President signed the legislation championed by late senator Lindsey Graham last month but has waived the restrictions as they were due to come into effect
Maybe “the West” no longer exists. There’s just the US and then there’s Europe, and each of them is doing their own thing.
Remember when this guy said no one was tougher on Russia than him? Oh Lordy, and his base just ate it up.
Well, he didn’t specify what part of him was tougher on Russia. Some lube was required.

but he is one hell of a power bottom
Maybe that’s the real reason he has to wear diapers
This is also the guy that said he trusts Putin over his own intelligence agencies.
“better a Russian than a Democrat”
He just meant they love aggressive blowjobs.
Trump instigated the situation to justify doing this. Period.
It was always going to end this way because Putin ordered it, and he has enough video on Trump and his billionaire pals to get what he wants.
If only Epstein had lived long enough to see what power he still wields in this world— wars, fascism, racism, genocide—can all be laid at his feet because rich people like to rape enslaved women & children and therefore the tapes exist. What a proud moment for Epstein.
Maybe Putin doesn’t need video of Trump. Maybe Trump’s admiration of dictators like Putin is all Putin needs to get Trump to do the Kremlin’s bidding.
Trumps also up to his ears in Russian mob money from his real estate days.
Very true, and much more than any of us even know yet. But his real estate days are not over: he is still “doing deals” involving his properties from the Oval Office.
And lest anyone ever forget, the basic facts of Gaza are these:
Trump: developer
Gaza: land now almost fully cleared for developmentInteresting how that has been working out for him.
He really took aggressive real estate development to the next level. Why use Caterpillar when you can use Mk84’s to prepare the area. I’m surprised he didn’t sell Israel some B-52’s yet.
So the executive branch, exercising power it literally doesn’t have to exercise?
I mean, they’ve been doing that for 2 years.
And your point is?
Does the amount of time that you’ve been doing a crime excuse that crime?
I’m just saying it’s nothing new. Criminals gonna criminal.
Crazy they’re able to withstand the barrage of strongly worded letters from Congress. Such strength!!
Article III, Section 3, Clause 1:
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
Check. Check. And check. Now what?
Find a committee with balls?
I hate that everyone is just letting this guy walk all over the constitution. At any time they could stop him, but they don’t want too no matter how much they say they do.
They created this monster, and they are stuck with the consequences regardless of whether they want it or not. Obligatory fuck neoliberals too, and Gavin Newsom in particular.
Woah now, are you seriously asking Congress to do their job and govern? When they can just sit around and collect all that sweet
bribelobby money. They want this executive fiat to make their lives easier. The whole government has been heading this way for a long time.They created this monster and we are stuck with the consequences.
Newsom seems more sensible than Trump. Presumably if Newsom does win the presidency in 2028 then he would be more supportive of Ukraine, like Biden was.
Yeah, well, he just backed a measure to kill the billionaire tax in California, and took it a step further trying to make it illegal to make other billionaire taxes. Fuck that guy, if he makes it to the general election, I will vote for him, but I will not forget that he’s a billionaire stooges.
We need real progressives, not fucking neoliberals in sheep’s skin, or we will get Trump 2.0 one day and it will be even worse than it is now. People want real change, not another Joe Biden, or Obama.
We got MAGA because people are ignoring the working people’s plight, and acting like the world is all hunky dory, and we aren’t killing the planet under a capitalist system rigged against anybody not rich.
But, I will hold my nose and vote for him if he makes it to the general bcz I’d rather not go full Hitler. We already might get that. 🤷♂️
I think I read some time ago that Newsom’s argument is that a national billionaire tax would be better and more effective than a California billionaire tax.
But yeah maybe he should just support both: a California tax and a national tax.
It is pretty obscene that billionaires can spend nearly limitless money trying to defeat a proposal for them to pay just a little bit more in tax; a tax which could save the lives of the most disadvantaged people in society.
Yeah, well, too little too late. He also passed a ban on 3D printing. I don’t remember the specifics of it, but it was something to do with ghost guns, but we all know the real purpose is to prevent people from making replacement parts for their stuff. Right to repair is so fucked, and he’s made it worse for no reason.
There are a lot of reasons to hate the guy even though he’s done some decent stuff.
I don’t just blindly support candidates, and I never will. I want a Mamdani to run for president, and congress. We need people who actually care. Not people who just want power. The entire world is lurching right now bcz of the manipulated online discourse, and our idiot neoliberal polices from the past 40-50 years. It’s like clock work, the generation that experienced fascism dies, so we decided, maybe let’s try it again. Maybe it’ll work this time.
Fair points. I’m British not American, so I’m sure you know a lot more about Newsom than I do. I’ve seen a couple of interviews with him but that’s about it.
If 2028 is Newsom vs Vance and Newsom wins, I would hope that would improve the world. Maybe a Democrat who more boldly stands up for ordinary (non-wealthy) people would be better, but whether they’d get enough support from Middle America to win the presidency, I don’t know.
Impeach and convict.
I think Canada still exists…
While it’s not the same economic power or population, it shouldn’t be left off the list.
Edit: hit send too early.
That’s true, I should have thought about Canada and other allies of the West (Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, maybe others).
I guess the US was the lynchpin that held “the West” together. Without good leadership from them, then I guess the world is as Mark Carney described: the US doing its own thing, and then a bunch of “middle powers”, who should act together, if they want better outcomes when dealing with the big powers.
It’s mostly just the EU and Canada who are the good guys at this point. Everyone else is going full on fascism.
Oh the EU is going full fascism in some spots too.
Capitalism cannot collapse fast enough
Funnily, “The West” mostly exists in Putin’s mind.

Yeah.
Can’t be just some pee tape. There has to be some “kiddy fiddling” stuff.
I don’t think Trump would care. I really don’t. He likes to brag about being able to shoot someone in the middle of Times Square, and I think he’s a 100% right. His base would have no problem with a video of him molesting a child. Most of his base would happily give their children to him.
No whatever dirt Putin has on him, if he has any or needs it, has to be something that Trump himself finds embarrassing. He’s not embarrassed about raping children he brags about that, it’s got to be something that he would find emasculating. Again assuming he has anything on Trump because Trump such a scumbag he could be doing this just because.
Maybe he has proof he once paid a bill in full?
…or gave bj in full to a one particular Bill.
I think that gives Trump too much credit. Trump is at his core really stupid and really insecure. Putin gets to run his country like Trump wants to run ours. Trump looks up to Putin like a little kid looks up to his big brother. Everything he does is to gain the attention and approval of big brother.

Probably shit that made Marjorie turn from him
The pee tape is the P tape, it was always evidence of trump’s paedophillia.
Good. I definitely don’t want to be part of Europe’s racist little garden. I’ll take any multipolar world order we can get, and I hope this doesn’t change when Trump is gone soon. Fuck Europe.
Seems like every time I see the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen it comes from some .ml weirdo who ain’t smart enough to know how dumb he is.
You’re not saying anything, just ad hominems.
Use real words to explain how I’m wrong.
