I listen quite well, support Ukraine, co-founded Reblade, used to run quite long distances and I do my best to reflect, correct my mistakes and grow as a person. I have Viking and Neanderthal ancestors and am a father of four daughters.
Are we finally hitting critical mass on the realization that Trump is the 21st-century replica of HCA’s "The Emperor’s New Clothes"?

​This clip from October 2025 and the spectacle at Davos are just examples of a sentiment reinforced daily by Trump's outlier behaviour.

We easily see the threads.
The leaders of Albania & Azerbaijan were filmed mocking US Trump for claiming he ended a war between the 2 countries, even though they have never fought each other.

The world thinks that the occupant is a joke.
He’s destroying our country. Congress must act.

We deserve every shitty thing we’re going through because we let The Stupids outvote the Lazies. Sitting on our asses on Election Day completely fucked us, as a nation.

The administration’s arguments that offshore wind farms present a national security risk failed to convince judges in three separate courts.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

An honest discussion on this, though you can't really have one about something so cynical and twisted, is that the cuts DOGE and Trump made to the IRS enforcement will cost taxpayers more than any alleged cuts, likely even including the gutting of Medicaid and food stamps.

I don’t think the law passed by Congress said that DOJ has to release less than 1% of the materials by Dec 19.

Exactly. The new U.S. National Security Strategy is much worse for Europe than most people had imagined. Europe is described as a bigger threat than both China and Russia, and they outline the need for regime change in Western European countries as part of a civilizational struggle.
I assumed the NSS would just ignore/deprioritize Europe (It did that on defense/NATO).

But the actual message was: Europe matters to us, we must save it from itself, the EU and its wokeness. Thus, the USG is going all in on foreign interference to help the far-right win a civilizational war.
