Trump's bruised ego from losing the fight for Greenland at Davos predictably surfaces with an insult to NATO soldiers, saying they weren't on the front lines and "held back" during the Afghanistan War. You know where Donald Trump was during that war? Riding in the back of Epstein's plane. #NATO

Death toll in Afghanistan when NATO answered the US’s call:
- 453 Britons
- 158 Canadians
- 89 French
- 59 Germans
- 53 Italians
- 44 Danes
- 17 Spaniards
“Stayed a little back, off the front lines “!
No one in the media will call him out over this lie or any of the others he spouts.

Trump on NATO: "I've always said, will they be there if we ever needed them? That's really the ultimate test. I'm not sure of that. We've never needed them. They'll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan and this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, off the front lines."

Just before his election Donald Trump promised to cut Energy Bills in half within 12 months.

Neither @cnn.com nor @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy is showing the Jack Smith testimony at this moment. Both are showing a speech by J.D. Vance defending Kristi Noem & ICE. Shameful. The media are determined not to hold Trump accountable for either J6 or any of his crimes being committed while in office.

Isn't there evidence that the white wife of Clarence Thomas provided funds to support Trump rioters' trip to DC and their assault on the Capitol on J6?

Jim Jordan has never passed the bar exam. The fact that he serves as Chair of the House Judiciary Committee tells you everything about how seriously today’s Republican Party takes its responsibility for legal oversight.

@mar-g-j.bsky.social At the ripe old age of 20 I once hitchhiked from Aix-en-Provence to Cassis on the Mediterranean and took a swim before looking for a Youth Hostel to stay the night. Finding none, I spent the night overlooking one of the deep inlets shooting off from the sea.

I have driven through the great state of Minnesota only once years ago. Given the daily news from there, I have now a profound new respect and admiration for the people of St. Paul and Minneapolis. May they come out on the other side of this battle with Noem/Trump/Miller seen as the heroes they are.

Once upon a time England and Europe looked to America to help save them from Hitler and the Nazis. Today, the good people of America look to the UK and Europe to help save us from Trump and his ICE Gestapo and from HegsDEATH and his Pentagon Goons planning to invade Greenland.

I read years ago that certain kinds of mental illness in families and close knit communities can be contagious. Trump is the insane contagion infecting everyone in his orbit. Congress needs to intervene. Courts need to intervene. We the people need to restore sanity to America before it's too late.
