Approval ratings are the only reason Bovino (Porcino) would have been transferred. Not ethics. Not criticism. Not job performance. Himmler was Himmlering.
But approval ratings dipped. That's it. The only reason.

Bovino might be moved on, but there are 1000s more like him to transition in. Watch that space closely.
While Miller remains the string-puller in chief, there will just continue to be a steady stream of Himmlers fanning out across the US.

It is a completely unavoidable conclusion that the US is now formally a fascist state. As tragic as that is.

Did Trump really just say you can walk from Iran to Qatar? And in mere seconds? If he did, wow, what a schmuck.

Not sure why everyone is not yet calling Bovino, Porcino. Is it not more apt?

So, actually Capitol Police should have shot all the Jan 6 rioters as they were criminals carrying guns and therefore perfectly viable targets for killing.

US slaps tariffs on Canada, so Canada buys fewer US cars and more Chinese ones, which cuts US car exports, so US hits Canada with 100% more tariffs — all so Washington can tax Americans more for buying American cars. My head hurts.

Buy European.
Solidarity is our only way through the trade violence of the US. We face recession.

The EU's Anti-Coercion Instrument must be applied yesterday, targeting US' big tech and finance. Movement of US citizens into Europe must be limited. If we do not retaliate HARD to bullying, we lose every time. No time for dialogue now.

Tariffs levied on the EU, for not giving Greenland to the US, is going to cost US consumers 10% at first, and 25% in June. On top of tariffs already in place from 2025. For those who don't understand how tariffs work, it means US consumers will be paying billions for the US not getting Greenland. 🙄

Highly like Trump's threats re Greenland are "khuligan bargaining". You demand something outrageous backed with threats. Victim pays you something to shut you up. You walk away with more than you had to start with.
It is how Putin negotiates. Birds of a feather...

Polls show ~70 million Americans support US attack on Greenland and NATO allies.

Lots of polls out there showing opposition (+-75% to US taking Greenland by force. And support 25%.
But what that tells me is around 70 million Americans want to attack allies and invade Greenland.
70 million filthy, pustulous, odious arseholes.

Just for accuracy, Greenland is not in the EU; it withdrew many years ago. Although maybe wishing they had stayed. Like Britain.

I read 75% of US-ians don't want to go to war with their long-time allies over Greenland.
Don't celebrate too soon.
25% is a fuck lot of arseholes, who clearly forget every NATO member coming to the aid of the US after 9/11 (Article 5 was triggerd) in those stupid, illegal wars. F...ing douchebags.
