Since there is an ever increasing stream of scrap emanating from the WH and the clown show that is this administration I'll open a thread dedicated to highlighting this.

First post will be about war crimes conducted by the DOD, under the genius that is Pete Hegseth:

'U.S. Attacked Boat With Aircraft That Looked Like a Civilian Plane'

"The Pentagon used a secret aircraft painted to look like a civilian plane in its first attack on a boat that the Trump administration said was smuggling drugs, killing 11 people last September, according to officials briefed on the matter.

The nonmilitary appearance is significant, according to legal specialists, because the administration has argued its lethal boat attacks are lawful — not murders — because President Trump “determined” the United States is in an armed conflict with drug cartels.

But the laws of armed conflict prohibit combatants from feigning civilian status to fool adversaries into dropping their guard, then attacking and killing them. That is a war crime called “perfidy.”"

Oh my god, did you tell Sunny the good news already?

So the moron in the WH finally opens up on why he really needs Greenland, and it's as stupid a reason as you would expect. And he wouldn't even rule out using nuclear weapons to get it.

'Donald Trump Says He Wants 'Ownership' of Greenland Because It's 'Psychologically Important for Me''

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/donald-trump-says-wants-ownership-000813790.html

""Because that’s what I feel is psychologically needed for success," Trump, 79, replied. White House correspondent Katie Rogers — whom Trump recently called "ugly, both inside and out" for writing a story about his age — chimed in to ask, "Psychologically important to you or to the United States?"

“Psychologically important for me," Trump answered. "Now, maybe another president would feel differently, but so far I’ve been right about everything."

Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark."

Sounds as if he is aware that he screwed up.

Trump tariffs live updates: Trump says 'we're screwed' if Supreme Court rules against his tariffs

"If the Supreme Court rules against the United States of America on this National Security bonanza, WE’RE SCREWED!" he wrote on social media.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in an interview that if the high court rules against Trump's tariffs — which he still views as unlikely — the US Treasury has more than enough funds to cover the costs of any refunds. But Bessent said he thinks businesses won't be passing those refunds back to consumers.

"It won't be a problem if we have to do it, but ‍I can tell you that if it happens — which I don't think it's going to — it's just a corporate boondoggle," Bessent told Reuters. "Costco, who's suing the US government, are they going to give the money back to their clients?"

So I won't get my $2000 buck "Tariff Gift To The American People."

Oh, all the lefties in line wanting another handout, what a shock!

As an outsider looking in at American politics, like him or hate him, Trump is great entertainment. 😂

After watching Trump in the White House for a year, I've come to the conclusion that he's a lying sack of shinola.
I'm planning to vote a straight Democrat ticket in the 2026 Midterm elections, not because I have any faith at all in the Democrats - I don't, not at all, not even a little bit. But when the president showed his true colors as a serial liar, a war-monger, a man of violence, and a narcissistic megalomaniac (a narcissistic megalomaniac to rival that funny little German guy with his funny little mustache in the 1930s ) then its time to take the steps necessary to remove him. How to remove him? Put enough Democrats into the House of Representatives and the Senate and then watch the fireworks.

Now for those who will say, "You'll destroy the United States."
My reply is that the United States as I knew it in the past is dead and gone along with the American Dream, and it's not coming back in my lifetime. And neither Republicans nor Democrats will put Humpty-Dumpty back together again. So it really doesn't matter who is in office. But amoral liars need to be punished, not rewarded. I'll let the Democrats do the dirty work. I know they are primed and ready to go. If we have a Democrat House in 2027, their first order of business will be to rip Trump out of the White House by whatever means they can come up with. And imagine if the Democrats take the Senate too. 🔥

Should be fun to watch from 14,000 miles away. And seriously - I think he's insane. Really.

Fascism 101

Government and corporations work together using the citizen's wealth as capital in order to economically benefit the Government (the leader's personal wealth) & Corporate (shareholders and executives) partnership.

The (Fascist) Corpocracy makes bank; the peasants (you and I) foot the bill. Welcome to Hell. 🔥

As is typical of the left, your post is based on a lie and goes downhill from there.

"After watching Trump in the White House for a year, I've come to the conclusion that he's a lying sack of shinola."

You have not watched Trump in the White House, and you have come to no conclusion, you've been ranting about Trump for nine years.

Please refer to the post directly above this one…….

Tuesday's release of the Treasury Department's Monthly Treasury Statement also showed that the US ran a deficit of $602 billion between October and December — the first three months of the fiscal year — including a deficit of $145 billion in December that far outstripped the tariff revenues despite Trump's frequent claims that tariffs are balancing the budget.

The president has said in recent months that tariffs could pay for at least 10 different things, far beyond what the tariffs were actually bringing in, even at their peak.

The most recent example came last week when Trump began to push a $500 billion increase in the US military budget, which he specifically claimed is possible thanks to tariffs. That annual military budget increase amounts to more than twice the entire tariff revenue collected in 2025.

You're a certified troll. Haunt someone else's posts Yellowsnail.

Funny - I label myself as a Conservative Centrist Independent . If anyone wished to apply labels, 50 years ago I'd have been called a Classical Liberal. That would have placed me a scoch left of the political center. Over the last twenty years as the true Left has lost its compass and moved to the radical Left, its been insinuated by some really true Lefties that I'm a "Far Right Wingnut", a "MAGA supporter" and a "Trump Lover." But being called a "Leftie" by an AseanNow Trolloc is an entertaining change of pace. That's because intolerant trolls love to bash other members with nonsense labels while insinuating that they themselves are God's Gift to the World. Nah - you're just a pathetic troll. I believe you were on my Ignore List before I loosened it up a bit.

You're back on it again. Bye bye.
