Let's be honest, the acceleration of his decline means he's unlikely to make it, even to the midterms.

He's creating a world that he won't be around to suffer through, and he lacks the empathy or general cognitive awareness to care about what it will be like for those who will be left.

The problem is China is the one nation which has the potential to usurp global hegemony from the US.

In the absence of a functional rules-based system, it's 'might is right'.

Meaning the real contest is between Chinese and US technocrats, hence Trump's efforts to destabilize the status quo, as China steadily advances.

The way Trump is going about it is destroying the power base of the US, both internationally and domestically.

The US won't be able to go toe to toe with China if Trump forces a conflict, not alone, not unless we go nuclear.

It's not what anyone wants, yet his cultists are clapping along...

All valid points.

Hi again, Frank.

A question if we may: do you support your DL invading Greenland?

Cheers.

Is he invading already?

Nahh - he's gunna make a deal.

A deal for what?

Bust in, take out Mette and leave the Social Democrats in power?

That could work.

Look - when you're a star they let you do it - you can do anything:

kidnap a foreign leader,

bomb nuclear sites in a foreign country,

annex a country cause you've gotta have it.

Why not.
Are NATO going to stop him?
And for global security, do you just want China and Russia running the who Arctic region?.
Trump sees the countries near him as having to fall in line.
No different to how it's always been.

I'm sure the most powerful aboriginal tribe 10,000 years ago saw neighbouring tribes as needing to fall into line.

NATO and the UN are flaccid.
One has to admire donnys potency

Why not?

Because you want to stop the endless wars and make America great again, remember?

Oh. Sorry, dear. You may have forgotten.

Your DL has just gone in and occupied a country of 30 mil.

Excuse us, the fakers asked, are you sure you don't just mean you've kidnapped Maduro and that's that?

Nope, DL said. We're running Venezuela.

Oh, they said. So which US agency's tasked with running it?

Er, DL said, trying to think of a name. Those behind me.

Pete Hegseth was standing behind DL. He looked at his shoes.

Little Marco was standing next to him. Marco did a double-take, his eyes darting around for the rest of the presser. There goes his holiday in Miami, he must have been thinking.

Luckily, Steven Miller went on CNN to explain.

Look, he said, DL gives the orders, Pete talks to the communists, and they do what DL told Pete.

Does Pete know any Spanish? CNN asked.

Don't be ridiculous, Steve said. We speak English in this country.

So why leave the Communists in charge?

Pete went into a long diatribe about endless wars and blood for oil and how DL was changing all that, taking over as many countries as he wanted, but leaving everything the same. It's a new doctrine for a new world, he said. It's hammer time.

CNN didn't get it, but left it at that.

But of course. DL just wants attention.

Check him out, getting roped in with questions. He looks like John Barrymore in his stage makeup.

IIt's not merely about attention, it's about diverting attention away from the Epstein files.

Having failed to comply with the statutory requirements of the law he himself signed, mandating the release of the full, unredacted Epstein files, he was then afforded a further 15 days to provide Congress with an explanation, explaining why the documents were so heavily redacted, why "Trump" was scrubbed from search results, and why those redactions were justified. Those 15 days expired on 3 January.

The very same day as the attack and the abduction of the President and his wife.

This is not coincidence and it's not just "attention", it's deflection, a deliberate shifting of focus from the Epstein files to something else, anything else.

And it will continue to happen until the full, unredacted files are released, with Greenland being the next distraction.

Just as the MAGA faithful will continue to contort themselves to defend the indefensible, by rationalising redactions, excusing the scrubbing of Trump's name, and in the process, running cover for the child abusers named in those files.

You know, Lindsay Graham, the guy who said never ever to US foreign intervention, blood for oil and endless wars.

He tried blaming drugs, but DL slapped him down.

It's not about drugs anymore, DL said, that was just for fun. It's about the oil, you fool.

DL, if you remember, promised to obey the oil companies if they gave $1 bil to his superpac.

Now he's in, he'll be asking US taxpayers to foot the bill to rebuild Venezuela's oil wells for Texaco and Chevron.

What do you think Congress will say to that, Bobby?

Excuse me, can I please have $30 bil to build new wells, ports and infrastructure in, er, Venezuela?

Cheers.

But of course. And in another 15 days, DL will need to take Greenland.

DL's subjects will be okay with that. Look, they'll say, why would we want to read all this scandalous tidbits about DL raping chicks with his buddy Jeff?

Far better to cede all moral authority to Vlad, destroy the global rules-based order, fuck NATO and give the green light to Xi.

Our Danish friends might be a bit upset for a while, but I'm sure they'll get over it.

Congress might say no -

Idiotic, not to says TDS on steroids, just as we have come to expect from you loons.

Now WHATEVER the US and in particular TRUMP does is a distraction from the Epstein docs. It is your and gweggy skunk pig's and paki trouser sniffer's bee in your TDS bonnet and SO the whole of the US should do nuffin' but attend to your mania.

Argentina has a reform process to stabilise the economy. A comprehensive tax reform, phasing out a few particularly distortionary taxes and broadening income and consumption tax bases, would enhance efficiency and equity. The Trump Administration has a great plan for riches and gold bars, imports of US cars and Pentagon control of law and order. US business will boom for all Argentine patriots (not the violent druggie mental patients).

Did the two events happen on the same day?

Did Trump's team not honour the 15-day deadline?

Has he released the full unredacted Epstein files?

The requirement is signed into law, HE signed it into law. Why is he not complying with his law?

Is the subject of the Epstein files now out of the new cycle?

Or is it just a coincidence that both events happened on the same day, totally out of Trump's control?

It was long predicted that Trump would initiate some sort of military action to avoid having to release the Epstein files, even on here, and sure enough...

In what way did the Military operation impact the work of the DOJ?

No government of ANY kind would release documents without reviewing them for public release (which is different to ransferring documents between departments and courts). No government is like Wikileaks.

There are millions of pages, apparently. There are court orders to protect victim identities.
