Yes. And worse than that. As Xi and Putin watch the chaos unfold in the US, what do we think they are planning next? Our soft underbelly is exposed.
We now look weak and rudderless with key leadership positions empty or about to be filled with clueless hacks.
Our "dear leader" has the instincts of a real estate tycoon who was unloved by his parents. His insecurities bleed from his pores. These are the times when our enemies will test us. They know opportunity when they see it.
Watch Putin make new aggressive moves in Europe. His expansionist urges are now encouraged. He wants HIS legacy to be that of a Stalin or Catherine the Great. The Russian Empire is poised to grow.
Watch Xi make real threats against Taiwan - he will get his island - it is what he expects to be the keystone in HIS legacy.
Three men control the fate of human civilization.
One of them is an amateur. A clueless putz.
None of them care how many people suffer. All of them think that they can run ragged over their own people.
Bill, definitely this are the times, times of weakness and chaos, our enemies are going to test us, not directly yet but around their orbit of influence to make us even weaker and to loose the trust of the few allies left. Nobody will trust us, increasing our weakness and then, we alone and still in chaos and economic distress with our underbelly exposed, they will try the coup of grace on us. Hope our military are aware of this scenario. Sorry for this last hope ЁЯШФ
I bet our military are very(x2) aware. Stay steady. Yes, some of our 'fellow' citizens look mean and clueless to us...so what? Many meanies had no interest in our American politics before their rampage in DC, and yes, they were foolish...many still are. Steady on! Write your congress-person...buck them up...our American experiment needs good sense...read, think, make plans...not just for the near and dear...that, of course! Please think a bit for me, too...as I think a bit of you and yours...we're in this mess together...
neighbors can be strong allies. Get practiced in saying 'hello!'...you can learn a lot, even with a wave...
Bill, excellent post. I was thinking about this last night and this am even before I got up. I think this is what all the nonsense about Greenland is about.
JL, and we who saw through his derangement, will now suffer because of the misguided, hate-filled cultists who turned their lives over to Trump and helped MAKE him all-powerful. I will forever blame the weak-spined Republicans who sold their souls to him. With the offering and collection of those MAGA souls, Trump has been allowed to punish the rest of us who still have our integrity and some sense of decency.
Decency, integrity, truth, fairness, and goodness have been tossed to the ground by Trump, and stomped on by those who lost their souls to him.
I'm wearing black for a while to protest his becoming president of our United States, which will now be our Ununited States.
Pam, thank you for everything you just wrote... I agree with you on all this and more... the cognitive dissonance with which I have suffered through has split my head, my heart, and my spirit for the past four years (and more). I wish I could have the opportunity to have a face to face conversation with hundreds of these sycophants, from Mike Johnson to Joni Ernst, and thousands more. And I even worry about our beloved actor of this letter, and so many others who are not afraid to keep speaking up and writing about the truth!
Cynthia, I have SO wanted to have a convy,ersation with Mike Johnson to ask him how he could claim to be a "Christian" and still support the works of Donald Trump which are downright mean, racist, dishonest, and hate-promoted. Since when are these attrubutes of Christianity? Christian Nationalists are the biggest hypocrites of all. They helped raise a deranged, dangerous man to the highest office in our country, which is now the Ununited States of Donald Trump.
Thanks for your comment. I agree. It's downright scary.
Pam, I am afraid that if I were face to face with little Johnson, I would just want to kick him. And yes, he and all these "Christians" are the ultimate hypocrites.
Especially when he plans to punish the people of California who have suffered devastating losses in wildfires because TrumpтАЩs doesnтАЩt like Newsom and Democrats.
There was lots of criticism over how Biden handled Helene and Maui but what theyтАЩre doing is so much worse. Where is his Christianity?
My fire watch alarm went off for 5 different fires in the middle of the night. One area is on evacuation orders. The corridor these fires were on goes right up the I-15 through Trump voter country. Will Republicans that represent those areas vote to withhold funding? They have a razor thin majority and still want to run on mob boss rule and threats. Give me what I want or IтАЩll make you suffer.
Do they ever wonder why California remains a blue state?
We all do, here in Europe we look on aghast. Spain (democratically minded people) openly weeps seeing a fascist dictator and his nazi fanboy installed. Let loose the ... complete it with your most hated thing...
"During the Nazis' ascent to power, some Jewish organizations, such as the Association of German National Jews and The German Vanguard supported nazism until being outlawed in late 1935. Motivated by anticommunism, conservative nationalism, anti-Zionism, and anti-liberalism, these groups had initially believed that Nazi antisemitism was merely rhetorical hyperbole or a tactic to "stir up the masses"" .[1][2][3]

There more outrageous the **** he gets away with, the more powerful he fancies himself to be. It's sick.
The stench coming from this country it's circling the world...what a nightmare.

My congressman is Mike Turner. Previously, I wasnтАЩt sure about himтАж but he got jacked over by Trump is now pissed.
Let's see what happens when maga will try to install loyalty only to them military in high positions.

Re: Elon Musk's salute or what Haaretz called "Roman salute" or fascist salute. Nazi Germany was also called Imperial Germany.
The ADL rushed to excuse Musk's "awkward hand gesture" - on X.

The more outrageous s*** he gets away with, the more powerful he fancies himself, and the happier his voters are with their choice.
