Dan’s article was straight to the point. Trump’s techbros want Greenland’s rare earth minerals, sovereignty be damned. Trump”s letter shows everyone he is a superannuated spoilt brat with the impatience of a toddler. It is both embarrassing and dangerous for him to be threatening war because the Nobel committee would not indulge Trump and his lies.

Larry, your correct on one point, the timeline of the Ukraine war. Putin plays Trump like a fine fiddle, just like Trump plays his MAGA cultist. Things you didn’t mention that Obama & Biden never did that Trump did do is an insurrection on the capitol of the United States and a coup, Trump is a 34 time felon, Biden & Obama are not, other things Biden and Obama aren’t to Trump, sexual predator, lying every time he opens his mouth, corrupt and continues to make himself rich at the country’s expense, stupidest president of all time. Sticking his name on everything because he’s a psychopathic narcissist, killing innocent Americans. Surprised to see Biden or Obama in the Epstein files , Trump is, Biden and Obama never invaded a country for its oil ( Venezuela), they never bankrupted 4 casinos, never been impeached twice, understood how tariffs work and taxed the people of America, so I guess the one thing Trump did was come into office after Ukraine was invaded, and also wrote and received love letters from N. K, Kim which neither of Biden nor Obama got. So best of luck with your hero who wants to dismantle NATO, like he did the DOJ and other important agencies that were instituted to protect this country. And yes, I did graduate 2nd grade.

This semantically butchered missive further attests to the appalling extent of this mutant’s cognitive impairment.

An appalling indictment of the Wharton School!

I think it's time we stopped referring to NATO as "allies". Allies are those countries you can be relied on to help defend if the need arises. I have absolutely no faith that iDJiT would honor that commitment without a payoff -- payable to him personally. This is how he operates. Alliances mean about as much to him as contracts with the tradespeople who fit up his properties. If he doesn't feel like honoring the contract, he simply doesn't. And if they take him to court, he can afford to keep them tied up in litigation until they quit out of frustration, exhaustion or bankruptcy. The smart ones know better than to take a job from him ever again. And if they do, they get their money in cash and up front before work ever begins.

In his first occupation of the Oval, he hadn't yet realized that Congress would never have the testicular fortitude to oppose him, and even then he did pretty much as he pleased. But now? I never imagined in my long life that one day I would feel shame at being American. But here we are. And expecting on the dickless wonders in Congress to rein him in requires a level of naivety so vast it has its own gravity.

iDJiT hasn't just ruined America's reputation, he's left it friendless in an unfriendly world and shattered relationships that took decades if not centuries to forge. All in the pursuit of his thin skinned need for revenge and his desperate longing for love and admiration he will never have except from the unwashed slack jaws of the MAGA cult, which he secretly despises. He's trying to be Dom Perignon, when the best he'll ever be is Colt 45.

I guess you do not recall LBJ who got us into the VN War after saying on the campaign trail:

" I will Never send American Boys 10,000 miles away to fight a war that Asian Boys should fight for themselves". How did that work out?

The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution was approved by the ignorant and gutless House of Reps by a vote of 435 to 0. The Senate approved 98--2.. Talk about not having testicular fortitude. Now we even trade with that commie government. What was the purpose of that war? To kill off my generation????

Let me know when Trump does anything even 5% as Bad as LBJ did.

If a shitter full of classified documents and reincarnating the Brownshirts isn’t good enough for you, I guess we’ll have to wait for the Epstein Files™ that Trump campaigned on releasing but now wants to keep on the downlow because “my friends will get hurt!”. Which I know is bullshit, because the only person Trump worries about getting hurt is Trump.

I got my own beefs with LBJ (it was my generation too) but we had a way out of Vietnam until Nixon convinced Nyguen that he’d give him a better deal. He sabotaged a peace deal to win an election. Spare me.

James Did You serve in the U.S. military back then? LBJ never had a way out of VN. Neither did Nixon. LBJ did not want to be seen as Losing VN---He only cared about Himself.. Nixon was No Better. Spare me about any Peace deal by either LBJ or Nixon. For certain Trump would never get our country in a NO Win VN waste of lives for no reason situation. I ask you again to Let me know when Trump does anything even 5% as Bad as LBJ and Tricky Dicky did?

By the way, there were two ways out of VN, One was to pack up and leave in 65, the other was to allow the U.S. Military to WIN the war Quickly. Either would have been preferable to any plan either LBJ or Peace Plan Nixon had. Trump has been far superior to either of those two Ignorant and incompetent fools.

I enlisted just after that, being too young at the time. But if you want to keep score in lives list, sure. There are around 50,000 names on The Wall. And conservative estimates put the number of COVID deaths you can credit to Fat Donny at bout 5 times than much. All because he thought more infections made him “look bad” and hurt his chances in the 2020 Election. SO you asked for 5% I give you five HUNDED percent. JUST from that. As for a forever war, you’ll get one if he keeps up his shit about Greenland. You might not have noticed, but NATO sure as fuck did, and when it comes to cold weather training and equipment, they have about 500% more of both. Then let’s talk about the pay-for-pardon scheme. Want a get out of jail free card? Do him a favor or give him a million bucks, you get a clean slate. His own lawyers admitted it. Back to killing, if you’re paying attention, you might’ve noticed that health care just got too expensive for about 30% of the country. So did eating. Why? because in order to give ANOTHER tax break to the richest white men in the world, he cut SNAP and Medicaid benefits for 42 million Americans.

We won’t get a Viet Nam, but the guy who called avoiding the clap his own “personal Viet Nam” will do a much more effective job of killing us, just by cutting out the middleman. And waiving on shipping.

Why did he sign that as the "45th" President?

James----I am Proud of you for enlisting in the military. However, you never experienced what MY generation was put through by LBJ and then by Tricky Dicky. That is a fact! LBJ was more than a disaster on VN, his great society idea which he pushed through has resulted in the ending of two parent families in the minority community for way TOO Many babies. I could write a book about that. You can look it up. It has resulted in Gangs that kill each other and innocent bystanders. The Democrats just can not bring themselves to face the truth. Look at the current Mayor of Chicago and the Governor of Illinois for -perfect examples of Ignorance, Bias, Protection of the Stratus Quo, and utter Incompetence. How many lives have been lost in Chicago alone since LBJ's so called "Great Society" started up the Democrats more than 6 decades ago?

Something like 75 to over 80% of Minority families have a Mother, Babies and NO Father. That is not a Great Society IMHO---how about yours?

Someone suggested trump confused "Norway" to be the capital of Denmark. He is unbelievable idiot. Elected by American idiots, supported by greedy and power hungry misfits

I listened to a podcast today in which a legal s solar stated that, in his opinion, the 25th amendment was not the legal way to go. That it's intent was for a president who was totally and co.pletely incapicated...Iike in a vegetative coma, stroked out, or something similar. In his opinion, the only legal option was impeachment. He may have also mentioned a military coupe. Or maybe that last one was some other option...

You folks need to have YOUR Heads examined. How did you graduate from the second Grade! In Fact Putin attacked the Ukraine during both the Obama and Biden Years. Putin did not dare attack the Ukraine when Trump was first elected President. Now Trump has inherited a War between those two countries and is trying to put a halt to it. That is something Biden could NEVER, Ever Accomplish. Somehow YOU seem to forgot the REAL facts. WHY? Have YOU always been this forgetful and BIASED? I imagine so!
