Iran, if you’re listening…

I think it’s less about what he’s capable of doing and more about what he signifies.
Electing an openly socialist mayor to one of the biggest cities in the country is a huge step, one that could gain momentum and they definitely do not want more of that happening, especially in the house and Senate.
They think if they nip it in the bud now they may be able to get ahead of it, but I think they fail to realize they might make a political martyr out of him instead.

I wonder if he feels the same buyer’s remorse about Trump as Tesla owners do about his cars.

I still vividly remember them holding back Bernie and pushing Hillary in 2016.

Good point.
Let’s tie it to the object itself then rather than a physical location. Look at any object and see it’s past as far back as you want.
Pick a brick somewhere in the middle and keep going back until the bricks past shows it getting stacked.
Would be pretty cool for things found in antique stores.

But when they don’t point it out everyone bitches and says “why won’t they call them out on it!!”

See backwards in time from the exact location I’m standing.
How did the Egyptians build the pyramids?
I’ll just visit Egypt and take a look back in time and see.

If the US leaves NATO, Europe would lose a lot of support.

If the US stays in NATO, they would refuse to support them anyway and could use their veto power to stop any potential action.

If they’re not going to have the support of the US military either way, and the US staying in NATO could prevent the organization from taking any action at all, it may be in the best interest of Europe for the US to leave NATO so they can’t cripple it from within.

reveal concerns that the US faces a crisis

I’m so tired of these half baked headlines.
The US has been in a crisis for A FUCKING DECADE at this point.

No, that implies Trump is doing any kind of governing whatsoever.
He’s just there for his signature.

Outrage generates clicks, clicks generate revenue.
We’re both here because we’re disgusted by the headline so it obviously works.

Looks like Trump isn’t the only Chicken.

You can only drop something so many times before it actually breaks, and we never really fixed the cracks caused by the civil war.
Reconstruction ended early after Johnson took office and as a result we didn’t end segregation in the south until a century after the war ended.
There are people alive now who still remember segregation and some of them liked it that way. And now they’re empowered, both metaphorically and literally, thanks to the gerontocracy we’ve created.
We’re going to tear ourselves apart trying to undo 60 years of progress over the next 4 years.
I feel like if we pull through this as an intact nation it’s not going to be recognizable as the nation we grew up in until long after we’re all gone. It’s going to take generations to clean up this mess.

Trump fawns over Kim so hard I wouldn’t be surprised if he just provides nukes to NK if Kim asks him nicely.

That sounds like something he would do on July 4th

“1 death is a tragedy, 1 million deaths is a statistic”

that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.

If he didn’t want soldiers that were excited to be there, then why did he have them screened for political association to make sure they were his supporters?

Absolutely not.
I’ll hate the voter and the Homunculus.
Without him the trash would still be hiding in the woodwork.

As an American, it would be a really good idea to temporarily kick the US out and make it the G6. We have absolutely no business driving policy with Trump at the wheel.

We also have no business being in NATO at the moment either.

The time for 'strongly worded letters" was over the day they stormed the Capitol.
