The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.

If the U.S. military is given direct orders to seize Greenland—pull down another nation’s flag, and then claim the ground in the name of the United States—every senior commander has a moral obligation to refuse to accept or support such a command.

Alt headline: Political fight escalates as Trump's DOJ targets Walz & Frey. No evidence that Minnesota leaders obstructed ICE or engaged in terrorism.
These headlines ⤵️ are stenography, not journalism. The NYT waits until the 10th graph to add a fact check to the Trump spin. Ugh 1/

Also from the article: Katie wrote "An AI that wrongly judges an outcome is a threat to the future of nation and world."
Crazy, since the entire administration judged an outcome wrongly hours before the truth was known, and the right (which includes Katie) praised that and is still parroting it.

New Republic: Fascist parasite Katie Miller rages that ChatGPT is “dangerously woke” after it was asked who was responsible for the Good murder:
“ICE agents escalated a chaotic stop, gave conflicting commands, and fired as the woman tried to leave…The responsibility lies with the [ICE] agent.

The elections that take place while he's in power are going to be beyond chaotic.
BIG FLAG: Trump said during his interview with The New York Times that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines in swing states after his loss in the 2020 election.
He doubted whether the Guard was "sophisticated enough" to carry out the order effectively.

So where's the reporting on the horrific and prevalent sex and child trafficking in Minnesota? Surely there are local investigative reporters on that beat.
Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

Jesus Christ. Every Sunday host should be asking every Republican if they think Tim Walz murdered Melissa Hortman. And when they say no, ask what it says about this president that he’s amplifying this garbage.

Still in awe of the people of Chicago. Trump and his party spent so much time trying to get them to give him some sliver of fake reason to do the insurrection act, and there was so much discipline from the Chicago area: sustained resistance, while not giving trump what he wanted

The math isn't mathing here.
Epstein was confirmed in 2023 to have sent Nassar a card just before he died, which card was returned undelivered.
Now DOJ, following a *120-minute investigation*, says someone knew about the letter *at the time* and replaced it with a forgery. WTF?

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.
Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Interesting to consider that if you were to go and deface the Kennedy center by removing Trump’s name, you’d be arrested and charged with a crime, but your act would be no more unlawful than what they’re doing right now.
