That’s just the icing on top. I assume that money is supposed to go straight into Trumps pocket, too, and will not be used to finance that thing, or, heaven forbid, rescue, heal, feed, or house the victims.

A peace board to which he invited Putin? No thanks, any halfway decent politician should keep away from this.

Short answer: No.

Trump would just sell a moral compass.

I’m happy I don’t.

That poll primarily shows that a good third of the American public is still to dumb to understand what is happening.

Well, they could do something. It’s called “impeachment”.

If it makes him shut up on one issue, fine. Pacifier for the big baby.

Does not change the fact that the Nobel Prize is not transferrable.

Win-Win. The world would get rid of one dangerous psychopath in office, and then the US would wipe out the current Iranian government.

The good old reliable of any autocratic / post-democratic regime.

Those values are probably the key points. I know from experience that they shed less and less over time, but I have no means to put numbers to that.

But American Fascism is getting more real now, at an accellerated rate. They know they need to act before people wake up.

I would not consider it unlikely that those one-use items like they are used in labs shred way more particles than those that have been used several times with cleaning cycles in between.

On the other hand it would basically destroy loads of test results and anything based on it.

That would be the ultimate win for Putin: Destruction of the NATO.

This is starting to look disturbingly like Germany in the 1930s.

Indeed it does. And in the US, “Door to Door” operations will probably end up in door-to-door shootings. Both by and of agents - I can understand if someone in a “stand your ground” state shoots some masked idiots who don’t want to identify themselves when breaking in…

Time to relocate the UN HQ from the US to a civilized country.
