When you think about it, Trump does offer one bit of hope and optimism for the USA. We were always told that any American kid could grow up to be president. Trump proved that they don't even have to grow up.

I have to correct Jon Stewart on this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Byg8VZdKK88
He contends that we should stop calling Trump a fascist because what he's doing is mostly legal. That word "mostly" is packing a heavy load. Firing IGs - illegal. Revoking birthright citizenship - unconstitutional. Blocking federal funding - illegal.
Stewart says "we gave Trump his power". Wrong. "We" didn't say he could break the law. "We" didn't install a corrupt hack SCOTUS.
Remember, Jon, Hitler was elected.
Trump wants Greenland for the USA. Trump also suggested exiling repeat violent offenders from the USA. To where? Most likely to Greenland, Trump's Siberia.
At first it would be only the death row types that get sent to his gulags, but soon enough he'd be putting Liz Cheney there, which is the real plan. He'll want it to be outside of US laws like Gitmo. Call it Gritmo.
I saw a car with a bumper sticker from a Christian radio station that said
"Try God"
I thought "Hey, the Romans already did that. Found him guilty too."
@foreverandaday Oh I certainly agree that the Biden admin principals have blood on their hands for enabling Israel's genocide. I'd have liked to have had an arms embargo on Israel long ago.
But when we see how Trump's term plays out as we all predicted, I expect that the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza will wish Harris had won.
I just want to say "Nice work" to the Pro-Palastinian activists who worked to keep Kamala Harris from being elected POTUS. I do hope that you will keep in touch with friends and relatives in the West Bank so that they can also thank you.
Yo, @potus@threads.net Why haven't you released part 2 of the Jack Smith report to the public? I know that Eileen "Loose" Cannon said no, but the Roberts SCOTUS said you don't need to obey the law.
Probably the law says Trump can't shitcan the report, but do you think he's going to obey it?
Just fucking release it! Do one non-feckless thing before you go.
Any bets on how long it takes Trump to claim credit for this TSMC factory in AZ which was built entirely during the Biden admin and funded by the Chips and Science Act which Biden signed into law.
As the damage toll grows in L.A. due to fire driven by the Santa Ana winds, experts are warning that D.C. could be at risk on Jan 20th from a far more dangerous blowhard.
Free speech absolutist Elon Musk tweeted (yes, tweeted) today that anyone who celebrates Trump's sentencing on the pile of shit formerly known as Twitter will be suspended. Nice helpful guy that I am, I've saved Elon the trouble.
It seems that the non-racist portion of MAGA thinking is based on the idea that the USA is economically omnipotent. It's similar to the way that Neocon thinking was based on the idea that the USA was militarily omnipotent. I expect that there will be a similar reality check at some point.
Is Trump floating these insulting nominations to assert his dominance over the Senate?
If Trump were to be forced to back down then the Senate GOP would win and it would be clear that they have power over Trump. My guess is that Trump connot tolerate that and that he'll use this to put the GOP Senators in their place right out of the gate.

RFK Jr. reported to be "disappointed".
I'm so glad I started playing the EWI during Covid. Now I have an instrument to play while Trump burns the country down. I'll be sort of a MIDI version of Nero.
Um, yes. Right. We're #1. Even the Taliban is with us now. Who's next, Kim Jong Un? USA! USA! USA!
Back of the envelope (late Gen Alphas are asking what's an envelope?):
Total US income tax revenue ~= $2.25T
Total US imported goods 2023 ~= $3T
Ergo to replace income tax w/ tariffs you'd need 75% on all goods. Studies show that tariffs tend to be fully passed on to consumers.
Enjoy.
Well, at least my email providers are breathing a sigh of relief. The load from Dem requests for campaign money was crushing them.
