Yes, we are here. Pax Americana is no longer the stabilizing force of rules and laws. We have instead the emperor who would rule by fiat and take as he pleases. Or not. I can’t say what will happen in Davos. But I can imagine when the obscenely rich upon hearing Trump’s grandiose vision respond: “You are here because of us. And, we are here because the post WWII order you threaten. Persist and we end your “empire” quickly.”
Power may be the iron rule of the world per Stephan “Nosferatu” Miller. The other, the world is bigger than any one country. True with Athens in 430 BCE. True in Germany, WWII. As I write, new economic relationships sans the USA are being forged. No doubt ex parte military agreement are in discussion.
In America, the revulsion swells. The picture of a naturalized citizen taken from his home without warrant or compassion (a f’g blanket and crocs is sub freezing weather?) is an offense to real Americans. The disdain shown post Renee Good’s shooting death is affront to our decency. It cannot stand.
Remove Trump by resignation, 25th Amendment, or impeachment.
Trump’s obvious decline only makes him more impulsive & therefore very dangerous. He should be removed from office via the 25th. Unfortunately, the chances for that are less than my winning a lottery ticket. If I were to buy one.
A consequence of what Mary describes so well: the dollar is tanking as the world absorbs the manifest and worsening insanity of our President. Americans will now pay more for less, and many common investments will continue to lose value.
Dire warnings of continued chaos abound today. As if any of this was unforeseeable.
While the dollar and trust it once represented slides to new lows, the billions in tax cuts and cuts to programs that helped Americans are not lowering federal spending or the nation’s appalling debt - instead, the government is recklessly printing money and spending billions on DHS and ICE. Their budgets dominate current federal spending, and the illegal violence their masked thugs unleash on those with no criminal record, including citizens, children and anyone peacefully exercising First Amendment rights, is set to spread across America.
Even Hitler’s Gestapo didn’t ramp up so quickly.
Where are Congressional Republicans - with the power to stop this - as our nation’s decline accelerates on multiple fronts? Cowardly and complicit. Dems aren’t much better. Nor are European leaders.
History’s unambiguous lesson is: don’t appease psychopathic tyrants; their inner demons are insatiable.
Years ago I remember Trump said his philosophy is that there are sheep and wolves. He said he is a wolf. The republicans are sheep. If they wander he attacks.
All the Democrats in both chambers must get active in some one-on-one conversations to persuade enough GOP to put an end to this. Trump is clearly seriously declining. What’s to stop him from ordering the Minnesota MAGESGAPTO to attack Greenland or decide to use a nuke?
The "Board if Peace" is clearly designed to grant Trump's greatest fever dream and make him King of the World.
He and only he decides who gets to join the BoP, only sycophants need apply. No decision affecting the world is made without his approval. The ultimate dictator.
Please US sane people, deluge your representatives with demands that they do the right thing for once and eject the addled monster who is walking the world over a cliff.
“ICE agents broke into the home of ChongLy “Scott” Thao, a 56-year-old Hmong American citizen who has lived in the United States since childhood and became a citizen in 1991. They entered without a warrant, pointed guns at his family, handcuffed him in front of his five-year-old grandson, and dragged him outside into 14-degree weather wearing only boxer shorts and Crocs.”
No mention of trump's food taster while in Davos. He's gotta have one. Where's that poison pooten uses? My incredulity grows hourly. Time to work in garden and fill bird feeders.
Things not going well in Davos I hear…being shunned , openly ( TY🫶)
Being booed at the stadium …loudly
I was on my way to protest at our Capitol and a stupid move caused my dog to fall out of the side by side…all plans cancelled and a long stretch of pampering ahead but no bones broke - fingers crossed , hard for a 15 y.o. pooch. Doggie prayers please.

Tiny edit comment - did you mean "Roday" and not "Today"?
If Donald Trump were the CEO of an American Corporation, the board would dump him.
If Donald Trump were a family member, you would get him help. Serious help.
SOMEONE needs take away the car keys before it’s too late…
and here's how to do it:
