    This happened in the UK - The US is gaining so much more respect like Trump predicted

    Yep, discussed in Nixonland (@superdave). I still haven't had the stomach to read Reaganland. Too depressing----spending my time reading The Sleepwalkers instead.

    Let's see how this plays out, since we're well past the point of no return for the unprivileged.

    I mean...what do you say about this? Besides you guys are making China amd Russia looking sane.

    This move is utter desperation and weakness - not strength. Sad to see the US going down the path of a fast dying empire

    If you need further proof that Trump has sent us all into Bizarro Land, Piers Morgan has actually said something amusing.

    And has anyone ever asked him which wars he's ended? I'm especially interested in the "PLUS" part.

    I know this is somewhat tangential, but the way we’re forced the play the national anthem before all domestic sporting events is just stupid. The fact that we play it before a game featuring basketball teams from two US cities playing in the UK is dumber yet. Why the hell should a bunch of British basketball fans have to sit through the US national anthem in a situation like this (as opposed to when national teams are competing) it beyond me.

    There comes a point where the demands become so delusional, that complying with them - even pretending to entertain them - is far more difficult than pushing back.

    Your anti-American shtick is so tiresome. It's like you don't even know that half of America hates this country right now far more than you ever could

    Tell that to her - it`s your government trying to invade them, not me. The rest of the world doesn't care you hate your country right now or can't handle the truth but they are aware that the guy that was voting in in having a negative impact on their lives. Now, he's talking about using the same rhetoric on Canada and I'm supposed to be in love with you country? You're not entitled to it - earn it

    You hate it right now in the US? Do something about it

    We're up to 95,000 card carrying members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and growing!

    DSA is the new DNC!

    The left embracing socialism when we're standing at the most perilous of crossroads is hardly shtick. It's the defining issue of the day. Can the left in this country unite like never before or have we somehow still not learned the importance of party unity, loyalty and standing together, as Democrats.

    It's compelling.

    This tweet contains a message Trump sent to Norway’s prime minister.

    It is demented and insane in the literal senses of those words. Given the deterioration we’ve seen in his almost one year in office, there’s no chance this continues as status quo. Either Trump will leave due to health, those close to him will contain him like the Kellys and McMasters’ did in his first term, or our constitutional order will undergo a crisis.



    IIRC it started in baseball during the First World War.

    Performative patriotism is always a one way ratchet.

    Trump and fascism is the defining issue of the day. Democrats don’t control the courts, the presidency, or either half of Congress.
    tired is one thing. The exact opposite of reality makes it worse.

    Yes, but once we get past bemoaning the clown show, as @Robert Borden asked, what are we going to do about it?

    Our only hope really is with the midterms; we're only 9 months away and the kids/influencers want to be socialists. How is the DNC going to get these kids onboard?
