    @anneapplebaum I'm not sure even an invasion of Greenland would be a "last straw" for the GOP in Congress. Although some of them have said it would be, they've always fallen in line before.

    My favorite absurdity in this letter is "we had boats landing there, also." The Danes (as part of Denmark-Norway) were there long before the US even existed.

    BTW, I always love your articles. Thank you for what you do.

      He would be perfectly happy if he could stay at Mar A Lago in his Oval Office replica signing things with an AI news feed telling him everyone loves him. A random set of actors could be paraded through and he'd never know they weren't dignitaries.

      @cshlan @anneapplebaum I imagine there's a lot of that going on but also that he's hard to contain and he's being guarded by people who are going to see he gets his way until someone tells them he's incapacitated in a very official way.

      It's only a partial coup at this point. The military and SS are still largely professionals even if the true believers are being removed. People would tell.

          @anneapplebaum The Peace Prize fixation is all about Barack Obama, the fact that Obama did win a Peace Prize (and Grammy and Emmy awards) and Trump did not.

              "the last straw"

              how many last straws? which last straw? how many will come?

              i think first impeachment vote was enough.

              my prognosis is not very optimistic.

                      But they won't.

                      Attention needs focus on that fact.

                        @anneapplebaum Thank you for showing US citizens the whole real desaster.

                        People in Europe don't believe anymore that he or his puppeteers will be stopped. In most peoples' eyes here (with the exception of the far-right), the USA have become a rogue fascist state.

                        The only thing we can do is protect us against the Kremlin and the White House (same danger now). Or buy California 🤫 https://denmarkification.com/

                            @FrancoisPrague @anneapplebaum What will it take for someone in the US to remove Donald Trump from office, either legally or illegally? Isn't it obvious that the position is way beyond his physical and mental capabilities, and he is harming the interests of the United States?

                                @anneapplebaum so many things were meant to be that. The rape accusations. The mocking disabled people. Every other sentence out of his mouth. The riots, the insurrection, the taking WH documents, the nepotism, the more rape allegations and clear proof, the lies, the stealing, the wall, the Files, murdering people in open water, pals with Putin, the Gaza strip video, the everything

                                It goes on and on and on and nothing changes

                                  #DementiaDon has Frontal Lobe Dementia. That means he has lost what little inhibitions and control he once had, and can easily become obsessed with bizarre things.

                                  #Dementia never ends well-- especially if the patient is allowed to keep working, and treated in the media and by those under them as if they are sane and reasonable.

                                  #JDVance and the #GOPmajority will NEVER #invokethe25th to stop him. The Dems need to step up and do that for him, and stop WAITING for the midterms-- Donald's Dementia is too advanced and progressing quickly. People are going to die-- and already have. The world CANNOT wait until then.

                                    @anneapplebaum People in the USA should not forget that the people in #Greenland belong politically to Denmark but most of them are #nativePeople of the #Inuit: https://iwgia.org/en/kalaallit-nunaat-greenland/5393-iw-2024-kalaallit-nunaat.html

                                    Aggressing these people means a repetition of US #colonialism in the worst possible way.

                                      Metaphorically: How does one take the gun away from the toddler? Even the Daddy who gave it to him is ducking and covering. “Hehe, he’s just playing….i think.”
                                      When we all see him an banoonoos we are following the distraction. Grab him by the Epstein and be done with it already.

                                        @Firlefanz @anneapplebaum Of course it’s violently repulsive to even think of the US invading Greenland, so I get that part, but ”Danish” is not a relevant description of the typical Greenlander.

                                          "Donald Trump now genuinely lives in a different reality, one in which neither grammar nor history nor the normal rules of human interaction now affect him. Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

                                          @anneapplebaum He believes the ONLY reason he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize was because, as a super human uber deserving white man, he was a victim of reverse discrimination, and that no talent Latina unfairly got his prize. Machado thinks he should owe her for gifting her prize -- he just sees her as a thief who stole his honor.
