Trump new head of public diplomacy, Darren Beattie, says the biggest impact of China taking over Taiwan would be “fewer drag queen parades in Taiwan.” 4/
There’s no way in hell we can allow them to do this ever we have to protect one. They’re democracy is on the line as well as ours. They were not only take Taiwan. They would take the Philippines as well! And fell in 45 would let them!
Dear Ole Darren Beatte isn't on team 🇺🇸...neither are many of the current leadership: trump, Johnson, Hegseth, Vance, Musk or proposed team: Gabbard & others.
Google russia & see if being "little russia" is desirable.
@raskin.house.gov Please start a class action suit against Trump as you described on The Weekend! Millions of us are waiting for a leader and event that will bring us together in force.This would generate huge energy and could be a beginning of the end - our SOLIDARITY! Please be our Lech Walesa!
so, this is a fairly significant statement. my odds go with trump administration eschews traditional alliances and, instead, aligns with the authoritarian axis, like putin, xi, orban, kim; united in a kind of 19th Century concept for State relationships based on might-makes-right. just sayin'
NATO is not a threat to liberty.
Never has been. It isn’t now. It never will be.
Don’t trust anyone who says that it has been, it is, or will be
Persist and resist together
What’s amazing is this story on Beattie came out a week ago and no one has asked Rubio, Trump or Leavitt about it until that one question. And will probably never follow up.
There’s something seriously wrong with these people. I’m sick to my stomach. Why didn’t maga see how hateful these people are or they just like them? Groceries aren’t cheaper, min wage is still $7 & project 25 was his plan all along. Can we file a class action lawsuit for lying about p25? @aclu.org
Empty suit happy to be a figurehead with an impressive title. Trump got Rubio’s number in 2017 and he fits the role as a pliable “respectable” Quisling.
Lil Marco was a senator. The Senate, especially for Democrats, is a small, elite group that supports bipartisan civility. We the People aren't part of it.
The thinking was he was a responsible adult and Ds wanted to save unified opposition for the clearly crazy ones, but anyone appointed by Trump had to attest that they believe the 2020 election was rigged and swear absolutely loyalty to Trump, so there really aren’t any “good ones.”
Like, committing treason does need a mens rea of some kind and all, but I can’t believe they are this stupid. At a certain point the harm they are doing to the U.S. has to be intentional
"At a certain point the harm they are doing to the U.S. has to be intentional..." That point was announced in Project 2025 back in 2024, and when Trump said he'd be a dictator on day one. They *always* meant to harm the US and to replace democracy with a totalitarian regime. Always.
It is intentional. The Nazi Pedo Coup wants to destory America so they can crash the dollar and replace it with griftocurrency. Only way to keep their ponzi scheme afloat.
Let's start with him pretending he won an election he knew he lost, but never displaying facts that back it up, instead using innuendo, theories and defamation to create the idea of truth. Treason right there, and should have nipped this in the bud if it was dealt with...but here we are.
it is really hard for us all to deal with our relative impotence; untill the house begins crafting a CR, the house/senate dems really have very little if any power
You should have figured out before the election that most of our media was in on all this. Every news station here is in the pocket of some billionaire. Why do you think they refused to report things about Trump that were at all negative?
Bluesky and individual substacks and independent media are doing most of the hard work now.
There is the odd excellent article in a big national newspaper worth reading but they tend to heavily lawyer the wording in them to downplay the emotional content of their reporting.
As a UK citizen, I believe NATO should threaten to kick the US out and invite China in take their place. See how Trump likes it then. Fed up of this bull shit. Say what you want about China but at least they haven't threatened to invade us or make us the 51st state like Trump has with Canada.
Look at what China did (and continue to do) to Tibet and Hong Kong... not what you would want here.
Besides NATO stands for North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Not 'New Asian' or 'Now Anyone'...
"North Atlantic" was just a branding based on the geopolitics of the time. It can be rebranded as "Non-Arseholes Treaty Organisation" which would exclude the circus that used to be the United States.
Yet in a few short weeks Trump has made China appear to be much more stable and reliable possible partner than the US appears to be at this moment. Congratulations US voters!!
Beattie has clearly learned from his role models that he can get away with just *saying* things. There's never an argument. It's just flatulence-backed assertion.
That Beattie Bastard is just another incompetent and dangerous dip$hit in the long line of the Orange Toad's appointees. Our DEMOCRACY is falling every day.
My hypothesis is that the social media douche bags want to see just how powerful their information technology weaponry is. They want to see if they can conquer a country with it coupled with economic warfare by making that country want to surrender through a coercive narrative. Fuckers.
Yeah, the Nazi Pedo Coup absolutely wants the US to be destroyed and replaced by corporate fiefdoms fueled by penniless migrant labor with no rights, and destroy the US dollar and replace with with griftocurrency
Post 9/11 We all ended up in a 'war on terrorism' because of NATO article 5 where an attack on one, is an attack on all. What a kick in the teeth. I agree all NATO members should commit more to defence, but this is playing to Putin's wishes 100%
One day soon, Putin will be invited to Washington for a state visit. He'll sit behind the Resolute Desk for a photo op & his victory will then be complete.
Beattie’s state is one of the dumbest things ever written. Which in this day and age is saying quite a lot. How uneducated and ignorant must one person be to say that?
It’s amazing how many delusional people he finds for his administration, but this is all a reflection of who Trump is and Trump’s sharing Putin’s hatred of NATO.

I’d think we’d feel the impact of losing a trading partner and ally. The world will see a destabilized global order and the Taiwanese people will feel the loss of their own freedom. Are any of those big enough to offset his view that the drag show ban would be a positive development?
Crazy. China would never make that concession if as he asserts, unification is inevitable. Why would it give up what it could have for something that he asserts it will have? There’s no logic there.
Wow, that’s a fucked up reply. It also shows some of China/Xi’s hand because we know they’re talking behind closed doors prepping their theater wars. Just talk of straight up dividing the world. Colonial mafia type shit.
From my viewpoint I see a lot of incompetent white men trying to kiss another incompetent white man's ass. And if they can't reach lick his feet. Disgusting if it wasn't so dangerous.

You now own the American Government.

Whoever figures out the effective way to combat THAT saves the world.
I would like fewer posts like this, and more posts with suggestions for concrete actions that i can do
eg, I live in Boston area: anyone else for a demonstration a the Tesla store on Beacon street ?

I can guess how their 2 senators & 27 or so congressmen would vote :D

Media is, like politicians, bought and paid for by wealth or Zionist special interests.
We have to brainstorm a way out.
