The US-Denmark meeting proved fruitless. Denmark is deploying its military to Greenland, even if the threats do not materialise, it’s the perfect attack on NATO. Russia couldn’t wish for a better blow to the transatlantic alliance, as the US now mirrors Russia. Even if Trump loses power and a new administration takes over, the US can no longer be trusted. The alliance for freedom cannot be led by a country that can turn authoritarian this easily.

⭐️ “A Kleptocracy or Democracy?”⭐️

In the halls of the wealthy, in marble so wide,

Came a curious plan with a sneaky-sly stride.

“Back to old times!” yelled the billionaires’ crew—

“Before ‘Thirty-Five, when government grew!”

They puffed up their chests and they boomed with a crack,

“We’ll shove every safeguard a century back!”

With court seats and gavels and rulings so mean,

They cheered each attack on the red, blue and green.

They railed against workers and programs that care,

Against elders, the children, the neediest there.

They wanted the clock hands reversed with a twist—

To a time when the safety net barely exist(ed).

But Grandparents remembered what history taught,

How Franklin and neighbors fought battles well-fought.

How Social Security lifted despair,

Protecting our families with dignity, care.

They built up the bridges, electrified towns,

Put hands into labor, and smiles over frowns.

While fairness was rocky and justice not done,

The vision was people—not only the one.

Post-war, a consensus began to take root—

That government’s duty protects ordinary folk.

Opportunity grew like green shoots after rain,

And America flourished through struggle and strain.

Now Trump’s latest pitch, with the billionaires’ grin,

Seeks to tear out the pages we struggled to win.

And push us to eras when corporate kings

Ruled everything—from our laws to our dreams.

But we, dear Grandparents, with hearts strong and true,

Know democracy blossoms when people renew.

By lifting up voices the powerful fear—

We guard all the rights that we cherish so dear.

For freedom isn’t given, it’s tended with care,

By voters courageous who always stay aware.

So onward we stand, like lanterns of light,

The Resharing Brigade keeping truth in plain sight. ✨

I don’t believe that for a minute. TRUMP IS THE PROBLEM THAT CONTINUES UNRESTRAINED. REMOVE HIM NOW!

If I was a duck's avatar

He's only the loud part. Every single Heritage Foundation aligned person in Congress needs to go. The ENTIRE cabinet needs to go. We literally need a Nuremberg moment.

Jamie Murray's avatar

I’m aware of that, but the first fire that needs putting out is Trump able to do whatever his sick mind conjures up to do NEXT.

Start by removing Trump! He’s the rotten head of the fish right now, imo.

Yes … they ALL need to be removed ASAP.

I’m out for the rest of this day … PRAYING 🙏 SOMETHING HAS TAKEN HIM OUT.

Politicians dragging their feet for whatever reason, as it becomes more unmanageable w each passing minute he is STILL IN POWER W TOTAL IMMUNITY!

The SCOTUS made a very LETHAL mistake for granting him that.

They need to REVERSE IT!

Candace Lucas's avatar

actually, you need to remove Pete Hegseth first. He controls the military. With him in charge, it's hard to say which military leaders would obey him, or which would remember their oath to the constitution. the fact that they went ahead and invaded Venezuela doesn't give me a lot of confidence that they would obey Hegseth instead of their oath. That's the snake that would prevent us from removing trump. the snake's head has to be cut off first, so the military is in chaos, then go after everyone else.

EM's avatar

Game theory-ing this when I can't sleep. My latest surmise is that they need to lose these chess pieces, in this order: Miller; Hegseth; Bondi; Noem-&-Corey; Patel; Vought; Homan; Bovino; Bessent; Mikey; Graham; Grassley.

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Vance, too. I know many will call me a conspiracy theorist, but I believe that Trump’s job, unknowingly of course, is to normalise all of this formerly unacceptable behaviour so that when Vance becomes president, whether legally or illegally, he can do even more harm. You think Trump is bad…? It will be worse under Vance. He will turn the US into a theocracy where you only get freedoms and rights if you stay silent, practice Christianity and have a traditional marriage and family and are white, heterosexual and employed.

Remove rump&regime to jail, immediately!

Bob Brough's avatar

I agree, but unfortunately there are quite a few whose intentions are just as bad but don't have the same connections

I believe if Trump is STOPPED - we can start repairing immediately. More Republicans in Congress need to FLIP! Put Trump and his insanity spree to REST under lock & key.

He is certifiable!

Norab33's avatar

no need to be polite! We all need to be speaking whatever truth...and sometimes that means pointing out stupid fucking NAZIS! All the Trumplestilskin synchophants, players, supposed brains behind project 2025, enablers...etc.

When I first heard about project 2025, I figured that one should know one’s enemy. I read their 900 page “playbook” beginning to end. I even wrote a piece on how it actually was unconstitutional disguised as patriotism. I didn’t publish it anywhere, just did it to show my partner, who at that time, supported Trump/Heritage Foundation. You’re seeing it in action.

Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Canada, Germany and France are sending troops to stand and fight with Greenlanders. Will the U.S. military fire on so many NATO allies? Politico, 14-Jan-26 https://tinyurl.com/53auantc

MM Harris's avatar

In the original post, in referring to NATO's "Article 5" the statement "If China or Russia attacked Greenland, the United States would automatically defend it" is now questionable, given the not-quite-behind-the-scenes bromance going on between at least two of leaders involved. Maybe "would ...defend" should be "should...defend" or even, sadly, "might...defend" ...........

Susan Raquel's avatar

trump is so vengeful I wouldn't be surprised if he just decided to bomb Greenland unmercifully. The old if I can't have you, no one can.

Marilou's avatar

Time for military personnel to honor their oath and refuse illegal orders.

Camille Kelly's avatar

How about folks writing to some of these Republicans directly to tell them what you just said. Remind them which countries came to the US 's aid during the gulf War and 9/11. Do they want to be the leaders...cough, cough, excuse me, who are responsible for destroying alliance building relationships and protections? Shame them, force them to think. Same with SCOTUS. This is all thanks to all of them. Then ask them..."Are we great, yet"?

C Bowlby's avatar

Addresses & names?

S. A. Linden's avatar

<www.senate.gov>

<www.house.gov>

Those sites tell you what committees each legislator is on and give contact info. You can't write most House members out of state, but the senators should let you.

I wrote the majority and minority leaders of the Committee on Homeland Security today, telling them to speak out against the ICE abuses, s.a. blinding a young man in one eye w/ a "non-lethal" weapon used by ICE at close range. The video is horrifying and reminds me of all the dictators I lived through. It could have been taken right out of any of those historical situations.

Camille Kelly's avatar

I will work on a list this weekend to make it easier with each name, state, position and email or writing address.

Yup, we done 💩 the bed. Hope those Trumpers have plenty of gold socked away! 🤑 Because gonna need it when our former allies cash in their U.S. bonds and our economy crashes!

Jamie Murray's avatar

I am so SICK of hearing the news as Trump remains to live another day as POTUS! He needs to be taken OUT. I need a news vacation.

Hearing about his daily crimes and horrors is making me physically sick.

joanna windham's avatar

He’s a disgusting man. This is what he’s aiming for. Turmoil hate and fear. We must be strong. Terrible way to live in America.

Janet Hains's avatar

As is Steven Miller.

joannegucci's avatar

OMG - Steven Miller - 🤮

Cyd Peace's avatar

I hate to admit it, but sometimes I wind up cheering the disastrous results of his decisions in that they further prove that jackass's ideas are crap.

Joyce's avatar

Miller needs gone too. They all do, including maga amoeba congress.

S. A. Linden's avatar

CBS needs gone too. That whore that Ellison hired is capable of any propaganda that she thinks helps Donald. Bari Weiss is nothing but a whore to Donald Trump.

Joyce's avatar

I agree with you. I don't watch CBS at all anymore and never watched Fox (except for Gordan Ramsey stuff (but now that can be seen on Tubi the next day usually) for the same reason. Now I see Samsung Plus TV is starting in with the BS trump ads. I am going to write them as well. I wrote Tubi and they said they showed them so they could offer free content with the paid advertising. I imagine that may also be the response from Samsung.

S. A. Linden's avatar

Good for you! They've got to hear from us. We're their customers. It's their bottom line.

Joyce's avatar

Yep and I contact my reps frequently. Last one was to investigate Miller and say no to Greenland and Iceland. I view it as a civic responsibility and not just complain about it which does nothing.

Leah Baum's avatar

I shut off all MSM three years ago and stick with independent media.

Teach84's avatar

Me, too. I don’t sleep and I am a wreck. I have never experienced the emotion of “hatred” before this past year, but I now feel it toward all Republican Congress members and the entire Trump regime.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

I feel you! My sleep sucks! I too feel an enormous amount of "hate" for this regime and how SCOTUS, MAGA Republicans (there are very few "true" Republicans left) are fueling my anger and hatred on a daily basis. I think there are many Americans suffering mentally from this regime.

joannegucci's avatar

FEEL EXACT WAY, last night my body screamed to me “you have to take a break” so i did, but today I’m back! Just letting you know it’s OK to take a break, you know what the feeling feels like in your gut, LISTEN TO IT, TAKE THE BREAK, AND COME BACK, Thank you John.

I feel your pain, Jamie! It's just sickening to see what he has done to this country, and now he's terrorizing other countries as well. It's so hard to not be overwhelmed by this constant barrage of lawlessness.

What the hell is Congress waiting for to get this lunatic out of office?????? How many black eyes can our country take with this ass threatening at least 9 countries so far???

Voters remember this when the repugnants are up for reelection.

Jo Blackwood's avatar

It's on the republican congress. They are complicit in everything he does.

Elaine Ricklin's avatar

A distraction from the Epstein file ?

Teach84's avatar

The Republicans are still backing him and supporting him. Without their votes, he will never be impeached and charged.

Mary Ellen Hill's avatar

Congress is irrelevant under a dictatorship.

Candace Lucas's avatar

yeah, and they're so stupid that they don't realize that once he's confident he has full control, that he will get rid of them, and it wouldn't necessarily be just firing them.

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Congress…. Some have lost their nerve. Others drank too much CoolAid.

Candace Lucas's avatar

i had this thought today: They are all afraid of trump's wrath, but at this point, i almost think they are more afraid of the MAGA voters. I wonder if they are waiting for the midterms, hoping they won't get re-elected (look how many of them have already said they aren't rerunning) so that MAGA can't go after them for doing what needs to be done. The democrats would take the heat, and receive the MAGA threats.

Jenny Brake's avatar

It is more than time to impeach him

Gerry's avatar

Someone inflicted any damage that he “claims”. HE WAS WEARING A FLACK JACKET WITH NO VISIBLE MARKS. HE WAS NOT HURT, HE WAS SWEARING AT HER, AND RAN TO HIS CAR.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

They're all fucking liars! We all watched the footage!

Susan Raquel's avatar

Sure he had internal bleeding. That is why he was discharged from the hospital. Maybe they did a 30 minute emergency surgery/endoscopy.

" The extent of ICE officer Jonathan Ross’s bleeding remains unclear. Video taken of the incident showed Ross walking up and down the street after Good was shot and killed."

" “The officer was hit by the vehicle,” Noem told reporters at a press conference Jan. 7. “She hit him. He went to the hospital. A doctor did treat him. He has been released.”

Debra Horton's avatar

My concerns are that this whole performative approach is quite possibly a prequel to the elimination of that agent, allowing the regime to attack even harder.

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Can you elucidate, please?

We need you all to report on the Sascha Riley interviews! Trump is doing all of this shit so that this testimony doesn’t get reported on!!

Yes. Please get it out there

Who is Sasha Riley? I keep hearing about these interviews and have never seen any. Could you please tell me what it's about?

Gloria C.'s avatar

Thank you so much. This is absolutely horrifying. WHY IS HE NOT IN PRISON!!!!!! Why is this not being more publicized and talked about?

Hollie Noel's avatar

This POS has done nothing but weaken our country. Especially considering all the top secret files he took home and who the fuck he shared them with? I hate that MFKR!!!!

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

I can’t wait for Jack Smith’s public testimony. I will definitely be watching.

Danielle Donovan's avatar

We are listening to MILLER, exploiting a vulnerable elder, whispering his venomous ideas directly into Trump’s own dark delusions.

Joyce's avatar

I wrote my reps and ask that they investigate Miller. I agree, it's Miller who is running the show. He also needs to be gone. He lived about 5 miles from my location. He got scared because the kids in the neighborhood of mostly fdjt supporters drew a hopscotch in chalk in front of his house. He moved and is now living in base housing somewhere. He also had dogwalkers stopped by the Secret Service or whomever ask for IDs. He needs to be gone, too; they all do.

MM Harris's avatar

Interesting concept: elder abuse.....

Karen Q's avatar

But Trump not an innocent elder… “into Trump’s own dark delusions.”

Danielle Donovan's avatar

He’s NOT innocent or decent , but I’m saying he’s not capable at this time. Crafting this widespread mayhem is Clearly beyond his capability. It takes someone equally corrupt who DOES have the strategic capabilities to cue up Trump to say and do things he could never pull off himself. As a former psych nurse we’re looking at an elder who probably would not be found competent in court if he was a regular old guy. He has demonstrated both personality AND character disorders including narcissism and sadism.

Sister

Suzy Weiss, Trump's Secretary of State, is the sister of Bari Weiss. The CEO of CBS Network is a journalist, and they co-founded The Free Press together. Suzy Weiss has worked as a reporter and features writer, while Bari Weiss has held prominent editorial positions at major publications.

Wealthy Spy

That is why CBS didn't show a documentary on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago about Trump

LiseAnn 🇨🇦's avatar

Wrong. Susie WILES is trump's chief of staff. NOT Suzy Weiss.

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Yes, and has never been the Secretary of State.

This whole administration is a damn joke! We don’t have a leader, we have a misbehaving toddler with a big mouth who has no clue wth is going on! Get him out! He is a sicko!

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Most of the toddlers I know behave better, but as one of those “crazy childless” ladies Vance loves to talk about, though in my case it’s dogs not cats, I don’t have much experience with toddlers.

Susan Raquel's avatar

You have to constantly have your eye on a toddler. They get into everything and can make some major messes. They want everything that they can see and often have to have a cookie in each hand. They will mostly eat anything( that's why you see the warnings on small toys) or stick something up their noses.

Remind you of anyone? LOL

Saoirse Kraft's avatar

Well, it reminds me of Trump, of course…. Also my dogs, but I don’t want to insult them by putting them in the same category with Trump. Dogs are much better, fairer, saner creatures.
