Oh brother, this spells trouble. Actually, it already has.

You need only understand one word when it comes to Trump, acceptance. For the next three years anyway. He's not going anywhere no matter how much you whine.

We’ve accepted that Trump has no morality.

 

[Dorian Mode]

I admired you predicted it but I predicted that as well, because of the pattern of Obama and Biden, it stood to reason Trump would and I predict the next president will do the same.

The two parties are at war and what the Obama and Biden administrations did to Trump are beyond reprehensible and absent of any respect for the office of the POTUS or of the DOJ. To expect Trump to just forgive the democraps and let them continue their unhinged war on Trump unimpeded is only something a moron/democrap could ask for. Trump has been remarkably civilized compared to what the democraps were and still are. Trump should be ignoring the rest of the world and spending every waking moment destroying the fabric of the corrupt democrap party until all their scams, fraud, waste and abuse are closed down and tens of millions of democraps have to earn an honest living doing something useful and productive.

You can have your silly opinion but facts are Obama used the IRS and also the FBI during the 2016 elections. Biden used all out lawfare against Trump and several other enemies of the Biden administration, it is a fact and opinion shared by most Americans that aren’t far left.

The lie you perpetuate cost the left an election, so keep up the good lie.

You’re pretty fond of saying “it’s a fact” as though you’re some arbiter of truth.

The IG did a thorough investigation into the IRS scandal and disagrees with your “facts”. I guess you know something they don’t?

False equivalences abound when trumple's backs are to the wall. Nothing that happened during Obama or Biden's admin comes close to this.

‘I don’t need international law’: Trump’s Wild West doctrine freezes European brains​

But international law needs Trump. His approach poses an existential threat not just to global agreements such as the Paris climate accord but to the European Union, the world’s biggest factory for international legislation. Every year the EU produces more than 2,000 directives, acts, regulations and other legal documents guiding the economic and societal lives of its 27 member countries.

In an American-dominated world where the rule of law doesn’t matter, the EU’s legislative machine could quickly become a quaint anachronism. The first week of 2026 has once again exposed the paralysis and powerlessness of Europe’s leadership to respond to an American president who proudly boasts the only thing that can stop him is his own sense of “morality.”

“It’s a very important moment,” said one diplomat from a European country, granted anonymity, like others, to speak freely. “There had been a tendency in European media to make fun of Trump and his people and present them as stupid and sometimes even as madmen. I think that’s wrong. They’re highly capable.” (I disagree, unless the reference was to being capable of creating chaos)

But their mission, this diplomat said, is clear: to do whatever is necessary to advance the interests of the U.S. and the Trump administration. The White House doesn’t care about being a good ally to Europe, and is more than prepared to criticize, threaten, bully and perhaps attack the old continent. “This cannot be a surprise,” the diplomat said.

‘I don’t need international law’: Trump’s Wild West doctrine freezes European brains

European countries are trying not to think about how much they still need Donald Trump. Some diplomats say it’s time they did.

We are not a part of the EU, nor should we be. Presidents should stand up for the people of America as that who elected them. I am not seeing that the EU has our bests interest in mind. That Europe doesn’t know where they stand is laughable, we owe Europe nothing.

Also, between bombings and drone strikes, Obama and Biden were all about bombing countries and you didn’t care.

I was against the bombings, I don’t think we have a right to replace Maduro, I am consistent as I don’t care who is in power.

I am not saying Maduro is a good guy, he was despicable and I realize the people of Venezuela are happy and finally free of his oppression but it want our place to take him out. I also had no issue with bombing drug boats.

The IG did a thorough investigation into the IRS scandal and disagrees with your “facts”. I guess you know something they don’t?

Again, the facts are what they are, everyone with a brain knows that if a political party out of power is having issues getting government approval and the other side is, there is something wrong. You can believe all the spin you want, you seem to only believe the spin you want. Evidence says Rittenhouse was innocent but I don’t think you agree, do you?

The IG report found that liberal and conservative groups were targeted by the IRS. Furthermore, there was absolutely zero indication there was any political motive, let alone any reason to believe it was Obama.

That’s the result of the report. All you have is argument from incredulity and that’s weak compared to actual facts.

Trump Lays Out a Vision of Power Restrained Only by ‘My Own Morality’​

President Trump declared on Wednesday evening that his power as commander in chief is constrained only by his “own morality,” brushing aside international law and other checks on his ability to use military might to strike, invade or coerce nations around the world.

Asked in a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times if there were any limits on his global powers, Mr. Trump said: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

“I don’t need international law,” he added. “I’m not looking to hurt people.”

When pressed further about whether his administration needed to abide by international law, Mr. Trump said, “I do.” But he made clear he would be the arbiter when such constraints applied to the United States.

Mr. Trump’s assessment of his own freedom to use any instrument of military, economic or political power to cement American supremacy was the most blunt acknowledgment yet of his worldview. At its core is the concept that national strength, rather than laws, treaties and conventions, should be the deciding factor as powers collide.
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/us/politics/trump-interview-power-morality.html
This would be shocking even if trump were not immoral. It gives some revealing insight in to how he views the world and his place in it. It hate the term "permission structure," though if ever it fit in describing a construct by which trump is completely unrestrained by laws, treaties and conventions, this is it.

"My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”

There are a number of words to describe that. Megalomania, malignant narcissist, grandiose delusion. Here are a few more. Dangerous, deranged, perilous, deluded.

Someone who thinks like that is the last person in the world who should be in control of the most powerful military force on the planet. Made worse because the normal constraints placed on any prez by Congress and the SC are almost entirely absent thanks to R's abdication of their responsibility to the citizenry and the Constitution.

lol...oh trumpy you rapscallion you...apologize right now and play nice

 

[Marener]

That is not what was found but you are entitled to be wrong.

I bet you didn’t even know of the existence of the 2017 IG report. It was never covered in the right wing media bubble that created the scandal in the first place.

 

[kyzr]

C'mon man, I know you know that isn't right. Getting away with committing a crime doesn't make what you did legal.

You calling it a "crime" doesn't make it a crime. If its not a crime, its legal.
Its congress' job and the SC's job to keep the president within the law.

I am not seeing that trump has our best interests in mind. Your "go it alone, I don't care about our allies" approach is as myopic as it is dangerous.

We are fortunate to have such a moderate forward thinking president. Not like the last Cold War relic.

He'll be functionally finished and washed up next November.

I have read the report, and you have no ******* clue what I watch or listen, all you have is your hate, your agenda and your classic BS right wing BS media claim. You people are so ignorant it is pathetic.

 

[berg80]

You can believe all the spin you want

Not spin. The IG's report.

You calling it a "crime" doesn't make it a crime.

Once again the MAGA mantra, truth is relative.

I find it hard to believe given the report does so much to dispel your right wing narrative.

Yet you never seem to acknowledge crucial facts about the IRS targeting.

Not to mention you blame Obama with zero evidence. An argument from incredulity is a logical fallacy.

You should watch the Jack Smith testimony. Your media bubble isn’t going to cover it, so you should try and stay informed. But I’ll warn you. It’s not going to be good for your fragile worldview.

This coming from a group that tried to tell Americans that Biden was cognitive, even Bidens physician claimed he was competent. A group that claimed that the right wing media was taking Bidens videos of him lost on stage out of context. Than even after a debate where Biden claimed we beat Medicare, Dems were claiming he won the debate and even after that several Democrats claimed he was competent. Then the Biden administration and Democrats claimed Biden didn’t have any knowledge of Trumps home being raided.

After so many lies, I really have no trust in what comes out. Much like many of your colleagues here believe the unemployment and inflation numbers for November were lies.

You give me no reason to trust you, and you far left wing agenda no more than I trust the far right wing agenda. You and your ilk created this lack of trust in politics.

TRANSLATION: MY interests are obviously not YOUR interests!

Your "go it alone, I don't care about our allies" approach is as myopic as it is dangerous.

TRANSLATION: Damn, Trump is pulling the USA out of all these global affairs that we BANKED on so we could cruise!
Berg is telling us how far out not to go from a guy who never left.

Problem is: Trump keeps being right, Trump keeps winning. Trump keeps proving the Left wrong.
