Even if this was all legitimate and moral, which it is not, it is bound to be completely ineffective. If anything the illegal drug market is very capitalistic. More danger, higher price. Higher price, more criminality, more gang violence, more corrupt cops.

I agree with you. What has changed is that he was selfish and controlled enough not to embarrass himself too much and that control is gone. He just lashes out when he feels threatened or demeaned. He would have sad "nasty person" or "low IQ".

I would really like the press to ask every GOP senator and every GOP House member to explain how the pardons of the President do not undermined our legal system AND are not insanely corrupt. They have the power to stop it.

It would have been at least a little more edifying if this was NOT all about grifting again.

Are we at war with Druglordistan?
Have operatives of Druglordistan threatened our soldiers or civilians?
Do we execute operatives of Druglordistan if apprehended and convicted in the US?
Do we have alternatives to blowing up presumed Druglordistan boats that would allow due process?

In this day and age of smartphones everywhere, it is really hard to keep things secret. Much harder than it used to be. I am sure someone was smart enough to record Whiskey Pete's eruptions.

With Stephen Miller celebrating Thanksgiving in the family crypt there is no one to control his smartphone and this is what you get, threats to airlines flying to Venezuela and insane claims about drug costs.

I think he has always been awful, but he is now saying these things at times when they hurt his image and he would not have done that in the past.

There is no “escalating standoff”. That requires two parties escalating.
Another MSM attempt to sanewash Trump’s belligerent ravings.
A panicking half-demented con artist and his entourage are desperate.

The illusion has to be maintained even when it is painfully obvious to anyone but the most moronic cultist that the reality is the opposite.

As JD Vance is not mad or dumb, the only reasonable conclusion must be that he is not religious at all and just plays hard to look like one. Otherwise he would be terrified defying this mild mannered Pope who is just explaining the Gospels to him and his fake Christian co-cultists.

I am sure the Norwegian Nobel Peace Prize Committee will consider his efforts to stop ten wars (or how many it is up to now) without paying attention to what his Department of War’s deluded cosplayers are doing.

Not just authoritarianism. Full scale banana republic, shithole country corruption. Just pay him enough and your troubles will disappear. I would not be surprised if he is “negotiating” with the other drug lords. Impeachment, conviction, and prison.

Can we please be real? Investing? What we see is an enormous increase in gambling, not investing. In trying to make quick money without working for it, in lazy money. And sure the WSJ representing those making money of these “investors” is welcoming it.

He cannot help it. His frontotemporal dementia makes him lose any remaining inhibition to keep his insults somewhat decent. It shows his true misogyny and racism. Keep probing him for more.
