70% of swedes are now negative towards USA and 10% are positive, compared to two years ago when they were equal, public service media in Sweden reports.

Not a chocker, really, but keep in mind that Sweden is one of the most USA-loving/Americanised countries in Europe.

It's an older reference, sir, but it checks out.

Did Greenland give them permission to bring a troop deployment or did Trump/Vance ignore that? Could be interpreted as an act of war and since the US is still part of NATO, it has to declare war on itself.

I believe there is a space force/airforce base there.

Half of us have lost their freaking minds. They don't want to be fact checked on their ******** theories and statements. Now the bigger social media outlets have caved in and no longer correct the lunatics that post there. It's now this bizarro world that I thought I would never live to see and yet here we are and it just gets weirder and weirder every day.

"unnatural"

Because brining olives before pressing them or rendering animal fat are such natural processes.

It's just the anti-vax grift repurposed.

So when Trump orders an invasion of Greenland, how are Americans likely to react to that?

They will most likely go off the deep end and start attacking with weaponry and force...

Lol, Vance hanging out with his doofus guy Lance...

The White House continues to wage war against anyone who dares have a DEI program for hiring, going after Disney again...

Disney faces US investigation over DEI practices

The probe is part of a wider crackdown on diversity and inclusion practices by the Trump administration.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

It appears the White House has actually taken it's war efforts global... or as global as it can right now.

The FCC's investigation into Disney also comes amid a wider crackdown on DEI practices by the Trump administration, with impacts felt beyond the US.

French companies with US government contracts received a letter from the American embassy in France this week, asking them to sign on and comply with Trump's executive order banning DEI programmes.

The order, the letter said, "applies to all suppliers and service providers of the US government, regardless of their nationality and the country in which they operate."

I assume doing business with countries that partake in child-labor and slave-labor are still good though, right? Countries that have DEI programs are the real/only problem.

Will American citizens stand idly by while you invade other countries?

Probably not, but there's also a limit to how far most people will put themselves in harm's way for people in other countries. America has already shown that it will arrest, deport or jail people on a whim and without trial. How much does the common person want to risk getting disappeared just for the chance to attempt to oppose their governments decisions.

There's also the fact that frankly, America is used to being in "wars" with other countries. Invading other countries is not a problem for the US. It might be a problem if they pick a target that has broad opposition, like Greenland, but even then they might get away with it. With the amount of people who are willing to be violently anti-Palestine, I have no doubt that the White House could propaganda their way into sufficient support for an invasion of Greenland if they had to. Make up some bollocks about China hiding weapons of mass destruction there or something.

Anyone still remember “Nazi” Ukraine from Putler? Yep, that’s US right now. Fox News is basically Russian propaganda TV as well.

Generally the US seems to have done it to force American interest in other counties where you could argue there already was conflict fomenting - this would just be a land grab, plain and simple.

It's interesting to me. Like, I don't hate Russians because of Putin, and I don't hate Americans because of Trump, but the level of genuine support for Trump in the USA, does make me feel (wrongly perhaps) that your average American will be more complicit in any conflict that arises from all this, and that pisses me off and saddens me in equal measure.

Plenty of us hate Trump and wish for him to no longer be president. The problem is that he bathes himself in patriotism so being anti-Trump sometimes feels like being anti-American. USA has not had a war fought on its shores since before Trump was born, so many of those hawks don't know what it will entail.

Yeah, but America did arrive at a Trump Presidency, twice, via reasonable democratic process. I know Trump doesn't represent all Americans, but he is representative of what the country stands for in a way that many war-mongering nations run by dictators aren't.

I don't know, I'm not making a hill to die on here, I'm trying to figure out why I feel so much more animous towards the USA now than I have done other countries. I have an American aunt, I've stayed with Trump voters whilst in the USA and they were lovely people, some of my best friends in the UK vote diametrically opposite to me... so I don't feel this is just intolerance of people I disagree with, America just feels fundamentally wrong right now.
 
Doubleplusgood message, Pete.



Of course they're not. They're literally, definitionally, a tax. Like you can make an argument that tariffs are good or that tariffs are ultimately to the benefit of those to whom the added cost is passed, the consumers, but saying that tariffs are tax cuts is just lying.

Bookmark this the next time a Pastor or conservative gets caught with kids. Straight to the punishment phase, do not collect due process.

I mean, it's also on FOX News. You're only allowed to tell the truth as long as there are 4 other dip ***** with you; 1 to argue against you, 2 to laugh and talk over how you're a silly lib, and 1 to stay quiet so it doesn't look like a complete dog pile.
