SECOND: Signym, fix your signature which includes only the clause of a conditional statement and totally reverses the meaning of the original Kissinger full quote:
"Word should be gotten to Nixon that if Thieu meets the same fate as Diem, the word will go out to the nations of the world that it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but to be America's friend is fatal."
NOPE! Doesn't reverse the meaning at all. In fact, it makes the statement even stronger by providing a specific example (Diem) of one of "America's friends" meeting a sad fate.
There have been many examples since, including Saddam (who was once our "ally" in our fight against Iran), and Noriega (who cooperated with our CIA to provide training grounds in Panama, and -some say- a route for CIA drug smuggling.)
Stop nattering, old fool.

I've checked it myself and there are no mentions of this either in his linked article or the comment section below it.
These were all second's words.

Tell that one to the judge. I'm really going to enjoy watching all the YouTube videos covering your dumb ass in court.
You do whatever you want to do. But this is the least safe you've ever been spouting your particular brand of poison.
You don't have a 4,000 sub follower on TikTok that is going to make what you say here viral, but Firefly isn't exactly an unknown entity. You never know what could happen that would make eyes turn this way again, and you might just end up with feds at your door if you keep it up.
P.S. You know that I'm not going to rat you out. But somebody else could. And they'd have a very long list of your behavior to look over.
What do you feel your chances of not having your life ruined for at least the next 4 years are if somebody sent a link to your posts to Kash Patel or Pam Bondi right now?
Stop digging yourself deeper and get some help.

Gee, when did the egg-laying hen population decrease? 2020 thru 2024.
Hmmm.... looks like another Biden* fuckup.

If everyone else refused to buy eggs when they're over $2.00 per dozen, they'd figure out a way to get it back below that price pretty fucking quick.
The reason why eggs are $12/dozen in some places is because the idiots there pay that price.

Three billionaires: America’s oligarchy is now fully exposed
As Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk alter US media, the connections between wealth and power are in plain sight
By Robert Reich | Thu 27 Feb 2025 12.37 EST

One of the unacknowledged advantages of the horrendous era we’ve entered is that it is revealing the putrid connections between great wealth and great power for all to see. Oligarchs are fully exposed and they are defiant. It’s like hitting the “reveal codes” key on older computers that let you see everything.
On Wednesday, Jeff Bezos, the third-richest person in America, who bought the Washington Post in 2013, announced that the paper’s opinion section would henceforth focus on defending “personal liberties and free markets”. Anything inconsistent with this view would not be published, according to his statement. “Viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others.”
The Post’s opinion editor, David Shipley, promptly resigned, as he should have.
You’ll recall that Bezos barred the Post from endorsing Kamala Harris in the last weeks of the 2024 election. Subsequently, the paper wouldn’t print its cartoonist’s drawing showing Bezos and other oligarchs bowing to Trump, leading the cartoonist to resign.
Elon Musk, the richest person in the world, bought Twitter in 2022, laid off everyone who was filtering out hateful crap on the platform, renamed it X and turned it into a cesspool of lies in support of Trump.
Mark Zuckerberg, the second-richest person, has followed suit, allowing Facebook to emit lies, hate and bigotry in support of Trump’s lies, hate and bigotry.
All three of these men were in the first row at Trump’s inauguration. They, and other billionaires, have now exposed themselves for what they are.
They are the oligarchy. They continue to siphon off the wealth of the nation. They are supporting a tyrant who is promising them tax cuts and regulatory rollbacks that will make them even richer.
They are destroying democracy so they won’t have to worry about “parasites” (as Musk calls people who depend on government assistance) demanding anything more from them.
When billionaires take control of our communication channels, it’s not a win for free speech. It’s a win for their billionaire babble.
When they talk of “personal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful, as the rest of America slides into worse economic insecurity and fear.
When they speak of “freedom”, what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.
This “reveal code” moment is, in a way, a blessing. It allows everyone to see where the money and power have gone.
It is a prerequisite to the long and difficult but necessary process of creating an economy and democracy for the many rather than the few.

Quote:What is known about Kash Patel? “Surreal” and “Wacky” from today: FBI Director Kash Patel is considering bringing in trainers from the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) to beef up agents’ martial arts and self-defense skills, according to four people familiar with the plan laid out on a call this week with FBI field offices.

The newly appointed director discussed the idea during his first video conference call with the bureau’s 55 field office supervisors on Wednesday, said the people, who were granted anonymity to discuss the call’s contents because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Two people briefed on the matter said current FBI agents described the idea as “surreal” and “wacky.”

What about Pam Bondi? Bondi accused FBI of withholding thousands of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents she has vowed to make public.

Is there more about Pam Bondi? Too much more but I will stop with this: 'I just want to introduce her very, very handsome husband. I hate being around him. He looks too good,' joked the President. Before meeting her 'very handsome husband,' Pam went through two divorces and had a third wedding planned that ultimately got called off.

“Surreal” and “Wacky” Pam Bondi and Kash Patel. These two nutjobs are grotesquely incompetent and ineffectual which makes them par for the course in the Trumptard White House.

Quote:Nope. Only Warren Buffett was ever my billionaire. He has not turned Trumptard. I don't think he will because he is old enough to remember the need to brutally murder with firebombs millions of Nazis' wives and children in order to force the leftover Germans back to better behavior. Buffett knows how to fight evil with greater evil. Fighting evil with good does not work. You have to murder evil fuckers like 6ix and Signym to get the others' attention. Make them fear for their lives if you want them to improve their behavior.

'American backlash' coming at Trump over signature policy: poll
By Brad Reed | February 27, 2025 1:38PM ET
https://www.rawstory.com/trump-tariffs-2671235645/
With inflation showing signs of heating back up, American voters are taking a dimmer view of of president Donald Trump's signature economic policy.
Bloomberg reports that Trump "risks American consumer backlash" if he follows through on threats to slap tariffs on all imported goods from Mexico and Canada, as a new Harris poll conducted on behalf of Bloomberg shows 60 percent of respondents believe that the tariffs will raise prices on everyday consumer goods.
"While many of Trump’s proposed levies are not yet enacted, the findings signal that his plans for a tariff onslaught risk political blowback — and that his messaging on the issue hasn’t landed with many consumers," the publication writes.
Even before the tariffs have kicked in, Bloomberg adds, Americans have reported feeling the pinch of higher prices during Trump's first month back in office and "some 61 percent of US adults said they’d noticed an increase in grocery prices in the last month."
Eliza Winger, US economist for Bloomberg Economics, says that Trump going through with blanket 25 percent tariffs on Mexico and Canada would likely be poorly timed because "people are just worried about anything when it comes to inflation because prices are already so high" and "they are more sensitive to any sort of headline when it comes to inflation numbers."
