Trump is bankrupting the United States.

Also: Any time you hear some dude claim he doesn't care what other people think, it is a 100% guarantee that he is ABSOLUTELY OBSESSED with what other people think of him, it's just that he wants them to think he's an independent-minded genius and brave iconoclast

e.g.: Elon Musk

A Danish Defence Seahawk helicopter evacuated an American service member having a medical emergency from a submarine 8 miles off the coast of Greenland to a hospital for treatment.
Betting this person’s family is very grateful.

Did President Trump even thank them?

Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office The ex-US ambassador had been under investigation over allegations he shared market-sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein while a government minister.

Peter Mandelson has been arrested in the UK in conjunction with his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

May the dominoes continue to fall.

He is using totalitarian tactics to crush universities, law firms, and media outlets. He has just levied the largest tax in history on working Americans and sent the global economy into a tailspin. He bragged about bombing innocents in Yemen and is prepping war with Iran.

It’s hard for me to hold in my head the breadth of the destruction, chaos and outright evil from this administration. Trump is fully backing a genocide and threatening with arrest or deportation those who oppose it.

The Supreme Court has effectively sentenced more innocent people to be disappeared into Bukele's torture dungeon. Disgraceful capitulation to fascism.

Centrists have caused a profound shift among the base of the Dem party through their cowardice in the face of Trump’s authoritarianism. In January Gallup found a plurality of Dems wanted the party to be more moderate, a new poll finds that the majority now want the party to be more progressive.

The new official definitions of anti-semitism which seek to criminalize Israel criticism, this admin’s authoritarian tactics, and AI fueled surveillance via Palantir, will be marshaled to crush dissent in ways that were impossible in 2003.

ICYMI β€” The FBI director flew there on the taxpayer dime on a private jet to do this…

Not just targeted…but targeted by MInnesota House Member, Pete STAUBER. He wants to let a Chilean company mine and then send minerals to China. Someone needs to look at his bank account. Zero benefit to MN and huge loss for area tourism.

Bobo, seen here just before she burst into flames talking to Jim Talarico, an actual Christian this weekend Talarico said that politicians shouldn't be pushing the 10 Commandments on anyone when they don't follow them. Bobo responded saying it helps her kids and then asked him if he wanted a handjob

Hitler’s Greenland Obsession After creating an economic mess with ill-advised tariffs, Hitler looked north in pursuit of resources and national security.

History check.

Hitler eyed Greenland during WWII for its North Atlantic strategic value.

Fast forward.

In 2019, Trump, sitting in the Oval Office, floated buying Greenland for its military positioning in the Arctic.

Two of Trump’s three wives were Eastern European immigrants and JD Vance's wife is the daughter of Indian immigrants. But waitβ€” aren't they always warning their red-hat rubes about the 'immigrant threat to Anglo/European American heritage' ? It's all a bit confusing. πŸ€”

🚨 As 1.2 million American deaths from Covid-19, which Trump called a β€œDemocratic hoax”, proved, Republicans were not immune to viruses.

But by still (!) supporting the man who tore up a nuclear deal with Iran who is now on the verge of attacking it, they're reached herd immunity to GOP hypocrisy.
