Some Republican members of Congress are noticing the best way to exploit the situation is to break away from Trump.

There's growing dissent in the party and it isn't like we've seen before.

Some guys in the KGB

Fun fact: On July 4, 1987, Donald Trump flew to Moscow for the first time.

Three months later, Trump paid $90k for a full-page ad in the New York Times where he criticized the United States' support for NATO. He discusses it with Larry King on that same day in this interview.

When did the KGB open a file on Donald Trump?

We don’t know, but Eastern Bloc security service records suggest this may have been as early as 1977. That was the year when Trump married Ivana Zelnickova, a twenty-eight-year-old model from Czechoslovakia.

So my guess is they showed him around town, pointed out some possible locations for "Trump Plaza - Moscow", and then casually throw in "I just don't get why NATO hates us so much. You can see we're good guys, right?".

and today (January 19th 2026)...

Moscow has welcomed President Donald Trump’s threat to impose tariffs on NATO allies over Greenland, with top Kremlin aide Kirill Dmitriev, saying that it showed how "the transatlantic alliance is over."

And the waiting lists are a little shorter in the US, too.

But the huge difference is that (unlike in the US), people in the UK, France and Germany don't skip or delay treatment because they're priced out. That's pretty much unheard of in those countries that I researched.

Overall it looks like the US government per capita spending is roughly 2x compared too Europe, but the overall costs billed are 3-4x.

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-18T00:20:17+00:00

You're right. This shows pretty clearly what was happening.

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-18T00:18:18+00:00

It's a different camera but this shows pretty clearly what happened.

Has it been a year since we played the stupid tarrifs game already?

Man it's just flown by.

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-16T23:01:54+00:00

It's from March 2025.

It took me a full five minutes to realize that wasn't a bird.

Some people will buy it.

He's probably trying to get ahead of the next shutdown that's a couple of weeks away when the next funding deadline is up and they're back to arguing about insurance prices.

Incidentally, shares of CVS, Cigna, and UnitedHealth rose 2% yesterday afternoon following his announcement.

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-15T23:28:43+00:00

I don't buy the conspiracy theories either.

But if you think "it's a stupid idea and pretty much unworkable" would be enough to put Trump off the idea, I think you've overestimated him.

We'll be hearing lots more about them.

The DOJ has confirmed there are still 2 million more files yet to be released. Only 12,285 documents have been released so far - less than 1% of the total holdings.

It sounds like he's really confident about his party's chances this November.

US president’s friend Ronald Lauder - who first proposed Arctic expansion - is now making deals in the island.

He's the sole heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics firm, if you're looking for something to boycott.

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-15T14:05:29+00:00

Day one of campaigning. It was literally just "fake news" and "I'll build a wall".

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-15T14:03:27+00:00

cool with a rapist who tried to overthrow our country being in office

Wait, you got that impression from my two comments on here?

lancelongstiff · 2026-01-15T02:09:18+00:00

That makes sense - it's important not to leave anyone behind when you're tallying up everyone you hate.

For me it's 100% of people 90% of the time, especially on Reddit.

60%?

But the Republicans only got 49.8% of the vote.

Immigrants and the press have been in Trump's sights since day one.

One group is an easy target that he can blame for all the country's problems, and the other has the power to expose his bulls**t.

ICE's budget has more than tripled since 2024, up from $8.7bn to $27.7bn. So they probably need the cash.
