I have also developed a whole new appreciation for the word bloviating.

Putin: Deliver or else!

Heâs nuts. The Russian bit ainât the half of it.
Oh, we know Donny, we know.
His exit statements from the G7 meeting were unhingedly disastrous. Daniel Dale has the blow by blow starting here. Also, he showed up 17 minutes late and Trudeau started without him saying âwe donât wait for stragglers.â
Geezus, this guy is an embarrassment.

AhâŚso itâs not Putinâs fault Russia took Crimea, but Obamaâs (which speaks volumes about Trumpâs world view).
[/quote]Obama made Putin take Crimea and have desires to take other parts of Ukraine.
He didnât want to do it but because of Obama he just couldnât help himself.
I think it was the way Obama was dressed. And that when he said ânoâ he really meant âyes.â

âI think it would be an asset to have Russia back in. I think it would
be good for the world. I think it would be good for Russia. I think it
would be good for the United States. I think it would be good for all of
the countries of the current G-7.
I wonder if he can even name all the countries in the G-7âeven being at the G-7 summit!

Trump still is just the symptom, not the disease.
The disease is the Party of True Americans who pioneered flag lapel pins. Where are they in all of this? The Party of McCarthy would never bow to our biggest rival on the planet.
That they arenât speaking up against this patently un-American speech speaks volumes in and of itself.

Look, itâs very simple. Trump wants Russia and the USA to operate as the new Axis Powers, with Israel, the Philippines and other asshole authoritarian states to play the part of Romania, Vichy France, etc. He really wants the USA to be a dark, authoritarian global overlord opposed to the forces of democracy and liberalism. Canada, the EU and (in due course) Japan will be the bad guys. China and Turkey are the wild cards. Trade wars will be waged, followed if necessary by military wars. And letâs face it, an aggressive military alliance of Russia and the United States could pretty much dominate everywhere, since nobody else is going to be crazy enough to deploy their nukes. The national and economic security implications are catastrophic.
I would say that this is bound to fail, because Americans are decent folks, but unfortunately oneâs suspicions that over half the country suffers from a serious case of ignorance, indifference, and moral debasement that comes from being an ultra-consumeristic, ultra-powerful nation have been largely borne out. Iâm not just talking about the GOP base. Iâm talking about the tens of millions of shoulder-shruggers who canât be bothered to vote. Just look at the way we have recently decimated Iraq, Syria, Palestine. These wars canât be effectively criticized without reference to the small number of deaths of US troops. The millions killed or displaced as a result of our actions donât even make it into our discussion of these events. The humanization of other peoples just isnât part of our culture, not even in liberal circles. Trump could blow up Toronto or London and half the country would fall into the spectrum ranging from âFuck em/I donât want to think about it/This is a worry because US troops might get hurt.â
That still leaves around half the country horrified/opposedâand still forced to channel this opposition into talk of domestic healthcare prospects, domestic setbacks, because apparently to point out to people that weâre turning into a full-blown, dark, destructive empire just doesnât move people to concern. We have culture thatâs highly complacent, highly complicit. We wouldnât even fight the Nazis until they bombed Hawaii. We wouldnât end slavery until we fought a civil war.
Iâm not saying that all is lost. Far from it. We still have a lot of smart, active, right-thinking people in this country. Iâm just saying that we have to factor into the resistance, or whatever you want to call it, a certain profound latent human and societal darkness. The atrocious history of humanity applies to us. It always has.

Trump coming in to the meeting disruptively, 17 minutes late. IMF director Christine LaGarde looks, âWTFâ. The other leaders glared at him.

Heâs a blatant, in-your-face asset of Russian military intelligence. Weâre a sick society right now, and we may not make it.

Donât miss the one where Trumpp called NAFTA âa threesome.â
Trump on NAFTA: "We'll either leave it the way it is as a threesome deal with Canada, the United States and Mexico, and change it very substantially..." or separate deals with Canada and Mexico.

No. I believe him. For example, I knew before even thirty seconds that Trump would be a uniquely horrible and despotic President. And, if anything, heâs been worse, much worse.

The general theory is that it was done purposely as one of his little dominance performance art, âhey, look at me, itâs all about meeeâ displays.
Fucking putz.

Bet the guy behind Dotard has his smart phone camera on panoramic view to fully capture the grandeur and expanse of the POTUSASS.
