I think you guys are all underestimating our Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth. He can ABSOLUTELY lose a war to Venezuela.

Yep. Exactly this. Could you imagine someone like Hegseth leading an actual war?

It turns out that when there are zero consequences for lies and deceit, you can literally say anything.

This is a very bad indicator of what’s to come.

I can guarantee that Trump will try on the crown in private and look at himself in the mirror while he does it.

There are no limits to his corruption. No one can challenge his power.

Countries know what to do to avoid high tariffs.

Has there ever been a leader anywhere that was so easy to manipulate?

European governments should be doing everything they can to hasten the process. The world will be significantly safer with Putin gone and Russian β€˜power’ diminished.

What it feels like to be played like a fiddle. Trump is so far out of his depth with Putin it’s not funny. Really not funny.

Looks like the extrajudicial killings will continue.

America would literally go to war if another country did this to its citizens.

It’s good to know that private individuals are now able to fund the US military. I wonder who they are and what they have asked for in return for their payment? I also wonder how the American public will know whether the money actually gets to the military.

The enemy is now well and truly inside the house. And it’s been invited in.

You don’t need to be physically fit to join ICE. Just really racist.

There’s no way Trump and the GOP will be wiling to hand over power peacefully. They’ll either intensify voter suppression, rig the election, or not even have one (for the sake of safety and security, because the Democrats are trying to rig it etc).

Given the Trump family is likely to be living in the White House for generations to come, it makes sense for them to make it their own.

Mar-a-Lago North.

I wonder how the US would react if China started conducting air strikes on Filipino and Malaysian fishing boats in the South China Sea? I mean, it’s ok to do this now, right?

When (or if) fascism is eventually defeated in America, I’m not sure how Americans are going to be able to trust these agencies again.

He could tear down the entire thing and move the presidency to Mar-a-Lago and no one could stop him. People would say harsh things online. But no one would stop him. In fact, companies would offer to fund the construction of a new Presidential Residence at Mar-a-Lago.

Surely with this level of racism he’d be more suited to a cabinet position?

It’s simply extraordinary the amount of influence Putin - a foreign adversary - has over the President of the United States of America.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic:

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson β€œyou regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”
