US Humiliated At UN

Trump's speech. Oy.

Climate change biggest con in global history, Europe going to hell, Mayor of London wants to introduce Sharia Law, etc. etc.

How is America even taken seriously anymore?

That was one of the most disgraceful speeches I have heard in my lifetime. I stopped trying to count all the lies. Everyone in that room should have walked out. I’m sure Seb wet himself with ecstasy.

I'd forgotten it was scheduled for today, but Trump not only embarrassed the US, he also pre-empted the opening 10:39 of "The View". Today's guest? Kamala Harris.

He didn't cut into any of Harris' time, but he did manage to wipe the complete segment of opening discussions, which appear to have included commentary re: the false information about acetaminophen.

Reporting suggests the only people messing with Trump in this regard would have been his own people. Who knows for sure?

Excerpt about the escalator:

"White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt posted a tweet later, demanding an investigation into whether someone had intentionally halted the escalator.

"But according to someone familiar with the situation, someone in the president’s own entourage accidentally tripped the emergency stop.

"They were able to quickly reset it and move on, but the president’s UN challenges didn’t stop there, a source told The Daily Beast."

Excerpt about the teleprompter:

"However, a person with knowledge of the situation revealed that delegations are allowed to bring their own laptops and teleprompter operators, and the UN was not running it for Trump’s speech.

"The source said that the White House had its own laptop, and UN technicians were not in the booth for the president’s address."

Do you mean… what I think you mean?

Hypothetically… if that were to happen, would things improve? I'm not so sure.

He is 100% right about at least 2 of these things.

Do you have any idea what is happening in Europe?

I think Steve used to post under a different name. Which is fine, I'm just curious as to what it was!

Jay Lerner-Z said: "Do you mean… what I think you mean?"

I mean that someone has to do whatever needs to be done to restore competent leadership, using the minimum level of force necessary.

Oh, okay. My theory was based on you saying that you had forgotten how exhausting I am. I hadn't even posted since before your join date. Anyway, it's not important.

I bolded the qualities I appreciate. I would edit, "dispassionate" in favor of "level-headed" or "even-keeled", however.

You also humbly left out any mention of your knowledge base. But enough about you. Let's talk about me.

EDIT: I'm also enjoying Jonathan Cohen's contributions. Looks like he's been around since '18. Where have you consistently level-headed, smart people been hiding yourselves?

John Adams said: "Trump has violated that oath - repeatedly. Impeachment by Congress is the mechanism for addressing his violations, as it allows for the removal of a president from office for misconduct."

Do you expect that to work in the near future? Like, this year maybe?

If not, then the Constitution provides for other ways to remove tyrants from power.

Re:"the Constitution provides for other ways to remove tyrants from power." I only know of the ways the Constitution prevents a tyrant from taking power (many of which Trump is dismantling). What am I missing?"
