Russians Getting Involved In Aiding Cheeto

Cheeto is getting a little help from his friends(https://bit.ly/45IFkUS) Russian hackers got involved supporting the ICE Gestapo and helped shut down an anti ICE site that identified 4500 names of ICE and CBP agents gained from a DHS leak

Obviously Cheeto and his regime don’t want to have their goons identified That would make recruitment more difficult but also open up these disgusting agents to legal challenges in the future So enter the Russians who by massively increasing searches onto the site’s servers shut down the site IP addresses were tracked back to Russia No problem with loss of information which was archived

So make no mistake Cheeto is creating political ties to Russia under the table and expect that this is a trial balloon for the midterms

Thank you so much for taking a look underneath the stone and finding the rot festering there. I never thought much about the concept of corruption until Donald came along. I certainly tried not to participate in it Intuitively. Now, I realize that corruption is about the worst thing we can do to each other socially, morally. It is the lie writ large and it makes everything dirty.

Mike Johnson was elected to the 4th District of Louisiana with 85 percent of the vote. Yes, 85 percent. You might want to put that part of Louisiana, which is another country, on a Do Not Visit list.

I taught US and world history for almost 30 years. It isn't hidden information that Chamberlain made a terrible, lethal mistake by trying to "compromise" with Hitler. So why, please tell me, is it so difficult for others to say "NO" to this limp Mussolini/wannabe Fuhrer? It is also mind-boggling that all those who bend the knee get kicked in the rear eventually. It reminds me of the abused partners who hook up with known physical abusers thinking "They'll be different with me. I'm special." No, you aren't. Caving to Trump gets you nothing but his smelly farts and reeking diapers up in your face.

Actually, Chamberlain had a plan to delay Britain’s involvement in the war until the British forces could be rebuilt.

Thank you, I'm going to go back over my notes. I always appreciate reminders of what I've forgotten or overlooked! Love this community.

Morally depraved and psychotically deranged Donald Trump is unfamiliar with the homonym that means both "no!" and "know". He is the ignorant, self-deluded village idiot who lives in the confected locale of his own mentally pathological, Potemkin village.

Steve thank you. You are an American Patriot and I'm grateful for your leadership! My comment is this? and I haven't seen anyone yet in the media talk about how Trump's invasion of Greenland is really about destroying NATO and accomplishing Putin's dream! This is about Trump hel[ping Russia and Putin. Trump is a traitor. IT MAKES ABSOLUTELY NO F'N SENSE TO TAKE GREENLAND NONE WHATSOEVER. WE CAN ALREADY PRETTY MUCH DO WHATEVER WE WANT IN GREENLAND. SO WHAT PURPOSE DOES AN INVASION SERVE? IT'S REALLY FOR THE DESTRUCTION OF NATO AND TO BENEFIT PUTIN AND RUSSIA. Sorry for the caps but I'm pissed.

The Scale Of This Stupidity Will Kill Us All

1) Article 5 of the NATO Charter is quite clear - AN ATTACK ON ANY OF ITS MEMBERS IS AN ATTACK ON ALL ITS MEMBERS. It is the most consequential treaty clause ever written. The U.S. invoked Article 5 after the 9-11 terrorist attacks, leading to NATO operations in Afghanistan. Denmark was among the first of our allies to respond. So was Canada. They lost many of their own young heroes to defend us, period. NO ONE SHOULD EVER FUCKING FORGET TO MENTION THIS FACT IN ANY CONVERSATION ON THIS TOPIC.

2) Article 5 is understood by Vladimir Putin as demonstrated in his speeches. Xi understands it too. They won't be attacking NATO unless they have another planet to move to in advance. Bunker living will quickly turn into the Lord of the Flies.

3) Article 5 is also well understood by our own U.S. NATO commanders - and referred to in recent speeches and conferences. This is the time for all NATO country leaders to rip The Big Asshole a new asshole in public, especially the U.K.. Macron has already stepped up and should be applauded.

4) If Article 5 was not acted on in the case of any invasion, then NATO would be rendered useless. And of course, this is the game of nuclear war chicken that the Mad Asshole Duck and his ugly ducklings are playing in the White House. The Big Asshole claims that China and Russia are just about to grab Greenland. No, they won't, unless they are committing suicide for their countries and murder for all the rest of humanity because any military action would very fucking quickly escalate into nuclear war. And yea, the Big Asshole and his minions would be down in the bunker not giving a living fuck about you and me and our families who will die 1000 different ways - all unimaginably horrible. Chorus: Fuck You Asshole.

5) I cannot believe I am writing this - we are signaling to Putin to continue his war in Ukraine, we are signaling to Xi that he can take Taiwan, and any other asshole can take over anything they want. Sure, Nobel Prize coming right up, Sir.

6) What drives me nuts is how the media just swallows his lies - how he repeats for the idiots amongst us that Chinese and Russian ships are circling Greenland. That's bullshit as evidenced by a recent Financial Times article indicating that Nordic diplomats and intelligence sources strongly refute U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of widespread Chinese and Russian naval presence near Greenland, with officials stating no such ships are present and that vessel tracking data confirms this, challenging the U.S. justification for increased control over the strategically important Arctic territory. These reports highlight tensions between U.S. assertions of a Chinese/Russian threat and reality, leading to discussions in Greenland about responding to U.S. pressures. WHY DOES ANYONE BELIEVE ANYTHING - ANYTHING - OUT OF THE BIG ASSHOLES' MOUTH? Oh, I see, it gets "clicks" for these news organizations. Incredible. Blithering fucking idiots. The notion that the Chinese or Russians would be taking over Greenland is hyperbolic, predictable bullshit.

We already have a base in Greenland and if we wanted to say, double the size of that we probably could. The fact is that NATO, with the best of our military leaders working closely with legacy and new members (like Sweden) are already deploying Arctic strategies involving cutting edge technologies and yes, Greenland is an important place. But it is owned by Denmark, and we do not BETRAY our longtime allies. That is not who we are. It is what the Asshole is but not what 85% of Americans are.

7) Venezuela, Cuba, Canada, Greenland, Columbia, and NATO countries Albania, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czechia (Czech Republic), Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Montenegro, Netherlands, North Macedonia, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom- are all countries where their people now hate the U.S. And all the fault of a deteriorating Asshole at the helm who thinks he now rules the world - fueled by an idiot mob, and a bunch of fucking whores in Congress and a whore SCOTUS where 4-5 of the Justices just want to either keep getting billionaire perks or want to start soon (disgust is not the right word).

8) The last absurdity is that the frantic Greenland grab is because of what, rapidly melting ice? But, but, but ….wait - I thought Global Warming was a hoax? Isn't that why the Asshole just stopped several multi-billion windfarms and killed 10s of thousands of jobs? The people (and especially Fox watchers) have collectively become stupid beyond the level of sustenance required to go on and therefore nuclear war is much closer than 99.99 percent of the population thinks. And they have some bizarre stupid as shit survivability ideas for this level of existential war.

9) Socrates argued that voting required knowledge and skill, not just popular opinion, fearing uneducated masses would follow demagogues and harm the state, a concern echoed by Plato - believed society functions best when leaders are wise and citizens are educated, not just given equal voice without understanding, warning against rule by impulse rather than reason. (er, we are exactly 180 degrees from that ideal at this point). Therefore democracy is always vulnerable.

10) And oh, do not worry, I am sure that the Big Asshole will have a MacDonald's down there in the Hell Bunker for himself. And you and I are paying the billions to have his place just right for him - caviar and crab legs and Champagne for all. Idiocy. Fuck you, Asshole, and the idiots who voted you in and the idiots that fueled this on the Dem side (keeping the border open, transgender sports - all that was obvious jet fuel) . Not sure how much time we have so a nice blanket Fuck You. Everyone else - call your Senators and Reps. Do it now!!

The Sudetenland land claim in 21st century form.

Not only have the EU and the UK failed to deliver a resounding "No!" to the Tangerine Tantrum as he endeavors to grab Greenland in this week's episode of "MAGA imperialist Aggression," but to make matters worse, they are also absolutely incapable of meaningful force projection when negotiating leads nowhere. (The tragedy that is Ukraine is the most obvious example of this.) As part of today's EU military deployment to Greenland, meant to demonstrate that the Europeans can swiftly assemble assets in Greenland, Germany, for instance, sent thirteen personnel and the UK just one! I suppose this might be what is called a "tripwire deployment," but I don't think Trump is capable of deciphering such a subtle message to back off and instead will read this as weakness.

Should Trump decide to invade Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, in order to annex it “ensuring our security” and enabling deployment of his “golden dome,” he will be faced with a dilemma. Denmark is a member of NATO and so are we. Article I of the alliance obligates every member to come to the aid of any member that is a victim of aggression. Since we would be the invading nation how could we live up to our obligation to help defend the victim of our aggression? For Trump the solution will be easy. We will invade Greenland with “boots on the ground,” thus fighting to make Greenland a U.S. territory. In order to meet our NATO obligations we will bomb the troops with our Air Force! Easy.

That sounds (and is) ridiculous. However, is it any different than recruiting right wing militias, members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, rebranding them as ICE officers, heavily arming and masking them, to go out and preserve democracy by violently attacking and even killing protesters who dare question his cruel domestic and foreign policies?

Rosemary Silva's avatar

When faced with the dilemma you outline, I am sure that Trump will be guided by his total disregard for international law and America's obligations to its allies, and animated by his insatiable appetite for dismantling norms, institutions, and the established world order. And yes, it is no different that spinning off ICE officers from Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and siccing them on protesters intent on exercise their First Amendment rights. It's all about lawlessness and brutality and "winning."

I've never fully understood the deference shown to Trump and his cabinet secretaries and diplomats as self-appointed negotiators meddling in the affairs of other nations. Isn't there some kind of protocol for such things? And if there is, why are the leaders of NATO member countries like Denmark, and invaded/victimized countries like Ukraine, so solicitous and/or tolerant of the intrusion of Trump and his minions, who wear a self-serving agenda like a badge of honor and haven't a whit of interest in the history or preservation of other nations, into negotiations about the future of other nations that can only undermine their national interest? Steve is entirely correct here -- Trump needs to be told, "NO," and that means rejecting the pretext of "visits" with JD Vance and other Trump emissaries, or purportedly "friendly" discussions with now-skeptical NATO allies intended only as opportunities for Trump to make demands based on an assertion of raw power. I am only slightly heartened by the news of NATO allies fortifying positions on Greenland soil. Until someone does something that sets Triump back on his heels, we all sit on the brink of a Trump-created disaster for NATO, for Greenlanders trying to live stable and peaceful lives, for US citizens who are at risk of retaliatory acts on our own soil, and for all of the NATO countries. This is already a disaster in the making, but it may not be too late to tell Trump "NO." Count me among those who say you can't let a bully think he's defeated a weakling merely by rattling his saber.

Every Democrat in Congress and beyond should make it priority #1 to say the words "military" and "draft" every day, or even every hour. No one, including MAGA meatheads, wants to see themselves, their family members, or their friends drafted into the military to fight against anyone, but most especially against our European allies. Come on, Dems! For once, be smart in your messaging!

The word no is a two letter one word sentence. It doesn't need an explanation or a defense. It stands alone.

Philip Maxwell's avatar

The most effective way of reaching the least cobwebbed corner of The Donald's cranium is not to say No Donald. More appropriate would he Nein, Mein Führer, Dein ICE-Gestapo steht hinter Dir SIR! That might get through to Donald. On the other hand he might react hy levelling another wing of the White House.
