Okay I guess I'm not a team player but I agree with some of this. It's not that I'm turning more liberal it's Trump doesn't understand the Constitution or appreciate American values like free speech. Anti-Trump protests planned across the country today. Conservative media will most likely downplay it but you don't have to be a liberal to have concerns about Trump. Also on the Greenland front the Danish PM reminded Trump you can't just annex a country.
100 Days of Chaos.
Trump has a complex personality type. Not sure of the exact clinical diagnosis but besides narcissism a key element is the attitude I Can't Be Wrong. This is not uncommon. You see it in the business world a lot. Companies and corporations might do things that seem stupid to the average employee but they never reevaluate as they go along but just forge ahead anyway even if they eventually drive the company into the ground. I've seen it firsthand. Will never take corporate responsibility. They can't be wrong. It's a funny way to go through Life though with that attitude. At the root of many problems. Maybe this goes a way explaining Trump's popularity in a way he mirrors us. It's frightening in a leader though. He's not the cerebral type but the GeeeZers will always sing his praises.
I see Dr. Phil has made a hard turn to the Right going on ICE campouts with Homan. Do they roast marshmallows together? BTW who the hell is this Laura Loomer chick some unofficial advisor to the president?
"Anti-semitism" being rather loosely defined these days to include legitimate criticism of the State of Israel. Trump Administration now going after perfectly legal people who have all the right paperwork. Pro-Palestinian foreign students on visas now being detained and actively deported for protesting Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza. Over 50,000 Gazans already dead including scores of women and children. Secretary of State Marco Rubio in charge of revoking the student visas over 300 at last count. Homan's goon squads. Tufts U. student arrested or should we say kidnapped by masked ICE agents in the middle of the street in broad daylight. Her crime? Simply writing an op-ed piece in the university newspaper calling on Tufts to divest itself from companies that do business with Israel. The horror stories go on. The banality of evil.
We tend to forget that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes in Gaza. On at least two occasions Netanyahu has cut off all water and electricity into Gaza most recently even well after the ICC issued an arrest warrant for him. He's doing what he wants regardless and is now singing the praises of Trump's crackdown on campus speech and says other governments should follow his example.
This is quite possibly the most shocking episode of our government censoring perfectly valid speech in modern times. Unless Trump fires some people (e.g. Rubio, Homan) it means the downfall of the Trump Administration imo and the end of MAGA. A blot on the history books.
Trump wants to invade Greenland and is thinking about a 3rd term in office. On the first score the military should simply disobey and on the second it's ludicrous. Who does he think he is FDR? You're witnessing a man in his dotage with psychotic tendencies. I think at this stage you can slowly build a case for a potential 25th Amendment Section 4 scenario. Not being dramatic here he just belongs in a ward and not leading the free world.
So far Five Guys haven't changed their name to Five Gays but we do have or had DEI sprinkled throughout society until Trump outlawed them. He's issued executive orders on everything that annoys him and has even given orders on statues and monuments. He's taken over the Smithsonian and Kennedy Center why I don't know. Maybe he wants to hold an awards ceremony for himself. He's issued tariffs on cars but has said to car makers don't pass the added cost onto prospective car buyers. Ok no prob DUH. Nothing yet about the price of eggs or Fancy Feast. No real bread and butter issues to date just side issues and strange personal obsessions. BTW can we still honor the memory of Sidney Poitier?
It's not controversial, many people could probably get behind the idea and it's already a U.S. territory. Mexico - If Mexico became a part of the United States the illegal Mexicans crossing over would no longer be illegal but would simply be crossing state lines. Problem solved or at least half the problem anyway. Watching OAN last night and OAN bemoaning we lost that expansionist spirit where did it go? Oh yes PR doesn't have any of them rare earth minerals and PR and Mexico apparently have no strategic military importance but just sayin'. Sure China and Putin are vying for influence in the Artic but Puerto Rico could be an easy pickup if expansionism is your thing. It could be a historic part of your legacy if nothing else so why are Trump and Vance bullying the Greenlanders? We already have a military base there and you're pissing off NATO. In the meantime folks be wondering whatever happened to lowering the price of groceries?
