Donald Trump the Megathread part II - Mod Warning updated in OP 12/2/26

Lucien, the system in Russia is an oligarchic form of capitalism. You criticise western capitalism while ignoring the Russian version.

Nations cannot be reduced to vassals of great powers. The right to self defence is written down in the Charter of the United Nations. Ukraine is a member of the UN.

Also superpowers have been defeated by smaller Nations as Vietnam and Afghanistan (both the US and USSR) show.

Former Trump White House lawyer predicts he'll keep worst Epstein files secret

Cobb told Salon, "It's hard for me to understand why people don't recognize this as the total scam it is. Trump never wanted any of these documents released, and they will not release them — at least ones that open doors that could lead back to Trump. Cobb expects a "few innocuous productions of things that everybody already knows, but no real meaty documents unless and until forced by a court."

Statement reflects the number of FBI agents (1000) who have been working flat out to redact Trump's name from the Epstein Files.

That's what they are, fools

He said it was standard stuff in negotiations, which is patently b0llox.

You'd wonder if privately he's fuming and if those involved will be fired for it

he is so susceptible to manipulation through attention and praise that it is hard to know, he doesn’t think rationally. He might love the fact that putin is being instructed in how to talk to trump.

We don't, but its good to have the MAGA faithful hear it. The more they fall out with each other, the more the contradictions and incongruities of the MAGA world view become apparent. The words of Candace Owens, Tucker Carlson and Marjorie Taylor Greene will get to places and into ears that the words of Democrats, mainstream media and other non-MAGA will never be allowed to reach. Once the chaos of Trumpworld gets into Fox and they're unable to hide, explain away or refute statements coming from their own ranks, the better for everyone. Of course some will simply cover their ears and refuse to entertain unwelcome news but others will be unable to maintain the cognitive dissonance indefinitely.

If the background data on this person's past history, to be a CIA employee in Afghanistan in a supply role during the 2016-2020 Trump Admin era is correct in detail, then his presence in the U.S is solidly down to Trump. Not that that will mean anything to Trump.

they’ll probably probably say whatever official granted him asylum was appointed by Biden

Any truth to the story that the following occurred in a U.S court within the past day or so? Its on the Breaking Point facebook page and quite probably is slanted to give an impression that the Trump camp is imploding further on the legal front….

BREAKING FALLOUT: TRUMP THROWS KRISTI NOEM UNDER THE BUS IN EXPLOSIVE CONTEMPT HEARING — DOJ NAMES HER AS FINAL DECISION-MAKER ON ILLEGAL DEPORTATION TO “CONCENTRATION CAMP” AS MAGA ALLIES reportedly PANIC ON LIVE TV AND BACKLASH ERUPTS NATIONWIDE

It started as a routine courtroom update and turned into a full-blown political soap opera. In a stunning turn, DOJ lawyers formally pointed the finger at KRISTI NOEM, telling the judge she was the one who greenlit sending migrants to a notorious detention camp after being warned about the court’s order. Inside the courtroom, reporters say the tension was thick enough to cut with a knife.

Outside, the fallout exploded online. Legal analysts, veterans of the immigration wars, and stunned viewers are already calling it “the moment Trump’s own regime sacrificed Noem to save itself.” Insiders claim Noem was blindsided by the filing and is “furious” at being set up as the fall gal while Trumpworld reportedly scrambles a damage-control narrative.

I see NBC news reported on the filing story as well….

The US was never a reliable ally. I can't remember an instance of them coming to a friendly countries aid when there was a significant upside for themselves. NATO was an absolute boon for American MIC as well as the ability to maintain significant presence across Europe and beyond.

They reneged on guarantees to Ukraine even in Bidens time. Have history of spying on their "allies" and using leverage against these "allies" to enforce their will. The sooner everyone in Europe wakes up to this decades long fact, the better it will be for us all.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

Trump is a f*cking animal.
