If the people responsible for foreign policy in the Trump administration were actively trying to destroy the US's global influence, and thus its power, it's hard to imagine what they'd have done differently in the last few days - let alone the last 18 months.
Ruth Deyermond@ruthdeyermond.bsky.social · 2y agoAnd here we are, three weeks in. Unmanaged hegemonic decline doesn't really do justice to either the speed or the lack of control - less like an unmanaged decline and more like a drunk gibbon roller skating down a greased ski-jump.
Trump dramatically escalated tensions with Oman, which has been negotiating with Iran over reopening and managing shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. During a Fox News interview Monday, Trump said that if Oman interfered with U.S. efforts, the United States would bomb the country. #TheCityBrief
"Today marks the end of the sixty-day negotiating period in the MOU. By now, we were supposed to have agreements on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s nuclear program. And we do! We can all agree the Trump administration doesn’t know what to do about either problem." www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-won-...
Trump ‘Won’ on Tariffs? Lol.
We’re just measuring degrees of failure.

Obama left office with an Iran nuclear deal and the Strait of Hormuz OPEN. Trump tore up that deal with no nuclear agreement to replace it. Iran then expanded its nuclear program.

The Supreme Court ruled the trump regime can remove democratic appointees from independent agencies. If and When a Democrat comes to power, we MUST remove every damn corrupt, incompetent, toady Republican from all independent agencies. And we must expand the SC on Day 1 to ensure this is a rule
His North Korea statement today has to be his 3476th impeachable offense.
With this Supreme Court ruling today, the next Democratic president must exercise this newfound power & remove every GOP appointee from all "independent" government agencies.
If the Supreme Court can reverse a 95 year-old ruling for a country that is only 250 years old, I need you to UNDERSTAND this country still has no idea what it is or what it stands for other than it’s constant push-and-pull to oppress Black people and eliminate Native people.
We must expand the SC on day 1...not months later...Day 1
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 2mo agoAlito retiring now is exactly why we have to Expand the Court in 2029. He will be replaced by another young radical that Democrats will have to wait 40+ years to replace.
Alito just proved why Republicans get to have their way. They understand raw power. They know that they can't leave their supreme court seats up for grabs with an opposing party in power. Learn something DEMOCRATS.
A horrible looking arch. It should be torn down the day Trump leaves office
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 2mo agoMust be thousands of people hanging by a thread on the structure of that ferris wheel..
I find it shocking that the media and many white Americans are not speaking out about this Nolan Wells situation in Mississippi. This is very disturbing to me.
Heather Cox Richardson for Maine Senate. If she is willing to do it.
I’m doubtful that the Dems will find the best way to win in Maine. That requires courage and strategy. They have none of the first and im not sure about the latter
I've missed a lot on here. The only reason I'm accessing this site now is because I'm out of town. Texas has banned usage of Bluesky unless you go through their age verification platform, needless to say, I don't trust it.
I respected Justice Kagan until this blatant lie. The Supreme Court is a corrupt rubber stamp for the trump regime. It needs to be abolished.
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 4w agoKagen doesn't get it. This is not 2016, this is 2026, the stacked court has absolutely been a rubber stamp for Trump.
Chuck Schumer must go!!! Along with his strongly worded memos! Such bullshit!
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 4w agoGovernor Gretchen Whitmer is getting worse and worse. She is endorsing people who will hinder progress & support Chuck Schumer.
The legacy media sat there while Trump lied about the past elections and "joked" about running again in 2028. They did not boo. They did not walk out. They just sat there and ate their dinner. The journalists in that room will be remembered as the journalists in that room.
When the Republicans are destroying the country, we no longer hear the words inflation, debt clock, debt ceiling. Oddly quiet while they are robbing the US Treasury and will leave the country broke like a 3rd world nation
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 3w agoWhy aren't we hearing the word inflation by reporters in the news media? Or is that just a Democratic issue?
Mitch McConnell is either deceased or has lost his speaking/reasoning abilities. Either way he should at minimum do a live Fox News interview on camera.
James Comey has never deserved any respect or support as he is under fire from Trump's regime. He deserves the hell they are putting him through. Don't forget he set in motion the last 20 yrs of hell with Trump. Comey deserves what he gets.
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 3w agoI still can't forgive Jim Comey for what he unleashed on this country with his hit job on Hillary Clinton.
Every single one of these fucks could have voted to convict him and they’d still have their seats and Trump would be in the dustbin of history but their cravenness and cowardice doomed them.

Y'all knew the Republican Senators were always going to find a way to confirm whomever Trump wanted. They never cared about any of the corrupt slush funds & tax deals.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 2w agoFYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.
America is a racist, dysfunctional society.
JG Restore America@jgrestore.bsky.social · 2w agoSometimes, you just have to see America for what it is. People watched Roe be overturned by Republicans, and then put them in charge of the House & Senate. They watched Trump launch an insurrection & put him back in the White House.
There is ZERO physical or video evidence of Mitch McConnell being discharged from anything. The media need to quit running with these typed "statements."
I don't think Ohio/Iowa are going blue this year. Republicans outvoted Denocrats there gor the primary elections in the contested races.
