    All this… has nothing to do with drugs. We are currently in 1938-1939 stage of where Hitler was starting Anschluss.

    History might not be repeating but it is rhyming and this orange pedophile piece of shit is taking pages right out of the Fuhrer’s book.

      We took the oil fields, which Hitler failed to do before starving his war machine of gasoline. We’re letting things settle in Venezuela before we take Greenland. Greenland is strategic as the Arctic sea lanes open and prospecting and mining become easier. Good place to defend the continent from air and sea.

      Next? Mexico? No idea. But it looks like the US is making the same mistake as the Nazis, biting off more than we can chew based on the giddy atmosphere after initial wins and zero resistance. Yes, they’re that fucking dumb. It’s like they read the start of WWII history and called it a day.

      Dumber even, Trump didn’t pull the US from economic disaster into short-term prosperity, quite the opposite. At least Hitler had the population in thrall because their economic situation improved. That’s, uh, not working out ATM, and there’s no future where it does.

      And worse, the cult leader is clearly dying of frontotemporal dementia. (Not my armchair take, many doctors and psychiatrists have outlined the clear evidence.) They’re moving fast before Trump can’t be stood in front of a camera.

        The US can grab Greenland, Mexico, and Canada. Militarily, it’s straightforward. The US is so extremely superior, nobody will be able to stop them.

        The US is self sufficient in oil. It doesn’t even need Venezuelan oil.

        This situation isn’t comparable to Nazi Germany at all. Germany is in Central Europe and has major land powers in France and Russia plus the UK to contend with. The USA sit safe and sound, protected by vast oceans on both sides.

      If history reminds me, many Germans were on board with that plan. This is pretty much all billionaires and bot farms that support this fucker and a few stragglers that never passed grade 3. It’s going to go very bad for them, but it’s gonna hurt a lot for us first

    Oh my god, where does Donald Trump think we get our food from? We import so much food from Mexico. I live in Texas, and probably 75% of the produce in our stores is imported from Mexico. Does the man expect us to eat nothing but corn and soybeans?!

          Is it? About half of your state will still cheer for him unfortunately. And so many other states too.

          I could see some blue coastal states on either coast exiting and starting their own union at this rate though. Seems more likely than any sort of revolution.

            The Romans used “panem et circenses,” or bread and entertainment, to keep the population docile.

            Trump just cut food stamps for millions.

            How long until them empty bellies quit caring about The Masked Singer…?

              The democrats will be blamed for this. And immigrants. And LGBT folks.

              It’s unfortunate, but I don’t see MAGA folks ever blaming Trump for anything he does.

                Wish i could disagree, but i can’t, really.

                Still, i think no insulin and no chicken tenders are gonna start to piss off even the most ardent supporters. The main Hallmark of conservatism is “don’t give a fuck until it touches ME.

      He’s been rich since birth. He has no concept of where anything comes from or what consequences are because he’s been isolated by way of money from worrying about any of that.

    A war against our biggest trading partner. One where many of their nationals, and decedents live legally within our country. One we share a large land boarder with. A country that has voluntarily held migrants that want to enter our country on their side of the boarder. A boarder known to be porous.

    This can only go well.

      Want to get really cynical? The US is expelling and torturing their slave labor. Immigrants do not receive any federal benefits, yet contribute hugely to the economy. 13,000,000 is the number I’ve heard, and that only covers undocumented immigrants, but they’re going for all of them. Does anyone expect expelling 3-4% of our cheap workforce works out?!

      No matter how cold-blooded one’s take, this is fucking stupid.

      Depending on how this goes, the US might have their own Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Vietnam, Yemen, or (insert a major conflict that has just been a quagmire for anyone involved) right on their border.
