Now its let them get their land back!?!?.....when before it was they need to give it up and more besides to finish the war.

 

What your watching is upside down diplomacy......Ukraine getting all its land back should have been the Trump opening position upon taking office.....instead he sign posted that he, the US has no attachment nor stomach to assist Ukraine reclaiming any land.....this is moronic proxy war management.

 

I also note at the UN he repeated his recent mantra.....that enhanced US sanctions on Russia are dependent on the Europeans doing them first.......a little bit like the Federal Reserve......Donald is getting his excuses and his fall guy setup for later on......when the economy underperforms its Jay Powells fault......when Ukraine's front line collapses its the European's fault.....as somebody who has been running away from personal responsibility his whole life at 80yrs of age I must admit he has become very skilled at it.

Reuters - World, Greenland / Denmark [September 24^th 2025] : Denmark's PM apologises in person to Greenland women over forced contraception

 

- - - o 0 o - - -

 

Wikipedia : Spiral Case

 

Absolutely gruesome, horrifying, creepy and crazy story. A total disgrace for Denmark [, here understood as Southern Denmark], and a dark chapter in the whole history of [Southern] Danish and Greenlandic relations.

 

There is a lot to make up for here. The apology opens up for a waterfall of litigation against the Danish State, and honestly, so it should be.

 

These interventions performed by Southern Danish Doctors in Greeland all with medical degrees, but obiously without oxygen supply  to their brains functioning, totally brain dead. Estimated number of Greenlandic girls involved here : Around ~4,000.

 

It's has been a weird and nauseating experience to see TV clips from then with such doctors talking totally openly about what they were doing, no remorse, no reflextions, just doing what somebody in [Southern] Denmark, has decided and told them to do.

You forgot to mention that the pharma tariffs exempt companies that are building plants in the US.  Expect a flurry of "plants" to be started that can quickly transition into corner stores when the tariff is gone.

I also forgot 25% tariffs on heavy trucks which may or may not stack on country tariffs.

Furniture is at 30%. I don’t think it’s enough to get the furniture industry in NC back.

Exactly….….Trump wants lots of announcements between now and the midterms….as we all know he cares little for the boring grind of policy implementation and much prefers the glitz and glamour and immediate gratification of PR events and investment announcements with not a page of legal paper behind them!

Yeah i think democrats have a lot to answer for.....the reason Trump can talk about lawfare with any credibility is because the New York case (the mortgage fraud one) was a proactive trawl through his business past to 'get him'.....not unlike the Cook mortgage case proactive trawling of documents for 'got yas' is not the way the justice system should work........the Stormy Daniel hush money case has a election integrity angle and Trump clearly knew paying her off directly was problem in terms of inkind campaign finance violations....hence the need to conceal and obfuscate via Michael Cohen payment. Guilty as charged.

 

Classified documents case fair enough....Trump was being a baby and wouldn't give back his toys/ i.e. gov documents.....Georgia election interference yep the tapes we're there the President of the US should not be calling up States looking for officials to find 10,552 votes (end of story).....

 

Big mistake was this mortgage fraud case in NYC.....it was lawfare....it was poltically motivated and it backfired....Letitia James has a lot to answer for!

 

The difference between Comey and all of the above....is that there is no evidence that Biden was directing these cases from the WH.....these we're fundamentally democrats at a state level playing politics (in the case of mortgage fraud) and/or carrying out their duties (whatever way you look at it).......the Comey indictment....the truth social posts to Bondi....the resignation last week of Eastern Virginia prosecutor to be replaced by blonde bombshell former beauty pageant contestant and Trump's former lawyer is on a whole other level.....that no career prosecutor in that office was willing to stand in front of the grand jury tells you everything....Pamela Anderson just dropped into that office last week had to go up herself (pretty much unheard of) and pitch it to the Grand Jury.

I don't know much about her, but it's almost like you wrote an ad for why she should be the next billionaire plaintiff's billboard lawyer if she goes into private practice. Maybe vaccine injury practice area  But seriously, she sounds like a great lawyer to just pop in and secure a grand jury indictment all on her own on a marginal case with only a few days of prosecutorial experience under her belt.

Your right - she's basically perfect for job....I'm sure the guys on the Grand Jury we're riveted.

 

Regardless Trump is out over his skis on this one.....couple of my lawyers friends reckon a federal judge will just throw this one out before it even gets to trial due to the pattern of behaviour here (tweets, comments from Trump...then actions...prosecutor firings & installing unqualified albeit bombshell stooges a few days before the statute of limitations runs out)....it all adds up to selective or vindictive prosecution.

 

As I've said a few times.....we are very lucky that America's first tyrant wanna be autocrat President is actually a moron who can't get out of his own way....when he's done the parties would do well to do a postmortem on his abuses & warping of Presidential powers....next time we won't be so blessed with an incompetent like him.

No idea if a federal judge will throw it out (or if the higher courts will reverse any of these rulings on appeal), but it must be a serious uphill battle to get a conviction at trial if the evidence is really so weak that none of the AUSA's want to touch it. I honestly haven't followed closely enough, nor do I know how much of the evidence is in the public domain.

The hunt for Trump started before he was elected with the bullshit link to Russian collusion.  
 

The DNC funded Steele dossier of him enjoying golden showers, that the Kremlin cultured him for years as an agent. A dossier full of shit but used to get surveillance authorisations.

 

Trump Tower meetings with a Russian diplomat (who the Democrats also met) lead into the Mueller investigation.

 

The two year Mueller investigation that couldn’t bring a charge on anything related to Russia.
 

They tried to get him over Stormy Daniel’s and whether it was ‘campaign finance’.
 

They tried again over obstruction of justice because he fired Comney.

 

They tried to get him over the Ukraine phone called about Hunter and Joe Biden.

They tried so many additional time with court case, with like 80 felony counts.

 

Let’s be serious, the establishment really went after Trump.  It was disgraceful and from my view people who orchestrated it should be punished in some way.  It was like a banana republic.

 

 

 

Regarding Comney. He was a partisan hack who admitted Clinton broke the rules with her private server but then decided to take no action.  He leaked on at least one occasion.  He posted 8647 on Instagram.  He was happy to charge people like Flynn for lying, but somehow it’s an issue if he gets charged for potentially lying too?

The 'hunt' for Trump.....is not some special episode....it's called election politics and opposition research. You'll remember all the Obama birther stuff before he was President. The dreging of Bush Jnr's alcoholic past.

 

Like it or not....what Trump calls a witchhunt....in DC is simply called bipartisan cutthroat politics....what marks Trump out as special is what a cry baby he is about being smeared.

Yeah Steele dossier - as above...welcome to the world of opposition 'research'......making shit up isn't exclusive to the DNC....remember Trump linking Ted Cruz's father to the murder of JFK/Lee Harvey etc....as outragous as golden showers.

 

Now I think you have a point re: various Russia Russia investigations....it was a poison pill that Obama deep state left to put a cloud over Trump's first term....it had undermining effect that was dipropionate to the evidence.....though what I would say is that MAGA consistently conflates investigations into Russia/foreign influence on the 2016 election (which was justified based on the evidence) into some witchhunt into Trump...I'm not saying it didn't serve two purposes but you really did have issues with foreign influence in 2016. It was real, it warranted an investigation.

It was a campaign finance proxy and effectively proved that case....I'm not sure how somebody with all their faculties and a median IQ can't decide for themselves that what he did here was nefariously fund his 2016 campaign by routing these payments via Michael Coen.

What a beautiful time when special counsel supposedly working for democrats walked away from charging cause the case wasnt there....unlike say Erik Steibart (Mueller in this scenario) who refused to charge Comey cause the case wasn't there being fired and replace with a bimbo to get the charge.

Lets not forget Flynn plead guilty.

 

Comey had some serious errors of judgement in his role....he had difficult and unprecedented issues to deal with and he fumbled the ball....his most egregious actually helped Trump (the infamous Clinton emails press conference).

 

A bit like Comey's statement.....I've got a whole bunch of faith in the American justice system.....Federal judges first will toss this out and if not then then a jury of his peers....they are going to look at this platry two page indictment then look at pattern of truth social posts & firings/hirings that we're required to bring this indictment send it flying out the door with a clip around the ear for Trump....its gonna be funny to watch.....Trump is moron for attempting this in the ham fisted way he has and frankly it speaks to his poor judgement lack of strategic thinking.......he should stick to decorating the White House, fixing up the Rose Garden and getting that ballroom done.....I will say one thing.......he's doing an amazing job as first lady but a lousy one as President!

Yeah thats the tell here........AUSA's like high profile scalps....republican or democrate...its a badge of honor in this field to drop the hammer on folks like Comey and put his head in your hunting collection......but AUSA's dont bring cases that have even a 10% chance of not securing a conviction at trial and then at appeal....this Comey case must be literal dog poo for it to have been passed over so many times by competent ambitious prosecutors looking to make a name for themselves.

 

Will turn out to be a boondoggle....a damaging one that cheapens the credibility of the Trump justice system (wasn't he meant to fix it?)

There was no case.  It was a campaign of lies to overthrow a sitting president.  There has been no precedence in my lifetime.  It was a lot more than just opposition politics.  People really were deranged.

You need to go back and look at Presidential history….the opposition undermining the sitting President with investigations, smear clouds is nothing new…how about Kenneth Starr and the whole Clinton period?…Nixon & Watergate?….Reagan Iran-Contra?….back further Ulyss S Grant & the Whiskey Ring.

 

As I said what makes Trump unique is what a cry baby he is about it….and how his supporters hook and line and sinker classify cutthroat DC politics as something other than what it is and always will be…ruthless, brutal and relentless tier1 bipartisan politics.
