Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far:
A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

I could hardly read this. It's quite frankly terrifying. But it's also motivating! No way will they achieve all of this, without the fight of their lives!
"Normally, we treat each bullet point as a separate story. But they are all connected. We are witnessing an extraordinarily broad chilling effect in American society."
Look at the length of these lists - this effort to intimidate and silence opposition is a key part of Trump II's authoritarianism.

Mike Pence just reposted an old article he wrote about the limitations on the powers of a president. For some reason. Here is a part of it.

OMG. I still wonder if the orange ass is responsible. Could a lack of, or shoddy maintenance work due to understaffing, have contributed?

If I had a dollar for all of the Magas who thought Trump would lower the cost of gas and groceries, I'd be rich! Such delusion!
The closest thing Trump had to a mandate was about the price of eggs

What's up with Karoline Leavitt's rapid blinking today? She looked petrified, and as if she didn't believe a word she was saying.

Remember:
The tariffs aren’t about economics, and DOGE isn’t about fiscal responsibility.
They are both about ••psychopathology**.

This sums it up, aside from fighting with the majority of people in the US as well.
So let’s see, Trump has been President for a week and now we are fighting with Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Denmark, Panama, Colombia, and pretty much the entire EU.
It does seem that Viktor Orban and Netanyahu now likes us more though, so there’s that.

The past several days have proven without a shadow of a doubt that Project 2025 is real and underway.
And those who warned America about it were right.

The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

If Trump can end birthright citizenship, will he also go after citizenship of detractors? After all, we threaten his "perfect" union. 🤔

I've been told this by people close to me, as well as being told by friends that they "don't get into politics". Which is exactly what Evil Orange is counting on.

Best thing our allies can remember: if you stand up to Trump you intimidate him and he will back down. If you crawl to him (like his sycophantic politicians) he will not respect you and will eventually throw you under the bus.

Now the orange ass says that Denmark will "come along", regarding the US buying Greenland. Aren't we supposed to be a "failing nation", with radical cuts coming to most programs, courtesy of DOGE? Where is the money to purchase an entire COUNTRY going to come from? 😡🤔
