    He needs more than one tame fed though, he needs a whole committee of them.

    They'll undoubtedly blame DEI and Biden for not making it "manly enough" in the first place.

    And the cult will swallow it while maintaining devoted eye contact.

    PS - What is their obsession with manliness? Is it closeted homosexuality? Feelings of inadequacy? Fear of things changing? Feelings of loss of power as society moves away from a patriarchal religious orthodoxy? The really are a weak-minded scared-little-girl crowd behind it all.

    The diapers have dispersed any thoughts gay people had about Trump and you can't blame them, his DEI wipeout policies has nailed that coffin.

    Unless you believe that the military should be deployed to move the homeless out of cities, then it made zero sense to begin with.

    Ordinarily I would disagree with Newsom mimicking Trump's tweeting style, but Trump and his administration are the biggest bunch of absolute sh*theads, so any way to mock them and get under their skin is welcome in my book. I see they are now referring to Karoline Leavitt as KaroLYING Leavitt. I hope they are enjoying the taste of their own medicine.

    It's kind of interesting that apparently the Russian Foreign Ministry has mentioned the idea of talks on nuclear weapons being included in the talk between Trump and Putin tomorrow. If it's true, it's plain it's an attempt to distract him from the serious effect extra tariffs threat he made will have on Russia showing what the present tariffs are doing there, and maybe a "Nobel medal" lure for him.

    If Trump backs down from the serious side he's been showing over the past few days and doesn't walk away from Putin in the event Putin doesn't agree to a ceasefire almost immediately without the need for extra talk sessions, Trump will have shown that he's all bluster and not seriously acting for the good of the U.S., let alone the other countries the U.S has good defence and trade pacts with.

    If he walks back from his "serious" side as the GOP president, the GOP should see it as yet another sign that he is not really a member of the GOP interested in it's future, but just using it as a vehicle to improve his business connections.

    Are people making money from the stock market , surely everyone on this form is shorting it now and waiting for the big money to come in because it sounds everyone on here knows what will happen and its going to be bad.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 690 ✭✭✭michael-henry-mcivor


    Is Trump sending America troops to the carribbean to fight-

    I heard it was to oppose drug dealers and just not about bombing more brown people-



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,732 ✭✭✭rolling boh


    Certainly not expecting anything positive for Ukraine from the meeting even if I can't really get away from the idea that some deal will have to happen because I just can't see Ukraine winning out on the battle field.

    Nah, I still disagree with it. It's muddying the water and absolutely gives MAGA'ts the ability play the "Both sides" card with respect to poor communication.

    You know Mark Twain's saying about never arguing with an idiot, he'll drag you in to the dirt and beat you with experience. That's kinda how I see this. Let Trump and his idiotic style of communication stand alone.

    Trump: "Last week they found $29 billion and they couldn't figure out where it came from. I said, check the tariff shelf. And they said, 'How did you know that?'"

    I thought this was B/S when I saw it on F/B but it seems to be true. A group of heavily armed uniformed masked Border Agents, approx 12, showed up at Governor Newsom's press event. Their spokes-person told those present that they were in Los Angeles to make it a safer place. Some-one somewhere at some point must have thought it was a good idea. https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=0b6cb0f30678cde7b25c8e0addb8f1cfe339c4b1797833db927f8e78a9affb2fJmltdHM9MTc1NTEyOTYwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=04f55f2f-e40c-6108-1379-4b9fe541609e&u=a1L3ZpZGVvcy9yaXZlcnZpZXcvcmVsYXRlZHZpZGVvP3E9R292ZXJub3IrTmV3c29tK1ByZXNzK09mZmljZStyZWxlYXNlK29mK0JvcmRlcitQYXRyb2wrYWdlbnRzK3Nob3dpbmcrdXArYXQraGlzK3ByZXNzK2V2ZW50Jm1pZD02M0QyODdCQUQ5QUJFNUIyRDg3QjYzRDI4N0JBRDlBQkU1QjJEODdCJkZPUk09VklSRQ&ntb=1

    The way he tries to portray himself as a genius of sorts, when it just reinforces him being a pedigree cabbage.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,710 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    The fact it's Newsom will kill him too because Trump is so utter insecure and emasculated looking when faced with politicians who are seen as charismatic and handsome. Newsom isn't quite Obama or Trudeau but he does seem to be a bit of a "housewives choice".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,710 ✭✭✭✭breezy1985


    It's clearly satire and the only people who pretend they think otherwise are doing it because they have an agenda.

    Both siding it will only work on the people who are already deep in with Trump.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,215 ✭✭✭✭Timberrrrrrrr


    Can't Wait to read the excuses the Trump supporters will come up with for this



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭RickBlaine


    I honestly don't see how there won't be a massive civil disturbance somewhere in America before Trump leaves office.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,208 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio


    Shouldn't Border Patrol be.. uh... Patrolling the border?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,580 ✭✭✭✭everlast75


    He was asked about that this evening.

    Reporter: “What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?

    Gov Newsom: “I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you’ve got issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns about what he’s putting out as president.”

    That's actually beyond words. Only Manic Moran will be able to justify that bullshit

    … right?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,151 ✭✭✭Widdensushi


    They are in serious trouble over there,,free speech a thing of the past.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,074 ✭✭✭thomil


    I think that's what Trump's team is counting on. Something big enough to allow them to take off any remaining restrictions and go after anyone they don't like, whilst also riling up Trump's more militant supporters to enact some vigilante justice of their own.

    Wouldn't even be surprised if some of the more capable and less scrupulous of his backers were planning to help this along with some false flags, probably before the 2026 midterms to allow Trump to gut the Federal Election Commission and have goons outside of polling stations across the country. I do not expect any fair elections over there anytime soon!

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    It happens every day, I remember when Warren G Harding was holding a press conference before the 1920 republican presidential primaries and Woodrow Wilson sent a bunch of masked up border patrol officers in full military combat gear with M4 carbines to stand menacingly outside the building

    Are you the oldest person in the world right now?

    Remembering that means you have to be at least 112.
