Two possibilities here: Bessent is an uneducated nitwit who fooled Wall Street for decades, or a craven opportunist who will lie all day long just so he can keep being addressed as "Mr. Secretary."

I believe my wife will understand that the best outcome is for me to beat her to a bloody pulp. How many of these men are domestic abusers ?

Bessent is so calm. But he has to be because if the US can't sell this idea and the world actually rebels, the US is ultimately fucked. Question is, will the world hang tough? I am not overly optimistic.

It’s for the Europeans own good.

One of our cats is like "NO TOUCH, ONLY PET" and he's a confused little gremlin.

we haven't really been in that business for about 130 years. and they've been a pretty good 130 years. and we've got plenty of stuff now, however we might have acquired it. also acquiring Greenland is wildly absurd. so basically stfu

What, are you going to write another Strongly-Worded Letter™️, Chuck?

As Ted Cruz urges a seizure that will break NATO, remember the two Senators viewed as orchestrators of Trump's Jan 6 plan were Cruz and Josh Hawley - both political proteges of Peter Thiel. Neither has ever broken with Thiel, or with Trump. Both, like all Thiel avatars, push Putin's interests. 1/

Cowardice and total abdication of duty. If Republicans do not draw the line in advance, they will not meaningfully oppose him when he takes the action.

LOL. Do not expect these guys to ever become the solution.

Rand Paul is a deeply principled contrarian right up to the point of doing anything about it.

Wow, and just when people were saying you stood up for your principles.

They all casually use the language of abusers.

“I do not like that man Ted Cruz I do not like his toxic views I do not like his nasty speeches I do not like the shity preaches I do not like he fishes I do not like him when he kisses Puling of that beard he ain't That man Ted Cruz looks like a taint” - John Oliver

I mean, Rand Paul has a lot of problems, but I'll say this for him: He has actual principles and doesn't give up on them because the GOP's golden calf says to.

What the actual fuck is it going to take for you and the others to do something and impeach the motherfucker? Are you just wait until after he invades Greenland? Get off your sorry asses, stop dragging your feet, and REMOVE HIM FROM OFFICE BEFORE HE DESTROYS NATO! EVERY SECOND IS ON YOU.

Interrupting your doomscrolling with my cat, Clawed Van Damm.

I was watching the Hobbit again and I got curious about the origin of Tolkien dragons, so then I looked up the father of all dragons and THE DUDE MADE A GIRL LOSE HER MEMORY AND SHE ENDED UP MARRYING HER OWN BROTHER WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK

This is a mobster telling a shop owner that the police can't protect them, only they can.

"Your [military was] so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."

If I were the EU or a NATO ally, I would make it very clear to the next American administration that a precondition of normalizing relations is prosecuting this entire regime.

Dumpster fires can be hot, for a minute.

The world literally hates us right now, but ok.

It makes me so angry that this dude and everyone else in this administration pushing this is even on these shows spouting off what is plainly unhinged nonsense, this is crank caller gets hung up on levels of batshit

Man I wish I was a member of the one body constitutionally empowered to do literally anything about it

Also, if he's getting shivved by Trump anyway, why not return the favor and become one of the small group of Senators who can stop this nonsense.

Every time fetterman say loony right wing shit I am Contractually obligated to remind everybody that he was a Bernie Sanders handpicked candidate…

New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen, leading Democrat on Foreign Relations, currently in Denmark on cross-party mission, on Trump’s threat to Europe: “My first thought was, Vladimir Putin wrote that.”

Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego: “Trump has made the US now the enemy of the free world.”

EU leaders will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow to discuss Trump’s threats, Reuters reports.

Trump is psychologically incapable of backing down so only conflict lies ahead and it will be America that suffers.

The European Union plans to suspend a trade deal with the United States over Trump’s Greenland tariffs, Bloomberg reports.

Trump backs down all the damn time. Why is anyone taking this fool seriously?

Trump has betrayed everyone who ever worked with him. An entire population of protesters? Not even worth mentioning.

We're cooking some new apocalyptic areas for our #boomershooter 🎮 Check out this combat section in the ruins of our planet! #indiegames #retrofps

I hate the people who run the country and my home state. Can we get new people running things PLEASE???

That is EXACTLY why we don't have it already. I maintain that the whole "no more mask mandates, get back to work, y'all can just die idc" phase of COVID policy came to be because that wee little bit of stimulus money they gave us all gave people the ability to tell their bosses "no" for a minute.

Make no mistake, he is justifying violence if he objects to the outcome of an election. Keep that in mind as we prepare for 2026.

Jesus I just want him to die already. 10 years of our lives this stupid orange prick has tormented. I want McDonalds to take its damn course already.

He got his Nobel Peace Prize. Now can he just fucking die already.

I just want him to die already.

I don't need to tell you that we are rapidly approaching a full-on civil war here in the US. I think that Trump is very ill, worse than we thought, and the crazies in charge are trying to do whatever they can to hurt Americans before he dies. They know once he goes, so does MAGA.

Every day I wake up hoping to read that obituary

Every day I wake up hoping he has.

Can’t he just die already?

We have unlimited money for paramilitary forces that kidnap people off the streets but also have something called "school lunch debt" what are we doing here

The fucker doesn't understand anything but escalation. At this rate he's gonna nuke Minneapolis before Valentine's Day.
