Shouldn’t we be trying to form an international coalition?
Vile thug in charge of a country? Check.
Poses a threat to international peace? Check.
Possesses WMD? Check.
Fire up the aircraft carrier, we need some regime change.
I feel that every time I see a tweet from that ginger-nut faced bellend, I think Adam Curtis is going to start narrating what I'm seeing.
It's all smokescreen anyway, tweet about this and get the whole country talking while he lifts the white house rug and tries to sweep the whole Jeff Epstein Peado Club underneath. I'm guessing from the safe they cracked open at his property there will be some pictures that old Trumpy along with others wont want the world seeing

Like the many institutions and deals the orange fart wants to reverse?
America is becoming a bigger threat to world peace than Russia or the Middle East.
The UK needs to stay in the EU now more than ever.

Sounds like America needs some "freedom".
Wait until after the next election and certain states begin talks to secede (doesn't matter who wins the losers will be sore). The resulting civil war will weaken them and they'll be ripe for an invasion. Too bad it will be Russia doing the invading though - they've got to help their friend - a humanitarian intervention.
Trumpet is doubling down.
The silence from republicans has been deafening, Johnson & hunt only bothering to criticize when pushed at the debate, but both too terrified to call it racism.
This kind of hate speech seems normalised now
TRUMP: "It doesn't concern me because many people agree with me."
And that's why he may still get re-elected.
That Trump quote just illustrates Trump America, Brexit, BoJo and the rest.
Being a **** is now no longer considered something to be ashamed of. In actual fact, being a **** is the best way to get what you want and **** the consequences. Dark times, and yet (as always) people just slumber their way through life assuming it is all going to be alright.
This kind of hate speech seems normalised now
The Overton window (not the cleaners) has been moved by Bannon & Trump very successfully. And it'll push open further still yet. For all the people dreading that, others will be excited by it, and vote for those that allow validation of their own hatred. It could get much nastier still. Plenty of us have been warning that this was happening for years now. But, don't go calling racists racist…
In funnier news...
We've not heard from the only trump fanboy left on here, chewy how do you feel about non white citizens being told to go back to their 'home' countries?
But, don’t go calling racists racist…
Don’t you mean people with legitimate concerns? 😀
I'm hoping this all finishes slightly ironically with Trump behind bars but not separated from his children.
The two options currently are that he's racist, or he's using racism to distract from the paedophile scandal he's embroiled in. Let's see who wants to defend either a racist or a suspected paedophile then?
Anyone else feeling pretty helpless?
Post about it on social media? Attend a demo? Stick with an opposition party that's a complete shambles?

I don't see any reason why it can't be both of these and more. Dumb, racist, paedophile, rapist. A true multitasker.

Well obvs I can't vote in the US election so in that sense I'm helpless. However, I'm 100pc optimistic.
Only a year or so to go before the election.
Are the democrats a shambles? They haven't selected their candidate yet so they can't really be united behind a specific candidate. I'm sure they will be. Two of the front runners are anglophiles.
The republicans have far bigger problems. They've got a leader most of them despise and who's farcical leadership will give opponents a stick to beat them with for years to come.
Whatever we think of Trump he didn't nuke China in his first three months and far from being an evil genius setting up a dynasty he's turned out to be 'inept'. So that's good
If he does perform well enough to win again his second term will take him to 80yo. He seems in very strong health right now, but there's a very strong chance health or death would curtail a second term. The 70-80 decade is one of dramatic decline IME.
Looks pretty good to me. Good chance Trump will be gone in a year, failing that a fair chance he won't complete a second term.

One silver lining ( if impeachment or keeling over from being 'in very good health overall' doesn't happen first) is his last day in office will be on my birthday. Big five-O too. I might break the habit of a lifetime and have a party

Don't be so harsh on yourself - you're in great shape for 93.

Trump is way ahead in the polls and the opposition are in complete dissarray.
Someone mentioned the Overton window, Trump is middle America and has not moved, it's the dems that are jumping head first into socialism.
He has done an splended job in putting their most radical fringe into the spotlight. They might be popular on Reddit but that's not gonna win elections.

He really is not and nor are the democrats in termil.

Err, What?!
Of anyone in American politics the only one who is anywhere significantly left of centre is Bernie Saunders. The Democrats are central and the Republicans very right wing. American politics has moved consistently to the right over the last half century.
Here's the NYTimes' take on it: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/26/opinion/sunday/republican-platform-far-right.html Basically the Republicans are nuttier than UKIP.
Trump is way ahead in the polls and the opposition are in complete dissarray.
No he's not and the Democrats haven't even chosen a candidate yet, by definition they'll be in disarray until that happens.
Can you give me an example of Boris racism that you don’t think hasn’t been widely reported in the media so we can google it and see how much coverage it got.
Denise Rowe. Monkey noises. Watermelons. Google it. Plenty out there, but main stream press? Nope.
How do we classify Boris’ comments about Obama… dismissing him as “part-Kenyan” with an “ancestral dislike of the British empire” …? Does he describe his own heritage and loyalties (or that of any white person) in similar terms? I think the current language is “racially charged”, or just “a duplicitous shitbag”…
It is worth pausing and reflecting on what is happening here. The President of the US is encouraging crowds at a rally to chant 'Send Her Back!'.
When Trump was first elected Jim Jefferies compared him to Hitler. When he was challenged on this (by Trump loving Piers Morgan), Jefferies pointed out that Hitler did't become that evil overnight saying he had to start somewhere.
Of all of the Trump lows in the past couple of years, that footage of crowds chanting is the most terrifying I have seen. It shows the potential of what might come.
From trumps (and supportes) point of view this is a great move. These 4 women had started causing the democrats problems and the view amongst the more established democrats was they were getting too big for their boots and needed put back in their box. A couple days onslaught by trump later and the democrats have been forced to back the 4 women to the hilt and they have now become the face of the party in the run up to an election. How many floating voters will now be put off voting for these 'commie' democrats compared to voting for trump cause he is racist? I'll bet a lot more.
Trump says he hasn't got a racist bone in his body.
Sadly Stormy Daniels has admitted to having had one.

I agree.
Properly frightening stuff has been happening under Trump in control, and this just takes is further down a fighting route.

That's probably true. Trump has energised racism as a means to get/keep power. Scary, or what?
Trumps approval rating among Republicans jumped up by five per cent points after his racist tweets: 😳
Anyone see the "report" on TV this morning about the racism issue? (I think it was Sky News, but I was flitting channels) - they interviewed some redneck who sat there and said "one of those women married their own brother!"
Either they kept it in the report to show who stupid and gullible Americans are, or nobody else would talk to them! Totally bizarre.
I can see some protests/riots approaching.
and they have now become the face of the party in the run up to an election
Right up until the point the Democrats appoint a candidate, and they disappear back into the US version of the backbenches, and the Democrat candidate gets to call Trump a racist bigot to his face on prime time telly all the way to election day.
It's a dumb short sighted nasty and dangerous re-election policy. No wonder the Republicans like it.
Nadia Murad: 6 of my family were killed by Isis
Wotsit in Cheif: And where are they now?
Nadia Murad: They're dead!!!
It's amazing how much he doesn't give a shit, until he hears she got a Nobel prize and wants to know how he can get one.
The prick could have at least turned round properly to speak to her rather than sit there pouting surrounded by coloured people probably in some attempt to show he's not a racist.
Empathy does not come naturally to the soapy old ****.

Of course it doesn’t, he couldn’t even spell it, let alone understand what the word means!
Well, this made me laugh, even a small victory is worth celebrating!

Here’s a clearer version to really enjoy just how much work went into it!
I see the real reason for escalating the tensions with Iran were revealed this morning.
Today's economic pronouncements from the orange buffoon:
- China is doing very badly; direct quote
- the Fed should make a very large interest rate cut as their inaction has placed him at a disadvantage; as paraphrased by BBC
Delusional.
Delusional is him trying to shortcut due process in the case of what appears to be an assault in Stockholm.
For someone that appears to have little regard for anyone that is not white, he seems fine to support A$AP Rocky and demand his release before he is tried for allegedly kicking the shit out of someone with the assistance of two of his entourage.

I suspect if it had happened somewhere other than Sweden he might not give a shit.
^That's a link to the 'last night in Sweden' story of 2017
For someone that appears to have little regard for anyone that is not white, he seems fine to support A$AP Rocky
And you don't see this as something to get behind that's just quite handy to make him look non-racist?
Another bit of delusional:
How he spent a lot of time at Ground Zero helping out.
thats the second lie he has told on that. He actually was in trump tower on the phone to jounalists but also claimed he was watching muslims cheer the attacks and now he was at ground zero helping out.
Delusional liar
I suspect if it had happened somewhere other than Sweden he might not give a shit.
As I understand it the reason for him commenting is that some friends of the rapper have his ear.

Makes sense. It's hard to keep track of all the batshitness.
Boris is going to have to up his 'promising all things to all people game'

I don't know what's greater about this picture, the haunted "I don't know what i'm doing" look on Melanias face, or the thumbs up "woo-hoo, his parents are dead" cheesy grin on the cheeto-in-chiefs face
But then, the "boasting about numbers" at the hospital may actually be a new low in the "can he go lower" competition - "there would have been more here but you know, some people are dead"
There's something fundamentally "wrong" with the man (and to a similar extent his puppet wife) if all they can do is grin along with give his usual thumbs up pose at the scene of such tragedy, not to forget the sheer amount of Americans who continue to prostrate their servility to support him throughout his presidency so far. Just how much worse can he possibly get before action is taken to remove him?.
He is getting more and more erratic
Having a narcissistic personality disorder he cannot cope with anyone telling him he is wrong in any way. He could surround himself with sycophants in business and has tried to do so in politics. The problem is he now has to hear opposition and he cannot control this and its driving him crazy - literally. I expect him to retreat into full on paranoia over a period of months.
It would help if all the other countries leaders continually provoked him rather than sucking up to him. Combined with a constant barrage on Twitter, in the media etc,. He would meltdown and start saying stuff he could no longer get away with.
He would meltdown and start saying stuff he could no longer get away with.
Where is the bar for what he can no longer get away with? He said you can grab women by the pussy and got away with that. He is routinely racist, sexist, paranoid and stupid. He gets away with that. What does he actually have to do to no longer get away with it?
Aye it would be fun Kerley.

He’s quite outspoken about helmets too 😉
he’s certifiable!We should name them after monsters…. Hurricane Kong, Hurricane Godzilla
The funny thing is, that myth has been doing the rounds for 50+ years. NOAA has a page on their site:
https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/C5c.html
as to why it wouldn't work and (thanks to a cool physics teacher who occasionally went "off topic" in class), I learned about the idea behind it in a GCSE level physics class in about 1993!
Wonder if he thought of it all by himself or if not, how did he find it - I can't believe he reads NOAA's website in much detail so I'm genuinely wondering who fed the idea to him...
So Deutsche bank have loans to trump cosigned by Russians of questionable loyalties
Not a good look for trumpy
Who can tell, it’s a hurricane, even the experts....
Boltons gone!
Is this the longest time Trump has gone without a sacking / resignation?
Or are they just as frequent but no longer newsworthy?
Or is there just nobody left?
seems it's a crap day to be a lying demagogue
Peach anyone?
Impeachment proceedings started by Pelosi.
Would Nancy Pelosi like to borrow my lucky massive spider-shaped broach?
I'm guessing sharks with frickin laser beams was too much to hope for
The aides told the Times Trump suggested to advisors during the Oval Office meeting that they should shoot migrants in the legs to slow them down.
The suggestion came after Trump had publicly suggested shooting migrants if they threw rocks, the Times reports. Trump had made the suggestion about shooting migrants that threw rocks during a speech in November.
Officials who spoke to the Times also recall Trump often suggesting fortifying a border wall with a water-filled trench, stocked with snakes or alligators.
Trump also "wanted the wall electrified, with spikes on top that could pierce human flesh," the Times reports.
When advisors told Trump some of his suggestions were not allowed, he reportedly became frustrated.
Just been reading that NY Times piece. It paints a picture of the Trump administration almost exactly as you always feared it might be:

May be wishful thinking but a Republican senator has criticised Trump for his comments about the whistleblower, first signs of dissent in the GOP???
Nah, there’s plenty of folk in the GOP that don’t like him, they just like being in power more.
Interesting thou Rudy J and the Ukrainians and the US State department.
All depends on how much traction this gains, if more stuff comes spewing out I think Trump's
going to be in a world of pain and Fox is starting to distance themselves from him as this is really bad.
Quite a lot of lashing out, angry words, and accusations from the orange one over the last 24hrs, he's clearly very rattled.
I feel sorry for the Finnish PM. He had to put up with a lot of ranting when they were doing a joint conference. It's a good job that they are, as a nation, so polite and reserved.
I feel sorry for the Finnish PM.
I feel sorry for the 16 year old Swedish girl that the president has told the world he doesn't want to ****.

If this doesn’t tip things over for an impeachment, it’s difficult to see what could.
There has to be a tipping point beyond which Trump will lose the support of a few GOP Senators,become even more unhinged over it, and the penny will finally drop with the GOP establishment that he's on the way out, at which point his support will melt away.
