Thank you for all seeing the moment clearly. I don't know if it started with Newsom or what, but there's been this weird thing going around American anti-Trump commentary where they've been going after European leaders for not standing up enough against Trump. As JVL lays out, the mechanisms to fix the Trump problem lay in AMERICA's hands. If he is going to be removed, it's the American people who have the tools to do it! Every leader could do better, but if things are so dire (which to be clear, they are), why is the American opposition strategy still just to watch polls and pray that maybe the House will flip in the midterms?
Trump sounds older than the hills in this rambling grievance event. Joe Biden never sounded like this (but he was close at the infamous debate)! But you won't hear anybody on the right complaining about his age. What a complete and utter embarrassment to himself and our country!
Why the hell do you think John Roberts continues to sit on his arrogant ass and not come out against the tariffs? If these idiots in black robes can't see what's happening to this country and step up to put the clamp on this moron, I'll have to start wondering whether they're in on the destruction of this country, too. Who knows, maybe they're in the Epstein files.
I agree that it's highly unlikely that Congress and the cabinet will take either of the options to get Trump out, but if the people who see the dangers of not getting him out say it's impossible and don't push it then it really has no chance.
Trump is an abuser and con artist. Plain and simple. There are no deals to be made with him that are worth the paper they are written on. It's a shame that he has been elected into a position that makes people have to quake in their boots.
Thanks guys for doing this breakdown of the turnip's breakdown at Davos. That 2020 election schtick, the wars he's ended, the grievances, the utter lack of any sense of history of NATO or the US for that matter....On and on he goes. Why doesn't anyone get off their chair and walk out? Did anyone do that? I wondered the same thing when he gave that "speech" at the UN after the escalator incident---he rambled on and at the end there was applause. For what he said or because he stopped talking?
Yes, your part was fun. Make sure you take some time to decompress every evening after your descent into the maelstrom.
This just came in. Apparently, there's a "deal", or rather concepts of a deal, so according to POS, it will last forever. Why do I get the feeling that someone smarter and more savvy than POS sat him down and told him what an ass he was and no, he's not getting Greenland, and unless he wants his ass kicked, he'd better grow up.
All this lead up to Greenland, feels really familiar to Venezuela to me (minus murdering fishermen so far.) Lots and lots of hand waving, panicky "we have to do this", "nation security, national security!!!" "Drugs!" When in the end it came down to oil. Greenland comes down to real estate. Trump wants to make the "greatest real estate deal in the history of the world, like no one's ever seen before!" He'll rename it with a trump tramp stamp, make map makers rename it and proclaim his greatness. That's all this is to him. However, it trashes NATO which is merely a cherry on the top to him. His comments on about how NATO has never done anything for us was disgusting.
The Congress is the branch that legally can acquire territory, not the president. It would have to be the congress that bargains for Greenland, not the president. Or, they could vote no now and put a stop to this dangerous farce.
You know, if Trump wasn't the president - if he was just some rich Manhattan socialite or something, and the NYT or even the NY Post broke a story that the people he paid to take care of him, and/or his family, were stealing his money, writing social media posts and signing his name to them, exposing him to embarrassing and potentially even dangerous situations, there would be LAWSUITS - criminal and civil - brought by the state on behalf of the demented Donald Trump. Yet somehow, because he is POTUS, and because his "employees" are government employees, and the law makers themselves stand to benefit financially and politically from his continuation in office, we hear BUPKIS. This is a scandal on so many levels. If DJT had ever shown a glimmer of humanity, I would actually feel sorry for him - being so abused and so used by the people who are supposed to love him and have his best interests at heart. I don't feel sorry for him. Nevertheless I do believe the way that his "advisors", the Congress and his family treat him is scandalous, and that they should be answerable for his conduct.
Please Bulwark friends, get a French speaker to teach you how to pronounce Macron. It does not rhyme with phone. The “on” is the quintessentially French nasal vowel sound and the “n” is almost silent. 🙄
I've got a fairly lively imagination and I didnt imagine this. We live with this parasite everyday. I wonder if anybody feels empathy for normal Americans because he's our president and he's nuts, or are they too disgusted with us that he got elected in the first place? I don't blame them for being mad at all of us. Thanks MAGA dipwads!
Carney got a standing ovation; Trump got embarrassed silence. Do you think any Republicans have even a glimmer of understanding of this. Trump is a problem, even more so Republicans.

Did Trump TACO already on the new tariffs?

Thank you for watching his moronic babble so we don't have to and breaking it down.
BTW, we have a great new trio in these three guys, Sam, JVL, and Egger. Great job!
