The media acting like this is news is very worrisome. It gives the image of possibility and certain people lack the capacity to understand this is click bait

I will forever refer to CNN as Clown News Network from now on.

I go with “shamefully complicit.”

Trump is the Frankenstein story. They created a monster they can’t control.

Except Frankenstein was just misunderstood. The real monster was the mob.

Imperialism. straight up ‘gonna take it because i want it’. he admired mafia dons, allegedly was a family bully and now has position, power and access to military and bombs. loves dictators. with 90 million registered voters who didn’t vote, whether by redistricting/voter suppression, bomb threats that closed voter centers, employed in places that didn’t allow long enough break times to go vote, or flat out chose to ignore civic responsibility, we are challenged with how to assist democracy to survive in this country.

Trump is a fucking nut job. And this is the trash that was voted into office. Doesn't say much for Americans. Of course, Harris wasn't any better. Just another warmonger like Biden. We are so screwed.

The story behind this economics and climate change. Currently , there is a drought at the Panama Canal. There is simply not enough water to facilitate regular traffic through the canal. There is currently a traffic jam at either end of the canal. Naturally, the cost to use the canal has increased. On the other hand, quite cynically, the ice sheet is melting in the Arctic, allowing for shipping traffic to increase. So Trump’s answer to all this (with Musk breathing down his neck) is to take over the Panama Canal and to takeover/buy Canada and Greenland.

During his first term, Trump also mentioned a possible invasion of Venezuela, and I have heard various ReThuglicans refer to how that nation currently has "our" oil. At least THE GUARDIAN and REUTERS covered these statements (5-6 years ago): https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jul/04/trump-suggested-invading-venezuela-report and https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-says-us-military-intervention-in-venezuela-an-option-russia-objects-idUSKCN1PS0DP/.

We must brace ourselves for the worst. Trump may be thinking "Fortress America" -- literally!

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Quebec_(1775) is true, but, most of Mr Trumps supporters are ignorant of (true) US history. And those that are not, are experts at twisting it to their ends. Had Arnold won at Quebec, 'New France' likely would have been the fourteenth colony. Which is by no means an apology for the recent absurd comments or negligence of media coverage.

Denmark is a founding member of NATO. I would absolutely call his bluff on this. Just get Britain and France to announce a joint exercise for nuclear-armed subs off the coast of Iceland for 'training'. Let's see how he likes them apples.

It is because of their complicity that I stopped watching legacy media and won't go back to their brainwashing

This is what we mean when we say, “Trump says it like it is.”

With his choice for Ambassador to UK, I wonder if he will propose to buy England.

I do wish I could afford the $6, but my wife and I struggle to keep our heads afloat on the meager Social Security, which will be in constant jeopardy with the Corporate Nazis in charge. Had Harris won, I intended to write to her concerning a living income for SS recipients or raising the poverty level to qualify for additional benefits like SNAP. I guess it will have to go on the backburner… again.

Thank you Qasim, if I may, are a Muslim, or some other religious beliefs. I guess it shows my ignorance that not all people that names such as yourself are Muslims, it matters not, I did not wish to offend you by wishing you a Merry Christmas. If you do not believe in Christianity. I only wish that the world thinks with the same kindness in our hearts that we show at this time of year.
