Except that he's likely to screw up the economy far more than boost it, as the criteria he'll use to appoint Powell's successor will be less how competent or capable he is and more how blindly loyal and how much of an ass-kisser he is. Trump hates experts, which is one reason why MAGAs love him...

God, what bullshit. As I (and others) have pointed out, the USA has guaranteed Greenland's security for decades - at least since the Second World War, and so has Canada, for that matter. We've been willing to help Denmark defend the island for generations, and it is no more in danger of being...

And just think - Powell's term as Fed Chair ends this year, and Trump will get to pick his replacement with a GOP-controlled Senate that has so far rolled over for 90% or more of what he's wanted to do. By this time next year we may be listening to pronouncements from new Fed Chair Stuart Varney...

It's obvious to anyone who has studied the history of Europe in the 1930s and 1940s that many of the propaganda posters and images like these being put out by Trump 2.0 are blatant ripoffs of Nazi and other nation's fascist propaganda posters of the 1930s. The images and wording are strikingly...

Fox News has loved doing that sort of thing for twenty or more years - find some anonymous history instructor at Podunk/Smallville community college somewhere and play up something controversial that he said and make it seem as if all Democrats or liberals agree with him, even though no one...

And it's not just Zen, I would argue that seems to be the view of most MAGAs, given their endless ranting and raving about this topic in their replies to articles on the shooting over the past couple of days, especially once it became clear that Renee Good wasn't threatening the officers or...

Well, he has attacked Minnesota, so I guess he's getting around to America here at home.

Maybe, but I do think that things have changed so rapidly in just the last few months - hell, the last few weeks - that even some foreign doctors are going to start having second thoughts about coming here. Things are rapidly deteriorating in terms of foreigners living here, especially if they...

I'd love to know who the "many" people are who have met Trump who have been positively impressed by him after meeting him and changed their minds about him in a positive way. To the contrary, most of what I've read since 2016 have been people who had never met or dealt with him before who come...

LOL. Good luck with that, Texas. I'm sure that loads of foreign doctors will be falling over themselves to come to Texas to be harassed by ICE and the Border Patrol and treated like shit by the nativist MAGAs who infest that state, and listen to MAGAs threaten to evict all immigrants. Yeah, this...

I've heard this often growing up in small-town, rural NC, and I've heard it many times since - if you're around a cop you need to be on your very best behavior and do whatever they say, or else bad things might happen. I certainly get not threatening them in some physical way or making any moves...

By this point the video evidence seems clear that she wasn't actually a threat to the ICE officers, wasn't trying to run over them as initially claimed, hadn't completely blocked the street as claimed (videos clearly show cars passing hers on the street), and if she did hit him it was barely a...

Same here, except for the subscription. Even before IC switched to On3 I found that this board provides nearly everything I need UNC-related, and lots of great political and pop culture discussions as well. I've never paid for an IC subscription but always just used the IC free boards until they...

We've done just fine without owning Greenland since our founding, mainly because Greenland's rightful owner, Denmark, is a longtime ally of the USA, and because we have always made it clear that any attempt by a hostile power to seize Greenland would be met by American (and very probably...

I saw the first of these in another thread and started laughing at all of the others. He's posted a bunch of others too. This may be what the "Trump-Kennedy Center" is actually reduced to within a year.
