Red Army of the imminent invasion, part of it makes sense since the Heer seemed unstoppable in 41, but at the same time it was so stupid to appease people like Hitler (or Trump). The invading army was much larger than the Red Army in 41. Even in terms of quantity they were woefully unprepared. 

Still it was Munich that kicked everything off, not only did it naively surrendered all of Czechoslovakia (the Sudetenland was mountainous terrain that offered the perfect buffer against a blitzkrieg) all of their tanks and factories (the 38t was comparable to the Panzer III), but most importantly split in half the continental alliance that would ever give Hitler pause, it was a complete and utter failure, I used to buy the argument that it was done to buy time, but British aircraft production was still a joke on year later, it was ideological appeasement through and through.

Then you'll love this.  I've read several times that the flag went up but they did not capture it on movie film but the people sending back clips to run in the news reels identified the photo taken as the perfect war bonds sales ad or something like that.  They staged a reenactment that was filmed but the original guys that put up the flag had moved on so they rounded up a few guys that arrived later to do the photo shoot.

Our ships' jets are falling off!

Quote

Another Navy jet falls into sea, marking fourth major mishap in months

Quote

A Navy fighter jet failed to land on an aircraft carrier and plummeted into the Red Sea on Tuesday, marking the fourth major mishap involving the vessel and the third loss of a fighter jet deployed with it since the warship left home last year.

The F/A-18F Super Hornet jet, worth about $67 million, went overboard after an unsuccessful attempt to slow it down upon landing on the USS Harry S. Truman, the Navy said in a statement. Both aviators aboard the jet safely ejected and were rescued at sea by helicopter with minor injuries, and no one aboard the warship’s flight deck was harmed, the service said.

Quote

While the incidents have not killed any service members, they have raised questions about the strain placed on the aircraft carrier’s crew and its ability to carry out a grueling deployment in which troops have clashed for months with Houthi militants in Yemen. The mishaps have the attention of senior U.S. military leaders, a defense official familiar with the discussion said Tuesday night, speaking on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has twice extended the aircraft carrier’s deployment since it left its home in Virginia last September, most recently last week, to ensure that the Navy had two aircraft carriers on hand to battle the Houthis. Since March, the carrier has been on the front lines of a full-scale assault that President Donald Trump ordered against the Yemen-based militant group in response to its attacks on commercial and military vessels dating to late 2023.

Opsec is clean though
