Yeah but I don't think the Nobel committee will look on it favourably

it's not a very good deep state if they allow themselves to get sidelined this easily.

Derp state more like

I think he thinks that if he withdraws aid and info from Ukraine and Russia smash their army and conquer the country then it will be peace and it will be credited to him.

They withdrew the aid for reasons already mentioned and they're having peace talks very soon, so no time for Russia to turn the whole place over

The White House are trying to wave away talk of a recession atm and Trump's just disbanded a couple of the committees which provided stats on GDP and inflation...

wonder if the markets will defeat him or if thats just wishful thinking

living in london everyone you talk to rents and lives on tinned spaghetti hoops. living in sydney was the first time i realised a lot of people have their money tied up in stocks and are very vulnerable to market fluctuations, in sydney they read the business pages like we read the sports pages. it was an eye opener.

Our resident bootlickers will find some way to spin this into a "massive win", I'm sure.

The reasons given were obviously spurious though, even you know that.

What do we think of this Khalil Mahmoud thing? Seems that he is a pro-Palestine activist with a green card and ICE arrested him without a warrant, the admin has revoked his green card without due process and tried to deport him despite having being accused of no crime, let alone convicted of one, just vaguely described him as "antisemitic" - a judge has blocked the deportation for the moment but that doesn't tend to last. Actions not entirely consistent with supporting free speech or the constitution in general I guess.

I think that's what he thinks, but I'm not sure it's really true. Or true any more.

That's why I said "even you know that"

 

[IdleRich]

He believes in the basic ideology obviously but a lot of what he says to justify it he can't really think.

He should have just done a Hitler salute to show that he's an honest-to-goodness, MAGA-aligned normal person, and in no way an antisemite.

you can just accuse anyone of being a member of hamas and detain and deport them. in germany i am predicting concentration camps where they will exterminate antisemitic jews.

“People in Israel gotta understand something: The number one enemy to the people in Israel are American Jews that do not support Israel and do not support MAGA,” Bannon said in a weekend interview. “Okay? MAGA”

You can do that in Germany or in the US?
Apparently that guy in the US was reported to ICE by a pro-Israel organisation that is itself actually on lists as a hate group (the only Jewish one in the US apparently).
