Donald I, emperor of the world.

*And deep breath*.

Do we really know many details of this 'deal' yet?

No.

No.

I don’t think Denmark and Greenland know either. I expect the Netherlands and Iceland will tell them tomorrow.

From what I have been told, he's in nappies, so that's one 'continent' at least! 😆

I know this is entirely wrong and juvenile (no change there then), but everytime I hear of Iceland, I still immediately think of the supermarket and prawn rings. 😀

Unmentioned as yet (as far as I can see), but equally pernicious and nasty, enabling racists everywhere -
Trump paints himself as great white hope in racism-drenched Davos speech

Trump surmised: Yes, we might have our internal squabbles, but I am bringing tough love because we are all in this together. We are the standard bearers of western civilisation. We must resist the barbarian hordes. We must save the white man.

Not even thinly veiled. But then his father was a racist too, so we probably shouldn't be surprised.

This is actually a humane take on Trump's mental state from AOC. She's not mocking his batshittery at all, but wonders what those watching him mentally decompose in front of the world think they are doing: the press and especially his GOP enablers are complicit.

This is an excellent juxtaposition: the SC 'Kavanaugh Stop' ruling, and the photo below, someone already restrained being pepper sprayed right into their face. I find it hard to imagine the mindset of these brutal thugs. These types of photos are going to end up in the history books: it's so sad that we have to go through this cycle yet again, despite the "never again" cry after Hitler. What is wrong with these people?

(Also today, a whistleblower has released a secret memo to ICE saying that they should enter houses without a warrant, in direct contravention of the 4th amendment.)

This 4yo was taken away by ICE when his father was detained, and held by them for 24 hours, when his family didn't know where he was. I'd happily lock each of these ICE thugs up for 24 years.

And yet the likes of Schumer are afraid of withdrawing funding for ICE, FFS, as it might take attention away from the price of eggs, or something.
