Democrats support Ukraine? Warhawks! Talking about invading panama? I don’t know, probably crickets.
Don’t forget him talking about invading Canada and Greenland and probably others as well.
My only hope is he can’t stay focused enough to pick just one and starts a world War with no useful allies.
Mexico!
Ah, yes. Been a few days since the last ‘invasion threat’. Wonder when he will come back on this.
Donald “YOU’RE GAMBLING WITH WW3” Trump.
If I was younger, when the US starts a war in Greeland or Panamá, I would enroll to fight them. I’m sure the modern equivalent of international brigades will be created for exactly the same purpose they were created 89 years ago.
Ukraine did it. Vance’s cousin fights with them.
This dumbass thinks he can win against the whole world. I really hope he doesn’t get my kids killed.
Jeeeeeeezus fucking Christ
I’m really dreading the amount of well-deserved crap I’m going to get from the in-laws the next time we go back to visit Panamá.
Out of interest, were US Panamanians (?) Part of the more general Latin swing toward trump?
Not trying to say it’s good, but I do wonder how those people are feeling/thinking now.
No idea. Some of my wife’s cousins who are
dealdual citizens were Trump voters in 2016, so I imagine they remained so this time around.edit: autocorrect typo
Blow all the fucking locks and tell them: ‘fine, it’s yours’
Central command watching Southern Command carry out their legacy of invading Iraq.
Can Trump just make Vance a temporary general or something and charge him with recruiting an army of MAGAsites to be his own personal division of Fluff Grinders to invade and subsequently be captured/imprisoned?
Oh my fucking god. I just can’t any more.
Not that I have any faith in the R congress to have a spine, but I’m not seeing how he even could do so if he wanted to without consent of Congress. Pretty well all the direct actions taken in the last couple decades come from the AUMF but that’s at least theoretically supposed to be linked to terrorist activities.

Supposedly he’d have to have a reason, such as terrorism like you say, in order to pull a Bush Jr Invasion.
In todays wacked out evil af world… who knows. Im wondering why he’s just not using the CIA to “covertly” do this. But then again it could all be a bluff.
Because he doesn’t get public worship from black ops.
I hope that’s true

Is Common Dreams reliable? It sounds like something you’d name your high school blog. Any reporting if this elsewhere?
God. A return to the mean for US foreign policy. What will this be? The 10th US invasion of Panama?
I guess we better start taking the Greenland and Canada shit more seriously.
He already said annexation of Greenland will happen.
Is he just doing domestically something purely evil again and throwing feces at a window to distract people.
My theory is that we’re in an ‘emperor has no clothes’ situation, where a cult of sycophants has nourished itself on a leader with a genuine case of cognitive decline, and who are too afraid, because of the sunk cost or a fear of banishment or retribution, to point out this flaw or contradict their madman.
You see them parrot his insane talking point with such glee because the madness and fervour are contagions. Within the cult, the insanity is self perpetuating, and the longer you’re in, the crazier you become. 15 or 20 years ago, these same people probably had fairly typical views and opinions and, if confronted by their past self, would now only see a stranger or a traitor. Their past self might look at what they’ve become and wonder, “What did I do to deserve that?!”
What I’m saying is I think Trump might be Cthulu.
Only slightly more grounded, I see a lot of similarities with Caligula or Nero.
He has the ineffective pettiness and cruelty of Caligula, but Nero had the cultist followers who wouldn’t even accept his death and kept spreading legends that he’d show up again. (I wonder if they rioted the capital lol)
Hoping for an ending like Caligula’s sooner rather than later though.
They probably should have rigged it to blow the locks awhile ago.
There’s no time like the present!
Common Dreams has been publishing for over 20 years, and is considered a generally reliable source of left-leaning news. It has a better rep than HuffPo or Breitbart, and it started in roughly the same era.
Huh. TIL. Never heard of it before.
First time for everything.
Edit, beaten to it by someone more thorough!
