Not sure how much of this is wishful thinking but i do wonder if this is late stage dementia and there's a good chance he may be gone soon.
I suspect that he will probably last the full term, but what happens if he becomes so unfit for office that its too obvious to hide, they managed to with Reagan but Trump is a lot harder to handle. And then Vance steps in.
Same if he dies, what we font know is whether Vance amd co would pursue these deranged 'policies' or just shift to their own deranged priorities
they managed to with Reagan
And more recently the democrats did so with Biden.
Trump says US needs to 'own' Greenland to prevent Russia and China from taking it", whereas the Guardian headline for the same story is "Trump ramps up Greenland threats and says US will intervene ‘whether they like it or not.
That's because the Guardian has a left leaning agenda which is how it attracts its readers so is able phrase things differently. The BBC is so scared of bias they stick rigidly with the facts. It's partly what caused Brexit and why we now have the BBC fact checking stuff, trouble is you are right people don't read beyond the headline.
And more recently the democrats did so with Biden.
not sure they did really, his decline was pretty obvious, to the point where they hoofed him out for Harris , the thing is Trump is no better but the GOP are completely beholden to him and the press are too cowed to call out hus madness
I've contacted him as I've been feeling terribly guilty for the last 50 years. So next week I'm pleased to say I'll be travelling to Washington to personally hand him my cycling proficiency badge.

Unfortunately nothing like late stage dementia. Pains me to say, but early stage would be best case scenario about now. Its pure and simple Nasty Entitled Old Man Syndrome. And as I discovered this morning it can be early onset too.
I had a terrible morning swapping some txt messages with my youngest brother who is not your typical MAGA uneducated moron but a very educated neuro surgeon in La Jolla. Since his early 20s he has increasingly become more arrogant and right wing but we`d kinda ignored it. The ICE agent murdering the woman in her car was mentioned and his response was quite upsetting to read. Whilst trying to be diplomatic and agreeing with him the woman should have not tried to drive away, I argued that its extreme to ever consider the need to shoot an unarmed person 3 times in the face - in practically any scenario. I argued isn`t there always going to be a less catastrophic option to consider.
Unfortunately his response was the ICE agent did the right thing, adding some nonsense about teaching the lefties a lesson. I couldnt reply, and spoke to my wife about cutting all contact with him again. To say I`m disgusted by him is an understatement.
that's sad about your brother e-machine
im still not convinced hes not losing it bigly, could it be the meds hes on?

That's absolute bullshit, as has recently been revealed they have a right wing cabal in their directorship pushing editorial policy.
And in the past when they were afraid of being accused of bias by the right wing media, it wasn't that they stuck rigidly to the facts, it was that they gave equal coverage to unequal arguments, hence their "balanced" coverage of Brexit, climate change and more recently genocide.
The tories packed the BBC directorship with right wing zealots during their time in office, unfortunately it was labour who did a hatchet job on them and destroyed their independence following the death of Dr Kelly.

This is for his base, 30% of dumb **** Americans will lap this up and holler from the back of their pick ups as they display the confederate battle flag
@ e-machine that's very sad. La Jolla is in a democrat heartland - I suspect if you have general right wing leanings and are perhaps lacking in the empathy gene then being surrounded by 'lefties' might not help but still, I can't find many excuses for anyone who thinks that after someone clearly unarmed says 'I'm not mad at you' with a smile and their partner says we have plates you can come and check later then thinks its ok for a masked 'official' (not a policeman, in his current role) to shoot them in the face multiple times.
The country has always been troubled. Our common language has masked this in the recent past but we are back to Mississippi Burning right now.
I live in a quiet, peaceful city in the UK. If the police or an agent of the law asked me to do something, I just do it. If I was in America I'd be paranoid about doing it. Even I know that driving towards an armed officer in the USA is going to end up one way only.
I just mention that for the guy thinking about not talking to his brother over his opinions on it.
Even I know that driving towards an armed officer in the USA is going to end up one way only.
You really think that being shot in the head a few times was the only inevitable outcome in that scenario? If it seems that way then it's a good indication of how normalised the turmoil in America is becoming. Even so, I really don't see that her being shot in the head was the inevitable outcome.
I just mention that for the guy thinking about not talking to his brother over his opinions on it.
Brother, friend or whatever, I think it's important in life to surround yourself with good, decent people. How we define that is subjective to a degree but I'd have trouble staying in contact with someone that seemingly relishes a woman being shot in the head at point blank range, whatever her political bias was.
Same if he dies, what we font know is whether Vance amd co would pursue these deranged 'policies' or just shift to their own deranged priorities
I'm increasingly convinced Vance and Co are the ones running and driving all this shit now. Trump is the useful idiot front man for distraction
Even I know that driving towards an armed officer in the USA is going to end up one way only.
As has been pointed out on a lot of social media by proper, trained US law enforcement officers, they are trained to not get in front of vehicles, and not to shoot drivers, as that just makes the vehicle an unguided missile, as demonstrated in this incident.
I don't think that vance etc are running the show, I suspect they are all aligned for pretty much the same ends, that they are all aboard with project25's goals and implement them. They probably have to do a lot of the filling in detail's and legwork to make it it actually happen, but he can't be controlled and can go off the reservation at any moment, and as he showed with Musk, he ultimately has the power if they get too big for their boots.
I don't think they have a detailed project plan that they are working to, more I think a lot of it is just striking while it the iron is hot, as things happen that they can take advantage of, and he creates a lot of "events" for them to use, abuse and push stuff through.

I also live in a quiet place (Galloway) but I’d want a reason before I’d doff my cap to any authority.
Perhaps I’ve just encountered the “wrong” types of the police in this area to merely acquiesce
Even I know that driving towards an armed officer in the USA is going to end up one way only.
she was driving away from him, I'm not sure id get out of the car if asked to by the armed paramilitaries whove been locking up people at random, with many dying in custody
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-interactive/2026/jan/04/ice-2025-deaths-timeline
I didn't watch the initial video's of the shooting as I tend to avoid these things, instead I read the opinions on this thread, both sides seem to have validity. Then yesterday morning I watched the video from the ICE agents perspective and saw a smiling, non-confrontational women get killed as she gently set off while turning away from the agent. Very sad.

Keep in mind that ICE aren't police. They have zero authority to detain a U.S. citizen, even if they are blocking traffic, let alone shoot someone trying to drive away. They can question people that they have probable cause to believe are not in the country legally, but that's not a criminal matter, it's an immigration matter. The key thing is probable cause, they can't just randomly harass people, they have to have some basis to believe the person is in violation of immigration law.
Cops in America are a different matter, their training and procedures will vary from place to place, each city has its own police force. Whether or not the cops in a particular place are excellent or terrible, you are still best advised to follow their instructions.
Calls to boycott the World Cup are growing. To attend must cost a fortune in tickets + flight + visa cost then there is the ICE factor and image they are projecting right now...
"I cancelled my World Cup tickets," said Mohamad Safa, executive director of non-government organization Patriotic Vision, who has nearly 500,000 followers on X. "The ICE may decide that I am a gang member, and I'll be locked in prison for a year with no charges, no hearing, no trial, no right to consult a lawyer, no phone call. The US is not safe to visit."
US going after Mexico next, which is a host country...

A good friend from Denmark has cut ties with her cousin (also Danish) in Texas over the latter's support for MAGA, and particularly the Greenland thing. Trump is causing trouble in a lot of unlikely places.
Even I know that driving towards an armed officer in the USA is going to end up one way only.
Some were shouting "get the f out of the car", some shouting "get the f away"
Which armed loon should you be listening to? Which one is more likely to shoot you?
It's a snap decision that might end in death.
There are more videos coming out, the officers own phone video was bad enough, but there is one that is from the driver's side of the car, and shows the officer level with the car's wing, not in-front, and shows him fire the gun from the front, and then through the side window (which was open).
It's 100% clear he has murdered the individual.
I see that the gap between Trumps imagination and reality is there for all to see again. Trump announces at a meeting of oil execs that US oil companies have pledged $100 Billion of investment into Venezuela at the same time as said oil execs say the country (somewhat Unsurprisingly) is ‘uninvestable’
The other reason the meeting stood out was for his usual demented behavior - wandering off mid-sentence to stare out of the window and ramble on about his new ballroom - and to show off his new ‘Happy Trump’ lapel pin. It’s a caricature of himself, obviously. Like the infants teacher gave him a gold star for using the toilet correctly. Madder than Mad Jack McMad
If there is any investment in Venezuela it will be funded by the tax payer, while the oligarchs pocket the proceeds, that was always blatantly obvious. This is the neoliberal way, corporate subsidies are a far higher priority for them, and they are happy to attack welfare payments to finance them.
So in a weird way, Venezuela will have finally achieved a form of socialism. Granted it’s corporate socialism, so not the one they had in mind, but still…
As an aside… Mrs Binners enjoys finding absolute brain-rot reality TV series for us to briefly marvel at. Last night she found an absolute corker! It’s one about the people who live in Palm Springs and are all Trump supporting members at Mar-a-Lago
Dear lord! They are the very worst people on the planet. It’s quite staggering (but unsurprising) just how vile they all are. As they were all happy being filmed being horrific and utterly vacuous, money and status obsessed human beings, it looks like they possess the same level of self-awareness as the man himself. It goes a long way to explaining how he got elected as president reice
Keep in mind that ICE aren't police. They have zero authority to detain a U.S. citizen, even if they are blocking traffic, let alone shoot someone trying to drive away
It's naive to think normal rules apply in Trump's America. It's abundantly clear that they do have the authority, because nobody is going to stop them. They've got the authority and - based on the bile spewed by the likes of Noem, Vance and Trump - they've got immunity from any of the consequences as well.
Someone earlier in the thread mentioned it was difficult to determine if the US was going to go full on fascist. I don't think it's difficult at all.

The question is now, are our leaders in Europe going to sleepwalk us into the same situation? There is no fightback against the propaganda and financing that has created this America from doing the same here.

There's quite a lot of footage of ICE agents being turned away by sheer numbers of protesters, and of "proper" cops arresting ICE officers when they've exceeded their powers. No idea if they then get released on orders from higher ups, but pretty clear that a lot of the cops, especially those non-white heritage, are doing what they can.
I would imagine a lot of cops feel that ICE agents are hugely undermining the efforts and reputation of real law enforcement, for all it's many faults over there
There's quite a lot of footage of ICE agents being turned away by sheer numbers of protesters, and of "proper" cops arresting ICE officers when they've exceeded their powers.
And on the other hand, even after the events of the last few days, the MN governor assigned the state National Guard to confront demonstrators outside a hotel housing ICE thugs.
It's funny how ICE seem to target Home Depot car parks or landscape gardening contractors
They don't seem overly keen to head into gang neighbourhoods and round up the MS-13 members that Trump has vowed to eliminate in the past
The "normal" law enforcement didn't cover themselves in glory during the black lives matter protests (although there were some who bucked the trend).
The republicans have long told the military and law enforcement that they are the ones that have their backs. But if you actually look at the track record, pardoning the jan 6 protesters where officers were murdered by the mob, trying to withdraw financial support for those involved in 911 and the veterans of gulf wars, Trump actually mocking war hero's, and the recent removal of plaques honouring black service men. They have never had their backs, the dems have always (or for at least a couple of decades) given far more practical support to law enforcement and military veterans than the republicans.
Yet, that republican right wing militaristic and "law and order" superficial flag shagging rhetoric creates far more support among their numbers than real events.
That being said, I have seen more pushback from police leaders about this shooting and ICE deployments, than similar events before. Maybe it is some of those blatant insults to their "own" that is starting to stick and have an impact in their thinking. Or maybe they just feel usurped by a well funded "new sheriff in town".
I bet all the EDC websites/youtubers are doing a great trade from all the sad **** ICE thugs cosplaying as real officers,

Brilliant speech by the chief of police in Philadelphia - black woman - wouldn’t like to be on her wrong side !!
Trump doing his usual. Do something he doesn't like it simply don't obey him and he hits you with a made up law suite.
Trumps always going on about "the markets" amongst all his other rambling but I suspect this isn't exactly going to be treated with much positivity by them.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c801k7rkkd7o
He’s being investigated because he made trump look like the ill informed **** that he has is, remember Powell correcting trump over the fed building costs?
and of "proper" cops arresting ICE officers when they've exceeded their powers.
There is? I've seen next to none of that (apart from them being arrested for stuff like a DUI not when performing their brown shirt duties). Most footage shows local and state police either directly assisting ICE or containing protesters which indirectly supports ICE.

My FIL has exactly the same view, it’s almost the older they get the less empathetic they get and seem happy when violence happens to other people with differing views.
The question is now, are our leaders in Europe going to sleepwalk us into the same situation?
I think the upcoming May Senedd elections will be a good indicator of Reforms potential.
It was well covered in the media how Caerphilly was initially seen as a nailed on Reform victory, and turning point. Signalling Reforms take over of Labour as Wales main party.
Fortunately, from what I read, a local well-known Welsh nationalist won by a sizeable majority. And Caerphilly residents told Reform to f*#k off back home (sprayed on their office door).
However, this may have given a false picture of Reforms potential success. I think May will provide a better indication of Reforms potential success or failure.
My FIL has exactly the same view, it’s almost the older they get the less empathetic they get and seem happy when violence happens to other people with differing views.
I am still trying to understand how he, and others, aren't disgusted and horrified a person can shoot another person intentionally 3x when there were non violent options available to resolve it.
I still keep coming back to only a psychopath could think it justified to do so.
it’s an old law but ICE is stupidly well funded.

As a countrpoint to this, I have a friend that is a police officier in a reasonably large city in Germany. He's armed (as are all German police). I got a message from him last year looking, frankly beaten up after he'd got out of hospital... Stitches in his forehead, bruising over his face and puffy eyes.
I asked him what happened and he said that he and his partner had stopped a guy in a car and that, while they were talking to him, the guy had got angry and aggressive. The long and short of it was that he'd ended up getting dragged down the road by the guy half inside the car that his partner had filled with pepper spray (hence the puffy eyes) and, when the guy slammed on the brakes, had smacked his face on the dash and split open his head. He arrested the guy and then went to Aktuen. At no point did either officer draw on the guy.
He admitted that he was pretty lucky/stupid though and I gave him shit for being stupid, but it shows the level of restraint in some armed police forces outside the US.
I think the upcoming May Senedd elections will be a good indicator of Reforms potential.
I don't think that reform are our only problem or even at the heart of the problem, given that labour are constantly swinging to the right, inviting the oligarch tech bros into the classrooms and health service, doing nothing about the oligarchy owning politics (including labour), cosying up to fascists and genocidal regimes and are happy to promote the "immigrants are at fault" narrative to excuse financial inequality and the cost of living crisis.
When I say "sleepwalking us into the same problem" I am not talking about the very visible enemy of reform, but that right wing dogma is already firmly established and controlling "normal" politics, supporting an increasing economic divide that is damaging the wealth, health and happiness of society.
I think that comparing the US and Russia is a reasonable allegory of the political and economic battle that is being waged.
The US is now a bigger threat than Russia to western peace and prosperity, but we are still building more walls against Russia while opening doors to invite the US in, even though both have the same aims (even if for different reasons). Fighting against reform and their counterparts is rather pointless if the traditional parties are implementing the same economic and information warfare on the masses at the bequest of the same paymasters, while pretending it is the only option or the "adult sensible option".

Absolutely this. And in that sense we are following the US. The Minneapolis murderer was not hired by Trump and set to work by Noem; he was hired under Obama. ICE have been deporting people for years, maybe not as violently or openly as today, but this is not a new situation, and America was fine with it. It's the current state of a process that has been going on for a while, under Democrats and Republicans.
he was hired under Obama
He was hired under Bush
Are we really going to do “all presidents are the same”?
Nobody is saying every president is the same, but when the old "parties of the people" like the democrats and labour keep pushing further right, it establishes a foundation for the established right wing parties to push even further right, then labour and the dems etc get back in and paper over the cracks and make all those changes already made the baseline, and repeat.
I again go back to Bidens departure speach, where he eventually warned about the power of the oligarchs and the damage they were doing in society. Why hadn't he been beating that drum for his whole presidency? what did he do to curtail their power when he could at least try? Absolutely ****ing nothing because corrupt ****ers like him and Pelosi were happy to go along with it and pocket the money when they were on the gravy chain, the democrats and labour have not been the good guys for a long time, just the slightly not as bad guys, and this is the result of their greed and stupidity.
They are every bit as responsible for creating the material conditions that are now being taken advantage of to push the world into fascism.
The Minneapolis murderer was not hired by Trump and set to work by Noem; he was hired under Obama.
The President doesn't personally hire every federal employee. They are hired by a bureaucracy, which is staffed by career employees who usually serve under multiple Presidents. What has changed under Trump is that ICE have become extremely aggressive in their tactics, that attitude is coming from the top. This is on Trump and MAGA, not Obama or Bush, regardless of whose administration originally hired this guy.
The President doesn't personally hire every federal employee.
Oh really? And there’s me thinking that he did! But the bottom line is that this person, who thinks it’s fine to shoot a woman in the face and then call her a “bitch” was not in his job due to Trump As I said they are more openly violent today, but my take is that they have just been given permission to show who they are In the same way people have been given permission to show their racist and misogynistic tendencies by the racist misogynist in the White House
It's just like soldiers though... of course under "all presidents" there is recruitment into the army... but if this president deploys them on the streets, sacks or squeezes out those in leadership or oversight positions who put the constitution before his personal whims, and eventually (let's hope he doesn't) orders them to take control of state buildings and detain politicians that oppose him in a presidential election year... that isn't the fault of the presidents that went before him because the country had a military under them as well.
Yes the Democrats are to blame for everything aren’t they, just imagine the chaos under a Harris administration 🫣
Yes the Democrats are to blame for everything aren’t they, just imagine the chaos under a Harris administration
No of course not, they are heroic defenders of virtue and all that is right and good in the world, under a Harris administration clearly world poverty would have been eliminated, peace would reign, pollution and climate change would disappear and cute tweeting little birds would help us dress in the morning.

"People who can't fix everything are as bad as fascists."
The people of the USA had a choice. They (and we) are feeling the effect of that choice. Trump is not the same as Harris, just because neither match up to our ideals (that are not in place anywhere in the world right now) doesn't make them equivalent to each other. The Democrats warned what a second Trump presidency would be like... and despite being proven correct are being labelled as having "Trump derangement syndrome" for pointing out the obvious by some... blamed for "paving the way" for Trump by others. What is happening right now is on Trump, his supporters, and those who voted with them.
Long live god emperor Trump, first of his name
And, hopefully, the last
The Democrats warned what a second Trump presidency would be like... and despite being proven correct are being labelled as having "Trump derangement syndrome" for pointing out the obvious by some... blamed for "paving the way" for Trump by others
Exactly. I knew a few Bernie bros and they just insisted that Hillary was just the same as Trump so why bother voting?
The people of the USA had a choice.
They had a bad choice, everyone knew that Hilarry wasn't a good choice, but the democrats pushed her into the spotlight knowing she was unpopular with the general public so they could suppress any real progressive alternative.
They hid Biden's decline until it was disastrously clear he wasn't capable far too late and shoehorned an also unpopular Harris in to her idiotic "brat energy" campaign. You can pretend to ignore the complete and utter **** up they made if you like, but they have a shit load of resposibilaty for leaving an open goal for the far right to score in.
It's odd how the people who preach everyone else should take responsibility, have their heads so far up their own arragant arses that they refuse to accept responsibility for the governments they wanted and who have made such a mess that so many people are willing to risk the false hope of an orange bullshiter to their no hope no change centrism.
Well, there you go. Far from perfect Democrat candidates are to blame. We let the world burn.
Yes you are letting the world burn, well done you.
“” Imagine if she'd tried to eat a bacon sandwich!”

In 2015 ?
He started work as border patrol in 2007. He transferred to ICE in 2015.
It's not an attempt to deny your point, but with polarisation of US politics as it is I feel it's important to make the distinction that this guy didn't start his career fighting immigrants under Obama.

They might be Hollywood darlings but Mark Ruffalo is a class act(or).
Taking Trump to 'Task'.
His second interview here is absolutely spot on.
Putting this here, as I don't think there's a Hegseth thread and I don't think that spineless weasel merits one. He went after Senator Mark Kelly, because Kelly rightly said military personnel were required to uphold the constitution and refuse illegal orders. Nothing controversial there, it's US law. Hegseth didn't like it, Trump weighed in and they accused him of sedition and started legal proceedings to have his retired rank and military pension removed or reduced.
Kelly is a decorated war veteran and former astronaut. His wife Gabby Giffords survived being shot in the head in a shooting which killed 6 others. He's a brave, principled man. Everything the White House inhabitants aren't and that they hate. He has come out fighting and is going back at Hegseth all guns blazing, including launching a lawsuit against Hegseth directly. He is popping up on talk shows and ripping in to Hegseth all over the place saying he is “the most unqualified secretary of defense in our country’s history” and vowing to “fight this with everything I’ve got”.
This is his speech in the senate announcing the lawsuit and giving Hegseth both barrels. Satisfying to watch!
Trump weighed in and they accused him of sedition
I forgot to mention, Trump also said "punishable by death".

Kelly has some pretty strong views and choice words on that subject too. I think there's some hope amongst Democrats that he might agree to run for president in 2028. A hope I share.
