Idiot in the White House calls his kidnapping of the Venezuelan president a "war" and says, "to the victor belong the spoils".
...at the United Nations!!
It is going to take SO LONG to repair all the damage he's done to American credibility.
-C!

It depresses me to no end that he makes me wish he was dead. I should not have those thoughts about someone, but I cannot get by the position that he and Putin have put this world in.

There is no repair. This is what America is, now. I learned this lesson with his reelection, four short years after he instigated a riot at the capitol: When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. America has told the world who they are. I believe them.

There’s a Space Weapon Circling the Planet. Here's What We Know.
QUOTE:
On September 14, at the 2026 Air and Space Cyber Conference in Maryland, Troy Meink, the 27th Secretary of the United States Air Force, was giving a speech about how the military was stepping up to defend the homeland when he casually dropped a piece of information that could shape humanity’s future in space.
“The United States has on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action,” he said. In other words: The U.S. has placed a weapon, or weapon system, in orbit around Earth.
This is the first time any country has publicly declared that they have taken this course of action, but it’s openly acknowledged that the U.S., China, and Russia have been developing off-world weaponry for several decades. “It is no surprise that the U.S. has deployed a space weapon,” says Rod Thornton, who studies Russian Defense and Security Studies at King’s College London.
What wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card was the U.S. military’s move to suddenly and publicly announce the deployment of weapons in space. “To explicitly say that it has an on-orbit weapon was very much not expected,” says Victoria Samson, chief director of space security and stability at the Secure World Foundation in Washington D.C. |

In science fiction novels the entire world goes insane when something like this turns up as a plot point. But we're apparently numbed beyond caring.

When Dark Knight came out, an element of the movie was that Lucius Fox was going to quit over the existence of Batman’s cell-phone centered mass surveillance system. By the time Brand New Day came out, literally nobody batted an eye at Spider-Man’s cell-phone centered mass surveillance system. Ironic, seeing as how in real life a frog will not actually tolerate a slowly boiling pot.
PS I’m second guessing myself on the use of “ironic” here, but I’m open to being wrong, so please feel free to correct me!

Rather than start a new thread on his nonsense, here's a new story that won't surprise anybody anymore:
My money to make him look good.
I sure hope Chuck Schumer sends him a strongly worded letter.

“I know more about everything than anybody in this room. Anybody anywhere in the world.”
That’s pretty impressive.

His uncle worked at MIT, you know. Every fact ever known was passed down by genetic memory somehow, even facts that happened after his uncle's death. Powerful stuff.
