We may need to strike the S off TDS and just call it TD or Trump Derangement. The senior editors over at the National Review think taking Greenland by force is not a totally insane idea and Hannity is glossing all the lunacy over by simply posting Don Jr.'s nice video of his trip to the autonomous Denmark territory to make Greenland great again nothing bellicose about it (library word look it up). Meanwhile Germany and France are warning Trump over his threats. Whatever happened to no new wars and working to end the ones we have now? What does the MAGA base think of these latest developments? Trump is either in the pre-Alzheimer's stage dementia or both. There would have to be serious closed-door discussions at this point about possibly invoking the 25th Amendment Section 4 somewhere down the road. Meanwhile Homan is probably thinking we got the buses all lined up for the migrants why are we now switching to geopolitics all of a sudden? He ain't even president yet.
Hell's going on? I'm willing to eat my vote. Maybe they'll make a movie about it someday. "Life Inside the MAGA Cult."
Probably makes Melania Melancholy. Poor Don Jr. checking the place out, probably froze his butt. The dignity of the Presidency, etc.
ReplyDeleteDon't know the legalities and technicalities but you can probably make a case now that Trump is unfit for office BEFORE the Inauguration, that he's too dangerous to lead the Free World.
ReplyDeleteNever has there been this much hype pre-Inauguration. I didn't vote for U.S. territorial expansion. No wonder he emulates Putin.
Conservatives not really addressing his nuttery as I said. If they talk about it at all they say things like Greenland makes sense militarily etc. It's like they're giving his idea the dignity of a conversation, in a way normalizing his lunacy.
ReplyDeleteIn the "Drill, baby drill Department' we ponder -
ReplyDelete"The United States produced more crude oil than any nation at any time, according to our International Energy Statistics, for the past six years in a row. Crude oil production in the United States, including condensate, averaged 12.9 million barrels per day (b/d) in 2023, breaking the previous U.S. and global record of 12.3 million b/d, set in 2019. Average monthly U.S. crude oil production established a monthly record high in December 2023 at more than 13.3 million b/d.
The crude oil production record in the United States in 2023 is unlikely to be broken in any other country in the near term because no other country has reached production capacity of 13.0 million b/d." We actually export a lot. Any effect at the pump will be minimal, no matter what. (Unless you drive a Musk electric car
with 19 cup holders). Welcome to the Big Top Circus.
Also a lot of oil wells in Texas. That's what the show "Dallas" was all about.
DeleteSO MUCH on his plate for Day One. The territorial expansion happens on Day Three or the next week? No time to play golf.
ReplyDeleteNoted below your links two cat photos. Sparkie and Gus? Your top link 'A Shot In the Light' is done by Pamela Grath, whose more active blog
ReplyDeleteis 'Books in Northport' She is the owner of Dog Ears Books in N. MI. I've been commenting for years there too. BB the pest
Charlie and Smokey two ferals. You do get around.
DeleteWatched part of the Carter funeral. Looked really cold and windy.
ReplyDeleteAnd there, all in a row were Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton. Kind of rare.
Apparently Bush didn't shake Trump's hand? I see in one photo Obama talking to Trump. Kind of weird they all attack each other one day and chummy the next. Is it all just shtick?
DeleteMelania looked uncomfortable, Mrs. Pence looked angry. Obama can kid with anyone. I tend to dislike funerals and weddings - make one think too much, ya know?
DeleteIf Trump does turn out to be crazy will you get reinstated?
ReplyDeleteWas I unstated? Those destroying fires in LA look a lot like
DeleteGaza to me. Was it the Santa Anna winds or Netanyahu?
Many celebs had homes destroyed. James Woods. Jennifer Garner. Malibu in danger. Meanwhile the Polish PM says they will arrest Bibi and our own House has voted for sanctions against the ICC. Confusing.
DeleteIt's the ancient Chinese Curse = May you live in interesting times.
