For everyone in the EU goes rightly outraged over the bullshit President Trump is fulminating just about anywhere he takes a fancy to, I would like to say the more you and your politicians the more you openly state that the US has given up superpower status and therefore its relevance to your national interest, the better.
Make it clear to corporations and finance. We are not dealing with legitimate government. A party that represents billionaires has subverted constitutional order.

I am not resting easy yet.
A bunch of people who are basically straight-up Nazis just got humiliated. They’re hurting, they’re angry, and they’re in my city.
And they’re pants-on-head dumbshits. (One of their posters bemoaned the “erogion [sic] of our rights.”) That’s not a comfort: sometimes that’s the most dangerous kind of right-winger. Their utter amateurishness means they have no sense of constraints and no sense of consequences. I don’t know what they’ll try to do next.
We remain wary and •highly• watchful. But I’m going to take the win on this round.

“Given the devotion of Trump’s cult in Congress, there’s no way an impeachment effort will end with the removal of the president.
Do it anyway. The rule of law is meaningless if you only take it up when it’s easy.”

The hubris AND the stupidity. Trump’s going blackmail countries with tariffs until the “allow” him to take Greenland?!? All he’s going to do is destroy the global and US economies.

Trump's call to cancel elections must be a wake-up call

The Greenland crisis reminds me of April 9, 1940, in Denmark. Hitler thought he could take Denmark by force, so he rolled in the tanks. What he did not anticipate was, for five long years we Danes kept fighting the Nazis with an ever growing resistance force.
Trump may sail forces to Greenland, but he will never take our freedom. ✊🏼

Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
