But they touch upon 2 key nerves in the body politic: The tension in a #democracy about how & to whom credit for #public works & programs should be given, & narratives of gratitude particular to #US history, including the gratitude freely offered by #immigrants & #refugees, & the forced gratitude demanded from #enslaved people.

…Compared with the giant banners of Trump’s glowering image hanging on federal office buildings, including the once-independent #DOJ, & the renaming for #Trump of public #landmarks & #memorials such as the #KennedyCenter for the Performing Arts, these banners are a relatively small #authoritarian incursion into the public realm.

A spox for the #Interior Dept didn’t respond to questions about how many banners have been hung, whether they are appearing outside of Washington, or how much the new ad campaign is costing.
They are a bitter topic in a city that gave #Trump’s opponent Kamala Harris >90% of the vote in the 2024 election. “I assume this is what North Korea looks like,” one critic wrote on the Globalist website.

#Trump demands gratitude in DC. So he put up banners thanking himself.

"There is no point in trying to predict Donald Trump's demise; he has proven adaptable and fluid, again and again. But his Iran adventure (coming as it does with a partnership with Netanyahu) has put him into a position where he must sacrifice the coalition that has kept him in power."

"Our idiot president 'can’t even surrender right.' … Over the weekend Paul Krugman quipped that Donald Trump “can’t even surrender right.”
This is correct. …
This guy couldn’t even get his shit sandwich plated and out the door.
Which has now left us at another brink."

"Donald Trump has backed down again in Iran talks, agreeing to extend the ceasefire indefinitely after Iran said it would not attend a second round of negotiations. …
The U.S. ambassador to Israel has been urgently recalled to Washington, D.C., for consultations at the White House, signaling heightened diplomatic attention to the situation."

Mike Brock doesn't accept Tucker Carlson's apology for "misleading" his followers to support Trump:
"Tucker Carlson did not mislead his audience. He lied to them. He lied to them knowing the things he was saying were false, said so explicitly in writing at the time he was saying them publicly, and continued saying them anyway because the alternative" (continued in /7)

"I’ve served three presidents and advised a fourth. I’ve been in and around several White Houses. When presidential aides tell reporters that they’ve had to keep a president out of the room because they believed his impatience wouldn’t be helpful, what they’re really saying is they’re dealing with someone who’s so irrational they don’t trust his judgment."

#Trump admin officials claimed that the officer who shot #ReneeGood had been under attack & was acting in self-defense, & #state investigators have been blocked from accessing #evidence related to the case.
After a 2nd resident was killed — #AlexPretti, a #VeteransAffairs #nurse who was also 37 — #federal officials initially appeared to use the same playbook.

…As #allies confront what some see as a #hostile attitude from the #US, they will almost certainly be unhappy to see that #Defense Secretary Pete #Hegseth’s department will provide “credible options to guarantee US #military & commercial access to key terrain,” especially #Greenland & the #PanamaCanal.

Over his decades in public life, #Trump has never been one for niceties. But even by his standards, the tumult of the past week stood out because it crystallized his determination to erase the #RulesBasedOrder that has governed #US #ForeignPolicy — & by extension most of the Western world — since WWII.

Many scholars of #democracy say that these moves are unprecedented in #US #history & that #Trump has pushed the #UnitedStates toward #authoritarianism.
Trump & his supporters counter that the #Constitution provides for precisely the type of muscular presidency he is exercising & that voters gave him a mandate to enact far-reaching changes to government. [nope & nope]

How #Trump has challenged a constitutional foundation
In his first year back in the White House, Trump has presided over a sweeping expansion of #executive #power while eroding democratic norms.

#Trump’s approach to “leadership” is primarily #transactional. He begins by asking, “Who has more leverage?” If the answer is “me,” he pushes as hard & as publicly as he can, not simply to win but to dominate — extracting the maximum price. For him, #diplomacy is the art of the squeeze. [#MafiaState]

#SCOTUS will hear oral arguments Wednesday on whether #Trump may fire 1 of the 7 #FederalReserve Governors, as he did #LisaCook via his social media account last Aug.
The justices will hear arguments over Trump's request to lift a lower court's decision barring him from firing Cook while her #legal challenge to the removal continues. The justices in Oct agreed to hear the dispute, a decision that left Cook in her role for now.

"Trump told the New York Times that the U.S. may have to choose between seizing Greenland and preserving NATO, arguing that outright ownership matters more than treaties or international law, remarks that prompted warnings from Denmark and other European leaders that any U.S. attack on Greenland would effectively end the alliance and deepen transatlantic tensions."

"Trump said the U.S. will take action to secure control of Greenland 'whether they like it or not,' citing national security concerns and warning that Russia or China could otherwise gain influence, despite firm opposition from Greenland, Denmark, and bipartisan U.S. lawmakers."

Why are we so afraid of acknowledging that the emperor has no clothes. Why is the world (aside from other dictatorships) pussy-foot around the #MadKing of #Merika ? It’s not like GIs will war on the rest of the world at the #Tyrant’s behest now is it?
In case you think it might, let me remind you: the US didn’t win in South East Asia (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos). It didn’t win in Afghanistan (just as Russia failed there too). And the only reason it has won (lossely applied) any recent war was due to a ‘coalition of the willing’.
Why should that ‘coalition’ have any fears at all? Failed democratic leadership is likely the problem and the answer to that problem is entirely within the capacity of revived democratic systems. Vote often, vote informed, vote if you wish to survive, vote for your kids, vote because you must.
