Trump watches Putin invade Ukraine and Xi posture over Taiwan, and the comparison exposes his insecurity.
So he reaches for Greenland and Venezuela not as strategy but as salve for his ego.
It’s playground politics.

For years, Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has fended off rivals who’ve portrayed him as a “trust fund baby” by presenting himself as an advocate for the working class.
Now, he is using that strategy for what could be his most ambitious political endeavor yet.

Do Democrats need their own billionaire? JB Pritzker is betting on it.

The idea that it’s misconduct for a federal judge, at a private meeting of judges, and in response to the Chief Justice’s question about any concerns the judges may have, to express his colleagues’ well-taken concerns about whether the rule of law can survive, is not just preposterous, but insane.
Me on the factually misleading and analytically ridiculous misconduct complaint DOJ has filed against Chief Judge Boasberg—and the dangerousness of DOJ so openly trying to undermine public confidence in the only institution that has been even partially effective at checking the Trump administration:
170. DOJ's (Ridiculous) Misconduct Complaint Against Chief Judge Boasberg
DOJ's complaint that Chief Judge Boasberg engaged in "misconduct" would be laughably stupid if it didn't reflect such a transparently obvious and dangerous attempt to delegitimize the federal courts.

He gets away with this because MAGA is incapable of critical thinking.
This is similar to scammers who claim someone in Africa wants to give you millions of money, and there are enough fools who believe the scammers.
That’s why the scammers don’t use a more convincing scam. There are enough fools.
