@misjavanlaatum @anneapplebaum @IndyRichard @misjavanlaatum @anneapplebaum wasn't wrong when she thought that "running a country required a decent amount of intelligence, skill, empathy, etc." It's just that the requirements are different for "running a country into the ground!"

Norwegians, please offers him a super-duper golden Nobel Prize when he arrives on Mars with all his cronies and oligarchs on a one-way ticket.

@anneapplebaum The Peace Prize fixation is all about Barack Obama, the fact that Obama did win a Peace Prize (and Grammy and Emmy awards) and Trump did not.

@anneapplebaum nominate for ig-nobel price?

@FrancoisPrague @anneapplebaum
Yeah, the last straw was several straws ago.

[zetabeta@mastodon.social]

@anneapplebaum
"the last straw"

how many last straws? which last straw? how many will come?

i think first impeachment vote was enough.

my prognosis is not very optimistic.

Great idea, to award him the Ig Nobel Prize. However:

"The Ig Nobel Prize is a prize to promote public engagement with scientific research. Its aim is to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think"

No, that doesn't sound like Trump at all.
* Scientific research.
* Make people think.

Republicans in Congress should REMOVE HIM

@btel @Paul_stilgar @anneapplebaum his father suffered from Alzheimer’s.

@anneapplebaum

But they won't.

Attention needs focus on that fact.

@anneapplebaum @AnneTheWriter1 jd and the heritage boys want people to die. Blaming don is a bonus

@anneapplebaum Thank you for showing US citizens the whole real desaster.

People in Europe don't believe anymore that he or his puppeteers will be stopped. In most peoples' eyes here (with the exception of the far-right), the USA have become a rogue fascist state.

The only thing we can do is protect us against the Kremlin and the White House (same danger now). Or buy California 🤫 https://denmarkification.com/

@FrancoisPrague Grab them by the pussy should have been the last straw. @anneapplebaum

[indyrichard@mastodon.scot]

@FrancoisPrague @anneapplebaum What will it take for someone in the US to remove Donald Trump from office, either legally or illegally? Isn't it obvious that the position is way beyond his physical and mental capabilities, and he is harming the interests of the United States?

@anneapplebaum

"Also, he really is maniacally, unhealthily obsessive about the Nobel Prize."

...perhaps because Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize

I think this is WWE to distract from the job he's not doing.

Yeah, in this regard #Trump is nothing new .. Friedbert, the maniac .. Theophil, the slaughterer .. we have seen that all before.

This is one of the reasons democracy & rule of law where "invented" in the first place.

But people have decided that they rather want to follow orders (even that of a mad man), sooo here we are again.
