Mr. Trump said that if the democrats are elected he will get impeached. What an incredible invitation democrats!! Don't make a liar out of him for possibly the first time ever.
I've begun buying Professor Timothy Snyder's book "On Tyranny: 20 Lessons from the 20th Century" by the dozen from independent booksellers, and hand them out like Halloween candy to people I have discussions with regarding our descent into Fascism. I always have a copy on me. This, in addition to becoming more involved in organizing my community. I put you in his league, Jay.
Denmark has every historical right to Greenland. I realize not many Americans are aware of Scandinavian history beyond Erik the Red and the Vikings, but my great-grandmother, born in Copenhagen of a father who descended through an aristocratic family (traceable to the 15th century), Denmark had been whaling off Greenland at that time and that family got rich off of it. Denmark used to rule over much of Norway (and parts of Germany) and thus has a long-standing claim to the island. Stephen Miller is full of shit.
There is something else concerning. As the daughter of a West Point graduate who served 30 years in the USAF, that would be the Mark Kelly issue. Read Gen. Hertling's commentary on it here:
The US does not have the ability to hold territory any more. We don't have any boots on the ground in Venezuela. We can defeat conventional forces at will, but we do not have the military or bureaucratic (especially after DOGE gutted USAID and DoS) resources to occupy, control or govern foreign territory. It takes incredible numbers of soldiers, even in this age of modern warfare, to control territory. Trump is a paper tiger.
It’s worth a look and expanding on some of what tRumpf said in his speech to Republicans at the Kennedy Center:
“They say that when you win the presidency you lose the midterm,” President Donald J. Trump said today to House Republicans. “I wish you could explain to me what the hell is going on with the mind of the public because we have the right policy. They don’t. They have a horrible policy. They do stick together. They’re violent, they’re vicious, you know. They’re vicious people.”
“They had the worst policy. How we have to even run against these people—I won’t say cancel the election, they should cancel the election, because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator. Nobody is worse than Obama. And the people that surrounded Biden.”
Obviously, tRumpf suffers from Obama Derangement Syndrome.
How does the President get away with everything with no recriminations? How do we tolerate a dangerous, malicious HHS Secretary Kennedy who will be responsible for the deaths of many? He, too, does what he wants. You would think that a senator and former physician might hold the Secretary to task.
You asked at the end if he will invade another country or return to ketchup throwing….? From my experience of living with a narcissist for close to 40 years, the reality is that he will only go for more violent responses. He will never retreat back to earlier behaviors bc he was never slapped down hard enough to stop him. He will only keep pushing boundaries and go bigger with his violence. He is a cognitively compromised malignant narcissist who refuses to accept “no” and craves negative attention if he can’t get positive responses. Words, actions, bullying, thuggery, greed, megalomania, anger, hatred-will all be magnified exponentially as he continues to decline and lose favor with his maga minions. That’s just my opinion-I’ll be beyond thrilled to be incorrect.
Thx for your ongoing insight, explanation, and encouragement as we navigate these Nazi-infested waters.
Jay, whatever you write, I’m there with you brother. “I’ll have what he’s having.” Our choice is to take 2026 to the mid terms. Nothing else matters. The Jim Acosta show at the National Press Club yesterday was heart warming. Watch it, please. Anyone. It will help sooth.
"...per an analysis by Daniel Dale of CNN, Trump also lied 18 times during his speech about the economy, crime, January 6 and the 2020 election."
I don't watch Trump anymore ever. I've known since the 80s that he's a child molester, and I can't stand the sound of his voice. Besides, pretty much everything he says is a lie, which is why I say, 18 lies in a 90 minute long rant by Trump? I'll bet you $10 that Daniel Dale fell asleep within the first 15 minutes. C'mon, we know Der Trumpenfuehrer can't go two minutes without telling a lie.
Jay, I do love you, but I think you are blind. I do not think that this is survivable. I think that the US is dead. And I believe it deserves to be. Our collective ignorance, arrogance, bigotry, etc., has brought us to this point in history. There never was anything great about America. It was always in our own fucking narcissistic minds. As an American who has lived abroad in Europe now for over 20 years, I can tell you that while the latest military action by tRUMP was shocking to Europeans, they have ALWAYS seen us for what we are. Arrogant, ignorant pricks that think they “own” the world and are entitled to whatever they want. On every single vacation or business trip I’ve made to a country that is not the US, there is always at least one incident with an American that thinks the sun shines out of their ass. I’ve spent 15 years being embarrassed by being American. Now, I’m utterly ashamed and mortified. I never thought I would say Fuck the USA, but here we are!

And if ANY Democrat running for the House and Senate in November DOESN'T use that as a campaign ad, they don't belong in the running.
Time for frn to take a walk around the BLOCK!!
This same bot has posted this line in multiple sites
MAGA or just plain liar or fake

i do that, too, along with another small but potent book called "pranksters vs autocrats".
I'll have to check out "Pranksters Vs Autocrats" Thanks!!
Oh, Jay is the best!
We do the same thing with this book.
I'll look into this book, thanks!
All of his books are invaluable. Also, if you’re interested, he’s on YouTube either on his channel or others.
He’s also on Substack.

Our military's allegiance to the Constitution and not president or party must be upheld.
"[Narrator: If it limps like a dictator, simps like a dictator and pimps like a dictator, it’s a dictator.]"
Even as upset as I am by all of this, you can still crack me up! Thank you Narrator!
It cracked me up too! We need these little commentaries to stay sane.
The US does not have the ability to hold territory any more. We don't have any boots on the ground in Venezuela.

And Venezuela has mountainous jungle terrain. It would be Vietnam FUBAR x10.
Rick Wilson "Venezuela is the Iraq of Vietnams"!
In addition, Venezuela has a long established history of guerrilla insurgency. These people will not be starting from scratch.

Anyone else worried that after the recent blue election wave, he made nice with Elon again so that they can fix the midterms?

Thank you for writing about trump preventing the midterms.
I see so many people worried about that.
Let’s get busy people the midterms are on 10 months away!
💪🏽💙
I don't know how long it took you to come up with just the right way to phrase your "narrator's" commentary, but it's awesome.
Jay, whatever you write, I’m there with you brother. “I’ll have what he’s having.” Our choice is to take 2026 to the mid terms. Nothing else matters. The Jim Acosta show at the National Press Club yesterday was heart warming. Watch it, please. Anyone. It will help sooth.
Is that the one that had several noted guests on it?
Yes. Twelve people including Jim.
Wow, that's a lot. Did it include Mike Fanone and Heather Cox Richardson?
Yup.
Just this second got the email from Fanone with a link.
And then Tapper should have said: "By what right does the US assert control over Greenland?"
Why can't the media call them on their BS??
As I saw on BlueSky:
I've tried the one-week free trial of 2026 and I would like to cancel my subscription.

I did watch his press conference. It was part of another video. He talked about oil constantly.
