One Word:

KRASNOV

It's Utterly Appalling,
Sixtus

I hadn't heard about the Krasnov thing. Media on the east side of the pond have either missed it, ignored it or were unable to verify it.

No shit, that and the golden showers rumors, and wanting desperately to be the one US developer to have full access, and really, remember WWII and the axis of evil: Germany, Japan and Italy….well we’re gonna turn into the bad guys now and become that with our good good pals Russia and China….
Only thing that makes “sense” for lack of better term.
What could possibly go wrong with such trustworthy bedfellows?

I've never heard of this either. I have just assumed that Trump recognises in Putin a man with similar traits as himself. Mainly centred on a willingness to misuse power as a means of securing power for themselves and the warped visions they have.

As a result of the recent actions and statements by the orange turd and his lackey, the obnoxious vice-turd, anti-American sentiment is increasing rapidly across Europe. Meanwhile, European political leaders are beginning to realise that America is no longer trustworthy and is no longer an ally and friend. The delusional British prime minister claims that the UK still has a special relationship with the US but the orange turd only seems to consider Israel and Russia as his allies and the rest of the world will have accept that the world order has made a dramatic shift.

I would agree that most of Europe now sees the U.S. as not trustworthy; indeed everyone I know now views America as an enemy but I don't agree with the criticism of Sir Keir Starmer who I feel has, in the words of James Cleverly "Not put a foot wrong." What he says in public, and if you watch when Trump makes yet another ill-informed decision Starmer,unlike his European counterparts makes no comment, and what he says in private are two completely different things!
Out of all the European leaders he is the only one who is playing Trump, just like Putin does.
Look at his response to Vance and his disgraceful "random" comments. Naming in The House British soldiers who died 13 years ago while serving their country and at the same time assisting their then ally the United States in Afghanistan, something which never normally occurs.
The handing over of the invitation from Charles was a piece of pure theatre and Trump loved it. And when Trump referred to Zelensky as "dictator", not for Starmer a quick and easy response on X but an invitation, a hug and a meeting with The King!
Brilliant!

It is hard to know what is going on behind the scenes, but there is so little trust left that national intelligence agencies must be worried about continuing to share intelligence with America, knowing that it might then be passed on to that nasty Mr. Pootin.

The only thing I know at the moment is I'm glad it's not me having to deal with this monster!

My best guess Melania is a Russian agent.

I wasn't really expecting much, but I was also really impressed by the way Starmer handled Trump. The difference in the I.Q. of the two men was palpable.
And yes, what a terrible position to be in - to have to meet Trump and secure his support.

I also thought Starmer handled the orange one well. I was referring to his address to parliament when he said that everything was still fine and the so-called special relationship remained intact. How can anyone be sure when dealing with someone as unpredictable as the orange one who says one thing one day and the complete opposite the next day.

Shittiest "president" ever

How anyone with an IQ greater than 5 could have voted for him is simply beyond understanding

On the sandwich board:
Trump sandwich
White bread
full of baloney
with Russian dressing
& a small pickle

You go Canada! 50.1% of us are still with you.

It seems a bit pathetic to still keep going on about how Britain and the USA have a "special relationship."

....but that would take a long time and I'm freaking spent.

Only 73% of the populace voted. 27% stayed home.
I could be a little bit off in my numbers. It was considered to be a high turnout election. I'm just trying to convince myself that we aren't this stupid.

....he won by 1.5%. Hardly a landslide. But the fact he won all seven swing states makes me want to break out the dreaded tin foil.
Look up musk child night of the election on whatever format you have at your disposal.

We aren't this stupid.

But enough voters were.

God damn DT. And his supporters.

DITTO!

...6 weeks in
and the cabinet fractures
are already beginning to appear

by mid-summer
falling apart
at the seams
into a total shit show

patience

no need
to do anything crazy
as they'll do
it all on their own

patience

....need to take care of my family first.
Push comes to shove, we own firearms and know how to use them.
Pun intended.

(duped)

Phil, Why are the American people so stupid?

Jer, How would Phil know?

Phil for President!!!

A bright, shining lie

How does it feel now that America has chosen to join the axis of evil?

horrible
sickening
disgusting
nauseating
terrible

...like I need a constant shower.

Never in a million years was this on any radar of mine.
Guess I shoulda paid more attention to Project 2025 when it was being denied/lied about/swept under the rug.

The entire hand was hinted at all along, 100% of those zealots got duped.
Nauseating is accurate indeed.

Twice now tourists has been jailed and held for weeks without due process. 1st one was a German who went from her vacation in Mexico to visit LA with a US friend and was flagged as an "illegal alien" and handcuffed for claiming wrong visa as she was confused during her questioning about whether she was "working" during her stay. She was trading out her tattoo skills for clothing fashions the US woman makes and this has been a trade out they have done before. Jailed for weeks and still won't let her leave. Her mother in Germany even bought her a ticket home (which is the usual, you are told to leave and you do) which the jailers told her "is not allowed", you must get authorization before you buy the ticket. Now the second one was a UK tourist visiting the US and doing unpaid housework for her hosts for her lodging and tried to go to Canada for a similar gig and she has been handcuffed, jailed, no reason given, no due process, and no idea when they will let her go. Again, dubbed an "illegal alien" and detained in a facility she described as an ice box. Just gets weirder by the day!
Looking to a better day
Edit: Now reading Canadian visitors to the US for stays longer than 30 days will have to register with Immigration Services, pay a fee, get fingerprinted, and go through a background check. Proves my post title!

.....Welcome To Las Vegas!!
Don't blame you if you don't wanna visit.

Also read a scary article about "Real Water" bottled alkalized water that has killed people and caused extensive liver damage in many. From a company in NV run by one of your former legislators. Apparently the process they ran their tap water through caused a chemical called hydrazine ( a component of rocket fuel) to be formed. Good thing the FDA is protecting us from such things. (not - took a couple years to recall it)
Cheers (and don't drink the water)

Edit: Breaking; Donald says the stock market dive, "doesn't concern him". Yeah, dude doesn't own stocks! And the White House looks like a Tesla dealership. Have to support his mini-me, poor guy's company has lost 39% of it value. Trump says he bought a Tesla to support the Doge-bag. BS! Guy never even pays for lunch, no way he paid for a car!

.....we fill five gallon jugs.
Never heard of that Real Water story.
Hawking Teslas in front of the White House. I guess he had to top when he hawked Goya products in the Oval Office.

... if it wasn't so F'ing Pathetic and corrupt 😒

We are in a new age of WTFness

Welcome!

To the Country of DUMB!

Just plain fucking stupid.
That's what is being cultivated.
This is the most idiotic thing I have ever seen.

Way to knock out the knees of one of the only things that made America Great - our vast and accessible public education system that has been in place to inform Americans about the real world and reality.
Obviously this is not on any priority list of anyone in power.

This is the biggest WTF SHIT EVER.

Be Well People

At Least Try

1984, George Orwell

just an alliteration that popped into my mind today. Not meant to be taken literally.

Here in Seattle someone torched some Tesla Cybertrucks the other day.

I refer to Teslas as fascistmobiles

there are A LOT of those things here in the Emerald City and environs

A friend of mine works in real estate here in NYC back when they were renovating the plaza hotel early 80's his friend was one of the architects they were having lunch at the plaza when clump came and sat with them, he ordered a meal ate the meal finished his convo got up and left them with the check. I worked for infinity radio at WXRK for years I have stories that would make you puke about this POS!

....i need to hear any more bad things about him. Been trying to think about one good thing for a long while now.

There is that of God in everyone.

dont waste your time. You will never find one. Keep the faith.

He is seriously old so he will be dead fairly soon.

Hopefully a long, slow, disfiguring death.

Ummm ... Hard No, thanks. JDV is explicitly for a "Post-Constitutional Order".

A better scenario (provided actual free and fair elections are permitted - TBH, a substantial if, IMO) is to have the current malfeasance and voter discontent lead to massive GOP losses in the house and sufficient constituent pressure, if not equal-sized losses, in the Senate in 2026 >> such that both of these buffoons can be legitimately impeached, convicted, and removed from any further "leadership".

Just sayin' ...
Edit: for Dennis > THEN, cue the slow disfiguring death.

If, as I believe, the spirit lives on after the body dies, we won't necessarily be free of him when his old body conks out. His spirit will merely move on to another. The only way out is to work at transforming this errant spirit. In him them you us etc.

We, at least most here, are feeling pretty damn 'salty' about the unfolding situation/bleepstorm - So the true high(est) road can be a bit hard to see at points.

.

Indeed after death your spirit is reincarnated, however, what body it is reincarnated in is down to karma. If your karma was bad you will come back as a cockroach, a shitfly or worse.

.....spineless.
This is why I'm still on the fence re this box.
Uncertainty. Every damn day.
That is their goal. To overload us.
Firm believer. They even SAID SO!

Looked in a bottle and what did I see?

and a whole lot of people cheering the news of newly unemployed people, environmental damage, and shi'thead fascists running things.
