Trump's Second Term

[The Great Zaganza]

What I see is Trump becoming more and more passive, only reacting to what is going on right this second.
When he is the room with anyone else on his team, he tends to let them take the lead.
When he is presenting something, it's like he heard it for the first time.
When asked about anything that happened to him yesterday he looks like can't remember.

Trump has always been about BSing his way out of his premeditated ignorance, but now he seems to just not know what is going on.

Well Trump may be able to use cognitive decline as an excuse, what explains Vance and the rest of the Republicans.

Circa 2019 Finland in anticipation of making a NATO application put out a tender to supply its future defence aircraft. The Swedes offered their SAAB-Gripen at a favourable price, amongst others, but Finland went for the much more expensive US F-35's. Budget: US$12bn.




We can no longer trust the USA. We should boycott their goods and services.

Nobody wants to fly a Saab. The oleder Finnish pilots somehow managed them. Younger pilots used the ejector seat and crashed the Saabs they still had.

This seems like the next step.



They've already tried it out with Mitch McConnell.

I doubt the two-man assault by Trump and Vance was planned or premeditated, I think it is more a case of what they have been saying to each other in private. 'Who does he think he is, the ungrateful upstart?!'

Yes and no. Trump can only handle short press events anumore. he needs a side kick: Vance or Musk. Nobody lelse works so far.

He did manage to remember which World War comes next.

Bloomberg: The Trump administration is privately demanding a public apology from Zelensky to repair relations.

 

[Safe-Keeper]

Well, that's February too over with. I think I'll feel relief every time a month passes from hereon until the GOP is (hopefully) kicked out of office.

Turns out there's a silver lining to how time is starting to fly now that I'm starting to put on years.

If I insult you, you need to say sorry for that.

I think after he said Biden would lead us into World War II he permanently etched '3' into one of his fingernails as a reminder.

Mass deportation leaves 100 deported people trapped under armed military guard in a high-rise hotel in Panama after the country agrees to take 299 people, but apparently doesn't know what to do with them once it's received them. If they're lucky they might end up in a camp in the jungle, but at the moment they're in limbo. One has broken their foot trying to escape, another has attempted suicide.

It's a Norwegian page, but I ran it through Google Translate, so the feature will be in English.

That's the behaviour of an abusive partner.

Bloomberg: The Trump administration is privately demanding a public apology from Zelensky to repair relations.

And it will be the greatest apology in history like the world has never seen before! Trump invented the word "apology". Most people don't know that.

 

[Sharpless]

And don't forget to make Zelensky thank Trump for all the aid the Biden administration gave him and that Trump is now threatening to take away.

Well, they're Swedish but there was a SAAB factory in Finland at one point. Employment for local people so we can't diss our cousins too much.

 

[stanfr]

Well since the early meaning of apology was simply 'a defense of one's actions or words' (apo-logos) Zelensky should take them up on it and explain that he responded as he did because Trump & co are a bunch of ****** narcissistic *******!

Lindsey has a message for Europe

Lindsey Graham
@LindseyGrahamSC

To the hand-wringing Europeans who felt offended by President Trump rejecting being lectured by President Zelensky: Be my guest to defend Ukraine from Putin.

It is long past time for the Europeans to show they are capable of defending their own continent.
They’ve allowed their militaries to be hollowed out and when Europe speaks, no bad guy listens.
I say this with great sadness: The last group of people that I would count on to defend freedom are the Europeans.

JFC. Well, you're welcome, Lindsey.

Americans -- left, right and center -- as well as nations the world over, judge other nations by their current leadership, policies and behavior, as a single state actor. There is no gold star for yesterday's glories when any state goes off the rails. Today's USA is the deadliest enemy the world has ever seen, a nuclear superpower with an unparalleled ability to place overwhelming conventional forces anywhere on the globe. The US Left has supported many evils since 9/11, including state-sanctioned torture, opening the gates to normalized cruelty, and in lock step, Trumpism.

It is entirely within common practice to call out all Americans -- the guilty, the innocent and the worst, the thumb-sucking oblivious.

It's all about denying resupply, closing bases, sinking carrier fleets now. I think the Mediterranean could credibly be denied to US fleets with relative ease. In fact, might just mosey on down to the Strait of G and toss off a few heartfelt vaffaculos myself.

So easy if I were Canadian. All you have to do is face True North, and Americans get a proper faceful of ass. How kind of Fate it should be so.

ETA: Form and join the American Resistance, and engage in sabotage. You will then once again have friends and allies.

Yeah! Kill us all - let God sort us out.
