Nice to know that billionaires are looking after their own. Have the got a club called Billionaires In Trouble (BIN). Those in BIN fight for the rights of billionaires because they cannot afford to do it themselves. Probably a tax-deductible Club.You too can donate to unfortunates in BIN.
GIVE NOW.

This has normalised shootings, and that is not abnormal in the USA.
After the Dunblane mass killings of children, and later the Cumbria that was it for hand guns, you can still get rifles but under strict conditions. There are some with shotguns, but found with a gun, it is a go straight to jail.

The history of Italian warships in the 2nd WW was they looked good but were useless. They tried to keep them out of the way as a fleet in being, but were caught out in harbour, see the Battle of Taranto.

Never for the people who participated in it. One mother said I sent my boy to fight, and he came back a murderer.

From SA to Russia in the winter. You must be insanely desperate to do that. Chances of living nearly nil. Jobs and study my arse.
This is also desperate from Russia, the great and fearsome Red Army now that short.

Could it be that the arms industry really calls the tune in the USA. It creates jobs, they say. How many of your retired military go into the arms industry? When they retire for those jobs recruit other senior army/navy/air as industry advisors if they play ball with them while on active service.

I often wonder if there should be "none of the above" to put a cross against it. It could work in the USA where you pick one president, not so in UK as the party picks the leader and can be changed. Mind you under UK rules, Trump would never have made it to the ballot box with his criminal record
December 1, 2025 at 6:52 PM
Even I in the UK know Hegseth is the first sacrifice. Remember, since the 2nd WW, the excuse I was following orders does not work. YOU are responsible for your actions and conduct. Some top brass must be sweating on this.
Early retirement and a job as advisor to an arms company are receding.

But they, your government, can still afford a multi-million dollar revamp of the White House, and those who donated to it get it as tax relief.
December 1, 2025 at 6:21 PM
Trump's hole card is that if he is deposed, then he has a weak, snivelling VP to take his place who, like Ford did for Nixon, and give him a full pardon. Mind you, it has taken some of the heat off releasing Epstein's files. Throw Hegseth under the bus as a sacrifice, so people can boo him.

I wish they would stop using the word soccer for real football. The US started to use the football name for their game, throw and run (TAR) ball, more acceptable to the world. They have turned their game more into combat rather than skill. The rest of the world does not want TAR ball
December 1, 2025 at 5:34 PM
Did not one of your great presidents say, "The Buck Stops Here".
December 1, 2025 at 1:39 PM
Is that the new Department of it was not Hegseth fault.
December 1, 2025 at 1:34 PM
If true, and can be proven, then a war crime, all levels of those who carried it out are guilty in some ways. It is now an establish fact after the 2nd WW that "I was following orders" is not an excuse. Hegseth is at the top of this tree.

It is odd, the spectre of My Lai still hangs over the army, where soldiers said they were following orders. The US solders after faced the horror each day of what they did, including
long-term psychological trauma, social ostracization.

Kelly is an exemplar with his record, the
antithesis of Trump.
December 1, 2025 at 11:23 AM
Doubt it, news outlets need a comic fool if he is on. People watch because they wonder what mad thing he is going to say next. It fills airtime. Reform watchers are the most gullible section for ads. Let's face it, if they believe him, they will believe anything in their ads.

How much is a pardon now in the USA? WECGuPW is the new department in the White House.
We Can Get You Pardons Wholesale.
December 1, 2025 at 10:55 AM
He can argue he did not know, people will believe him because they reason why would you bring a doofus like that on any plan. He is a popinjay. His stupidity is his defence.
December 1, 2025 at 10:38 AM
I point out the fact that if a president is impeached, then the next person is a weak VP, that is why they picked him if it went wrong. He will have the power to do this for all Trumps conspirators.
December 1, 2025 at 12:38 AM
There was, for Nixon, as for Trump, he does not care about the others.
December 1, 2025 at 12:34 AM
I simply point out from the UK if Trump goes and the weak mailable VP takes over, it will be Nixon and Ford all over again. Pardons all around.
December 1, 2025 at 12:26 AM
We were just carrying out orders, now where in history have I heard that before.
December 1, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Beat me to that.
Nixon would be proud of the department of dirty tricks working in Washington now.
I doubt that he will not give a cheery wave from a helicopter as he goes.
The weak spineless VP was picked because if Trump goes then he can pardon him just as Ford did with Nixon.

US considers itself as the leader of the FREE world, they have lost that mandate now. The UN should consider removing itself out of the USA. Maybe move to Canada or Australia. Is there a place in the world that can be designated UN land, like an island.
