Trump's Second Term

I wonder when the Nazis will just come out and say that they support the destruction of democracy instead of trying to convince us that they don't support it. It's really pathetic. Be a proud Nazi, not a shameful one.

yeah that’s the weird thing about the nazis. they celebrate and defend the worst stuff on behalf of the worst people, get super evasive about their own opinions, then get super mad when you notice

not saying that everyone who does that is a nazi if anyone gets super mad about it. but some of the people doing it are nazis.

and i know what a nazi is too by the way. so the concerned act about how we don’t want to water down the term by misapplying it due to some technicality could be saved. i know who i’m talking about, we all do.

Trump: President Putin wants to have peace now. And that's good. And he didn't want to have peace with Biden. You tell me why that is?

Reporter: Do you future in which Ukraine returns to its pre-2014 borders?

Trump: It certainly would seem to be unlikely. They took a lot of land and they fought for that land.

Reporter: The borders and the lack of NATO membership, ultimately these are both demands Russia has made. Is there not a danger of handing Russia a win?

Trump: Well I think if you look at the war, the way the war is going, you'll have to make your own determination

Reporter: Would you support Zelensky ceding territory to end the war?

Trump: He's gonna have to do what he has to do. But his poll numbers aren't particularly great to put it mildly.

Reporter: Do you view Ukraine as an equal member of this peace process?

Trump: Ummmm ... it's an interesting question. I think they have to make peace. That was not a good war to go into.

Reporter: Aren't you squeezing out President Zelensky from this process?

Trump: No, I don't think so, as long as he's there. But at some point you're gonna have to have elections too. You're gonna have to have an election.

he seems to be implying the strategy is to rig an election to depose zelensky
 
Levitt on why AP were thrown out.

Unless of course its Trump's lies, then that's totally fine.

Yeah go full appeasement with the Russians, that's a policy that always works so well. I would compare Trump to Chamberlain, but Chamberlain had a working knowledge of economics.

Plus, Chamberlain and the majority of the population had been through the horrors of WW1 less than 20 years previously and was acting in good faith.

Not sure if it was the same press conference or not, but she also trumpeted (!) "receipts" that supposedly proved instances of fraud in governmental operations found by Musk but were actually, by her own admission, really just examples of things that were "against the president's policies and America first agenda." So here we are- "lies" and "fraud" are no longer things that are defined by any reference to truth or honesty, but nakedly by whether they align with an agenda.

Not an answer to the question. Just more of his verbal diarrhea.

Zelensky's latest poll number show an approval rating between 50-53%. Trump's latest Economist/YouGov approval rating is 46%.

Zelensky can take a note out of Trump's playbook and just tell the Ukrainians they'll "never have to vote again".
 
Electronic warfare fighter jet crashed in the sea outside San Diego. The pilots ejected and were rescued by a fishing vessel.
No idea what the cause, of course, but I instinctively suspect Drumpf's policies for some reason (while he's going to blame whatever is most convenient to him).

In other news, I'm hearing Internet chatter there's a general strike planned for March 15?

No one outside of MAGA morons calls it that. It's as stupid as calling French fries "freedom fries".

To the best of my knowledge, Chamberlain also ran a massive rearmament program while trying to come to an agreement with Hitler. Drumpf is just a puppet wagging his tail for Daddy putin.

It's a useful gesture for identifying who is sufficiently sycophantic to the king. Next it'll be burning a pinch of incense to the imperial cult, and throwing those who refuse to the lions.

Elon Musk is failing to cut American spending​

DOGE has so far disrupted everything in government bar the deficit​

Every working day the Treasury publishes a statement detailing withdrawals of cash from its primary deposit account, providing the best high-frequency indicator of government spending. Since Donald Trump took office a little more than three weeks ago, outlays have averaged $30bn a day. Compare that with the same period last year under Joe Biden: federal spending back then came to about $26bn a day. Outflows from the Treasury have actually risen since January 28th, when Mr Musk first claimed his “Department of Government Efficiency”, or DOGE, was saving the federal government $1bn a day. Looking at the bigger picture, the government’s spending trajectory in the current fiscal year, which began in October, basically resembles that of the past two years (see chart).

Well, I don't know how true this is, but I've seen articles alleging that Tesla owners are being targeted for damage to theirs if they don't sell or get rid of them. Personally, I don't care for the company because of Musk, but that's still a horrible thing to do to the owners.

I agree. We have a good friend who has a Tesla and he's as blue a Democrat as you can get. He detests Trump.

Now, now, let's not confuse the issue with facts and reality. Not that MAGA have even a nodding acquaintance with either.
