"No more beating around the bush. It's not enough anymore to say @realDonaldTrump's starting to show signs of mental decline. Say it out loud! Donald Trump is already totally bonkers!"

"For Trump, making Greenland his latest property acquired is not just another real estate deal, it’s an absolute obsession. He talks about it every day. He insists he’ll buy it, even though both Denmark and Greenland contend it’s not for sale." My column.
For Trump, life’s a game of monopoly
Donald Trump is obsessed with acquiring Greenland as his latest property, despite Denmark and Greenland both contending it is not for sale, and the U.S. already having unlimited access to the area …

Can the DOJ ever recover from the ravages of Donald Trump, Pam Bondi and his personal lawyers in top positions? And what about the MAGA article of faith that Biden weaponized the DOJ to get Trump?

Do we still have a Department of Justice? Under Donald Trump and Pam Bondi Justice does not seem to be much on the menu. Trump's grievances and agendas are. More on today's Bill Press Pod.

Why did it take so damn long to begin investigating @realDonaldTrump's role in January 6th. The DOJ said on January 7th that they would. But they did not. Stunning. @byaaroncdavis.bsky.social reveals why, on today's Bill Press Pod.

The Oxford Dictionary identifies five values which build and shape good moral character: honesty, integrity, respect, responsibility, and kindness. None of them are values one would associate with Trump.
It all depends on Trump’s ‘own morality’
In an interview with the New York Times, President Trump surprisingly claimed that his own morality is the only thing that could limit his global power, despite his lack of honesty, integrity, resp…

Late today @realDonaldTrump attacked the Premier of Greenland. If his obsession with owning everything keeps going and he attacks Greenland, I asked @Cirincione what would happen to NATO.

And let's not forget Marco Rubio's obsession with overthrowing the regime in Cuba. Could he be leading Trump to another Mafia-like move in Havana?

While trying to understand Donald Trump's "plans" for Venezuela and Greenland, don't sleep on Iran. It's massively destabilized right now and Trump says we are "locked and loaded." What could an intervention look like?

Not good that Donald Trump has no use for history, expertise, facts. So he's blowing up the peaceful world order set in motion after WWII by FDR. @joecirin.bsky.social knows history, has decades of experience and brings the facts.

"The essence of the Trump regime: Might makes right. We have the power and we have the right to exercise it anyhow, anywhere, any time we want - against perceived enemies - regardless of the law - and by violence, if necessary. For him, violence is good."

"Rather than condemn Trump’s refusal to consult Congress before going to war, as required by the Constitution and the War Powers Act, Republican leaders have again simply rolled over. Johnson and Thune both hailed the Venezuela operation as 'decisive.'"
Who needs Congress? Might as well shut it down.
President Trump’s takeover of Venezuela and seizure of Nicolas Maduro is a flagrant violation of international law, and Congress has failed to take any action to stop it.

We talk a lot about Donald Trump acting like a gangster and using his power over American businesses for his own enrichment. But maybe, just maybe, the top 1% are using him to get what they want.

Even though Trump smartly (and it turns out falsely) rejected endless wars and nation building during the campaign, the neocons and military interventionists of the Bush years just might recognize the new Trump Foreign "Policy."

Faiz Shakir @faiz.bsky.social is a former aide to Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, who ran Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign. He says Democrats need to do more than just stop the Trump madness. They must offer more than the return to the status quo.

While Trump's bullying has often been effective, there is a least one organization that will not cave: The New York Times. @peterbakernyt.bsky.social , himself a target, has some thoughts on why others have been susceptible to the lawsuits.

What happens when a schoolyard bully becomes the President of the United States? According to Susan Glasser, @sbg1.bsky.social , it's turned our to be remarkably effective. With some cowardly billionaires as well.
