I'm actually starting to believe Pete Davidson is right when he says that Trump can't read. If you watch the video yesterday where Trump receives the letter from King Charles, it would certainly appear that he had no idea what it said. Combine that with the EO performances, where an underling tells him what he's signing, and it doesn't look too good. Maybe he can't read, or maybe he just can't see well enough to read, or maybe it's dyslexia or something else, but something doesn't look right there.

 

He chooses not to wear glasses, at least in public.   I remember back in 2015-16 he was wearing a pair at a presser; hell, he's old---it's not that big of a deal.  Ever since he was elected, I don't recall see him ever wearing any.  He probably sees it as a sign of weakness or something, as vain as he is.

 

Here's a pic from the Daily Mail in 2017:

I have been able to obtain, at great personal expense and risk, a copy of this letter.  Whatever you do, please don't disclose this to anyone:

Yeah I've had my candidate lose the election lots of times, but since I turned 18 in 1983, I can't remember a single presidential election where the result didn't follow very closely with what the signs were showing us. Until this one. It was an utter shocker for me. Everything seemed to point to a Harris victory imho.

I'm not saying it was rigged ... but it sure feels like it was. 

I will believe the election was fair and square when I see the percentage of bullet votes for each state.

Nice win for Putin, dividing USA and European powers over Ukraine. IMO, just like Brexit, how it ends up doesn't matter, the discussion itself creates diversion and long term rights in anti-Russian alliance. 

And President Huff & Puff and his minions are following the script.

Trump signed an EO intending to make English the official language of the US. He’s also done the following:

Within hours of President Donald Trump’s inauguration, the new administration took down the Spanish-language version of the official White House website.

The site — currently https://www.whitehouse.gov/es/ — now gives users an “Error 404” message. It also included a “Go Home” button that directed viewers to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first term and on the campaign trail. The button was later updated to read “Go To Home Page

Wonder if Republicans will stop lying on Spanish speaking radio stations in South Texas.

I have to say that I am surprised and disappointed that Trump has ordered English as the official language of the USA. Certainly we need to rename our language to Americanish, it is completely disrespectful to the greatness of our county and ignores our independence from the small island country of England/Britain/UK.

Same here. It is a very petty thing. I took pride that we did not have one. The cost for a Spanish web page is nothing. Should have had it in every language. Oh, there are 18 of a group of islanders in the indian ocean, call Imma and get a new page up. Ask him to not scare them with river monster pictures.

To all you "Speak English!" assholes, Ma jebi tvoj pitchka mater. Je sam Americanac.

There is a possible positive outcome. If Europe becomes a more independent militarily it could still be a US ally when or if the US ever stabilizes but until then it can be a counter balance. And a stronger Europe as an ally makes the alliance only that much stronger. I’m becoming very much pro Europe in this fight. Distance and develop more capability and capacity and make the world more stable. Multilateralism with the US and China at the top isn’t working for the world right now.

We are way beyond saving democracy.... that's because we are witnessing human DEvolution in real time ... led by Team USA ... streaming on screens all over the world. 

A 21st century crusade of idiocy and violence accelerating our species backward into the Sixth Extinction event:

-- either by massive climate destruction over a few centuries 

-- or total nuclear annihilation in an afternoon. 

We are far beyond the event horizon.

 

 

But a few people will survive. They'll be able to rebuild a beautiful new world, with the lessons learned from this fiasco as a base. It will be like Star Trek, with all races of humans living in harmony in a utopian meritocracy.

Eh, Cuban's still an asshole and greedhead.  He just looks better by comparison these days.

I do think, unlike many other tech bros, he has some inkling how fucking lucky he is to be where he is and that he isn't some ubermensch to whom the rules don't apply.

Cohen is a Cambridge graduate, after all, and as a classically educated Briton seems to have a pretty firm grip on the current dynamics in the world.

Oddly enough, it seems most educated Britons do.  I started reading the Slough House/Slow Horses novels, which began in 2010 with an alt-right villain. And have continued to criticize Trump and Brexit.  The author is, of course, an Oxonian.

And also been reading another set of British books, by a guy named Andy Maslen, this time mostly pulp ala Reacher and others, but the first book from 2015 centers around an alt-right coup.

Ubermensch?

Yeah, in sort of American-vernacular Yiddish.

I am referring to Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathustra, where the ubermensch is the secular human ideal.

Of course none of these fuckwads is that, but I think they believe themselves to be.

I guess I’m holding out hope that everything happening currently is like the final act of an action movie in which the protagonist (the United States and western democracy) has been captured and tortured by the madman villain plotting to destroy the world (Trump, MAGA, Putin, Elon, etc), and we are just waiting for the unlikely plot twist that allows goodness to prevail. God we really need that plot twist about now.

regardless of the statistical impossibility of 7 for 7 at the exact margin +1 to avoid scrutiny, at least the way it went down we didn't have a jan6 replay, this time with a scene of slaughter

”On Friday in the Oval Office, the world witnessed the opposite. Volodymyr Zelensky, Ukraine’s embattled democratic leader, came to Washington prepared to sign away anything he could offer President Trump except his nation’s freedom, security and common sense. For that, he was rewarded with a lecture on manners from the most mendacious vulgarian and ungracious host ever to inhabit the White House.”

Only possible hope is that some serious work is being done quietly to gather the votes for impeachment and removal from office. How many (R) congress critters would need to be recruited, who aren't terribly excited about us handing over our country to Russia? Which, clearly, is what seems to be happening here. Every single fucking thing we've done the last five weeks hurts us, and our allies, and helps Russia.

It’s interesting that one of his professors at Cambridge is Niall Ferguson, one of the leading right-wing historians of our time.

house convictions are meaningless and a waste of time and bandwidth without 67 in the senate willing to convict

counting the 2 independents as dems right now the senate score is red 53, blue 47, 67 needed

next year in play: blue 13, red 22

a conviction margin would require blue outscore red 33 to 2 in next years senate elections

6 of 13 blues who are up next year are already 70 or older

7 of 22 reds are 70+

Careful.   It coud be Adam Sandler or Pauly Shore.

Damn, this MeidasTouch video already has over 1.2 million views and was posted 4 hours ago. 

I saw another clip recently where David Pakman was saying his views/subscribers are rising rapidly. Looks like Dems and people on the left are abandoning CNN/MSNBC/etc. and starting to listen to online commentators, which is a good thing IMO. People are tired of the sane washing of Trump and MAGA on TV networks.

Well, I just watched my first podcast, and I learned nothing I didn’t already know. To be fair, I hadn’t seen the Rogan footage, but I know about the threat to Social Security.
