"Yet what matters isn’t the specific phrases, but the overall message: Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize.
The Norwegian Nobel Committee, not the Norwegian government and certainly not the Danish government, determines the winner of that prize. Yet Trump now not only blames Norway for failing to give it to him, but is using it as a justification for an invasion of Greenland."

"So it’s not enough to equate Trump’s legions to the Gestapo or the Klan. (I’ve done both.) He also is the 21st-century version of Attila or Genghis Khan, heading a horde that is defined by an exterminationist loathing of cities and all that they stand for and promote. Their diversity, their toleration, their culture, their solidarity across racial and other lines—all are threats to the horde’s and its ruler’s autocratic monoculture. On the streets, the horde’s loathing manifests as indifference (at least) to the loss of city dwellers’ lives.
As it is the 21st century, and as we have an 18th-century Constitution, Trump’s impulse for city sacking Š la Attila is constrained by laws and customs, but he’s plainly determined to find ways around as many of those constraints as he possibly can. Correspondingly, a good share of the fear he’s engendered all across America has an ancient pedigree: It’s the fear of the barbarians at the gates."

I hope they are at least paying interest.
"U.S. Court of International Trade Judge Richard Eaton had ordered immediate compliance, but he pushed back the timeline after fielding CBP officials’ concerns at a Friday hearing. The judge has now ordered a March 12 update on the progress.
CBP collected roughly $166 billion in tariffs from over 330,000 importers struck down by the Supreme Court that now must be returned, government data indicates."

Trump: Zehn Prozent Strafzölle wegen Grönland - auch für Deutschland
Wegen des Streits um Grönland hat US-Präsident Trump Strafzölle gegen insgesamt acht europäische Länder angekündigt - unter ihnen auch Deutschland. Die Aufschläge von zehn Prozent sollen ab dem 1. Februar gelten.

Love how Gavin Newsom is trolling Trump, but that alone does not make him viable as a Presidential Candidate. IMHO, he is not at all the best choice to be President of the USA. He has the liberal glow, but really inside he is a neo-liberal that works for the billionaires, not the rest of us.

The US Supreme Court FINALLY ruled against Trump’s tariff imposing. It’s really basic constitutional law, 3 Supreme Stooges voted the wrong way!
Those 3 are the biggest crooks.
Kavanaugh, Alito, and Thomas are anti-justice.

So, Gableman's argument is that if he isn't allowed to pick which judges hear his case, it is a violation of due process? I don't think that is the way the law is meant to work.
"Former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman says his due process rights have been denied during the ongoing fallout of his investigation of the 2020 presidential election."

Donald Trump being a loser isn’t exactly new but he’s really set himself up for loss, regardless what happens with Greenland. Either he loses any conflict because he can’t stand to see the dead soldiers coming home or he loses because the USA will be absolutely shunned by their former partners.
He loses either way.

Unbelievable! Trump and his radical fascist treasonous minions are clearly doing everything possible to destroy the US Society and Economy.
They must be removed and face the consequences of their tearing up of the Constitution and destroying the lives of so many Americans.

The 20th Century saw the establishment of two “superpowers” but the 21st Century seems to be seeing their decline, certainly conventionally.

"But should we be surprised by this chaos? As senior editor Jack Mirkinson writes, “The president is a congenital liar who loses a little more brain function with each passing day.” Perhaps there’s another reason we’re now at war, however: Israel has been longing for one. And “that has the potential to erode both the US-Israeli relationship and Israel’s already shaky standing with the American people,” Mirkinson notes."

It sounds like there was another ICE shooting today but there's almost nothing known about what happened.
"The individual, who has not been identified, was shot in southern Pima County near milepost 15 of West Arivaca Road at around 7:30 a.m., according to a news release from the Santa Rita Fire District. The fire department said it transported the person in critical condition."

Governments like Spain and France issued Letters of Marque, because getting private citizens to harass enemy shipping was cheaper than raising a large navy and there was a level of plausible deniability but the US has a ridiculously bloated military budget and the GOP is very open about not caring about American laws or international treaties.
