I know that countries are dependent on the USA, but I will never understand how the heads of state don't get up and leave, and I mean the whole assembly.

Our household think tank has two possible contributions to the lower violent crime rate statistic: 1. Our population is aging, less youthful violence 2. The younger violent criminals have all been employed by ICE and now their violence is not seen as criminal.

Add to that, targeted communities are no longer reporting crime b/c they are afraid of police.

EXCELLENT point, Chris!

Ugh, Mary! Thank you for hearing the big bigoted blowhard out. Your stomach is stronger than mine.

My thanks to NPR today for showing solidarity, by not playing -any- of the audio. I did hear a short clip on BBC, it wasn't flattering. (that boastful bullock deserves no praise)

I haven't read through the post yet, but he was lured into a war with Netanyahu because he wants to blow things up; now he can't control either Israel nor Iran, has destroyed the world economy, oil and fertilizer supplies, put a younger, more radical government in place, caused all of our bases to be attacked and many to be damaged and the host countries to reject the USA in their own defense, he's essentially taken us out of NATO and is the only country not to adopt the accurate global map instead of the Mercator Projection, has an alcoholic television host over the military firing all the experienced leadership and concealing our casualties while arranging testosterone injections instead of replenishing the dwindling armaments, and bored with the war they claim isn't a war, destroying the national capital putting up vanity projects. He's doing what bin Laden and Putin always aimed to accomplish.

Surely these people have something better to do than listen to donboy babble, I skimmed the article and could barely stand it. He needs to be treated as a pariah until he is gone, there is nothing normal about anything he does or says and treating the situation as normal is playing right into his hands.

Yesterday I watched the Danish in their Congress laughing so hard they could not speak when subject of trump's desire for Nobel Peace Prize came up. I'd seen it before and watched it 3-4 times as I, too, laughed oh so hard.

My mother used to say.. "the first liar does not stand a chance...". this is especially true if the first liar is the same person as the second one (and third... and so on) especially in the day of video, audio, and instant circulation around the world. yet somehow he manages to deliver contradictory messages and his cult does not notice, he gets to make his own rhetorical history disappear and they do not notice. the parallels to Germany in the 1930s are uncanny and frightening. he has a self-centered, egotistical, selfish view of the world, and his understanding of international relations, international finance and economics, and international conflict is on par with a fourth grader. he is surrounded by incompetent people, put in place because they hang on his every word. behind the curtain are a small number of dangerously smart psychopaths who pull his strings either by promises of wealth or stroking his ego. For all our warts, the US commanded respect and had strong relationships with a great number of nations, from which our strength came. now we are feared for the damage we are causing around the world and shunned for our fickleness, ego and stupidity... Hundreds of thousands of Americans, possibly millions of Americans see all this and are horrified. we need to be sure that the people we put into power in November 2026 and November 2028 have the independence and the intestinal fortitude to reverse these sins and more importantly institute real change so we can never come this close to collapse again

One of the anti-perks of being a Head of State..., you have to experience Trump in 3D.

He’s P.T. Barnum and Ed Sullivan combined, minus the charm and the business acumen.

His exchange with CNN was hilarious. He lives and dies by press coverage......

I actually don't believe any of the stats that come out of the government regarding the economy, etc. because all those institutions have been messed with by Trump.
