Surely, the game is just get in to power by any means necessary. Even if that means courting Hitler, Pol Pot, Mugabe, whoever; just get it done! Once in power, he can do what we wants …

Are they really aligned? Macron, Starmer and Zelenskyy are all in Washington this week. Trump speaks a lot of BS, but when push comes to shove does he want his legacy to be cosying up to this generation’s Hitler - a guy even the Murdoch press despises? What does he stand to gain?

From what I’ve read (in the Atlantic’s excellent explanation m), they can only legally delay funds for a limited period; ultimately any money passed by Congress has to be spent. Try telling that to Trump though, will probably end up with the Supreme Court …

Why is liberal America just sitting back and taking this? If this happened in any country in Europe there would be daily riots in every major city…

I appreciate everything you’re saying, but let’s be honest: this is an echo chamber. You should focus on getting through the the 77M who voted this lunatic in…

The sooner its readership dies out, the better …
