We are in Germany. Early 30’s. Clearly Trump unstable. Lawless. Comic book bad guy. Where are the Republicans in Congress?
Who is Trump instructing to arrest Obama here? Is he giving an order? If so, to whom? His AG? The FBI? A fantasy savior? His continued calls to arrest his opponents seek to condition the public to accept punishment by decree.

Unstable. Incoherent. Dangerous.
President Trump made a surprise appearance in the White House briefing room to mark his first year in office, delivering a rambling, unfiltered monologue that previewed a second year shaped by few constraints.
An unfettered Trump enters his second year on his own terms
Donald Trump’s extended, unfiltered appearance in the briefing room reflected a presidency increasingly unburdened by traditional constraints.

It’s a mistake to think Trump Greenland madness is about US national security. We are not going to homeport naval units or station bombers in Greenland. It’s a sensor package not a war platform. This is minerals and ego. Crazy. Destructive.

Humiliating. She faced death or torture to confront the dictatorship. Stayed in Venezuela. Trump handed the government to the criminal Venezuelan regime not the democratic opposition. He just wants the oil.

Don't bother arguing about whether ICE is a police force or a military force. It's neither. It behaves as a disorganized, violent mob, cursing, shouting contradictory orders, and attacking unarmed citizens on a whim. It is deployed to create fear and chaos, not to enforce laws or establish order.

Rubio. Very intelligent. Experienced. Educated. Opportunist. Lust for power. Despised Trump publicly. No principles. CBS?
This is what state-regime media looks like.
CBS News ran a segment gushing over Rubio — calling this his “moment" and saying: “Florida, once an American punchline, has become a leader on the world stage. Marco Rubio, we salute you! You are the ultimate Florida Man!”

Zero sense in moving US naval assets or permanently basing combat aircraft in Greenland. Ice 2 miles thick and 80% of land. Weather. Ports. Zero roads. Oil/gas/minerals extraction dubious. Greenland a SENSOR, a tripwire… not a base. 200 US Space Force troops there.
