    MAGA will spin the South Korea deal however Russia wants them to. I can see a couple of takes they adopt. Either the South Korean leader was weak for craving to pro-Communist threats or they will champion the legitimacy and awesomeness of mob rule.

      graft from the top down:

      As Ric Grenell made a bid after the election to be Donald Trump’s secretary of State, a flurry of social media posts from MAGA influencers started popping up, advocating for the president-elect to pick him.

      Around the same time, an associate of Grenell had approached conservative social media influencers, according to two people with knowledge of the situation, offering paid contracts of as much as five figures to post favorably about Grenell...

      Grenell continued to meet with foreign leaders to promote Trump and his foreign policy as a kind of shadow secretary of State.

      But other factors weighed against him.

      If Grenell was tapped for a Senate-confirmed role, his business dealings in foreign countries — among them plans to build a $500 million hotel project with Trump’s son in law Jared Kushner in Belgrade — would have been scrutinized.

      Even though Rubio tops the charts with his hypocritical Trump conversion, at least he's a better SOS pick than others in Trump's orbit.

          Trump is again saying he is planning to eliminate birth right citizenship/. How do you guys feel about that?

          His is also calling for the J6 committee members to be jailed for investigating him. Thank goodness people who call him a fascist get scolded. It's such vilification.

            The jurisprudence seems pretty set on birthright citizenship. Eliminating it should require a constitutional amendment.

            Pardoning the J6 perpetrators - though legal - is bad enough. Attempting to criminally prosecute members of Congress for performing their constitutionally-appointed duties would be a huge affront to the Constitution.

              Right. But he is going to try and do these things. He is trying to fill his cabinet with individuals who won't hold him in check, will enable him. My point is that it is accurate to call him authoritarian and fascistic. If he gets Patel in charge of the FBI, do not think that things like this won't be tried.

                    That may be the first BB thing I've laughed at in a long time.
