Europe’s Fear: #America Is Now the Risk, Not the Guarantee
_____

#Europe is now saying the quiet part out loud. A #French senator mocked #Washington as “the court of #Nero.” #Portugal’s president claimed #Trump is “objectively… a #Soviet or #RussianAsset.” #Denmark’s intelligence warns the U.S. uses #tariffs to “assert its will,” and #VonDerLeyen says Europe must take full responsibility.

Europe’s Fear: America Is Now the Risk, Not the Guarantee

Europe’s leaders and intelligence services are publicly reclassifying the U.S. as a pressure point: NATO doubts, Ukraine volatility, and blunt new strategy language push Europe toward self-reliance.

Saturday, March 15, 2025, may have seemed unremarkable to most Americans. But in time, history will remember it as #BlackSaturday—the moment the United States ceased to function as a #ConstitutionalDemocracy

For the 1st time in modern American history, a sitting president openly defied a direct fed #CourtOrder—& nothing happened. No intervention. No enforcement. No consequences. A legal ruling was issued, & the #WhiteHouse simply ignored it

Black Saturday: The Day the United States Ceased to Be a Constitutional Democracy

Black Saturday, March 15, 2025, will be remembered as the day the U.S. ceased to function as a constitutional democracy. A sitting president defied a federal court order, proving that judicial authority no longer constrains executive power. This is not a warning—it is confirmation that democracy has already collapsed.

#MarkCuban: "People think he's this great businessman. If the job of the presidency was investing in real estate, picking curtains and fixtures, he'd probably be the most qualified. But it's not.

He's not a business person. He's failed early and often."

#KasieHunt: Over the summer you said, “There’s no #vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that?

#RFKjr: “I never said that.”

KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.”

RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.”

In 1st term, #Trump regulrly displayd #authoritarian impulses, expressing, behind closd doors, desire 4 violent retribution, reportdly discussng execution of criminals thru firing squads & gallows. fantasies→part of broader vision of control, shaped by infamous call 2 end “American carnage.” As per rprt by #RollingStone, scenarios didn’t come 2 fruition due 2 checks by advisers, but w/ 2024election coming, threat of unchecked Trump looms large

VANCE: What the American people don't want to talk about is weird juries in NYC.

STEPHANOPOULOS: So juries are not legitimate when they find someone liable for sexual defamation and assault?

VANCE: Absolutely.

President Biden: I keep seeing all of those stories about I'm too old. Let me say something. I wasn't too old to create over 15 million new #jobs. To make sure 21 million Americans are insured under the #AffordableCareAct, to beat #BigPharma..
