So... You take a prison which:

  • Generates $60M yearly from being currently a museum;
  • Needs serious rebuilding and modernization;
  • Needs a way to be supplied with safe water, plus constant deliveries of all other necessities, likely by boat.

And you get:

  • A prison which generates little to no revenue, while needing to be kept functioning.
  • Only has its name and somber history going in its favor, because "prisoners should be afraid of the historic evil prison".

Yes. Brilliant idea. Hopefully by the time the prison is ready Trump and his cronies get to be the first "tenants". And whoever comes next declares the prison closed again and leaves them rotting there.

US could do that, sure.

But I bet it'd quickly find out just how much of its power, safety and bravado is due to being located in a geographically safe and isolated area with no real hostile armies trying to end them from the other side of the border.

Just how much of that willingness to fight comes from invading foreign underdeveloped territories across the sea, with little chance for the fight to make its way back to US cities and US civilians.

Easy to start fights from the comfort of a distant home, sending only military lives into the far away battlefield.

Something Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East can't claim, as they have to contend with potentially bad neighbors due to all sorts of reasons.

Go ahead, poke the bear, FAFO.

If not Nazi, why Sieg Heil-shaped? 🙄

On a completely unrelated topic, just look at Hitler sending his heart out to his people, how heartwarming.

I was under the impression he was an expert on due process. Like, no one knew due process as well as him. I could swear many people also praised him for it, and that no one had more due processes than Trump.

Heck, the guy knows more about poping than the Pope, so much he'd make the greatest Pope in history.

I'm really starting to think this Trump guy might not be that flawless a human like he claims all the time. 🧐

I really wouldn't, even though it's not my fight.

Harris was not the answer before, it won't be now. If the Democrat party still hasn't reached the obvious conclusion why they lost to such a pitiful opponent as Trump, then America is truly doomed since the only choices are Dumb and Dumber. Or who's the lesser evil.

There's a reason why many people did not vote for either party, which ultimately gave Trump the needed edge to win.

Keep the word salads, empty buzzwords and lack of accountability, keep the flashy fanfare, the cheap insults, and the over-the-top celebrity endorsements, keep showing the people how big and wasteful your show is while they starve on food stamps, keep hiding Biden's mental state while he's in office, keep underestimating and mocking the other side instead of breaking the cycle and actually leading by example. No wonder Trump simply had to tell the people he'd lower prices and end suffering and people gobbled it up knowing it came from the orange nepo baby fraudster, because they were that much desperate.

Keep showing you're part of the problem and not the solution, and then wonder why people don't see an obvious choice as to who is better for them.

Trump is not planning on ending this 2nd mandate, that much is obvious. But if you can get him out by any means it may take, it won't be that long before another Trump eventually makes its way into power.

Show why you're better, don't limit yourself to tell people why the other side sucks. They already know that much, and they're desperate for something better beyond appearance.

And anyone blindly defending the democrats just because the republicans are worse this time, instead of expecting them to do better, are part of the problem just as much as MAGA.

Right move. He really thinks everyone's as stupid as he is, or his supporters.

Not that he won't press the matter further, or even try to do it anyway if he sees the chance.

The only appropriate response to someone who is used to take others by force is a complete rejection and threat of painful consequences, since that's what savage Neanderthals respond to. Give an inch, he'll take Mexico whole.

Yup, as much as possible.

Basically "the US is hitting us hard, so we'll instead hit other countries in order to appease to US consumers". To me they're contributors to the problem, plain and simple.

You could elect a cabinet composed exclusively of orange cats united by a single and solitary shared braincell, and they wouldn't be as idiotic.

They'd be idiotic, for sure. They'd be entertaining as well. But at least they wouldn't be malignantly idiotic.

If it was the other way around he'd never let Carney hear the end of it - "Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat".

Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.

I'm sure Vance would definetly know. He has his home TV, after all.

You can just tell he and the rest of Trump's cheerleaders are trying to undo any progress made during the Vatican meeting.

"Mr. President, don't fall for their manipulation, this war will never end, they wanna take us for a ride". You just know it.

Start giving Trump what he wants and he'll just take, take, take until there's nothing left.

And when we're in a worse position than if we had stood our ground he'll just label EU a sucker and go about his day.

Never give in to bullies. Even China knows that.

 

My DUI guy out there being lambasted by these nasty people and their evidence of his incompetence and dishonesty... What has the world come to? /s

 
  • Ukraine is getting the upper hand against Russian invasion with help from allies (including Biden Admin)

Trump Admin enters the chat:

  • Calls Zelensky a dictator
  • Says Ukraine "shouldn't have started the war"
  • Humiliates Zelensky before the world in Oval Office
  • Lies about Europe sending less aid than the US towards Ukraine
  • Profits by reinvesting a big percentage of the war aid in replenishing its own arsenal from donating nearly defunct weapons and replacing them with cutting edge gear, but claims it's being taken advantage of
  • Begins talks with Russia without Ukraine present
  • Undermines Zelensky by attempting to manipulate his political opposition behind the scenes
  • Says Ukraine better be "ready to lose some land"
  • Implies they could shut off starlink support "if they wanted to"
  • Cuts off aid packages and strategic intel, costing Ukraine their bargaining chip in Kursk
  • Starts a trade war with the whole planet, applying tariffs on everyone except for Russia and its allies
  • Attempts to extort Ukraine for 50% of its minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing
  • Signals Russia that the US is ready to cozy up to them and lift sanctions
  • Bails on Ukraine after realizing "this is harder than it seemed"

Boy, what went wrong? They did everything right since they took office. /s /s /s

Some people are much more valuable staying the heck away on what they're clearly unqualified for, than with this kind of "help".
