    I didn't know it was childish to laugh at a joke.

      Dude, that's a point that is so obvious it does not need making. And I am well aware of what the term that I used means (I have googled it before! Maybe you should google it). I think you are making light of things without basis. Reducing every concern to a ridiculous one does not help and it discounts concerns that were correct and have come to pass. I have been watching you and others make light of frank's (for example) for 10 years, and yet frank has been right more than almost anyone else on this board (way more than his foils shaka and dabrockster), and people STILL give him shit for raising the warning flag.

      Things are bad and getting worse, and some people are keen to keep pointing out that "it could be worse!" At some point, I would hope that we would take the "things could be worse" comment regarding Trump and realize that things will very likely get worse before they get better. What better evidence could there be than Trump's letter to the Norway PM? You yourself noted that we have a child as a President, but then push back against concerns that we have a child at the helm? I can't think of a bigger "Oh Brother" than that.
      Every now and then a blind squirrel gets a nut.

      When every fucking post is a warning bell, It’s bound to hit.. So yeah.. I take his little victories with a grain of salt and I am not even sure what you are saying was right when they are full of broach brushes of all things What I do see is the rescue parties show up as soon as Frank says the proverbial “Stop being mean to me”..

        Is...Trump in the room with you Scott?

        "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

            SAD!

            Trump needs to stand strong. Keep at this whole "Greenland will be U.S." thing going, along with the "Canada will be U.S." thing. Also, more tariffs! And might as well send U.S. troops in to Minnesota to sow more chaos and ruff up some more protesters. What else? Oh yeah, keep stonewalling on releasing the Epstein files, and throw in some more DOJ investigations of political enemies.

            All of this. Keep it up. NO TACO!
            Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              There are now daily instances of "Bad Trump!', a scold that carries the heft of scolding a pet after it pees on the carpet. If only we smack him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper.

                    Here is the full interview of Scott Bessent if anyone is interested (I found it to be interesting.).

                    Rather than these snapshot statement from an over 30-minute interview. To curate your narrative.

                      People keep talking about the destruction of NATO. Again, chicken-little statements. Presidential leaders across NATO and the U.S. are not going to do that in consideration of why we are aligned. Mutual protection. When looking at defense spending the U.S. core over 60% of all military spending and about 16% of the direct budget. Germany is the only other one at that same level. No county is going to move to remove that level of funding. As for damage of our relations. Every previous President has done things to damage relations but the leaders move that past and adjust to each leader as those change. 3-years is what many of them are thinking. Or they are looking at what ways can we get something beneficial to us out of this.

                      Either way, NATO will still be intact..

                        Trump's clear cognitive decline is manifest almost exclusively to his inability to obscure his narcissism.

                              Seems like you are ignoring a lot of statements from a lot of leaders of NATO countries.

                              Regardless, consider the situation we are in: discussing whether NATO will survive based on the unilateral actions of our President, and his unwillingness to stop talking about seizing or even taking by force the territory of a NATO ally. Unprecedented (for a very good reason).

                                Trump doesn't give a crap about NATO, and said multiple times during his previous term that he wanted the U.S. out.
