Fox News is on In the gym and you got the anchor out here saying that “a powerful military” is a marker of success in Trumps first year. Get out of here. What’s materially different about it than it was before? Then cited “business accomplishments” As another success. These guys suck

Genuinely insane we are living in a world where the Danish have to deploy a battlegroup to protect themselves against America. Makes my blood turn molten, honestly

Important perspective from Greenland.

If I'm being honest, the collapse of the post-Cold War international order and the violent occupation of an American city are making it difficult for me to concentrate on housing policy.

as concise and correct an account as one could commit to electrons:

how many homes do the average American have, Michael? ten?

So astonishingly cyclical. Too bad (thank god) for Trump he doesn’t have a Henry Cabot Lodge in the Senate too

Mentality of whipped dogs.

school being canceled because the president sent armed thugs to harass and imprison the populace for voting against him should be the biggest domestic scandal in american history

and the Greenland bullshit is the biggest foreign scandal in American history we are really witnessing one sick fuck trying to destroy our nation from the top

This is the correct approach: to yell at and mock these little freaks.

What did the world look like vis a vis wealth before World War II? How did the US become the wealthiest (and most secure) nation in the world? These people are dumb as rocks. It definitely didn’t do it all on its own!!

The stupidest assholes on the planet.

We have a president who calls citizens "vicious animals," and it's so normal it barely makes a blip.

This is one of the ten people in the country who could put an immediate stop to ~90% of the things. Today. Just absolute Profiles in Cowardice.

Trump, an insane man, voluntarily destroying American global economic supremacy while the greatest beneficiaries of that supremacy stand by doing nothing sure is something to see. What can you say really.

America’s spoiled and decadent elites behave like children because they do not understand the basis of our wealth and power. They reject their responsibility to maintain stability in favor of pursuing their short term desires because they do not understand that bad things actually can happen to us.

The closing paragraphs say it all. It was Americans choice to elect a man like Trump to lead and represent them.

just a complete failure to understand that human beings have psychologies and the psychology of Trump and the people who like Trump is broken and twisted in ways that make normal diplomacy impossible he'd be more likely to strike a deal with you if you leveled mar-a-lago with a missile strike

"bullies understand one thing: force" "anyway I'm not sure why I just said that, let's wine and dine donald trump for nine years and endlessly douse him in praise and maybe he'll start doing what we want"

Calling Congressional Republicans and supportive business leaders cowardly or weak is generous. Assumes they're moral and patriotic, and therefore don't like all this, but are just too scared to do anything about it. Their actions, however, indicate that they're into it. Or at least don't mind.

republicans in Congress are the biggest fucking cucks on earth. even the few that do “stand up to Trump” do it in the most impotent, humiliating way possible

All the way back to 2015, it’s the pretending that is killing us. We have the strength to stop this weak man and his deranged plans, but we won’t, because it would require us to drop all our self-praising little fictions about being masters of restraint and subtlety, and actually strike back.

Trump is a megalomaniacal, criminal madman, he is the singular force that is destroying the entire world order and the whole American system, and rather than acknowledging him as a crisis, our institutions are still, STILL determined to relentlessly normalize him

Shut up, lie back, and take it, demands US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Standing up for yourself and your interests is, like, totally unfair to us. We started this fight for no reason, so you calm down.

at some point you have to see it as a psychological issue. the people who run this country are cowards. the media who reports on them are cowards. they have never been able to face what is happening, they are committed to a project of persuasion: pretend everything is fine and it magically will be!

For the love of God impeach and remove this man. There are only 2 options: 1) he really wants to do this 2) he's trolling Both of which are impeachable offenses

I watched “Heated Rivalry” this weekend finally and it’s all I can think about (when I’m not scrolling through here LOL)

The US is collapsing into fascism and going to war with Europe and the opposition party is like “I’m here to talk about the important thing: how your average grocery bill has risen by two dollars over the last year, which I also have no plan or ability to fix”

“Since you didn’t give me a peace prize I declare war on you” is the ultimate “you called me racist too many times, now I am racist”

Multi-layered “look what you made me do” lie. Because Norway didn’t give a him prize (it doesn’t decide winners) for ending wars (he didn’t end) the US won’t be peaceful anymore (bombing multiple countries) and will take Greenland (part of Denmark, not Norway) to stop Russia (it’d help Russia).

US higher education was a crown jewel, generating knowledge, wealth, prestige, and power unrivaled by anyone. And the US is throwing it away, because Americans elected a govt ideologically opposed to truth, science, merit, and racial/gender equality, preferring to weaken the country to reduce that.

Democrats 2024: Trump is a threat to democracy. Democrats 2025-2026 (prior to midterms): We will continue to vote for the Trump agenda Democrats 2026 (midterms): We must stop Trump at all costs Democrats 2026-2028: we will continue to vote for the Trump agenda

This is because we exported on to Mass Budget, which is also good. Come work for WRRB! They do important work for us!

Im at work doing my little tasks, but it’s hard to think any of it matters while ICE commits heinous violence and the President proposes war with all of NATO over Greenland. Fuck anyone who voted for this

There's no coherent argument for invading or buying Greenland, and when Trump tried to say one to NYTimes it came out as gibberish from a condo salesman about the pride of ownership. It's basically the same as declaring war on Germany to "own" Ramstein Air Base. No upside, immense downside.

I do not think Kamala Harris would have

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

"before Russia or China make their move." What the hell are they talking about? This is madness.

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

I keep going back to this. This is a taunt. They're taunting us. There is no other possible interpretation of what they're doing. But media simply ignores this deranged behavior, because if they talk about it, one must conclude that DHS is a rogue agency, of villainous paramilitary thugs.

There is absolutely no theory or philosophy of US government where it is appropriate for the Department of Homeland Security to taunt, mock, and terrorize the citizenry of the Homeland. It's pure evil - an authoritarian campaign of vindictive terror.

Right. The point is not “it matters extra because it’s a citizen,” the point is “we either hang together or we will all hang separately.”

It is not an "Ice-related shooting". ICE agents shot and murdered a 37-year-old unarmed woman trying to leave the scene of federal agents with guns and aggression. That's murder.

remains striking the extent to which trump quite loudly does not see himself as president of the united states and more as a clan leader for his supporters

“DHS Says” is shorthand for “I want you to give the government that has lied since day one about everything, especially its secret police force, the benefit of the doubt”

Bring state murder charges. They can try to pull it into federal court, but let a jury decide.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
