When I heard 'president to face full might of American justice' I actually thought....

I am no fan of Maduro. I believe in democracy, and Maduro is no democrat.Trump too is no democrat, he wants oil, increased wealth for family and followers, and is getting a free hand to achieve his goal. Looking from outside, the US is in a bad place, and if the US sneezes, the world catches a cold.

Happy New Year friends. Blwyddyn Newydd Dda cyfeillion. From Stanley and me.

Looked up Trumpery in my 1864 Websters.

Don and the Trumpettes are now lying so brazenly that the smoke from their pants bonfire can be seen quite clearly from this side of the Atlantic.

Our wild cherry tree in the garden grew from a cherry stone. It's the most blossom that we've had, and the scent is lovely.

In language unbecoming of a person in his position, the Don says countries were lining up to 'kiss his ass'. Tariffs are one thing, but surely no country should be subjected to the sight of or put their lips to the ass that adorns the golden toilet, even if he has piles of gold.

I don't understand American politics very well, but I had always thought that your written constitution was meant to be a safeguard against the rise of a dictator/emperor/king, etc. Has the current incumbent found a way around this, and is there a danger of him becoming a tyrant?

When a fox gets in the chicken shed, he kills indiscriminately . There's wanton carnage, screeching, blood, and feathers everywhere. No more hens, so no more eggs, so no more chickens. I'm told that the fox kills for the joy of it and just gets fatter. America, you got yourselves a fox.

So will the Chinese made maga hats be more expensive now?

Does Trump think that placing tariffs on uninhabited islands and plucking debatable figures out of thin air shows that he and his cronies know what they're talking about? Just regurgitating garbage doesn't make it palatable.

I saw a report by the US Chamber of Commerce (which I assume was correct) that the total volume of trade between the US and Russia in 2024 was approximately $3.5 billion, that's despite sanctions. Why no tariff on Russia and 10% Ukraine?

Stanley is having his first overnight stay at kennels tonight and is putting a brave face on. House seems extremely empty.

When Trump's prolonged temper tantrum at the rest of humanity ends, will anyone be able to explain why he and his cronies hate the rest of us so much? I admire lots about the US, but I find inflicting this cast of idiots on the rest of us completely baffling.
