No One Was Prepared for How Brutal the New Trump Administration Would Be

[What Would Jesus Do?]

I'm recommending today's edition of DW's Berlin Briefing entitled "Is Donald Trump strengthening European ties?"

DW, for those who may have forgotten, is Deutsche Welle. Think of it as Germany's BBC. Sober reporting that you may want to add to your regular news diet.

The link for the show is the audio version but if you click the "Read More" button you'll also see the video.

If you have DW on your streaming device - which you should - that has the video version as well.

If you are used to America's main news sources you may feel like something's missing. There is. No food fights, no name-calling, no lies.

DW Berlin Briefing – DW

From Trump's victory, the German government collapse, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to evolving European security dynamics, this video podcast explores how these events impact Germany and the wider region.

Moderate republicans are not liking trump either. Finally!

 

[Formerly Rockymtnole]

I was going to start a thread on how Paul Weiss law firm caved to Trump but it’s just another day’s news.

They are really just overwhelming everything and everybody.

Trump's current posture is in stark contrast to his previous administration, and even more stark contrast to Biden. It was evident from the 2021 G7 Summit that Biden was no political threat to anyone.

It's not just about current actions, it's often about about if the action is in character compared to prior actions.

Crazy Filthy Don has overloaded the canoe and its about to sink, with the storm thats coming in. Not my problem or do i care.

If they were moderate, they wouldn't be Republicans. Trump has owned that party for a decade now and he's turning it over to fascists. Anyone with a conscience or morals would have left after 1/6 and would have absolutely jumped ship after those who sent 140+ police officers to the hospital were told they committed no crimes. A handful of "moderate" Republicans in Congress could stop Trump and Musk TODAY. Literally a handful. The GOP is a fascist party in thrall to a murderous dictator and willing to sell out a democratic ally to curry his favor. And the Democrats in Congress just sit on their thumbs.

LOL...whut??? Unless you mean he had people in place who refused to do what he wanted, this admin is just Trump Part 1 unleashed.

You need to put down the MSNBC.

The majority of Americans do not like Trump.

The majority of Americans do not like Trump.

Those that thought they liked him are beginning to figure it out.

RINOs never did like Trump. FIFY.

 

[ISUBryce]

Unlike Republicans and Trump, who call the free press illegal.

RINOs never did like Trump. FIFY.

RINO is just a dumb label for dumb people to describe people in their own party who say/do things they don't like

RINOs are dumb republicans who show their stupidity by siding with democrats. FIFY.

Gee, who told you Trump 2 would be vastly different than Trump 1? You were warned.

No. That is why our government DOESN’T work, genius.

RINOs are smart republicans who show their intelligence by siding with democracy. FIFY.

No, Republicans are supposed to work with Democrats and VICE-VERSA........for the common good of all Americans. You sir, are a piece of shit human

These are little things in the big picture and a law firm is just trying to survive, it guess

Your belligerence is a sure sign that you know you’ve lost the argument.

I love people who use stupid acronyms in place of thoughtful commentary.

Absolutely agree. You do have to remember it has a left bias like every European news source, but it's interesting to get the mainland European media view of the world.

 

[BioHawk]

You need to put down the MSNBC.

You need to face the reality that all the "extremist" and "hyperbolic" talk that was said about what Trump would do if elected during the election was spot on, if anything didn't go far enough to describe what he is doing. I don't think anyone had "Give Elon Musk complete and total access to the most secret of the secret files and plans of the government and then let him just do whatever with it" on their Bingo sheet.

Or as some of us would say, "a rational honest-journalism bias."

FIFY, but perhaps that went without saying.

Trump is the ultimate RINO. He’s just a populist with no core beliefs and he’s in no way conservative. He’s not even consistent 1st term to 2nd term.

 

[Tom Paris]

I don’t watch MSNBC, fascist.

I do and will defend it until they settle for 787 million for lying, and their lawyers admit in court they lie…having said that…he’s a fascist. 😄

You can use whatever label you like. Hell, call it “Fred” for all I care. Trump checks the right boxes for us Limbaugh conservatives.
