He's got concepts of a plan... and the rest is pure cruelty, vengeance and keeping the broligarchy rich and powerful. 🤬🤦🏼‍♀️

Thanks for watching the bastard so we don’t have to. Franz Mayer, an EU/US legal expert currently at Columbia University, in a recent zoom discussion about future EU defense policy under a second Trump presidency, consistently predicted total lawlessness for the US during his term of office. Other participants on the panel could not quite comprehend the import of this fact. For instance, a question posed regarding the timing of Trump taking the US out of NATO. Mayer answered that Trump would not act by any rule of law so he could do it tomorrow. I fully expect Trump’s autocracy (especially egged on by EU’s existential enemies like Musk and Murdoch) to declare war on the EU. First via economic tariffs, second via long established Russian financial oligarch and Intelligence networks embedded on the ground across the EU & UK and finally militarily. The EU as an idealistic postwar Peace Project with its now long gone cultural conservatism of Pax Americana is already being wrong footed on every front.

Anyone interested in more information can go to the Dublin’s DCU Brexit Institute website run by Frederico Fabbrini. Follow the links to ALCIDE (Activating the Law Creatively to Integrate Defense in Europe).

Well said. Unfortunately, so right. As you suggest, despite our exhaustion, we need to find the strength to continue to be alert and do whatever we can to prevent as much as we can of Trump's horror agenda.

Maybe Jen Psaki should have done the interview. Welker was weak. It's almost like Trump interviewers fall under some kind of spell. Might as well have been Chuck Todd.

It wouldn’t have mattered.

We need to dispense with this fantasy that some interviewer or debater would be able to paint him into a corner if only they had the right set of questions or talking points. Trump’s ability to stay on his bullshit is superhuman.

Unless mainstream media stops pretending that Trump and the rest of the GOP are acting in good faith and starts relentlessly printing articles and running televised segments highlighting Trump’s endless stream of lies and the extent of his and his inner circle’s thuggery, they will continue to be complicit in normalizing American fascism.

I also think it’s a fantasy that any of his supporters will experience any form of buyer’s remorse if their lives get worse as a result of his policies. As long as the Republicans fulfill their promise to inflict pain and suffering upon the people they hate, they will continue to believe it’s raining regardless of how much piss is landing on their own heads.

One of nature's biggest mistakes. Sorry. He is not human.

I'm very upset about this mess we're in. America doesn't deserve it. The American people don't deserve it. No individual should be allowed to say or do and get away with saying the things that Trump says and gets away with them without paying the consequences. He must be held accountable. I don't care who the hell he is! Hatred must pay the price!

Language is important: as of right now, Trump's cabinet nominees are still only nominees. They will only be "appointees" if Congress allows it. And so we have about 6 weeks remaining to deflate 47's reign by refusing to allow recess appointments of his nominees to happen. It's this basic responsibility that Congress owes us: to investigate each nominee through the full legal approval/disapproval process.

I'm gathering resources in this doc to help We the People take action to prevent recess appointments. It's our right. https://bit.ly/StopRecessAppts

It’s not Goebbel Miller resembles, it’s Eichmann, he did some of Hitler’s dirty work. The Jews tracked him down to South America and put him on trial after he hid for years, Miller better watch his back. What goes around comes around.

I think a lot of people are making the mistake of putting Trump in the same category us other, ('much smarter') fascists - such as Mussolini and Hitler. You say "the goal of fascists is to overwhelm and distract you to the point of exhaustion". I very much doubt that Trump is even aware of those types of tactics.

When he said that he didn't know anything about Project 2025, he was probably, (for once), telling the truth. His "goals" are much simpler: stay out of jail and enrich himself.

I'm not saying he won't do what he has said he's going to do. But he'll only do it if the billionaires, now living down at Mar-A-Lago, convince him that he can personally benefit from it. So yeah, still scary - face-eating leopards - stuff!

Does Trump really not understand NATO, or is he just dumbing down for his DUMB supporters? I think all he knows is Putin says "NATO bad."

Thanks for the recap of lies and bullshit blown out of Wanna Be Dictator’s ass. I can just see the gullible fools eating this up and believing every word.

Also, the two losers you continue to valorize - Joe Biden and his servile sidekick Kamala Harris - are still providing unwavering support to Israeli genocidal maniacs who are committing mass murder with complete impunity against starving Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. But I guess you will never condemn them, right? Their godawful war criminal administration is 💯 percent responsible for returning Trump the Terrible to the White House.

Because Trump is a mess doesn't give him the right to make America all messed up
