Some of his speeches literally sound like Hitler
No kidding.
Last April, perhaps in a surge of Czech nationalism, Ivana Trump told her lawyer Michael Kennedy that from time to time her husband reads a book of Hitler’s collected speeches, My New Order, which he keeps in a cabinet by his bed. Kennedy now guards a copy of My New Order in a closet at his office, as if it were a grenade. Hitler’s speeches, from his earliest days up through the Phony War of 1939, reveal his extraordinary ability as a master propagandist.
Read up the Wikipedia articles on nazism and the SS. The parallels are scary.
Well, he’s an unoriginal echo of everything he sees. Ofc he’d copy Hitler
Anything less than rump kicking it from old age sooner than later is unacceptable but we can’t have everything. Fuck rump and his fascist states.
Fuck him. I personally will fight for Kalaliit Nunaat’s autonomy (and sovereignty - if they want it.)
Trump has quite literally zero regard for Greenlanders as human beings. He only sees land for him to supposedly own.
Fuck him and enablers with the flame of a thousand suns.
Trump is willing to resort to force and violence to get the things he wants. I wonder why he was friends with Jeffrey Epstien.
Anything less than absolute revolution and the total abolition of capitalism is unacceptable, no more compromises with the capitalists we the workers must take what is ours.
And punish those that put us in this predicament.
Absolutely, those who have oppressed us and kept us in chains must be punished. All their ill gotten wealth must be confiscated and they must be forced to live the rest of their life on the lowest salary they gave.
It’s not like we put us in this position. We were put in this position with no choice and our backs to the wall. The fuck else option do we have?
None, we declare revolution or we accept that humanity is doomed to kill itself and I personally am not gonna accept extinction. Its that simple, we destroy capitalism or it will destroy us.
Agreed. This is the moment.
Breaking Demented lunatic pedofile rants about invading foreign country from his memory care facility
If he can’t accept something hes free to leave
You know what’s unacceptable? The fact that it’s NOT illegal to say “with a mortar launcher” because it’s really an incomplete sentence.
Rip Trevor
Can the dems pick up their nuts and deport trump to epstein island
Holding Trump accountable for his actions is far too partisan I’m afraid.
Will someone please do to him what he did to Maduro?!
Get used to disappointment.
The only thing that is unacceptable, and remains so daily, is that he’s still breathing.
He’s only still alive cause Satan does not want him.
The ONLY thing unacceptable? Seriously? There’s so much unacceptable shit that saying there’s only one thing is laughable.
You know that guy that died from eating all of the big Macs. There is no justice in the world there really isn’t.
Anything less than having trump in jail for the rest of his putrid life is unacceptible
With a view from his cell of a golf course he’ll never play.
I wouldn’t even give him that. Solid reinforced concrete lit for one hour a day. No contact with anyone in any way. Let him stew
I could get behind that. No contact, and no news, until it is announced that he died, and his body has already been buried at sea in a secret location. No other news.
There is no God if Trump doesn’t have a debilitatibg stroke. I want him alive, drooling, feeble but just mentality aware that death would be a kinder punishment.
Yep I want him to have the way of pain and great suffering. Not the easy way out.
Something like an ass cancer that makes bones painful…
We’ve come here because we punished people like him only with jail.
Well, not EVEN with jail.
I don’t understand why the danish officials they even wasted their time to go to Washington to “talk” about this. There’s nothing to talk about this.
Have they ever tried to reason with a toddler that’s having a tantrum “I want that toy now”? Waste of time.
Did Poland, Austria and France try to reason with Hitler??
Yes?
Kurt Schuschnigg, Austrian Chancellor, went to talk with Hitler in 1938, and under his pressure added Austrian Nazis to his government, for example on the Interior Minister post.
France officially complained about the re-militarization of the Rhineland in 1936, and later about the Anschluss of Austria in 1938.
Poland talked to Hitler and rejected their demands to hand over Danzig in 1937.
So I guess yes, on specific points at specific times. But I’m not sure if that’s the kind of thing you meant?
They have nothing to lose in doing so.
At worst “conversations” delay an American invasion giving more time for Denmark to prepare.
Any half-competent diplomat will ignore “pride” as a consideration for a chance at stopping a war or at least giving their own side’s military more time to prepare, with no actual downside (if that fails they get the exact same outcome as if they didn’t engage in “conversations”).
Also no doubt a lot of “out of the spotlight” work is going into convicing the members of that Administration who are actually intelligent types putting on a “derranged far-right populist” act for Trump and the American Public, that such a move will indirectly be bad for them personally because of the downsides for the people who own them - big American businesses - of turning Europe into an Enemy rather than merely a trade competitor.
To make the US even more isolated.
Simple: if the toddler has found daddy’s gun because the safe was left open… you better try talking before you scare it.
This is not a toddler, this is a guy bigger than you and with lots of guns and friends. Talking is our only option, especially because it means we can also go against the narrative that Denmark cannot defend Greenland.
Which is true in isolation, but that’s why we’re in NATO and the joint arctic command and have the 1951 deal with the US that you guys can scale up military presence in Greenland at will. Yet it hadn’t happened in 20 years, only reductions.
Personally I think we should have gone more into how Biden refused to increase the defense of the arctic region within the agreement, give the trumpists a way to call him names and solve the issue within the agreements we have.
Still, Lars Løkke has been doing the rounds on Fox News and elsewhere to give our perspective, which could influence public opinion and help change the false narratives being spread in the US. From our perspective we had everything to gain from a meeting and very little to lose.
Even if biden had done all that, musk would have undone it for his orange god
That’s not the point, though. The point is to try and change the narrative to be more, shall we say, fact-based. And maybe talk to someone less mental than Trump.
Good luck finding anyone like that with enough pull to matter
Well, that’s what our people did yesterday. Even if Vance is a piece of shit he’s not deranged like Trump, and Rubio is also someone you can have a productive discussion with as a foreign nation provided, of course, that the racist grandpa in charge of your nation calms down for a second and stops posting lies about Greenland every 30 minutes.
Vance, Rubio and Miller are even worse war mongers and ultra rightwing fascist pieces of shit. They are worse than Trump becuse they are younger and can do more damage for a longer period of time. Trump, all his enablers, toadies, and yes men-need to go.
I really want to stress how deeply unpopular this is in the U.S. The MAGA movement is about 30% of the electorate, so you can generally expect that even the dumbest, most insane Trump decisions have a floor of 30% approval. 9% of Americans support this, 86% oppose it. At minimum, two-thirds of Trump’s most rabid, loyal followers are against this.
So what? He will invade Greenland, get voted out and everything will turn back to normal? Because you disapproved of said actions?
LOL, no. As I already said in this thread:
Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.
Approval isn’t changing Trump’s actions, and he’s actively talking about canceling the midterms (though using his ICE for voter suppression is more likely). The only hope is that enough neocons tell him that they’ll support impeachment if he fucks up NATO.
You still elected him. You are all responsible for this.
Something I’ve learned in the last decade, no matter how unpopular a position, MAGA supporters will fall in line with the party rather than risk threatening the parties authority.
Maybe. MAGA is fracturing right now. Withholding the Epstien files really was too much for some of them, and Marjorie Taylor Greene’s defection gave a lot of them permission to question and criticize him. Invading an ally for no reason might actually break through to good chunk of the average red hats.
False hope. Come election time Republicans will rally around some insane thing like “Democrats are eating babies” and they’ll pull the lever for whoever has an R by their name. Even non-crazy people will tell themselves some half-baked story that starts with “Well, I don’t like Trump but…” and do the same thing.
Don’t you do it. Don’t you give me hope…
Can I interest you in an academic novel that comprehensively confirms your opinion? theauthoritarians.org
how deeply unpopular
He was elected twice. On both occasions those that didn’t care won.
30% isn’t deeply unpopular btw. That’s about 5-10%.It’s bad enough that we’re reminded we have to stop and think about the Americans, let alone having to accept bullshit.
He used the general maga as a baseline and then said the approval for this is under 10%, not even popular among the people who are rude or die with Trump
I hope those numbers can be turned into actions to stop Trump.
The elected officials need to be reminded what the vast majority of their voters want them to do.
Thanks. They’re comforting numbers.
Well, I hate to throw cold water on that comfort, but I’m not sure the numbers matter. Trump is increasingly unresponsive to polling, even within his base, and it seems like the Pentagon really is planning an invasion. It would fracture his own MAGA movement, completely destroy NATO, make America a global pariah, and potentially start WWIII, but it seems he is seriously considering it.
I have nothing to base this on but some guy on the internet said that he is demanding invasion & the top brass keeps trying to talk him out of it.
I read an article that claimed some top Generals are trying to distract him with an invasion of Iran (which is also really, really bad). Traditional neocons certainly don’t want this, though; they don’t want to throw away 80 years of military alliances. Still, if the president tells the Pentagon, “make me a Greenland invasion plan,” they’re gonna do it.
Ah I’m sure he’s considering it and the planning is a given. I’m glad the bulk of Americans have some sense in this matter at least.
Probably as retribution to the American people for not voting for him in 2021. Such a lust for revenge
As long as that idiot is in power those numbers mean nothing. Impeach him, vote in a new guy and then we’ll talk.
