That's a really good point from a perspective I hadn't thought about.
I wonder what international late night talk shows have to say about us?
Eamus Catuli~AC 000000000101010202020303010304 020405....Ahhhh, forget it, it's gonna be a while.
It's no different whatsoever from Putin, or his mouthpiece, commenting on the death of a known dissenter saying something like, "we can't imagine what might have happened to him, but it looks like he tried to steal more chains than he could swim with."

I was thinking more of the Cold War days when anything and everything coming from Tass was met with a healthy dose of skepticism and ridicule.
Brezhnev is fine, he has a cold.
Andropov is well.
Chernenko is healthy!

Exactly, the media is on overload and they're terrified of paying out millions like ABC and CBS. So, they're way overly cautious about what they call out and how often they do so.
I didn't know about the USAF and Goldwater connections, but I remember Reagan's use very well. I was working as a peace lobbyist in the MT Leg when the RWers held a rally in the rotunda featuring that motto on a 10' x 3' professionally printed banner. After the rally they left it behind and one of the aides or interns told me it was at the info desk. I walked up to it and said we left our banner behind . I altered it to read: "PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH"
MEANS WAR
It joined many marches.
I hadn't thought about it in a long time. There's a slight chance that I still have it. If so, it will march again at the 7/17 "Good Trouble" protest, 40 years after I stole it.
Btw, in the 1980s the USAF or SAC motto was, "Peace is Our Profession", displayed at the gate of Malmstrom AFB in Great Falls, MT.

This is Sean Spicer on steroids telling reporters it was the biggest inauguration crowd ever.
UMMMMMMMMM

She genuinely is an irony free zone. Hilarious
Lol did she just tell on herself and the regime she works in?
Wow I mean Orwell would be impressed...
They have killed irony and mastered the art of the ALTERNATIVE REALITY and gaslighting so much so they’ve gaslit themselves. It was the stupidest of times.

“President Trump is truly the most transparent and acceptable president in American history…”
“We have truth on our side at this White House…”
“I think everybody, the American public believes it’s absurd for anyone to insinuate that this president is profiting off the presidency. … It’s ridiculous that anyone in this room would think he’s doing anything for his own benefit…”

Perhaps a reflection of how unserious America takes her?
... “I just want to say to your audience: There’s not a more hardworking president than Donald J. Trump,” she said during a Fox News interview. “I witness it with my own two eyes every day. That man is working around the clock. He hardly ever sleeps.”
More Levity!
Given the president’s propensity to fire off messages on social media in the middle of the night, the sleep claim rings true.
But given the number of hours he spends consuming cable news ― and complaining about it on social media ― and how often he golfs, many of his critics cast doubt on the rest of her statement.
Trump has spent nearly 40 of his first 175 days in office playing golf. The bill for his golf trips ― picked up by taxpayers ― was $26 million by March 29, according to a HuffPost analysis, some of which goes into his own pocket as he golfs at his own resorts.
Those payments also come as the Trump administration forces cutbacks throughout the government and reduces essential services to American citizens.
During Trump’s first term, his days were known for being unstructured, with as much as nine hours a day of “executive time,” which Politico reported at the time was spent “tweeting, phoning friends and watching television.”
Given those habits, many on X didn’t believe Leavitt’s latest claim about the president:
So hardworking
Hardworking? This is Karoline Leavitt's biggest lie yet. Donald Trump is out golfing every weekend. During the week, he spends half the time doing a TV show from the Oval Office signing Executive Orders rather than the serious work of talking to Congress about legislation.
Golfing is hard work?
He has never "worked" a day in his life. He walks around pontificating about shit he doesn't understand. That's not work.
And nobody spews more lies with their own two lips than Karoline Leavitt — and we witness it every single day.
OMG Yes! I mean, can you imagine how difficult it is watching multiple TV Channels for the first 5 hours of the morning!
Holy shit. That man is a hard worker! And leavitt watches him do it every day!
