Indubitably he's an irredeemable piece of shit. He has been his entire life. But what makes him dangerous are all the sycophants and stooges who enable him to perform his grifts and unconstitutional actions. Fuck all those republican elected officials everywhere, especially in Congress, and all of those in his evil regime who are shitting on the Constitution. I hope they all get what they deserve.
You know the thing is, still being a part of NATO and all, the world is witnessing America being taken over by a dictator and an oligarch from a foreign country. Under normal circumstances, countries in NATO would Unite. And rally for us. As we did against Hitler. Pond scum of the stinkiest kind runs our country. From the bog of stench.
Well, we united against Hitler, finally, after he finally started doing military things (actually, we didn't lift an isolationist, often-Nazi-inspiring finger to help out until his ally, Japan, attacked us, then we declared -- sorry, CONGRESS declared [they're the only ones who can] -- war on them, then he declared war on us for declaring war on his ally).
Probably NATO and all the rest of the alliances we're in (still? :-/) would start getting involved militarily, if/when we actually do start something like that against everyone else (or even just Greenland and Canada). :-/
Right you are Nancy I have seen video of the rallies there in Madison Square Garden with all the flag waving Nazi American people, very fine people I assume. Yikes huh?
Dear and glorious God & Kid, this is all just how dictators, tyrants and all-around evil assholes parade their "greatness" for all to see. While hideously vain and illegal, the point of most of the barely intelligible and toxic manure that dribbles from his mouth is nothing more than expensive lies and nonsense, the sole purpose of which is to frighten, outrage and distract us from both what is really going on and from any meaningful discussion and action that could turn it around and help us create the country we really want. We the People and the media need, more than ever, to pay only the necessary attention to what Trump et al are doing and not to his antics. Time to decide who we really are and do the work we need to do in order to create the worlds, private and collective, in which we really want to live. And so many of us, from all walks, need to stop talking and acting as if the Whiny Baby Party has already won and pay attention to the facts, such as his/their record number of legal losses. And I make the following request to our neighbors to the north and south - and to all who still wish us well. Please never stop reminding us of who we really are and never give us a pass on our governments bad behavior. True friends remind each other of what matters and is true by holding up an honest mirror.
Samantha, you nailed it. tRump is intentionally dominating the news cycle by accepting a gift from a terrorist nation, so as to distract us from the fact that his illegal tariff policies are unraveling our economy. He has made a mess with his sloppy tariff policies and now doesn't see an easy way out. It's the classic "look here, not there" ploy. Expect more bullshit antics from him to distract the media from how he is ruining our economy.
My hope is that more and more of us will recognize that this is what's happening in time to start healing the damage and get serious about using this episode to create a stronger and more inclusive democracy. I think that efforts to just make it all normal again will fail because the same weaknesses that allowed a Trump and his repubs to take control in the first place will still be there. So...how do we get a conversation like this out onto the national stage? Legacy media are not much help, especially with their sane washing of Trump and implied acceptance of his kingship by accepting so many of his edicts as legal. I live in the Pacific Northwest and sometimes fantasize about Ecotopia and starting fresh. :) Perhaps, if Trump drives everything further into the ground, we will create it.
And he has the gall to say the Democrats are "crooked" for criticizing this, rather than this whole transaction being more crooked than Lombard Street in San Francisco. Projection 101 strikes again!
And after the couple of years that it will take for the plane to be inspected and upgraded - further delaying the production of the replacements for the current Air Force 1, it still won't be as good. Among other things, it won't have the in-flight refueling capability.
I think the best part is that Qatar is not a friend of the USA, they side with our enemies. They are friendly with Iran, among others. He wants to take a half-billion dollar gift from an enemy nation. Great optics!
This is the beautiful thing. $400,000,000 plane - and it'll cost millions and a couple of years for it to be taken apart, checked for bugs and boobytraps, upgraded, certified, and put back together. And this will further delay the production of the two jets that are supposed to replace the current AF1 and 2.
The Supreme Court has no idea how to follow the Constitution. Their recent ruling that a president cannot be prosecuted for criminal acts while in office was the absolute worst precedent EVER.
Trump and Republicans are pushing the limits beyond anything we have ever witnessed.
At least with Nixon, the republicans enforced constitutional norms -
stood up to Nixon and the “I am not a criminal” President resigned.
Their Constitution stood, and America showed its strength.
If the Citizen United ruling had been in place during Nixon's time allowing for an untold vast amount of dark money to flow to campaigns, you bet that the Republicans in congress would have defended and protected Nixon. As it were, they were less beholden to mega donors and therefore more inclined to act independently. For more background on this, I recommend listening to The Master Plan podcast detailing how the Republicans methodically over decades chipped away at campaign finance laws.
So folks, what do you think will be in that library? A copy of The Art of the Deal, a pile of Executive Orders and the few papers he didn’t manage to flush down his toilet. The man does not read if it’s not on social media. And why would a library foundation need a 747? He is such a jerk.
Love quoting your Truth God - "That's the actual Constitution which Trump swore to uphold at the Inauguration, and then last week said that he didn’t know if he had to do that." AND "The Repukes are World Class Criminals!!! GFY (God’s answer to MAGA)." AND THE MOST ESSENTIAL: "THOU SHALT UNITE TO LAUNCH A GENERAL STRIKE AND SHUT THIS BROKEN SOCIETY DOWN UNTIL THIS DAMN DICTATOR IS DEPOSED!" The whole administration has to go - every single unqualified wine swilling Jeannine Pirro and Hegseth to ultra evil reincarnation of Rudolf Hess - aka Stephen Miller!
I believe he is going to the Middle East to check on the businesses that Kushner, Eric and Jr along with someone named Steven (not Miller), have been working on for a couple of years. Real Estate 9 new buildings and also crypto. Maybe Gaza?Why else would he go? Seriously.

He is totally about projection. Accuses others of being what he truly is.
Every accusation is a confession. :)
(I really wanna get that on a t-shirt someday... ;-D)

Do you think that they will wait to use it until after he has it inspected for espionage bugs etc? HELL NO - he's using it this weekend.
Marie Antoinette lost her head for less FFS
I've had enough "cake," thankyouverymuch.
I hope Qatar has perfected the crash feature.........

Ridiculously average behavior for this group of low-life’s…
Shocking?
Nope, not at all…
Will anyone do anything about it?
Obviously not, since we have a convicted felon as our President…
Am I missing something?
🤔
You could add a supine Congress.

Nixon's exact words were "I am not a crook."

47 will never be sated...think about that!
And as long as people keep giving this bully what he wants in terms of concessions, he'll never stop threatening people with them. X-P
Standing up to bullies works. :)

My hate for him just grows and grows.
Is Melania getting a Gulfstream G700 a problem? Only seems fair.
