Even if he gets an earful in Europe he won't hear it any more than he heard the boos & jeers & cussing at the Nicks game. He tells himself & others it was a tremendous reception. And he'll say it over & over & over to convince himself & he will. Delusion comes easily to the deluded.
NATO is not dead but it is for US. What do we think is going to happen if we should be attacked like on 9/11? I know what will happen, there may be some polite statements about how terrible it was, that terrorism has no place in the world but we're not going to see nations line up to support us/US like they did after 9/11. I can still see Tony Blair with his sleeves rolled up giving his statement of support immediately after we determined what happened. Pretty damn sure what we may see or hear is something along the lines of the individuals that were killed, maimed & injured didn't deserve it but as for the US, it may only be behind closed doors but the feeling will be that we deserved it.
I'm an atheist but I still use religious terms & here's one: "We elected the devil" & now we are going to suffer the consequences. We'll all burn in hell for what happened when we closed USAID! Hundreds of thousands starving for lack of food, suffering through terrible diseases because it was more important to put "America First". And, fuck! The quislings & trump didn't put America first at all, they put themselves first, especially the orange devil. No one, no thing is more important than feeding that glutenous beast & his enormous, delicate ego.
Just ask the parents deciding whether to provide food or medicine to their kids! Third world countries, move over, make room for the millions in America that will suffer a similar or same fate that you are going through, though with our obesity problem our starving & hungry won't look emaciated for a while. But it will come if we keep Magats in power after trump succumbs to his hatred & pettiness. Hate is a disease that eats the patient from the inside out & it's showing on his hands & feet. Hate is all consuming & it will eventually take him & his followers across the River Styx & deposit them in Roman hell!!!!
"Delusion comes easily to the deluded." Thank you for that sentence! Interpreting the reception at the b'ball game as cheers and adulation means he will interpret the world only to aggrandize himself. What will he tell himself if he punches the nuclear code to wipe a country of the face of the map? What will we tell ourselves? What will Mike Johnson and the other toadies tell themselves? Good job? It's well that other countries no longer trust us. They shouldn't, and it remains to be seen if we can get back a semblance of sanity to our country. Clearly, I'm not at my most optimistic this morning.
This, in large part, is why I continue to assert that Trump will Quit/Resign should the Dems take control of Congress following the mid-terms. In my view, he will not wish to spend his remaining time in office fighting constant impeachment motions. He will quit/resign and blame everyone for being disloyal, corrupt, and unappreciative of his efforts toward a perfect MAGA, and for ruining his health. First though, he will pardon those he considers worthy. Consider that he has immunity gifted by SCOTUS, a potential tax immunity agreement (including family and associates), and the gains from his grift. He will take your Carte Blanche with him to continue as his personal lawyer. The chaos that will ensue following his resignation will help insulate him from immediate retribution. We will have to contend with Vance, a fractured Cabinet, a diminished DOJ/FBI/ODNI/etc., an Iran War of his making, loss of allies, tariffs, and on and on and on. He knows we will be too busy with damage control to focus time and valuable resources on retribution. Then he will die.
Karen, it's a tragedy that millions of American voters voted in favor of this obviously flawed individual. They voted even after he proved he cannot govern, ran the most chaotic administration in history and staged a self-coup to stay in office after he soundly lost the 2020 election. Are American voters so ignorant, so lacking in analytical skills, or so impressed with Trump's bombast and lying skills? It beats the he'll out of me!
With so many GOP voting the party line and not acknowledging their responsibilities to their oath - one has to believe that many are pedophiles. We know that 140 + are insurrectionists that want to protect their future and Trump - but with 500 + in Congress there is something very wrong.
We do know they enjoy the corruption and abusing their campaign funds and there is an emphasis to continue to protect Hawley from his use of NRA funds - the corruption is very organized. Cruz, Hawley, Grassley, Graham,, Cornyn, Jordan, Biggs and Roy are several insurrectionists that control the judiciary committees that have responsibility to question and object to executive branch decisions - but they have not. The majority of voters are not MAGA and do not support Nazi behavior and we would prefer to keep strong ties with NATO and the EU - rather than have a POTUS war criminal that runs with the KGB play book. Corruption rules and the end result makes no sense - unless they all take their wealth and move to Nazi Argentina with Thiel.
Hawley talks out of both sides of his mouth trying to keep his lifestyle! He is white Christian that has established aPAC with his wife for a National Abortion Ban. She is the one who got rid of Roe!
Another day, another demonstration that Trump's approach to warfare is to make civilians pay for the actions of governments.
So along with NATO no longer seeing us as an ally. He’s doing a bang up jobs with the Arab nations surrounding the Persian Gulf. As they’ve said, they can withstand price shocks, flight cancellations, and even temporary energy disruption more easily than they can withstand a major breakdown in potable water supply. That is why the next phase of this war may not be defined by what happens to oil. It may be defined by whether anyone is reckless enough to turn the region’s water system into a battlefield.
So…..In retaliation for Iran shooting down a U.S. helicopter whose two crew members survived without injury, Trump's military destroyed two water reservoirs serving communities near Sirik, leaving 20,000 civilians without safe drinking water as temperatures climb past 120°F. Local officials say there isn't enough groundwater to replace the lost supply.
For those keeping score at home, this wasn't a missile site, a radar installation, or a military base. It was water… Nothing like committing “war crimes”…
Of course he will do some lying post that we are really close to a deal with Iran….
My most optimistic hope is for a war crimes tribunal, targeting civilian structures; and I also can't forget the boats bombed in international waters with no evidence that they are carrying drugs. Oh, yes, DJT says so! We'll need a name that lasts as long as the words Nuremberg trials has.
It will be a long time for allies including my country Canada to ever trust the US again after having Trump threaten our country and others while insulting us constantly.
What a surprise that "Donald Trump's relentless threats against traditional partners has left America close to friendless. " is for real! People who treat other people with zero or no respect get discarded/rejected too! It's ashamed that it takes only 70 million disgusting & deplorable humans to cause so much damage, but truth is that history & circumstances repeats.

I agree totally

It's a tragedy that one unstable and ignorant man has caused us to lose friends, allies, and our standing in the world.

Thanks for everything, Miles. What a great lineup at Town Hall!
