Anyone keeping up with EU politics on top of this massive shitshow in the US? I am really curious how the utter disaster on display for the world by the US will influence the EU elections.

britain has brexit fallout to deal with and iirc leases it's nukes from us, but if france doesn't go fascist i could see it teaming up with germany to be the nuclear deterrent in europe

lmao that wapo article notes that he's rolling an EO repealing obamacare this week. Besides the fact that this probably isn't even possible, is the idea to just straight up repeal and throw it to congress/whoever and demand a replacement?



people are going to die. lmao. lol. literally laughing out loud at the people I know irl who will die.

the president cannot repeal laws with an eo

We want deal!

*the crowd starts chanting*

"DEAL! DEAL! DEAL! DEAL! DEAL!"

A confused Shinzo Abe is forced out of the elevator and into the gladiatorial ring. Trump is shirtless, his rippling abs glinting in the sunshine, appropriately smeared with vaseline to catch the light. He effortlessly twirles a subadai - the same style of spear wielded by Genghis himself- around his body as he dances with deadly precision toward his opponent.

"I'm renegotiating the Trans Pacific Partnership, Shinzo." With 10,000 hours of practice, Trump twirls the spear over his shoulders, piercing Shinzo's jugular with pinpoint precision.

Trump mugs to the crowd.

not without massively increasing the number of warheads they have and massively expanding their respective airforces to create a credible deterrent

and lmao if you think this will happen they will submit to literal annexation by the USA before putting that kind of resources into their military

I wonder what their plans were initially: spend a year or two in the Administration, then see if they can pawn that into a nice gig outside of it where they wouldn't have to deal with Trump's old man piss smell or seeing bits of his swollen Frankenstein scalp when he would sit down? What did they want from this? Where did they think this was all going to go in that short time between Trump meeting with Obama the day after and Trump pissing off China a day or two after?

I'm really curious because you know they might have had some big dreams. You know Kellyanne wanted to be press secretary, and that a few of the surrogates (that are now either gone or dead, who knows) thought of getting cherry positions in the cabinet or at the WH itself. Priebus knew he was going to have some role in order to soothe out Trump's rough spots so the Republican Congress could get their poo poo done.

I ask because I know when the reality set in, when they knew it was never going to change, when their dreams were dashed and they saw that the only thing waiting for them was either the world's mockery or having to face this gigantic pathetic manbaby, a part of them died. Not a small part, either. It must have been like having to sell off a body part in order to get their fondest wish, only to have it go so immediately south that the only thing left is mindbending despair. Because when I look at how some of those faces have aged and withered and how the light has gone out of their eyes, I want to know that darkness, because it makes me laugh, because I know it's only the beginning for them. Nobody in this administration will live this down, ever, because it will haunt them in some Lovecraftian way for the rest of their time in existence.

their motivations were various

bannon: seize the state

priebus: demonstrate his skills and validate his work to his party masters by riding the burning tire fire to the ground like legolas

conway: the frisson of proximity to power and the lure of fame's spotlight

kushner: steal 'til he can't steal no more, steal 'til his stealin' muscles are sore

sessions: restore slavery to the republic via private prisons

spicer: paid parking and a west wing access id

This is incredible, thank you. I just did some reading and not only do they lease the missiles from US, all maintenance/testing/rearming for missiles and all of their submarines is done at a single Navy base in Georgia. We own their entire nuclear program top to bottom
