Could be, I've heard the quote before. However, when a signature is changed it changes for every post ever made. So, .
Ah, I see. I just entered the quote looking for an origin and that link popped up. Took a while to find it on the page, though, because I don't usually show signatures.
Martin Niemöller was an amazing man. He somehow survived the concentration camps and the war, then never stopped fighting for peace for the rest of his long life.

... Trump criticizes Europe as failing to deal with Russia
The NSS criticizes Europe’s “lack of self-confidence” in contributing to a deteriorating relationship with Russia — but does not address Russian President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine in 2014 and 2022 or its campaign of sabotage, election interference and fomenting instability on the continent....
DonOLD continues to be a Putin Puppet. Reagan is appalled.

So Netflix want to buy Warner Bros. Big financial deal, youge opportunity for somebody. The deal is pending "regulatory approval." Who oh who could facilitate that approval or assure the deal is trashed? Oh yeah, Trump, who undoubtedly sees a youge opportunity for himself in demanding a blatant and not even subtle bribe from one or both the merging companies.
How much is it going to end up costing them? Paramount I think paid $10 mill in a "settlement" and threw in tossing some offensive staff. That worked, so I'll bet this one is going to be bigger. Other than straight economics, somebody explain how the US differs from your standard Banana Republic. (other than not growing any actual bananas, of course)
"Amid the intense and bitter bidding war for Warner Bros. Discovery — and as Paramount Skydance felt it had the inside edge due to its owners’ friendly relationship with Donald Trump — Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos privately met with the president to make his company’s case, according to multiple reports."

Bringing praise and gifts, I'm sure.
The glowing DonOld biographical mockumentery will be announced right after the deal is closed.

And three more years to go. Supes will have many chances to come around but probably won't. He's too far into it. I wonder if he's heard of the elderly woman Jan 6th insurrectionist who refused trump's pardon because she came to her senses and realized she'd been conned, admitted it, and accepted her sentence. I think it was just for trespassing. Supes will never admit he's been coned; too painful and humiliating. Never happen.
There's always been advertising "puffery" but it occurred to me that Trump's ummm "embellishment" habits may become the standard in which, like the "above average" kids of Woebegon, everything is better than anything else ever was.
Ran across this ad: "The quilted bag style all American women are obsessed with"
The words "all" and "obsessed" seem to be clues, along with the fact that I've never noticed anybody that had one. Maybe it's just me, or maybe it's just this area, but here a more accurate headline would be "Three ladies in Encino bought these to put their knitting in"

The Trump administration said in a court filing Monday that the president’s White House ballroom construction project must continue for unexplained national security reasons and because a preservationists' organization that wants it stopped has no standing to sue.
The filing was in response to a lawsuit filed last Friday by the National Trust for Historic Preservation asking a federal judge to halt President Donald Trump's project until it goes through multiple independent reviews and a public comment period and wins approval from Congress.
The administration's 36-page filing included a declaration from Matthew C. Quinn, deputy director of the U.S. Secret Service, the agency responsible for the security of the president and other high-ranking officials, that said more work on the site of the former White House East Wing is still needed to meet the agency’s “safety and security requirements.” The filing did not explain the specific national security concerns; the administration has offered to share classified details with the judge in a private, in-person setting without the plaintiffs present.
