Trump, the long game? Ha ha ha. The only long game he has is remembering somebody who didn't kiss his ass thoroughly enough and must be avenged. He's about as strategic as a festering boil.

(Apologies to the former poster who used an approximation of that appellation.)

Lord, what a fool you are. I'm all in favor of trying to make peace with other countries. The Cold War was no fun. Heck, we were on pretty good footing with Russia before they invaded Ukraine. I'd even be willing to entertain notions of reform for NATO.

The problem is, Putin wants to restore the empire, no matter what he has to do to achieve it. And Trump is a stooge. His first major act on the international stage is to abandon our closest allies and surrender to the dictator leading our longtime rival.

Can you imagine the reaction the Republican Party of 2025 would get from their longtime hero Ronald Reagan?

Such a strange and pointless act, firing people who are trying to keep us healthy. I get that MAGA is sadistic, but many of these cuts are going to hurt everyone, including the ones doing the cutting.

But I can't shake Carville's idea about an "organic" movement - of which the Civil Rights Revolution and Antiwar Movement stand out. Hopefully, something akin may be in the offing. Starts small, making contacts, forging networks, talking, not being afraid.

Carville's instincts have always been good, and I think he's right. I feel it too. People who have been quiet for most of their lives and for most of their time on social media are speaking out. They are calling their members of Congress, they are joining informal groups, they are marching, they are strategizing on goals and tactics.

Look it up.
It's all the rage.

MAGA doesn't believe in disease prevention, Doc. They done got their own immune system, they'll tell you.

"You guys are always Russia, Russia, Russia. Personally I see no problem with attacking Chernobyl and releasing radiation that would kill us all and make life on Earth impossible," say the usual Putin/Trump apologists.

Who in their right mind would buy a Tesla now that Musk has effectively made the brand synonymous with Heil Hitler salutes and the firing of tens of thousands of hard working Americans? Not me, and that is for damn sure.

Tesla still holds some appeal to the -------- class, but for anyone else not on the hate n' revenge circuit, the brand is a hard no. I have made it my goal to never knowingly purchase anything with which Musk or Trump name is associated.

More failures from the geniuses who claim they know what they're doing.

--- this pretend president. Pettiness, dishonesty and grift are all he has.

What you meant to say was that you have to count on others to stand up to people like that.

Face it, you'll never have the guts to do it

Don't take this the wrong way, but GFY.

Clownshack, seriously good commentary on this thread. I think Eberly is trying to understand, but I doubt he'll ever make it.

You have to stand up against people waving swastikas. Our country is a mess right now, and it's because not enough people have stood up already.

The oligarchs and their whores on the right wing are out of control, every day violating the laws and constitution of the United States. They have no interest in adhering to democratic principles, no respect for tradition or separation of powers, and no honor.

Many people are starting to realize the harm being done and are starting to organize. There's going to be a showdown, and it's going to be ugly. I only hope our country can survive.

Cancer is woke.

This is absurd and should be the top story on the front page. So we're just going to move in to Gaza like we own the place and kick out all the Palestinians? I'm sure that's gonna go really well.

I can just imagine all the enraged ex-residents committing to a lifelong vow of vengeance on the occupiers as Trump, Netanyahu and Musk try to rebuild a destroyed piece of "real estate" in the Middle East as a glitzy vacation destination of their own sleazy specifications. Sounds like a long and bitter conflict just got turned up about 10 notches.

This criminal administration is completely out of control and needs to be stopped.

So it's really not up to the individual states after all.

Get this stinking Nzi apartheid cnnt away from America's treasury and out of our business.

Harry Truman: the buck stops here.
Donald Trump: Why are you looking at me? I didn't do anything! It's so unfair the way I'm treated. It's somebody else's fault! Maybe they should've raked the sky. Isn't there a safety spigot? Has anybody tried putting bleach in helicopters? Would a tax cut for the wealthy help?

At least he's out of prison.

Visitor, you're sounding almost reasonable on this thread. :)

Everybody knew he was full of bull droppings when he said it, and sure enough he was.

Oneironaut wants a second helping of steaming bull droppings.

Same reason T is getting rid of the inspectors general. He doesn't want anyone watching his criming too closely. This is why he has been so persistent in his criticism of the media as "fake news."

The master of propaganda keeps saying the media are lying, thereby laying the groundwork for his FCC to come in and make it look official. And yet he and Musk loudly proclaim they are against censorship. It's just a smokescreen meant to fool the rubes.

Leon tells the nazis to get over the holocaust already.

Oh, but Elon was merely flashing a strong-arm gesture of affection! Just a coincidence that it happened to look like a Nazi salute! So many coincidences with him...

Trump doesn't want anybody outside his Circle of Grift keeping tabs on his con game.

She said what needed to be said, despite knowing the reaction she'd get. She spoke without the cruelty that Trump and his allies use every day. She spoke of mercy and empathy, qualities that MAGA lacks. No wonder, then, that the usual suspects here mock her.
