Trying to intimidate, muzzle, repress and stifle speech and laws around the whole world is a monumental task bound to fail.

Looks like MTG was right about one thing; he's now a lame fuck-up president. (paraphrasing)

As a Canadian who empathizes with Greenland, I say, respectfully sir, fuck right off. Wrap yourself in your flag, and try to restore democracy to your godforsaken graveyard of democracy. Denmark is superior to the US in every metric except military might. Health, crime, income inequality, happiness.

Well, Donald, sir, you leaving the Presidency to do anything else at all would be welcomed by decent people at home and abroad. Your best idea yet. Brilliant.

Authoritarians' first targets are often the intelligentsia because they are the least malleable and the least susceptible to mendacious propaganda.
The MAGAs are alienating an awful lot of voters to endear themselves to the boneheaded base. It could well backfire.

Trump called it the "failing New York Times" starting back in 2015. It hasn't failed yet, and it will still be going strong when Trump is nothing but a fading, putrid memory.

That's how free-market capitalism is meant to work. The President boldly asks companies to lower prices and they gleefully agree to make less profit. Doing whatever is politically advantageous to the president is the guiding principle of big business.

Why don't you go and get a good blue collar job Peter? How many of Trump's cabinet did good blue collar jobs, Peter? How many of these good blue collar jobs will be replaced by robots Peter?
These guys are good at selling; just rich, loud-mouthed con-men.

Trump has lackeys smarter than him invent clever excuses. These swarms of drones attacking from the east would come from where Mr Burgum? It's a fucking ocean. It would have to be boats. The US would not be able to detect a boat full of drones? You claim to see drugs on small boats in the Caribbean

All other countries are leaping forward with clean energy, and the ignorant MAGAs are going backward. Burgum is not a scientist. Energy can be stored in batteries even when the wind is not blowing. With wind and solar, there's a good chance one or the other is working most of the time.

All of a sudden foreigners are dangerous truck drivers. Rapes, murders, accidents, theft - all the fault of foreigners. Fucking racists. Lots of shootings, rapes, assaults, accidents & DUI's are caused by white, home-grown RW Americans. The MAGA crowd are a far greater menace than immigrant truckers

The DOJ is posting on a social media site, and making sweeping suppositions about the veracity of evidence. How quaint. "Weaponization" is an understatement. This is pure campaign rally style propaganda.

Insane, delusional megalomaniacs can be found on many psychiatry wards; but to find one elected president and have his delusions pandered to by so many people who know better really boggles the mind.

France and Spain had boats in the US 300 years ago. Maybe they need to take over the US for their national security. A lot of people say it.
In fact, the US under Trump is one of the biggest threats to most other countries.

He saved 10 million lives. Yeah, right. PM Modi of India said Trump had nothing whatsoever to do with the cessation of hostilities.

So these free market Republicans are ok with the Orange Master deciding how much profit companies are "entitled to make"?? Of course, if they grease his palm, he'll let them make as much as they want.
What are all the MAGA Congresspeople, RINO's who believe in centrally planned market. By a moron?

Your speech has a familiar ring to it, Randy. Oh yeah, now I remember, that's the way people used to talk about Jews. Disparaging generalities, attribution of imaginary motives, pejorative value judgements.
With all due respect Randy, you are a racist asshole, like the rest of MAGA.

Is it true or not that the DOJ released a transcript that describes Trump flicking & squeezing a girl's nipples, & when it was detected, they quickly redacted Trump's name?
If true, & if the girl is underaged, why is anyone talking of anything else?
PEDO, COVERUP, IMPEACH! all Dems should scream.

No, Slimy Mikey, you're wrong. Not the "radical left"; mostly centrists - regular corporate Democrats plus a couple of disenchanted Republicans.
One doesn't need to be radical to reject a corrupt, neo-Nazi dictatorship.
