    It’s extraordinary how Americans have elected someone who is actively weakening the country and no one is doing a fucking thing about it.

    Putin is a genius.

      Not only that, but our president is casually tossing around WW3 threats as if he isn’t staffing the military with incompetents and drunks.

            I see. He was not making threats of WW3 though, he was warning about potentially escalating to WW3.

                You understand the difference between threatening someone with WW3, and warning someone that they might actually start WW3, right?

                Trump isn’t the one who will trigger nor participate in WW3 in neither scenario.

                  Respectfully, I don’t know how you could sit through his first four years, and definitely not the last six weeks, and dismiss anything he says out of hand at this point.

                  You are being unreasonable.

        They don’t need genius ideas.
        They’re doing a fucking thing about it.
        Sit back and relax. We’ll be saved any moment.

    I’m feeling a bit more optimistic about the invasion of Canada/Greenland if they send the Keystone Kops in to do it.
