“Has any nation ever drifted so far, so fast from how it viewed itself historically? I dare say a substantial amount of our fellow Americans are still unwilling to honestly appraise what we have become in such a short period of time.

Trump is the emergency.

Every day that he remains in power represents a direct threat to life on this planet. His corruption and deviant behavior are so fully outside of the norms of morality and common decency that the entire world should make removing him from office a top priority.

Putin only grows stronger while Trump is in office. NATO and the rest of the free world should make this sad fact central to their strategic planning.

POTUS not only possesses zero ethical guardrails and boundaries, he luxuriates in his ineptitude and corruption.

The man who is beginning his second week of Christmas holiday at his private Palm Beach resort is summoning Zelensky to Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to force him into accepting a peace deal that heavily favors Russia and Putin’s despotic instincts.

At the same time, Putin himself has spent the past week launching missile and drone attacks on civilians in the middle of the night while they sleep in their apartment buildings and hospitals.

Knocking out power stations in the middle of winter to maximize human suffering while Trump sits poolside at his ‘Winter White House’ and launches attacks on Nigeria as a ‘Christmas Day’ message for his fascist fans (who seem not to realize that the innocent Ukrainians dying every day are also in fact mostly Christians).

Trump’s attacks in Nigeria appear to be another inept attempt at distraction, while posing no strategic benefit to the U.S.A.

Not to mention the now routine murder of the folks inhabiting fishing boats off the coast of Venezuela that have to contend with a U.S. Navy enacting orders of ‘no quarter’ given by a dry drunk frat boy and former Fox News show host (and prolific sexual predator) cosplaying as a Secretary of Defense (I refuse to use the silly ‘Secretary of War’ honorific, which seems designed to appeal to Joe Rogan listeners and the sort of toxically masculine folks who watch UFC fights).” noelcasler.substack.com…
