I keep reading stuff like this - even otherwise hostile article headlines refer to "Trump's plan" rather than "Trump's proposed ethnic cleansing" and wondering whether my sanity has finally snapped or I am high off a gas leak.
The bizarre fantasy that this is some 5D chess opening gambit, no, he’s a crass real estate developer, he’s used to sending his goons in to clear a site because he’s bought off the local judge and waving them bye-bye and building on their homes. Why would this be any different?
He will do what we allow. He will be quick about it and let others take the consequences. Collateral damage means nothing to him. The world is his and he’s pillaging and plundering. Until we stop him, it will continue and accelerate.
I thought it was extremely telling that Trump basically saw Gaza as a real estate opportunity. Like, my dudes, his brain, it pudding. It always been pudding, he was never a president. He was a realtor. He still is.
A lot of people I think take the view that Trump *has* to be intelligent, because it's so much more embarrassing if they were beaten by a fucking idiot.
I think it’s partially that and partially the monarchical effect of the office. Lots of people who were completely happy to to laugh along at portrayals of Charles as a jug-eared shrub-bothering crank when he was PoW are now convinced he’s a king of deep majesty and wisdom. Same deal.
As a brief aside, I believe the locals who protested his Aberdeenshire golf course got vague threats made against them and their properties saw a spike in random vandalism.
I wonder if any of the horseshoe arseholes who've spent years saying the west is no better than the dictatorships will fess up now they're about to see four years of what that would actually look like.
Aye. Trump will be elided with every other president; undifferentiated, not deviating from the original sin of being voted into power, so all the policies and stances just blurred together.
It's going to make us sprightly twenty-five-yr-olds feel lucky to have lived in decades which are going to seem fairly free of threat and war by comparison.

The only appropriate US action is paying reparations for the American government’s complicity in the genocide.
