This guy basically just said he doesn’t care what the constitution says, he’s going to do whatever he wants anyway.

I sure wish the idiots on the right would get riled up over literally anything besides the 2nd amendment.

The very first thought that popped into my head when I heard about this was that Trump is so stupid he doesn’t even realize that we haven’t actively used battleships in our naval doctrine since the end of World War 2. Aircraft carriers will always be more versatile, have longer range, and cast a larger sphere of influence than a battleship of any size ever will.

So this is little more than a glorified pet project to stroke Trump’s fragile ego, set to the tune of multiple billions of dollars in R&D and private contracts to his wealthy friends, for a project that will unlikely be done before he leaves office or leaves this mortal coil, whichever comes first.

I expect that if we end this madness and get a Democrat in office, if they have any good sense at all, they’ll cancel the project. However, the damage will be done between now and the next three years. Taxpayer money will be shoveled into this pit and evaporate into the ether.

If only the DNC would nominate someone with the cajones to say that as a campaign promise.

If Trump gets to spend a year on a revenge tour, why can’t we have someone go on a justice tour to clean up all the wrongs Trump has wrought?

No, please, do feel free to comment on American politics as a foreigner. We nonstop cram this shit down your throat whether you want to listen to it or not, so you deserve to have an opinion on how batshit crazy this all looks from the outside looking in.

On his deathbed, he changed his views on gun control.

China will be the dominant world superpower for a while and their standard of living will drastically increase. Middle East will be unlikely to stabilize any time soon. Africa might be put into play as serious economic competitors to fill the gap in skilled labor and services that the United States will leave behind in its wake. South America might finally have a chance to heal from the destructive regime meddling of the USA.

So I guess that means he won’t mind if he gets shot at the? Since he’s now a soldier in a war, after all…

I’ll celebrate the day by burning the American flag and posting online about how much I hate Trump, because I still have the freedom to do both of those things no matter what this sack of shit wants.

I don’t think, for as long as I live, I will ever stop being mad at whoever let Biden on stage in that condition.

Prison would be too good for these jackboot thugs.

True, I did not think of that. Trump’s new favorite tactic seems to be doing (or saying that he will do) the thing that everybody wants, but then complaining that his hands are tied by the courts or the law, even though neither of those things prevent him from breaking the law when it suits him. “Oops, sorry, we so badly wanted to release the full unredacted Epstein files but the law says we can’t gosh golly darnit, what a bummer, you saw that I supported it, but it’s these activist judges that are preventing the truth from getting out!”

Bondi is 100% running cover for him if they do get released.

My own theory on the flip-flop back to his original stance:

1. The DOJ/FBI have finished sanitizing the entire document to clear Trump and Republican loyalists, so releasing it now will only help them.

2. The worst of the damning information (about Trump knowing about the girls and not stopping it) has already been made public so there’s no point in hiding it anymore. Republicans have already spun the narrative as “not that bad” and Trump survived, so why not win some brownie points and release the official document in it’s entirety?

I can’t see any other reason for why he suddenly wants them to go public again. Trump only ever does things that serve his own self interests, so him blocking it for so long was beneficial to him in some way, and now continuing to block it doesn’t benefit him.

Deeds, not words.

I’ll believe this shit when I see it, which will probably be never.

I’m too old to be fooled by these MAGA morons and their crocodile tears.

Just make him a fucking king already then, you spineless mollusks. That’ll make your jobs much easier so you won’t have to make hard decisions like choosing to fight for your constituents.

Dems fucking caved. FOR NOTHING. Stupid motherfuckers.

Sometimes they can’t even win when Trump is on the ballot. Seems more accurate to say that they can’t win unless a woman is on the democratic ticket.

Hope he’s somewhere nice and hot.

The fucking media are such pussies.

I wish news outlets were run by journalists who burn with a passion to be the one who breaks the story that turns the whole world upside down, and not money grubbing billionaire parasites.

Yes. The states are responsible for running elections, not the federal government, so them being shut down doesn’t affect tomorrow.

It started last week, but only amounted to flight delays. I anticipate that things are unlikely to improve and will only get worse as more and more ATCs call in sick in protest.
