If they are so morally bankrupt as to be bothered by protests about Trump than the multiple deranged acts* of Trump they are a lost cause.

* rape, tariffs, racism, Iran war, corruption to name merely a few

Sounds even more child like and simple than usual. Iran is defeated yet he needs a secret mission to 6 tankers through per day yet I don’t know how you can keep an oil tanker a secret to begin with. Brain dead.

You mean like those half dozen narcissist Albanians complaining about the invasion of an island in Albania? They definitely have TDS, they should just shut up and look forward to an amazing millionaire holiday resort (with flamingos, for a little while anyway).

Edit - in case anyone missed the /s, it was multiple thousands of Albanians, risking getting arrested, to object to the corrupt access the Trump family have been given, by a corrupt leader, to a nature reserve.

And there is just the little matter of the 20 million a day before he started his 'look over here' war

Existing While African would appear to be the referees "crime".

Absolute weapons-grade bullsh1t from the yanks.

So inflation under Biden - bad, inflation under Trump - good. How can the US media even report this horsesh*t with a straight face?

For Forks Sake · 10-06-2026 08:11PM

Are the barrels of oil in the room with us now?

I hope the dems make his life as difficult as possible when they retake the house (and hopefully senate) after the mid-terms

He loves inflation now 🤣🤣

It should be pointed out that the person in charge of making all these decisions about visas for World Cup attendees is one Andrew Giuliani (yes , that Giuliani), who has been failing upwards all his life.

Which is his one and only qualification , although "qualification" seems inappropriate.

Grave threat to democracy.

Trump EO means that states may lose access to postal voting if they dont hand over their voter lists to the US government. 23 states are suing.

The Trump administration cleared an initial legal hurdle last month, when a federal judge in Washington, DC, who is overseeing one set of the cases, declined to block Trump’s executive order, allowing the Postal Service to begin implementing it.
The Democratic Party groups are asking an appeals court to speed up its review of that decision, warning that voters around the country could be disenfranchised in this year’s midterm elections if the proposal is not blocked.
In an interview with CNN, Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows, a Democrat whose state is part of the coalition that filed a legal challenge in Boston, said that if courts rule for the Trump administration, “Then you will see a virtual elimination of mail-in voting, unless the states supply voter lists to the federal government.”....Under the proposed regulations, the Postal Service will need to design and launch a portal through which states could submit a list of their mail voters, along with unique bar codes for each individual.

Sweet Jesus...moronic "data" on the channel for morons

How can standards be so low in a significant cohort of the audience that this doesn't trigger ridicule and declining ratings ... then I recall what some of that audience are like from the various vox pops you hear from the various assorted heroes that want to attend some of Trump's rallies and it makes perfect sense you could serve up this utter horseshit and have them greedily gobble it down...

I'm not so sure....they are both cretins but different kinds of cretin

To me farage is an annoying boil on your arse that has potential to evolve into a much worse problem....but ultimately he's just a boil on one's arse atm

Musk is more like a serious illness diagnosis and serious psychological problems all rolled into one

I mean they are both pricks and potentially damaging but Musk has much greater scale and reach.....he could have Farage abducted, stuffed and mounted on the mantle piece of a luxury suite in take your pick of (super yacht, mansion on private island, private jet, his own orbiting habitat etc etc) with proceeds (power derived from) businesses subsidised by the US taxpayer....a country he has had no small part in dividing and diminishing......he's a symptom of the inequality that's ripping the US apart...an inequality he would perpetuate and widen if he had is way.....we would all be slaves if Musk had his way....with Farage it's smaller scale destruction…as befits a fundamentally small man.

"The Trump administration has claimed referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied admission to the U.S. due to “association with suspected members of terror organisations.”

The referee was one of 52 match officials chosen by FIFA for the World Cup. He reported to Miami last weekend with his peers in Florida ahead of the tournament."

A bit strong, calling FIFA the terror organisation!?

Well, they did give a peace prize to a rapist recently.

RickBlaine · 10-06-2026 10:57PM

Trump, for all his faults, usually had a knack for saying exactly what his supporters wanted to hear, even if it is total BS. To make such a self-defeating statement as "I love inflation" is just another example of him loosing the plot completely. Literally the exact opposite of what his voters want to hear.

The US should be denied any opportunity to host the World Cup for at least another 50 years. They've shown clearly that they're just a bunch of dicks, between jacking up prices to stupid levels and being complete arseholes to people travelling there, both participants and fans alike.

It's absolutely shameful.

If the US media had any balls or were even quick witted, the follow up question should have been "You said inflation under Biden was bad. But now you're saying that inflation on your watch is good. How is that?"

RickBlaine · 10-06-2026 11:08PM

If Biden had said "I love inflation", every interview with him or anyone in his administration would have been dominated by that for weeks regardless of what the interviewee actually wanted to discuss.

So... Firstly - I'm a liberal left leaning person - but I'm not sure about this basically, and part of it may need to be an evolution of my understanding, but 'a roof over your head' being a 'right'.. or something you are entitled to…

So I have busted my ass (alongside my wife) to put together a deposit, agree a mortgage with the bank, and to commit to paying that for 30 odd years...

But, if a house is my 'right', do I need to do all that, or can I sit on my hole and demand my 'right'?

At the end of the day, with the government buying up housing developments, am I and others like me just a sucker when others can game the system for their 'fundamental human rights' to a house in a similar housing development?

Who knows with his supporters that appear in the lower net worth category

If they are stupid enough to vote for him they could be stupid enough to think high levels of inflation are not a bad thing long term.....

They can't be the brightest, they seem to believe some pretty odd (demonstrably false) things about their lardass moronic orange twat in chief.

RoyalCelt · 11-06-2026 12:19AM

All kicked off again. Trump has ordered the strikes. Lots of rumours emerging from both sides but too soon to know what's been hit for sure.

I'm wondering if more bed and board for workers type arrangements, as some Silicon Valley companies provide in the US, might be part of the answer. I think we have, or used to have, that for non EU work permits.

this is surely going beyond retaliation for the downed helicopter. Has anyone in the administration explicitly said they’re returning to full scale war?

I guess it can be paused at any point so we'll see what the Americans do. I don't have faith in the Israelis leaving Hezbollah alone and I can't see Iran not targeting Israel unless they lose the capability.

Ozymandius2011 · 11-06-2026 03:19AM

The Gordie Howe bridge between the US and Canada is finally expected to open in a few days. Follows a silly impasse over this as Trump blocked it. The US side is in Michigan.

The century old Ambassador bridge is a competitor and its owner was a donor to the Trump campaign.

everlast75 · 11-06-2026 05:51AM

President Trump had 22 medical specialists assess him as part of his latest checkup, according to a medical report recently released by the White House, who also declined to identify which physicians assessed him.

I can't figure out which is worse.,… not naming the doctors, or back when we knew who the doctor was and it was this guy
