PRIME MINISTER OF DENMARK MATTE FREDERIKSEN:
I think it's time to stop pretending that the U.S. isn't an obstacle to addressing this existential threat to the well-being and safety of all our citizens.
Allow me to quote Sun Tzu's art of war. "The whole war is based on deception", and, undoubtedly, Putin led the war of deception.
He designed a historical mitz of the mighty Red Army, trying to capture Ukraine quickly. He tried to do this to untrained, poorly equipped troops, on stale rations. Putin risked thinking that NATO would not send troops to help defend Ukraine, and he was right.
What he didn't plan, it's the lion spirit of the Ukrainian people and the ingenuity of their military engineers.
Their work with drones and maritime drones has transformed the combat strategy.
As soon as allies began supplying Javelin anti-tank missiles and supporting artillery, the game changed. Did they prevent the Russians from gaining advantage in the air?
And the Russian Black Sea fleet had to retreat from the port.
This is a testimony of the Ukrainian Army and Air Force, Russia held back against all circumstances.
Let's be honest, the military has achieved what it has achieved, not because of us, but against us.
We gave them enough guns only to contain the bear, not to drive it out.
There were constant delays, waiting for artillery shells, HIMARS and ATACMS, as well as tanks and F16s.
WE HAVE LET THEM DOWN.
But these brave men and women came up with and managed to protect not only their country but our borders.
WE OWE THEM A LOT.
Not with words and sympathy, but with the appropriate tools to do the work.
America disgracefully has gone and joined our enemy.
The favorite of the US President Elon Musk together with J.D. Vence have meanwhile actively supported far-right political parties in Europe.
Then Vance had the nerve to show up and lecture us on our own doorstep.
What was our response?
"Please don't hurt us."
This week we see a slow procession of European leaders making a pilgrimage to Mad King Don's court for a humiliation session.
Pardon my French but “fuck it” it’s time to stand up and tell Trump “fuck it now” if that were me. I would have told him to take back his air bases and cancel all military contracts for supplying arms.
If he wants to access Ukrainian useful kopalines, then it's normal.
Ukraine has no debt to the United States.
They just have to thank a grateful nation.
There was no credit deal.
If he wants the rights to useful drugs, then provide a package of weapons as an advance for future income.
Leave the deal on the table for a week, and if it is not signed, cancel the deal. Then they will get nothing, and besides, they will not accept any applications from American companies for the recovery of Ukraine after the war.
That's what the art of the deal is all about.
Regarding NATO allies,
Trump is going anyway, so Europe needs to act NOW.
Seize Russian assets and use the means to launch a European military-industrial base. It will create jobs and growth while capacities will be expanded in all countries with weapons manufacturing capacity.
At the same time, we already have the opportunity, especially if Poland is stepping up, to defend against any Russian aggression that has increased.
The British military has already said that if necessary, we would meet this threat face-to-face today.
If this collective approach is adopted, the Russian army in Ukraine could be crushed just as the Iraqi army in Desert Storm.
It's time to show Americans that their services are no longer needed.
And when the war is over, we will be able to promote the euro as a new world reserve currency.
Ambition does no harm, I say.
We need to believe in ourselves.
Time to do the job and show the world FAFO.
There is only one rural idiot in this city, and it's not Zelensky.
I'm making my stand.

BREAKING: A prominent right-wing think tank drops a massive bombshell, reveals that at least 50 Venezuelan men who legally immigrated to the United States were deported to a brutal El Salvadoran prison by Donald Trump.

And it gets so much worse…

“The government calls them all ‘illegal aliens.’ But of the 90 cases where the method of crossing is known, 50 men report that they came legally to the United States, with advanced US government permission, at an official border crossing point,” the Cato Institute wrote in a newly released report.

“The proportion isn’t what matters the most: the astounding absolute numbers are,” the disturbing report continues. “Dozens of legal immigrants were stripped of their status and imprisoned in El Salvador.”

According to the data reviewed by the libertarian organization, at least 50 such men were deported. Worse still, they only reviewed a part of the total data, meaning that the actual head count is likely higher.

Of those 50 individuals, 21 were allowed entry in the U.S. after they presented at a port of entry, 24 were paroled into our nation, 4 came as refugees, and 1 came in a tourist visa.

The report also destroys the MAGA lie that those deported were mostly violent gang members.

“At least 42 were labeled as gang members primarily based on their tattoos, which Venezuelan gangs do not use to identify members and are not reliable indicators of gang membership,” the Cato Institute wrote.

The report states of the deportees who immigrated legally, “only two appear to have had a U.S. criminal conviction of any kind, both for minor drug offenses.”

Since so many of the deportees were detained right before being sent to the Salvadoran prison “there is no possibility that they demonstrated any gang ties or committed any crimes inside the United States.”

This is a horrifying abuse of power by Donald Trump and a flagrant assault on the rule of law. The moment that these MAGA fascists are removed from power they must be put on trial for their crimes. We must hold them accountable for what they’ve done to these innocent people.

:eek:

I get the vague impression if it was ONLY this one thing Trump would have to formally answer for it, BUT
because there are so many of them, he gets away with all of them.

BREAKING: Donald Trump Jr. horrifies decent Americans with a monstrous response to President Joe Biden's aggressive prostate cancer — while lobbing a mocking jab at "fake doctor" Jill Biden in the process.

And it gets even worse...

"What I want to know is how did Dr. Jill Biden miss stage five metastatic cancer or is this yet another coverup???" Don Jr. wrote on X with a quote-tweet of an allegation that Biden covered up his illness.

At a time when the rest of the country is coming together to extend well wishes and prayers to Biden, Republicans are pouncing to spread conspiracy theories and delight in his suffering.

Former First Lady Jill Biden has a doctorate in education, holding a PhD rather than an MD. When a Twitter user pointed out this salient fact, Donald Trump Jr. lashed out again—

"I sometimes forget that part of the mental disorder of leftism is an inability to understand sarcasm," he wrote. "So for the confused libs out there, I'm well aware that Jill Biden is a fake doctor, not a real one...Unlike the Dems who were calling for her to be Surgeon General in 2020
🤡
"

To summarize what's going on here: Donald Trump Jr. is exploiting Joe Biden's tragic illness to mock Dr. Jill Biden's educational background. Cruel doesn't even begin to describe this behavior. This is sadistic, the behavior of a man without a scrap of empathy for his fellow human beings.

Just hours before the hateful posts about Biden's cancer, Donald Trump Jr. shared a polar opposite sentiment, posting a meme that wished Biden a "speedy recovery" and called for putting "politics aside."

Once he realized that the broader MAGA response to the cancer news was far less humane, he adjusted his sails and began spewing the same filth as the rest of the right-wing internet trolls.

Shift's comment: On the "fake doctor" point the fact is that the word "doctor" originates from the Latin word "docere," meaning "to teach." Initially, in the Middle Ages, "doctor" was used to describe scholars and teachers, particularly those with advanced degrees and the ability to instruct others. Subsequently the title was co-opted by MD's among others. So the question that should be asked is "Are MD's Doctors?"

Perhaps the metaphorical basis for the modern meaning of "doctor" is for the learned healthcare expert is to inform the patient of the nature of the illness, and offer relief or remedy.

If "doctor" is a misnomer for our top tier healthcare providers, out-ranking nurses, nurse-practitioners, etc, what improved term for our MDs shall we accept?
 
I have not problems with MD's using the title "Doctor" - my problem is with people that don't (or won't) understand that they're not the only ones who have earned the title.
 

Bruce Springsteen and Why Fascists Hate The Artists​

The artists will lead us.​

This week, Bruce Springsteen took the stage in Manchester, England to begin his European tour, standing alone, silhouetted in white spotlights.

And as he has done thousands of times over the past half-century and change, he delivered the sermon of a denim-clad prophet of moral clarity:

The mighty E Street Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock ’n’ roll in dangerous times. In my home, the America I love, the America I’ve written about, that has been a beacon of hope and liberty for 250 years, is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration.

Springsteen then implored the crowd to “raise your voices against authoritarianism and let freedom ring!” before introducing his song Land of Hope and Dreams.

The story the global media has run with since that moment has been Trump’s asinine, rambling, desperate social media response, one that fully illustrates how onion-skin his ego is and how incapable of self-control he is. That Trump’s nonsensical and threatening diatribe perfectly validates Springsteen’s warning is indeed important to remind the world of.

And yes, it’s also worth mentioning the wholesale meltdown of millions of alleged MAGA fans of The Boss, whose shouts of boycotts and bans underscores their complete cultic fervor to Trump—while loudly declaring they haven’t paid attention to anything Bruce Springsteen has said, done, or sung for the past 60 years.

But the real story here is ....

I doubt that's from educated persons. Ignore it. They are to be pitied. Their ignorance is an obstacle to themselves.

I imagine doctorate level education is an accomplishment which only a small fraction of one percent of the population ever achieve. BUT !
That's only the prestige aspect.
It doesn't address the superiority of capability, starting with superior communication skills. It obviously goes far beyond that.
I'm grateful to the experts I rubbed elbows with, for passing along to me the fundamentals of applied statistics. The bell-curve is a frequent tool I overlay on daily living for more constructive understanding.

AND:
- A prioritization of their own avarice at the expense of needy others. Is Musk, called the wealthiest man in the world, not helping Trump provide tax breaks to the wealthy by starving the poor?
- It's also a deliberate swindle, a broken promise.

"I am going to take care of everybody. I don't care if it costs me votes or not. Everybody's gunna be taken care of much better than they're taken care of now." Candidate Trump 15/09/27 to CBS Scott Pelly

"You're going to have such great healthcare at a tiny fraction of the cost." candidate Trump 16/10/25 from campaign podium

"Nobody knows the system better than me." "Which is why I alone can fix it." presidential candidate Trump 16/07/21

“Nobody knew that healthcare could be so complicated.” President Trump

? Every Trump policy comes with its opposite. They deport legal immigrants while claiming to target criminals. They dismantle surveillance oversight after condemning it. They promise billion-dollar defense systems with no plans. They say "don’t fuck around with Medicaid" while pushing laws that gut healthcare.It’s not chaos. It’s the familiar pattern of public theater and private demolition of democratic guardrails.

Do something about it, but first call your rep and senators to tell them you do not want them to support Trump's budget bill.

BREAKING: Donald Trump goes full meltdown mode inside the Oval Office like he did with President Zelensky — ranting to the South African president about white genocide, waving around photos, and playing a jaw-dropping video.

It doesn't get any worse than this...

"Mr. President, what would it take for you to be convinced that there's no 'white genocide' in South Africa?" a reporter asked Trump.

Republicans have been pushing the "white genocide" narrative and recently used it to justify granting refugee status to at least 49 Afrikaners who claimed to be fleeing racial violence and seizure of white-owned land.

Such claims have been repeatedly debunked, but conservatives love casting white people as victims to help cover up their own racist policies against minorities.

"Well I can answer that for the president," interjected South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. "No seriously."

"I'd rather have him answer," said Trump.

"It will take President Trump listening to the voices of South Africans some of whom are his good friends like those who are here," said Ramaphosa. "When we have talks between us around a quiet table it will take President Trump to listen to them."

"I'm not going to be repeating what I've been saying. I would say if there was Afrikaner farmer genocide, I can bet you these three gentlemen would not be here including my Minister of Agriculture," he continued. "They would not be with me. So it'll take him, President Trump, listening to their stories, to their perspective. That is the answer to your question."

It was then that Trump sprang his ambush.

"But Mr. President, I must say that— No, no, wait," Trump said as a reporter tried to get a question in. "We have thousands of stories talking about it and we have documentaries we have, uh, new stories... Is Natalie here? Is somebody here to turn that— I could show you a couple things and I would... I just... I have to... It has to be responded to."

"Let me see the articles please, if you would, and turn the lights down. Turn the lights down and just put this on. It's right behind you," said Trump.

His staff then played an inflammatory video of Julian Malema, leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters party, in which Malema called on his radical supporters to "kill the farmer" and "kill the Boer."

Such clips have spread like wildfire through the right-wing media sphere as evidence of the supposed "white genocide" despite the fact that Malema is a fringe figure with no real political power.

"We have a multi party democracy in South Africa that allows people to express themselves, political parties to adhere to various policies," explained Ramaphosa.

"And in many cases, or in some cases, those policies do not go along with government policy. Our government policy is completely, completely against what he was saying, even in the Parliament, and they're a small minority party which is allowed to exist in terms of our Constitution," he added.

Trump's staff played more footage and he spoke over it while Ramaphosa sat there quietly, subjected to the stunningly deranged and disrespectful performance.

"These are burial sites right here... Burial sites," claimed Trump. "Over a thousand of white famers and those cars are lined up to pay love on a Sunday morning. Each one of those white things you see is a cross. And there's approximately a thousand of them. They're all white farmers, the families of white farmers."

"And those cars aren't driving. They're stopped there to pay respects to their family member who was killed," continued Trump. "Uh and it's a terrible sight. I've never seen anything like it. Both sides of the road you have crosses. Those people were all killed."

"Have they told you where that is Mr. President?" asked Ramaphosa. "I'd like to know where that is because this I've never seen."

"I mean it's in South Africa," insisted Trump, providing no evidence for his outlandish claim.

Trump was then asked by a reporter what he would like President Ramaphosa to do about "the situation."

"I don't know. I don't know! Uh... Look these are articles over the last few day," said Trump, brandishing pictures and articles. "Death of people. Death... Death... Death... Horrible death... Death... I don't know. Pick any one."

"White South Africans are fleeing because of the violence and racist laws and this is all..." he continued. "I'll give these to you. So when you say what would I like to do? I don't know what to do. Look at this: 'White South African couple say that they were attacked violently.'"

"Mr. Trump when will you go and see for yourself?" asked a reporter.

"Well, I could do that," said Trump. "Look here's burial sites all over the place. These are all white farmers that are being buried and he asks about a jet that was given. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. You know you are so bad. You're such a bad reporter," he added, lashing out a journalist who asked a question earlier about the $200 million Qatari jet bribe.

Ultimately though, Ramaphosa got the last laugh.

"We need an Air Force One until our— So that's Air Force One it's being built. Two of them being built but Boeing's a little bit late unfortunately," said Trump, ranting about the Qatari plane. "So why do they give us a plane, to the United States Air Force? That's what that idiot talks about after viewing a thing where thousands of people are dead."

"I am sorry I don't have a plane to give you," joked Ramaphosa with a laugh.

"I wish you did. I'd take it. I would take it. If your country offered the United States Air Force a plane, I would take it," said Trump.

"Okay," said a Ramaphosa clearly exasperated.

At this point, there's no greater indictment of Donald Trump than the words that come out of his own mouth. Not only is he humiliating the United States by ranting and raving at foreign leaders, he's publicly admitting his own corruption. If bribes are offered, he'll take them.

We should all be counting down the days until we have an adult back in the White House.
