The felon president who pardoned 1500 violent J6 Capitol rioters he incited that went on to viciously assault American police officers just called for β€œlaw and order.”

So

We’re going to start a war with Denmark to get Greenland

With Panama to get the canal

With Mexico when we invade to attack the cartels

With Gaza to build that Trump statue

And maybe Canada to make it the 51st state

No wonder he supports Russia over Ukraine

Putin is his role model

Not sure if crashing the stock market counts as a "little disturbance."

Although Trump has initiated the US withdrawal from the Paris agreement, it hasn’t yet taken effect. There’s a one-year waiting period for the US exit to become effective.

Trump just repeated the Kremlin lie about what the U.S. has spent in Ukraine, literally a figure that comes from Russian intelligence

He has been told over and over and over and over and over again that $350 billion is an insane lie and he will not stop telling it

Trump’s Most Inexplicable Decision Yet The tariffs are real, and they are spectacularly foolish

β€œUsually, when elected officials implement foolish policies,” RogΓ© Karma writes, β€œthey believe the political upside outweighs the substantive downside. What makes Trump’s tariffs so unusual is that the politics of them also appear to be terrible.”

I've explained before that the legal challenge DOGE seems most worried about--for good reason--is an Appointments Clause challenge.

It took a while to get enough proof for suits. But it's getting there.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
