Say what you will about Trump but he’s doing exactly what he promised middle-class midwestern voters he would do: erase the military contributions of long-dead actors because The Golden Girls made jokes about him in the mid-1980s
Iconic Golden Girls actress Bea Arthur, who served in the Marine Corps, has had her contribution scrubbed from Department of Defence website
Web page about iconic Golden Girls actress becomes latest victim of DEI purge
Bea Arthur, who served in the Marine Corps, has had her wartime contribution scrubbed from the Department of Defence (DOD) website. The URL now reads "DEIBefore".

Trump makes up or exaggerates so much of what he says that it’s just expected now. But this one…
It’s “transgenic” you idiot. It means “crossed genes”.

We very clearly put all our eggs into the basket of friendship with the US, and now we’re stranded on a continent with a roid-raging turncoat neighbour.
"Our nuclear deterrent is self-sufficient, French from start to finish. Ever since 64 it has helped keep Europe safe and peaceful. However, after Merz's historic call, I have decided to open up discussion on using it to protect our allies throughout Europe." — Macron. #StandWithUkraine #EuropeanArmy

Trump claimed the Biden administration spent $8 million "making mice transgender." The White House tried to back up this number with records of funding for research into cancer, asthma, and HIV, some of which used *transgenic* (genetically modified) mice.
Trump Decried Millions Spent 'Making Mice Transgender.' It Was Cancer and Asthma Research
President Trump falsely claimed that Biden spent $8 million on 'making mice transgender,' but the real research was for human health.

I desperately hope I’m wrong, but watching the VP and Speaker leer while the House chuckles at Trump’s statement that the US is “going to get it, one way or the other we’re going to get it” looks and sounds like prewar prep.
Denmark should formally request consultations with allies on the grave threats posed by the president of United States of America, to take Greenland.

As an avid hunter and gun-owner, I watch the gun lobby down south with absolute contempt. Guns aren’t toys FFS, and if you want them to protect your freedom and democracy, you just got called out.

It is not far fetched to think the incoming Administration would attempt to consolidate power. In fact, I’m pretty sure their “100 Executive Orders on Day 1” will likely set the stage for this.
