I fucking hate liberals. Trump is awful between Gaza, ICE, Venezuela, Epstein, and a dozen other problems. None of that matters to these shitheads except Trump wanting to invade Greenland.

Sure. Let's just ignore Jackson forcing thousands of Native Americans west of the Mississippi onto reservations. Or Washington, Jefferson, Maddison, and Monroe all owning slaves. Let's forget about Biden starting the current genocide in Palestine, the previous century of presidents who sanctioned Palestinian genocide, Pol Pot, Bosnia, East Timor, or Guatemala. Forget about the lead up to the Civil War. Or the Depression. Or the Recession. Forget about the millions of dead Native Americans and black slaves.

Clearly, Trump is literally worse than Hitler.

I think the difference up until recently was competence and facade, but in Trump 2, and particularly the Greenland thing, it's clear to see that he's completely lost his mind.

In Trump 1 he essentially fulfilled the same position as Biden and Obama, and every modern other President before them - with the continuation of Republicans only being a little bit more outright evil than democrats.

In Trump 2 however, the guardrails have come off and he's proven himself not only to be incompetent, but also uniquely bold in his evildoing. From a utilitarian perspective sure, not as many people have died or been enslaved under him, but for the time and trend of politics at the moment he is pretty terrible.

I don't think seizing a company headquartered in Ireland to avoid taxes is going to have the effect they are envisioning here

I didn't read it as anything beyond denying them that particular tax haven

It was phrased as "seizing property" though

Seize the means of Tax Evasion

Those companies usually have multinational offices/facilities and/or sales in the EU, if they're not too small to matter. Or even if they are too small to matter, they'll have to operate under EU law or lose their EU customers.

I dont understand why Starmer, for example, wouldnt go after Musk in the same way he has Abramovic. I dont think twitter helps him politically, surely Musk doesnt help him financially.

Didn't Denmark just scare Trump away from Greenland (for now) by threatening to sell like $100 million of treasuries, or some small amount like that?
