Trump's Second Term

It is when the president the voters vote for, instituting policies the voters want that goes against the Constitution.

That's not what a coup means. A coup isn't just any bad thing that government does. It's something much more specific.

The Constitution is the Law of the Land. Not the voters.

True enough. But to the extent that the constitution clashes with voters, it's undemocratic. I'm OK with it being a bit undemocratic, and it's a bit undemocratic by design not accident, but recognize what it is. And again, appealing to violations of the constitution (which you haven't actually demonstrated) still don't automatically constitute a "coup". That word has a meaning, and the meaning does not fit what's happening in the US.

You're very argument is what is Orwellian.

"Your". It's the possessive, not the contraction. And you got "Orwellian" wrong too.
 
'Appropriate and unambiguous': White House defends Trump over middle-finger gesture at heckler

The White House said: "A lunatic was wildly screaming expletives in a complete fit of rage, and the President gave an appropriate and unambiguous response."

The heckler has been suspended by Ford, the United Auto Workers union told the BBC's US partner, CBS News.

A Ford spokesperson told CBS: "One of our core values is respect and we don't condone anyone saying anything inappropriate like that within our facilities."

So even Ford is buying into the "Why did you make the President do that?" ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ that legacy media is doing. Neat.

This past week, at the request of the Department of War, the Department of Justice and FBI executed a search warrant at the home of a Washington Post journalist who was obtaining and reporting classified and illegally leaked information from a Pentagon contractor. The leaker is currently behind bars. I am proud to work alongside Secretary Hegseth on this effort. The Trump Administration will not tolerate illegal leaks of classified information that, when reported, pose a grave risk to our Nation’s national security and the brave men and women who are serving our country

There, I fixed it for you. I think everyone knew what you actually meant, but I just wanted to help clarify in case someone didn't know you or wasn't familiar with your hypocritical flip flopping. Most are familiar with your "it's ok if the GOP does it but if the Dems do anything even in the general proximity of what I (zigg) interpret from the Constitution then I'm going to create 3-4 pages of semantic bickering", but again, I'm just trying to help others. That's my problem, I care too much.

Does she know that Hegseth, personally, leaked classified information? Including, but not limited to, adding his ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ wife to a group chat about military strikes.

I'm sure that Zigg is going to be absolutely LIVID that this is happening. Just kidding, he'll be all "what should I complain about? The leaks shouldn't happen" or whatever other dumb ◊◊◊◊ that right wing media has told him and theprestige to say today.

Trump to be President of US, Venezuela and Iran as well as King of Greenland. He will also be dead in a year, very likely.

Sorry, but I think that belongs in the wishful thinking department.
And if it did happen we would still have Vance to deal with.
Anybody who at this stage thinks thre is going to be some peaceful end to this, is living in fantasy land.

And if all else fails, there's always whataboutisms to fall back on.
 
NATO needs to deploy troops to defend the territory of a NATO member against a NATO member.
Troops and money that could have been used to deter Russia.
That is the situation Trump created.

That US voters voted for someone that thrashes their own country is one thing, the rest of the world can survive the economic hit of the US economy collapsing.
But the man wants the world to burn just to admire the fire.

THAT is what you voted for Trump supporters. YOU are responsible for the potential of a nuclear war and the rapid deterioration of law and order in the world. And your idiocy hurts the rest of the world. I hope the pain will be worse in the US.
 
Democrats fault the files aren't released

.@PabloReports: What’s your message to the American people who are waiting for the other 99% of the Epstein files?

Burchett: Tens of thousands have already been released. When they release these files, the Democrats ask to slow it down. They want more stuff redacted
