    Scratch Gaza off that list. Ethnic cleansing, anyone?

    Soon to be Italy also, the buffoons son got caught shooting a protected species and his case is now before the Italian Parliament. Expect either high tariffs or a war soon

    So now Trump is threatening to invade Panama, Greenland and make Canada our 51st “cherished state.” He is imposing massive tariffs on China, Mexico and Canada (then backtracking and “pausing” some of them when his action causes a massive stock market meltdown.

    He is now threatening to send U.S. troops to take over Gaza, remove all its citizens in a total ethnic cleansing, and develop it into a “riviera” resort of the Middle East. He is shutting down foreign aid programs through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) that will cause hundreds of thousands of people to die.

    Gee, he is making friends all over the place.

    Well, he did promise to improve international respect for America.

    Meanwhile, China is funding massive aid, infrastructure and goodwill projects across South America and Africa, building goodwill and alliances and the support of local people. Foreign aid is a national security issue — it costs far less to prevent wars than to fund and fight them.

    China gets it.

    John F Kennedy did not establish USAID and the Peace Corps out of pure altruism. He did it because he had seen war and wanted to prevent it. He did it to improve our standing in the international community.

    And Trump is taking a wrecking ball to everything.

    Today’s Stantis editorial cartoon is another near nothing burger, only offering indirect support for Trump’s attacks on education.

    I guess today’s PC indicates that Stantis has actually heard of what Trump is doing. But he has basically no opinion.

    With Trump. is not about “them,” but always, always about him.

    Trump is desperate to get a Nobel Peace Prize like Obama. So he is going to put pressure on Israel to “make peace.” Yeah, sure, just like the Taliban made “peace.”

    I agree that the Peace Prize should not have gone to Obama just for not being “W.” They lowered the bar and invited this kind of trouble.

    And now Trump goes even further off. Clearly he has no compassion for others to suggest this “slum clearance.”

    And how could he pull it off? Well, there is that magic word: Tariffs! Tariffs up the wazoo for countries that refuse to resettle Palestinians.

    Tariffs on Mideast oil! Well, that will work out well for somebody. But not you magats.

    Oh and of course, someone will have to pay for our deploying more military to the Mideast. Here’s a hint: It won’t be any of the rich tech-boys, or other contributors to Trump. (Big money contributors, magats, Not you! You’ll be paying as your patriotic duty to make other people rich.)

    Yesterday’s Molina gives us a nice picture of the goofiness of trumpster fire and the right-wing populism we see at this site.

    Concerning today’s Ted Rall, we are just a violent peoples. We just need to own this fact until we decide to not commit violence.
