I fully believe this is their plan.

Here's the playbook: Be a criminal. Get into office. Before you're indicted, go all out with your wildest madness.

It's more than just "a" lunatic. It's the people he answers to that are money and power hungry.

yea, there is much to say, isn't there? The point of my comment was "please stop him" someone, somehow. Or maybe he'll just double his intake of MacDonald's?

This doesn’t strike me as odd because the game plan for this misadministration has been annihilation from the very first day. Marauding through the CSA coverup with the express intention of wiping away any positive progress of 250 years of government while they rake in record profits from outright grift, bribery and fraud. The rules literally don’t apply anymore. He’s been given the keys to the city, DC is Gotham, and he’s Borat on meth, king of the castle. He’s never identified as a common American so why are we expecting him to act like that’s worth protecting at any cost? He’s going to use the US military like it’s a toy army. With reckless abandon and utter contempt. Even when our sons, daughters, mothers, fathers and whoever else he deems expendable are on the chopping block. Sociopathic authoritarian despot dressed in a girdle and suit. Wielding the executive branch like a club, unchecked and unbalanced.

He's only an asset, its the nut jobs (yes much worse than Trump!) in the background who scare me, like the largest Zion family of the Rothschild etc., who are pulling the strings, the silent elites.

This Trump has lost his mind, and he has one of the worst staff ever in the United States history.

There really isn't a safe spot on this planet to live without some money hungry A-hole ready to screw things up. It's all about resources. If these people could charge us for breathing air, they would.

The smiles on these assholes makes me want to loose it. Really. Shaun, how many Dems are publicly OUTRAGED? Not many as I see it. Of course Bernie is. Oh that’s right, Congress is on vacation, like some class of fucking kindergarten kids! I’m past sick of it.

It’s the scariest thing of all because what enormous power does this man have, this con man this hustler this PT Barnum wanna be have over virtually the entire United States Congress???!!!. They can’t all be pedophiles but is there one unifying force is there one unified field theory that would make sense of all this or and I don’t want to take a philosophical spiritual stand on everything, but is this really all the proof we need that there is indeed a devil.

Of course he does because he’s a wanted criminal trying to throw up a smoke screen. He’s just so willing to take us all down with him! How wonderful of our leadership to take the entire country down with him just because he’s losing his personal battles and drowning in debts of all kind!

And how sweet of our leaders to let him do it!

OMFG each day, sometimes hours just gets more unbelievable!

He's diverting another major factor, the pending attack on Iran. I'm hoping by the time I wake in a few hours they've not bomb Iran! If they have I'm praying Iran wipes Israel off the map, they've got nothing to lose!

Europe has also been receiving a lot of arms recently after the European idiots visited America and spoke to the nut job Zionist puppet!

Then the American (definitely not Ukrainian!) warning hit on the Russian military base (not Putin's home!)... too many factors coming into play. I'm praying the Rothschild, Rockefeller, Adelsons, Trump, StarVer, Macron etc., are all wiped out. 🙏🏽

The saddest part of all this is the blatant abuse of our military personnel. These are people that are not just put into the line of duty for his selfish behavior. But now increased risk in general because of his actions. We already saw it with our national guard member, Sarah Beckstrom. May she rest in peace. If we don’t recognize the weight of the Loser in Chief’s behavior she may have died in vain. Senior Airman Aaron Bushnell suffered self immolation because of what we allow to continue.

Our military is not a set of pawns for some idiot that gets elected. I feel everyone agrees on this. They are being abused and it’s gone on for too long. It’s disgusting and disturbed. Where did our pride for our troops go?

Under the law, they are supposed to not obey unlawful orders. It is part of the deal; a heavy burden, but that was what they signed up for.

Definitely not what they signed up for. This is stupidity and an abuse of power. I disagree entirely. They have been put into a terrible situation. I don’t know if you have loved ones in service but I’m disappointed with how they’re being used. I will say again they are not pawns, they are people.

The poor judgement and choices of our government is placing unnecessary burden on our service members. It’s that simple.

I work in customer service and that doesn’t give my boss or customers the right to put me into “service” scenarios that are poorly designed and place me in unnecessary danger.

Just because danger is part of the job, doesn’t give anyone the right to send them into a made up war for no good reason. This is repeated history and it’s foolish to do it again and again. I’m not going to sit back and say “well that’s the job they chose” while there’s still opportunity to NOT send them to certain death. Because there will be death. And what exactly is the reason? And can I trust the people making the plan? The answers to those questions I already know. The reason is redundant. And no we cannot trust the people making the plan.

Hard disagree. That’s just how I feel about my service members and troops. We don’t pay them enough and we don’t take care of them when they come. We can’t ask them to do this.

The Short Austrian and his underlings took this road and got away with a few (thanks to 'the West' not wanting to confront them, Russia did, until 'the West' supported his taking Czechoslovakia, at which point Russia also signed a deal...but unlike the rest started bulking up for the inevitable)

But what happens when China weaponizes these https://news.cgtn.com/news/2026-01-05/China-tests-fire-fighting-drone-controlled-1-500-km-away-1JGvHj38X9m/p.html and starts shipping container loads of them and these https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/china-jiutian-drone-mothership-first-flight to Brazil?

They are all dangerous. Vance is Peter Thiel’s protege. He left Thiel’s Securities Firm to run for the Senate in OH. Thiel bankrolled his campaign for the Senate & vice president. Thiel also bankrolled Project 2025. Thiel & Musk grew up in apartheid South Africa. They founded PayPal together, Musk was here illegally for 7 yrs while they did it. They obviously brought investment money with them. Everyone is aware Musk helped bankroll Trump’s last campaign to the tune of $250 million. Not to mention his Million dollar Raffles to Trump supporters & $40 Ponzi scheme for signing up voters. Thiel bought an Island of the coast golf Honduras, Musk literally has his own town in TX. They did not name it Muskville, that would have been just to delicious 😂😂😂. Musk's company town in Texas is named Starbase, a type-C municipality formed in May 2025, primarily comprising SpaceX employees and their families near the Boca Chica launch site, functioning as both a SpaceX hub and a small community with its own governance and zoning. Another Musk-related development near Austin involves Snailbrook, housing Tesla, Boring Co., and Ad Astra Academy.  One of the mothers of Musk’s children, (Grimes), has declared she will die on Mars once her children & grand children do not need her anymore. These elite women do not even carry their own children to term, they use surrogates. Yet they would have you believe they are lining up to make the sacrifices necessary to travel to & reside on Mars, 😂😂😂😂😂😂 as though it were a trip to Dubai. We do not build cities in Antarctica or the ocean, because to do so would destroy the earth’s environment & the conditions necessary for life on the rest of the planet😂😂😂😂😂. We are not going to Mars. We are not sending a space ship filled to the brim with females, vials of Musk’s sperm, turkey basters & a few hearty grandmothers, (Vance’s idea), to establish a population of “millions” on Mars. They are suffering from illusions of grandeur, like our current president and vice president😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Vance plans on inheriting our country, Project 2025 & Turning Point from Trump.  Empire building is a theme for all these men and apparently none of them feel any loyalty to anything but their own grandiosity.

Trump & the current republican apparatus, use the same strategy over and over, here with local governing officials & abroad. He ignores the established elected government officials & their diplomatic channels overriding their authority and engages with some outside alternative group. Such as Nigel Farage in the UK, ignoring Zelensky in the Ukraine & only recognizing & negotiating with Putin, trying to influence public policy in Greenland & routinely ignores our duly elected government representatives in the cities & states here in the USA, with tactics comparable to a house invasion or car jacking.

Trump's need to ink, "Kilroy was Here" on everything. Like a dog lifting his leg marking his territory with his scent. So visceral and primitive. Like the bully on the playground, with his sycophants, demanding all the marbles, everyone else stands around looking at the ground. The music stops.

A football game where the police show up & arrest any member of the opposition who dared to pick up the football

Only his team can run up & down the field. It is illegal for the opposing team to attempt to participate in the game. They are just there as props to be humiliated by him & his cronies, uhh I mean teammates

They wait for him at the goal line, he

slowly lumbers into the stadium, toilet paper stuck to his shoe, they direct him to the goal line, he asks which side he should stand on, he steps across the line, someone hands him the football, he lifts it into the air, they play a sound track of the crowds roaring, he hands the football back to one of his aides, uhh I mean team members, they hand him a warmed damp towel to wipe off his hands, he pirouettes & waves to the crowd, then turns & walks off the field to return to his limo, the opposing team is escorted off the field by armed guards. He declares another glorious victory. His limo moves on to the next photo op.
