Funny how the right is outraged at Fanone flipping off a congressman just days after celebrating a president flipping off a working American .

The guy who called Jack Smith a "deranged animal" today has gone on social media 184 times to publicly called Jack Smith "deranged".

Jack Smith has gone on social media ZERO times to insult or comment on Donald Trump.

Who sounds "deranged" to you?

🇫🇮 Stubb: I don't agree with the narrative that claims Russia is winning militarily.

Over the past 1,000 days, Russia has advanced by 1% of Ukrainian territory. The cost of that advance has been 1,000 dead soldiers per day — about 30,000 per month. These figures refer to the dead, not the wounded.

Jack Smith: "My fear is that we have seen the rule of law function in our country for so long that many of us have come to take it for granted. The rule of law is not self-executing. It depends on our collective commitment to apply it."

Doug Wahl: "When Trump arrived in Davos there was no one there to greet him. No world leaders, no delegation, no band, no pomp-and-circumstances. He was all alone. And still MAGA believes we have never been more respected on the world stage."

🇺🇦🇪🇺 Zelensky: Just last year, here in Davos, I ended my speech with the words, “Europe needs to know how to defend itself.” A year has passed, and nothing has changed…

Whistleblowers just shared a memo showing DHS instructing ICE to force their way into peoples' houses without a proper warrant. Why is this not on all the networks right now? This is a criminal conspiracy to violate rights under color of law.

Question. If Joe Biden called Greenland, “Iceland” four times…. What would the right be saying?

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

NEW: Republican member of Congress Anna Paulina Luna cuts a Greenland-shaped cake with a US flag on it in Davos today.

Wondering who is with her? That’s European far right leader, George Simion, the man backed by Putin to take control of Romania’s government.

The US is a joke internationally.

Just as everyone predicted with the exception of Donald Trump, Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, and Kevin Hassett. The last 3 knew they’ve been lying, not sure with Orange Caligula because he’s a moron and a liar so in his case it could be either one or both.

Elon Musk is donating $10 million to a Republican primary candidate in Kentucky.

That’s more money than the vast majority of Americans will ever see — much less donate.

Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

Some perspective: The S&P opened down -1.3% on Trump's Greenland saber-rattling. That's $750 billion of wealth destroyed -- roughly equal to estimates of the value of Greenland.

And so ~in dollar terms~ his shenanigans have already cost the US one Greenland, and we've got nothing to show for it.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.
