It is only a matter of time until something really bad happens. In 5 short weeks Emperor Dumbass has destroyed America's soft power apparatus, installed a Russian agent as DNI, installed two lunatics at the FBI and insulted and pissed off all of our long term allies. Now convicted felon Peter Navarro is telling tRump that Canada should be kicked out of the Five Eyes Intelligence Sharing group, totally oblivious to the likely reality that none of the four - Canada, UK, New Zealand, Australia - are sharing much with us for far Gabbard will send it directly to Putin. Because of all of this we are now blind to those who would do us harm both foreign and domestic. Something bad will happen. And what is the likely result - Emperor Dumbass uses it to declare martial law. Will that be enough to wake supine Republicans and feckless Democrats from their slumber? Will it be too late?
Agree, and the republicans have run interference for the rapey felon since 2017, knowing he lied and spouted conspiracy theories throughout his entire term. But the republican party is now a protection enterprise with an agenda to once and for all tank our democracy in the name of radical religious extremism BS and power to the oligarch class forever and ever. No moderates or liberal politicians need apply. The dems tried the rule of law, and it failed massively because dealing with a criminal blessed by the republicans broke our system along with an electorate gaslighted and brainwashed by right wing media enablers.
And Donnie the mobster knows that if you simply ignore enough norms, ‘they let you do it.’ But, by the time the GQP wakes up, it will be too late. Comrade Krasnov will simply refuse to be dislodged from the White House.
He’s getting his ducks in a row: fire the IGs, empty out DOJ and FBI, fire the generals. All he needs now is a problem (and if nothing comes up, invent one!) so he can proclaim martial law. Bonus—suspend elections! Police, military, lawyers and courts—all at his command.
we have read the same nazi playbook trump is using. the next chapter is the reichstag fire (so he can use the military against us and jail anyone that opposes him and then comes the night of the long knives , where he takes out anyone that threatens his total power over us. remember-first they burn the books, then they burn the bodies.
I just posted that on Twitter before o saw this Substack. Yes. We are with the Axis of Evil. Only took two months to achieve it. Hitler did the same in the same amount of time. I’m ashamed of America and ashamed of being American.
In case people don't know it, Trump has been a Russian asset for decades. He's Putin's boy, and anyone who's paying attention knows it. Ever notice how everything--EVERYTHING--Trump does benefits Putin, either directly or indirectly? I am embarrassed for my country. We are now officially the bad guys. How disgusting.
European nations, without the US, are the only allies in this war against Russian agression and world fascism. We are now the enemy, part of the Axis, as you say. Therefore, Europe must retaliate against us. Sanction us. Tariff the hell out of us. They must create a roaring war economy to produce enormous military strength. We must understand that NATO no longer includes us, that we do not deserve to be saved by our former European allies. We have abandoned all reason and human decency.
I hope to see this within my lifetime. All I can say is that Trump has stoked a patriotic, civic and existential fire here in Europe the likes of which I have never seen in my lifetime and that we have not experienced collectively since WWII.
WE WILL PREVAIL.
WE WILL BEAT THE HELL OUT OF AND END EVERY NAZI THE WORLD OVER ONCE AGAIN.
ARE YOU IN THE U.S. GOING TO RISE UP AND JOIN US???
The EU is powerful and is rearming as we speak. Remember, the UK and France are nuclear powers. Right now, the EU would likely beat Russia's ass if they went to war. Look what poor, little Ukraine has done to their military. The only thing that would tip the balance is our (or China) joining Russia. I'm not sure the Chinese would intervene.
Yes he is. And as soon as the rest of America recognizes it, the better chance we’ll have of taking it back. I doubt there will be an election in 2026, and if there is, Musk will rig it just like he did this past November. And I believe with all my heart that he did just that and will do it again.
I wouldn’t have been so suspicious if agent orange hadn’t won every swing state. And agent orange (or should I now say agent Red?) made a few comments about muskrat’s help with the election.
I’ve never forgotten when GWB was running and was asked on a tv news show what he thought about his chances. He gave a “just between us boys” grin and said, “I know I’m going to win here” — and pointed on a map to Ohio. Books have been written about the evidence that Ohio was stolen.
Perhaps we are naive to think that there is still such a thing as a free and fair presidential election?
Russia and North Korea are tiny little countries in the world. Pipsqueaks!
1. Why are the US and European economies so much stronger than Russia and North Korea? Because innovation and job growth is stimulated by personal freedom and human rights and rule of law. Russia and North Korea punish innovation, free speech and entrepreneurship. Law is what the leader says it is.
2. Why is the US abandoning free and powerful Europe and siding with Russia and North Korea? Because we have a President who has pledged his personal allegiance to the leader of Russia and insults our friends in Europe and the American people. He supports and represents the little gangster in Moscow. Instead of the 340 million American citizens he promised to serve.
Then the enemy isn't really Russia (it's a pipsqueak, as you say). The enemy is American oligarchs and their wholly owned subsidiary, the Republican Party, the epitome of treason.
Burke, I don’t believe Trump has any interest in innovation and job growth - and no interest in democracy. In contrast, autocracy is really really lucrative and you get to play with the Big Boys Club.
I don't think anything trump does, unless it involves money for him, is about anything but his personal safety. He somehow got himself involved with Russia many years ago & has had to deal with their blackmail ever since - he is compromised & cannot be relied upon for anything except fealty to his 'boss' ! So no he doesn't actually 'support' putin, he is just terrified of what he could do to him if he gets out of line !
Russia knew Trump was in desperate financial trouble in the 80s. Western banks wouldn't even talk to him because of his record. Russia bailed him out and have owned him ever since.
I'm expecting the draft to resume. I fear for my grandson's futures. Three major nuclear powers trying to divide the world between them virtually guarantees war. With the current crop of idiots running the US, I expect that it would go nuclear in short order. Remember, during his first term he asked what good nuclear weapons are if we don't use them?
I think this national cesspool is going to be far deeper than we think. The parallels to WW II are frightening.
I agree Trump is a traitor I agree most of the Republican Party are compromised or traitors. The MAJORITY of Americans are not. It is understandable to be afraid and angry. We MUST ACT on those emotions otherwise this is nothing more than a place where people gripe. Even one small action can be meaningful. Yesterday I can California Gov. Newsom’s office and asked as his constituent, Gov. Newsome make a public announcement supporting Ukraine, since Trump at the UN does NOT speak for many Californians.
We need to exert pressure on Former Presidents Obama and Biden to public speak out. We need to get Former Vice President Harris to speak out. Trump is so overconfident and consumed by Power he will over play his hand and the people will have had enough. There are already POSITIVE sings yesterday when several Republican members of Congress sided with Ukraine and stated that Russia started the war. Stay focused and do just one thing today to Defend Democracy. Then repeat tomorrow.Things seem bad, but we aren’t on Omaha Beach or in the 100 th Bomb Group of the 8th Airforce with 70 % casualties. BE DEFIANCE
Dean O. consistently and plainly makes tRump's sickness as clear to the public as possible.
tRump (and musk) along with putin, xi and others, are forming an anti-democratic league of dictators who will subvert the will of the people for freedom, equality and peace at every opportunity that becomes available to them. They care not a penny for truth, fairness or the well being of humanity. They care only for themselves, their power, money and glory.
Can't wait to suffer whatever "coincidental" atrocity unfolds on American soil as a pretense for some exponential tragedy to be perpetrated by Trump and fellow rotted to the core evil travelers.

Musk and Donny work for Putin. This has become obvious. They aren't hiding it. DOGE is all about harming America, to benefit Putin.
You mean Comrade Krasnov.

Hit that on the head. 100%

I'm just sick over this administration turning it's back on Ukraine 🇺🇦🙏😩
I’m sick of this maladministration turning its back on America and our allies.
Me too, spent the night crying for Ukraine and our fate here in Europe as I watched the documentary 'Lirica ucraina' ('Ukrainian Whispers').

You'd better not bloody let the U.S. intervene.

Fun with numbers and a couple of questions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
US GDP: $27 Trillion
European Union GDP: $18 Trillion
US & Europe Combined: $45 Trillion
Russia GDP: $2 Trillion
North Korea: $300 Billion ($0.3 Trillion)
Russia & North Korea Combined: $2.3 Trillion
The score folks is $45 to $2.3.
Russia and North Korea are tiny little countries in the world. Pipsqueaks!
1. Why are the US and European economies so much stronger than Russia and North Korea? Because innovation and job growth is stimulated by personal freedom and human rights and rule of law. Russia and North Korea punish innovation, free speech and entrepreneurship. Law is what the leader says it is.
2. Why is the US abandoning free and powerful Europe and siding with Russia and North Korea? Because we have a President who has pledged his personal allegiance to the leader of Russia and insults our friends in Europe and the American people. He supports and represents the little gangster in Moscow. Instead of the 340 million American citizens he promised to serve.
The state of California has $4 Trillion GDP. California alone has a bigger economy than Russia and North Korea combined.

And how long until Trump gets us in a war and reopens Selective Service (aka the draft)?
I’m sure he’s drooling at the idea of send troops into combat against American citizens.
Or…until we are attacked at home? It may be unnecessary, as he’s destroying us from the inside.
Hi Ada,
I'm expecting the draft to resume. I fear for my grandson's futures. Three major nuclear powers trying to divide the world between them virtually guarantees war. With the current crop of idiots running the US, I expect that it would go nuclear in short order. Remember, during his first term he asked what good nuclear weapons are if we don't use them?
I think this national cesspool is going to be far deeper than we think. The parallels to WW II are frightening.
The big question is, will he draft DEI and women for cannon fodder?
I agree Trump is a traitor I agree most of the Republican Party are compromised or traitors. The MAJORITY of Americans are not. It is understandable to be afraid and angry.

The first thing abusers do is isolate their victims. Trump is isolating us for that reason.
Dean O. consistently and plainly makes tRump's sickness as clear to the public as possible.
tRump (and musk) along with putin, xi and others, are forming an anti-democratic league of dictators who will subvert the will of the people for freedom, equality and peace at every opportunity that becomes available to them.

If you support any of them, fuck you, traitor!
Can't wait to suffer whatever "coincidental" atrocity unfolds on American soil as a pretense for some exponential tragedy to be perpetrated by Trump and fellow rotted to the core evil travelers.
Like W's 9/11.
Like Netanyahu's "October Surprise".
Like Hitler's Reichstag.
Where have the FBI, CIA, Home security been for the last 2 decades. It’s not like Trump was hiding it
