Trump appears to have leaked a private text message from Emmanuel Macron.

Why would any leader ever trust someone who leaks their private conversations?

People are focused on "Make Heaven More CROWDED," suggesting that more people need to die.

But the slogan also underscores how Christian Nationalists fail to think through their theology. Heaven can only become more crowded if their supposedly all-powerful God lacks the power to expand it.

French President Macron, in what appears to have been a private text to President Trump, posted by Trump on his Truth Social account:

“We are totally in line on Syria. We can do great things on Iran. I do not understand what you are doing on Greenland.”

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.

Good point. Trump has convinced his cult that he is “America First.” He is Trump First - and that means seeking out corrupt leaders around the world to do business with who run the kind of oligarchic regimes that he envies. Nothing he does overseas benefits average Americans.

So basically Trump’s argument is that he only bothered talking about how much he supposedly wanted peace and performed substance-free publicity stunts to win a prize, but since that didn’t fool anyone he’s not going to bother with that charade anymore and will just invade Europe.

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

2026 is going to be a very dark year for US foreign policy, where everything that was built over many decades by leaders for collective security is torn apart by one madman, but only because people in his own party remain silent.

Sounds like things are going great in Minnesota. Presumably we'll see the local and state police being paraded in zip cuffs shortly

This is where we are at. For what? For nothing. For stupidity. For ego. For an old, demented malignant narcissist who expects the world to jump at his every whim. Well, when you follow international news you can see that the world has pretty much had enough of his bullshit.

WTAF?!
In a letter to multiple European ambassadors today, President Trump says that because Norway failed to give him a Nobel Peace Prize, “I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of peace”

The letter goes on to demand “complete and total control of Greenland.”

Appeasing Trump always produces the opposite result the appeasers are hoping to achieve. There are thousands of examples over decades, but somehow people still don’t get it. Bill Cassidy and Europe found out yesterday. Someone else will find out today, then another tomorrow.

Europe will either stand up to Trump or he will keep using them as his plaything. As long as Macron, Merz et al continue to kiss his ass and appease him, he will continue to treat them like shit. He may treat them like shit either way, but at least they can retain some dignity.

Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

When federal troops and state forces answer to different chains of command in the same city, it raises the risk of confusion, legal conflict, and escalation, especially if their missions diverge. It's almost like Trump wants a civil war.

ICE officers are publicly stating that Renee Good was killed not because an officer was threatened but because they were mad at her for not instantly following every order issued.

The new ICE threat:

"Have you not learned? This is why we killed that lesbian bitch."

Republicans have ceded their constitutional authority over tariffs to Trump voluntarily. They could have ended it at any time. They could end it now. Trump is not on the ballot this Nov, but they are. The only way to stop this daily tariff drama and insanity is to vote them out.

Only the Supreme Court or Republicans in Congress can stop this insanity right now. Which pretty much means we’re fucked.

Trump has transformed the justice system into a Putin-style autocratic protection racket. The wealthy are not audited or investigated, if convicted they are pardoned. Political opponents are targeted. Unidentified masked agents grab people off the street, and protesters are shot.
