Have a look at how the disgusting President responded to the Minnesota shootings and the murder of the Democratic speaker of the House.

The worse the US situation becomes the more the MAGAs enjoy it and the nastier they become. I reckon these horrible people have always been there and Trump has unleashed them.

Donald Trump Jnr hasn't ruled out running for POTUS one day. Well, if his father the convicted melon can be voted in twice I am sure Junior's chances are pretty good.

JD fcuking Vance in his own mind is now buddies with the Pope. The new Pope was gracious to meet with Vance and Rubio but the idea he has anything in common with these two hypocrites is ludicrous. I would imagine the Pope thought, ok, let's deal with these pushy Americans to get it out of the way.

Putin is evil. He thinks if he captures more of Ukraine, thst land will automatically be ceded to Russia in peace negotiations. He must be getting that message from Trump and Putin's stooge Witkoff. Europe should go all in to support Ukraine snd demand that Putin gets punished instead of rewarded.

Trump's grift and corruption is so extensive that it's laughable. The other thing to note is that he is including his billionaire sycophants on his road trip through the Persian Gulf states. Trump's family, Musk and others are doing their own deals at the same time. It's corruption on a grand scale.

I'm confused. If a student protests against Israel's bombing of Gaza they will be arrested and incarcerated and maybe deported. Would a student who protests against Russia's bombing of Ukraine be arrested? Would a Jewish student protesting against Israel's bombing of Gaza be arrested and jailed?

Two fighter jets have been lost on USS Harry S. Truman in the Persian Gulf (or is that the Gulf of America?). One fell off when the ship did a sharp turn to avoid Houthi fire. Each jet costs around $60M.

A betting agency should run a book on which Trump cabinet members will end up in prison. I'd think Pam Bondi would be odds on.

It's so funny and quite revealing when conservatives call liberals "do-gooders" as though doing good is a bad thing. So in effect they are admitting that they themselves do not want to do good which often is the reality. 😀

Trump's corruption in first 100 days. He and his family stand to make billions of dollars. The sackings of various government watchdogs will save the oligarchs, Bezos, Musk and Co., many billions of dollars.

How long is Trump's charade going to continue before his cult members start to desert him in numbers? Mike Waltz should be in jail over Signalgate. Pete Hegseth should definitely be in jail after leaking military attack plans to his family and personal lawyer. The US is embarrassing.

'Operational misunderstanding' led to killing of Gaza medics, IDF inquiry says.
What a joke. Was it also an operational misunderstanding when they tried to bury the evidence including the bodies of the medics.

It always amuses me when people use the tag 'Patriot'. The notion tha blindly loving your country is good. Well it's not and what's happening in the US is a reason it's a stupid tag. It's the same as being a patriot in Russia under Putin. Patriot's are the reason Russia is stuck under dictatorship.

I don't show my full name in Bluesky or Twitter-X for privacy reasons. No way am I doing it now with what's happening in the US. I'm not American but have a brother living there and travel to the US from time to time. I will not be going to the US while Trump is potus. Anyone else feel the same?

Anybody else think the Blue Origin space flight with glammed up semi-bimbos Katy Perry, Lauren Sanchez and Gayle King on board was an own goal PR stunt for Jeff Bezos? At a time when billionaire oligarchs are kowtowing to DT, Elon Musk is sacking thousands and Trump is tanking the economy.

Donald Trump is such a low class rude prick. The way he insults respected journalists in white house press conferences is something we have never really seen with previous presidents. And the sycophants quick to come to Trump's defense when he is floundering which is often. Trump has to go.

"These countries are calling us up. Kissing my ass.” Trump told a group of Republicans. He described foreign leaders groveling to avoid the new tariffs: “Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir.”
Vance referred to Chinese people as peasants.
America is crass and embarrassing.

Trump is a sad example of humanity but the sycophantic journalists travelling with him on Trump Force One are worse. Asking the convicted melon about his golf weekend, "What is your handicap". Journalism at its best. Maybe I am being harsh when they are probably given a set menu of questions to ask.
