There is something on the web that he is a registered republican? Can you register with both parties?

Maybe it's part of Trump's deal-bargaining with China over tariffs, crazy as usual.

So... MAGA are telling their followers to ignore science and are shutting down scientific research, ignore religious leaders who disagree with them, are disbanding the education system, are attacking judges and are flouting court rulings, and are floating the idea of an unconstitutional third term.

Is anyone in any doubt of the endgame here?

Wonder if Vance will kill this one or just berate him for not wearing a suit.

Cameron Hamilton, appointed as head of FEMA by Trump on Wednesday, was fired on Thursday [today] and escorted out of the FEMA building after he testified in congress against closing the agency. Now that's fast and brave of him to certify his position there. some-one on the committee must have Trump's hotline number.

REPORTER: But we're seeing as a result that ports here in the US, the traffic has really slowed and now thousands of dockworkers are truck drivers are worried about their jobs

TRUMP: That means we lose less money ... when you say it slowed down, that's a good thing, not a bad thing

It's easy to see how he went bankrupt six times. A 12 year old has a better grasp of basic economics.

One thing I've noticed recently is that Dublin Airport seems to have pulled their "proud believer in DEI". Any time I heard it it seemed a bit jarring and pointed as DEI is not really a phrase used in Irish corporate language.

Given the airports reliance on the US government for pre clearance, I did think that was rather "brave" of them in the Sir Humphrey sense of the word. I wonder if anything was said.

The new pope? I mean, he has lived in Peru for a long stint.

Unless it's deliberate, part of the asset stripping of a country after pushing it towards rock bottom.

Has Trump done anything, anything at all, against Russia that's worse than the 10% tariffs on every other country (apart from Naughty Korea and Iran) ?
