Oh My Bob, y'all. Some of Trump's friends have just landed a bunch of drilling equipment in #Greenland. They don't have permission to be there. They don't have permission to drill. The land is a preserve, and under protection.
But the oil company is run by buddies of the #Trump cartel, and they've all but said "Either you let us start killing stuff and making money, or we can land the #Marines, your choice." Trump has learned a lot from #Putin.
Apparently the #GOP and #Republican voters needed to add mafia to the kakistocracy, racism, sexism and fascism already on their calling cards.
āThe United States military, under the command of Donald Trump and his deputy, Pete Hegseth, has its tail between its legs. We have run out of enough ammunition to fight this war or any war. We have lost the war on Iran. We are, in the immortal words of no less a figure than Richard Nixon, a pitiful helpless giant. And the whole world knows it.ā

A US oil company connected to Trump has landed drilling equipment in Greenland. They don't have permission to land the equipment, let alone to drill two test wells within a conservation area.
Climate-aware Greenland stopped issuing drilling licenses in 2021, but the USians intend to piggyback on an existing license. Emboldened by Trump's international aggression, their motto appears to be "Who's gonna stop us?"
This action will produce headaches that Nato members don't need right now.
The Americans really have become the world's most obnoxious arseholes, haven't they.

you're trying to play shell games to hide the obvious lesson:
nonvoters and MAGA gave us #trump
just admit it
we can't work on MAGA, they are bigoted pieces of shit, mind controlled zombies, toxic waste to ignore
what we do is we work over the nonvoters
attack their loser psychological failures (we don't coddle them, this is codependent enabling)
we increase the #vote, and we win and defeat #MAGA
#ElSayed is a powerful marker on this journey
Imagine a US president so easily manipulated, that he entered a costly and open ended war he never needed to wage, immediately used up most of his stockpile of long range missiles to kill innocent citizens and manipulate the markets, had zero diplomacy skills to negotiate a meaningful ceasefire and so left his country wide open to its long term enemiesā¦itās so dumb, you can only assume he is actively working for the enemy.

The BBC's defence of the case against it brought by the Tangerine Tyrant is a great example of how a bully's bluster and hyperbolic threats can unwind rather seriously once exposed to the legal process... in this case the BBC's discovery process for defending their claim has backed Trump & his lawyers into a corner.

Medieval rulers used Jews as political weapons, foils, and scapegoats in ways both US political parties mirror these days. So this should go super well for us I'm sure. š
"The #Trump administration is preparing to launch a nationwide campaign against #antisemitism, sending senior #JusticeDepartment officials to 15 cities that it says have failed to adequately protect their #Jewish communities.
#LeoTerrell, chairman of the Justice Departmentās Task Force to Combat Antisemitism and a senior counsel at the department, told The Jerusalem Post that the initiative had been approved by #US #President #DonaldTrump and Justice Department leadership. The campaign is expected to begin in early September.
āThe 15-city tour is designed to go to victims who need help, and theyāre not getting help from their local government,ā Terrell said.
āWeāre working 24/7 to kick this tour off, probably early September, and itās going to run for the next 60 to 90 days,ā he added."

āOvert CORRUPTION!ā: Fmr. FBI official on Trump selling early access to social media posts
Why is the Tangerine Tyrant's rhetoric on the communist menace becoming so shrill... well he may well have seen the polling that suggests that even his base support among older voters lacking a college education are not as suspicious of socialists as he might have hoped.
Given the success Zohran Mamdani in NY this might be concerning to Trump, and to the anti-Left Democrats too.
What's fascinating is how sentiment has survived the ideological onslaught on a century!
US presidents have made their public speeches about Iran for many years.
President #Obama, just like #Trump, focused on Iran's nuclear program, as if it was a valid reason to give or withhold peace from them, depending on Iran's choice.
The United States has nuclear weapons and has used them. Which nations can be trusted to possess these devastating weapons?
(I would say none.)
Trump was not the first president to wage war without approval from Congress.
Barack Obama broke this rule before him, in his 2011war against Libya.
Trump ordered the attacks that killed the leaders of Iran.
Obama ordered the attacks that resulted in the death of the leader of Libya.
The war machine has been going on and on for generations. Why? Because the love of man has grown cold. He kills and justifies himself for doing it.
