Trump's Second Term

[dudalb]

Here is the thing....

He might actually have a point. Europe may be making trade deals that help fund the same country that is waging war in Ukraine. (I also think the Nordsteam pipeline was rather silly, bringing in Russian natural gas to germany.)

If it were any other administration making this criticism, it would be worth listening to. But since it is coming from the Trump administration (people who have been overtly friendly to Putin, and who seem intent on maintaining oil dependance with their "drill baby drill" attitude), it is hard to take them seriously.

THIS. Some of criticism aimed at Europe I ageee with. I agree with the NATO commander who said if they are serious about going indepdent of the US in defense, they are going have to spend a hell of a lot more then they are. But Trump is so full of BS that he can be safely ignored.

if being ignored was his greatest fear, he's done a pretty job of insulating himself from ever having to experience it

Nero? Caligula?

Elagabalus.

Sadly, I think that partly explains some of his behaviour.

But we must never say that he's mentally ill. Because that needs lots of evidence going back years. And you have to be a psychiatrist who's interviewed him, whereupon you are bound by patient confidentiality and must never say that anyway.

Which judge signed to warrant and what evidence did they provide to support the search?

"We don't need no stinkin' evidence!"

I've not verified it, but saw it claimed that Abraham Lincoln said that watching Melania was the worst experience he's had in a theatre.

And even at the time much of the media, regardless of political alignment seemed inclined to give Trump's cognitive decline a pass while leaping on any slip Biden made.

I think they're really going to miss him him when he finally passes.

Trump: If I nominate Ted Cruz for the Supreme Court, the Democrats will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out. And the Republicans will vote for him because they want to get him the hell out, too

Lyin' Ted. His wife is ugly and his Daddy killed JFK.

The MELANIA trailer's comments are 99.99% people absolutely destroying the movie.

I am so stealing that line.

Some things boycott themselves.

Politics aside, it is just plain bad.

Unless the patient poses an imminent threat of harm to himself or others. . . .
