I am genuinely expecting him to see coverage of this giant TACO and immediately walk back the walk back.

“It has come to my attention that Rutte’s promises can never be kept by the very disorganized and very weak EU. Therefore, I hereby announce blah blah…”

Between China deal and yesterday’s speech, he’ll be going after Carney next. There was venom in his little remark earlier.

My money would be on a version of 3) “between a free hand for military bases and mineral rights, you’ll *basically* own Greenland, and if you spit and shake hands right now, I’ll rally the EU to get you the peace prize this year. Whadya say Donnie? We got a deal?”

Europe’s only reply to this should be “and who the fuck are you?”

Trump’s brain rot has reached a level where he has perhaps 20 talking points, and he is only able to talk about each of them in a very specific, connected order. Here, it’s Chicago > dumb mayor > black person > black women in MAGA hats. He never deviates from this neural flow because he can’t.

Related question, asked in good faith: do you think the press (CNN, big papers, etc) is adequately and accurately reporting on this admin? Because their lack of salience should have no bearing on their quality, and I think they are still important cultural signals and symbols.

Please, “please” learn how to read generally. I’m not saying this will be effective. I’m engaging with the argument of the post I replied to by saying that if there is to be an attempt to subvert the election, it won’t come from jackboots at the ballot box, it’ll come in the immediate aftermath.

I think the fuckery will come after the polls close. No need for boots on the ground. They’ll be seeding the idea of massive fraud all day on X, and Trump will lean on Rs to stall and refuse to seat the new Congress. I think it will fail, but he’ll try anyway.

Highly gifted men firing pepper spray at their own feet and slipping on ice like Looney Tunes characters.

Sadly, at this point, there’s no way out but through. Republicans have abandoned American values, so let him put troops on the streets, let them see the people’s anguish, and let them decide if they’re willing to abandon American values too. Everything else is just preamble.

The Trump administration’s plan to make things more affordable is to ask you to eat like a medieval serf after the harvest failed.

It was like sending Roman Roy to sabotage Kendall’s Vaulter plan.

His victim suffered 3 fatal shots to the face at point blank range so ask me if I give a fuck.

I just checked in on that thread, and you’re exactly right. A lot of these guys simply cannot bear criticism or responsibility of any kind.

“Nazi child pornographer” is the only way I want to hear him referred to henceforth.
