    Take note how few people are commenting/demanding the Epstein files now compared to a few weeks ago.

    The zone has flooded.

    Nope. “aren’t meant to destabilize” (the foreign government) doesn’t excuse the move.

    The only way this can work is “with permission from the foreign government”

        It was less " building" and more “extracting rent as a management company”.

        Any building he did was for corporate space, resorts, or casinos.

    Oh this won’t go well.

    Can we just… not?

    The Military Industrial Complex forces the US to always be at war somewhere around the world. Northrop Grumman, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, Palantir (the big one now), and many others are the reason the US is doing this military campaign. Gotta keep those shareholders happy.

    Call his bluff. He just wants to wag his dick around. So mexico should mobilize their army at the border and say “cross this line and you are declaring war.”

    Guaranteed someone up high makes him understand how politically stupid that would be. Probably in pictures. With small words.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
