    R2D2 and C3PO are going to be doing all the heavy lifting apparently.

    Trump doesn't give a flying **** about American workers or their jobs.

    Lisa Murkowski had plenty of opportunities to do something about 45 and didn't.

    Talking about retaliation like it's something new in his playbook.

    She can go and....

    The idiot speaks again. Now with the Italian PM.

    "Jimmy Carter died a happy man ….. because he died knowing he wasn't the worst president. Biden was."

    FFS. He just keeps getting more idiotic, childish and insulting.

    Where does he get all that hate from?

    Not working then so, comes across as a bit tragic if I'm honest.

    "Where does he get all that hate from?"

    If the rumours are to be believed, perhaps it's from having a small penis

    Unfortunately we can try and head in the other direction to MAGA but I don't think America is just going to leave us (or our politics and our societies) alone.☹️

    The scum around Trump seem obsessed with "Europe" and the EU, how we are going the wrong way and Putin (and various pro Russia nut jobs in each country, who mostly brown nose Trump and MAGA as well) will set us on the right path!

    They are coming more into the open now with opposing Ukraine (and by extension, their supporters in Europe) too (vs just pulling back US involvement) and trying to engineer some sort of face saving success for Putin there + drag his roasting chestnuts out of the fire.

    At this stage, I wish they would stick to their original rhetoric (Ukraine is Europe's problem, the US won't help, we want nothing more to do with it) and just f-ck off rather than have this horrible US romancing of Russia.

    From knowing that he's inferior to everyone else. He's never earned or accomplished anything in his whole life. Everything has just been handed to him. On some level he knows this and he judges everyone else by his own low standards accordingly.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    Leviticus 19:34

    I dunno about that. I'd say he's a huge penis.

    America is a full blown zoo now, always was been but now the crazy animals who were typically locked away where spectators could not view them have been let loose and taken control of the place.

    Only difference is between a zoo and america is in a normal zoo when monkeys throw sh*t at each other passer by's are not hit. With america everyone gets covered.

    SCOTUS has penned in May 15 next for a hearing of arguments on Trump's plan to divest US citizens of their Birth-right Citizenship by way of Executive Order. The right is enshrined in the 14th Amendment.

    In a brief order on Thursday, the justices declined to lift a temporary pause, which three lower court judges ruled on, that prevents Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide.

    The Trump administration has asserted that children of noncitizens are not “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States, a phrase used in the amendment, and therefore are not entitled to citizenship. They are relying on their interpretation of the written wording - as it to mean "not subject to the jurisdiction of US law, including by the US courts" - because of their parentage, instead of the actual written wording contained in the amendment.

    If SCOTUS were to issue a definitive opinion in favour of the amendment wording, allowing it to stand unchanged by interpretation by Trump's EO, thus scrubbing Trump's EO, things might get exciting in the White House.

    Trump's representatives don't have any problem in appealing to the highest court in the land to knock out the lower courts rulings though.

    Absolutely. In fact China's recent aggressive confrontational diplomacy was very Trumpian. But I think the Chinese are realising that their 'wolf warrior' diplomacy was counterproductive at the same time that Trump's USA is embarking on it's own version. It seems the Chinese are learning something at the same time that the US is being inflicted with amnesia.

    For the Trump voters who have now contributed to his low approval ratings, f*ck them! They are disapproving of the exact things Trump said he'd do if elected. He said them time and time again. Some of them even got tickets to hear him saying them in person. Harris and other democrats warned about them time and time again. His own damn Republican VP didn't endorse him. But these voters were too deluded to apply any level of critical thinking to Trump's claims.

    If loads of people tell you to avoid a restaurant because of food poisoning, but you ignore them and eat there anyway and get sick, you can't then leave a review for the restaurant saying "I never expected to get food poisoning but I did"

    Absolute f*cking dopes!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,079 ✭✭✭Suckler


    Isn't it about this time 'someone' comes along and places the blame for Trump & Co's antics solely at the Democrats……

    You had right to tell mrs monk to forget about her fancy Dan, Yankee Doodle dandy sweet potatoes. Tell her Irish spuds is where it’s at from now on. An Irish grown golden wonder spud and a spoonog of Irish butter on it and a pinch of salt and a bit of pepper.
    Ye will never look at them orange fcuks of yeoks again.

    So the man that the government mistakenly sent to an El Salvador prison is alive and has met with Maryland senator Chris Van Hollen

    Huge respect to Van Hollen for doing this - hopefully this news can give hope to his family and be the first step in getting him back in the country.

    But of course the administration are already doubling down. Bondi released some “new” information on Garcia claiming he’s a criminal gang member, even though the words HAS NO CRIMINAL HISTORY were included in her information. Unsurprisingly, this part has already been edited out.

    These people are as close to evil as you can get. If they succeed with keeping García out then there’ll be hundreds if not thousands more who will end up with the same fate.

    This led me down the rabbit hole that he only has IVF babies because of a botched penis implant. And it reads as pretty likely based on this piece on it...

    There already are hundreds more who were on the same plane as him who are already being forgotten about.

    The media can only focus one one individual meanwhile hundreds of others are languishing in those same cells

    Sam Harris has really been hitting the nail on the head recently about the pop culture players who have gleefully helped spread disinformation that has in turn facilitated Trump's comeback.

    The various mega-podcasters who had Trump on the show like Joe Rogan, Lex Friedman and Theo Von - they all completely failed to hold Trump's feet to the fire on anything, even on highly contentious points. As Harris says, if you went on the Rogan podcast and started giving half-cocked opinions on MMA, littered with factual inaccuracies, Rogan would be on you like a rash, yet he would give Trump plenty of latitude to spread his nonsense even on points widely acknowledged to be shaky at best.

    There is no downside for your Joe Rogans and your Dave Smiths - if they get something right then they are bringing you the facts that the mainstream media won't. If they get something wrong, they'll say they're just some knuckle heads hangin' out, smokin' a J and talkin' some shít. This is what you would call the 'non-expert defence' that allows them to popularise as much disinformation as they want with few, if any, hard penalties.

    It also folds into the problem of the info-tainer. The info-tainer needs a steady supply of edgy takes to keep people engaged, and each one needs to be edgier than the last, giving us a race to the bottom, and there are plenty of bad actors ready to put out bad information that these edgy takes can be built off of.

    So now Trump is going to put a fee on Chinese owned or made ships landing at US ports. To be rolled out in 180 days, so likely just one of his scare, attempted strong arm tactics. Or maybe he thinks the US can build a fleet of cargo ships in 180 days 😁

    My kids are adults now, but I'd be willing to put money on it that when they were pre-teens they could come up with better plans and strategies than the complete morons in the WH now.
