Quote of the day

 

From The Diplomad, referring to the Trump indictment:


We have become a banana republic with nuclear weapons. My apology to banana republics; they, at least, provide us bananas.


Word.

I posted this yesterday at my favorite place.

We are now a banana republic. I weep for the old republic.

I forgot the nuclear weapon thing. Of course, I expect Biden to through all of our nuclear weapons in the bottom of the sea before he crumbles into dust.

As long as the puppeteers don't decide to use them so that they can declare martial law, suspend elections and officially declare the Constitution dead.

We made the original "Banana Republics", too. The U.S. military, mainly the Marines, made incursions on behalf of the United Fruit Company into Guatemala and Honduras. It made the fruit company the primary power in the region. Hence the name.
