    An address that showed many world leaders, completely unfiltered by the media, how sick and deranged he is. An absolutely pathetic display by a supposed strongman. Slurring his words, mistaking Iceland for Greenland several times, and going on racist tirades. Carney’s speech the day before is a stunning contrast.

    You have to remember, it’s “The Lion’s Den” to them because Conservatives view anyone who isn’t “in the in-group” as an enemy, There are no allies to a fascist, just potiential targets. To them you’re either the strongest man in the room, or you’re prey, and they fully intend on being the predator.

    Here’s the freakiest thing.

    Ask them about things like music, art, or philosophy and they’ll tell you that we Americans must stick with the European traditions.

    Ask them what they hate the most, and they’ll tell you Europeans.

    It was definitely historic but not in the way I imagine Vance thinks. Fucker incoherantly babbled for an hour while throwing direct threats towards Canada and of course, Greenland

        Well, it’s certainly never been done before. This level of insanity is pretty historic.

        Because of the direct threats. He’s threatened Canada before, but this time he pretty directly told us to “watch ourselves or else” which Canadians will absolutely remember.

    We really should be at a time of unprecedented peace right now, but lunatics want to stir the pot to line their own pockets and mold the world to their warped vision instead of letting things progress naturally. It’s a sick folly that we are all whim to. Free market my ass.

      Trump and his followers want war, they want the “Inferior Breed” crushed before them. They claim the “Lesser Kind” are aggressive and it’s a matter of “getting them” first, but they know that’s bullshit. They label their “enemies” as wrong, simply so might can make right.

      They’re already so rich they don’t even know what to do with a percent of what they have. And still not enough.

    It was historical alright…

    It’s just more of a “Hitler tweaking at the Olympics” type of historical than “I have a dream” type of historical.

    A forum full of Epstein’s closest friends seems like a lion’s den to me. Trump is just another particularly flabby lion.
