Trump is clearly trying to see how far he can go without losing his Christofascist following. Praising Allah on Easter Sunday? No problem...
Praising Allah on Easter Sunday? No problem...
Just another day in the madhouse. Its proof, if ever it were needed, about Americans not really doing irony, that he's just accused somebody else of being 'crazy bastards'
And does sir think his own behavior looks sane?
It makes you wonder what he actually has to do before procedures are put in motion to remove him from office? I suppose we'll find out on Tuesday. Will he TACO it, or will he make an already desperate situaution about a million times worse?
Unfortunately, I think we all know the answer to that already. And just to think, those visionaries at the Daily Star saw this one coming years ago. Its almost like a prophecy...
Praising Allah on Easter Sunday?
It's his version of diplomacy 😄😄😄
(Well, after the gunboat kind had been found wanting)
Imagine being on Trump's bodyguard team....
Someone wrote a song about that…
TBH I'd have gone with
I don't want him to die any time soon. I want him to stay alive to face the scrutiny, investigations and criminal charges that will follow his ousting like a dam breaking. And then to face up to his irrelevance when no one wants to pick up the phone any more and all the sycophants and hangers on shun him like the plague. Ideally, I want him to spend at least some time in a prison cell before he croaks, with the realisation his legacy will be infamy as the most hated, corrupt, incompetent, criminal president in US history.
Whilst I agree with you I cant see it ever happening. It will be dragged out for years before anthing happens.
IMHO he'll die in office and face no scrutiny,investigations or criminal charges.
Its not by accident that Hesgeth has sacked the people he has.
Everything they do is seeing how far they can go and what/who stops them.
Your dealing with a loon,there's no knowing whats going to happen next.
(Although we have already seen his attempt at an insurrection and how he didn't lose the election he lost)
Insomnia tonight so got to having a bit of a thunk. That's unusual enough in itself for me but I also thought I'd post my thoughts. Double unusual. 😉
So, "Is Trump more dangerous than Putin?"
Well, I remember being pretty blasé about Putin routinely threatening to use nukes over western support of Ukraine. I remember stating in the Ukraine thread during Covid that a guy insisting upon sitting at the end of a table the size of a football pitch to remain *very* socially distanced from foreign dignitaries likely wants to live as long as possible. He's also not likely to see spending the last of his days in a bunker as the world above endures a nuclear winter as a win.
Trump is a different animal and I think it makes him far more dangerous in many ways.
Now, Trump doesn't want to die either, I also don't see him wanting to lose the quality of life that his wealth affords him by ending his days in a bunker.
So why do I think Trump is more dangerous?
Putin knows that if he used nukes it would likely end in his death or playing real life Metro 2033. Now Trump isn't threatening nukes admittedly (yet) but he lacks the strategic thinking and simple intelligence to see that his actions could lead to his death or living under a mountain for a 'bit of a while'.
What I'm inelegantly trying to say is that Putin has enough brains to see that his own actions can negatively impact him, directly. Trump doesn't. Trump is stupid enough to burn the world down due to his actions as he genuinely can't countenance 'losing' and can't see that ever now desperate actions taken 'not to lose 'actually risks him and everyone else, well, losing everything.
It could also be argued that Trump is simply mad and as utterly devoid of humanity as Putin is, he is not. In this context mad/ stupid are functionality the same for Trump.
Anyway...
"Tomorrow night, Poopscoop discusses whether your TV remote really will blow up if you use batteries from different brands in it."
It could also be argued that Trump is simply mad and as utterly devoid of humanity as Putin is, he is not. In this context mad/ stupid are functionality the same for Trump.
I think is probably a fair summary. Putin could have escalated the Ukraine conflict but does seem to understand consequences, maybe because of living through the fall of the Soviet empire. Trump has never faced consequences for anything.
Pritzker, the governor of Illinois has come and bascally said that Trump is so far beyond the threshold for the 25th amendment it needs to happen. This may be the best option for the US and GOP. Vance is just as dangerous but hasn't changed to being in favour of wars at least. The US basically walking away saying "We're sorry he was crazy" may be the off ramp the whole world needs.
Not making it to the list of Trump’s biggest obscenities maybe, but an eloquent statement to what sort of man he is - driving whales to extinction, just because.

Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz , maybe he will become it's first inmate!!!!
Own up - how many of you have edited your mail signature to say
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER
No, but I am adopting the use of "****ing do" X or Y or there will consequences. Know your audience.
Just watching that Artemis mission coverage on the news, I'm expecting Trump to declare that the Moon is now US territory any day now
I'm expecting Trump to declare that the Moon is now US territory any day now
The moons inhabitants have already made their views clear.
At this point im questioning whether we are living in a simulation and the AI running it is just taking the absolute piss, because the alternative is that....
A dementia riddled, spray-painted moron is somehow the most powerful man on the planet and is telling a group of kids a lot of falsehoods about a war he started but can't win, whilst standing next his wife (a former model introduced to him by the worlds most infamous paedophile and sex trafficker) and a guy in a giant bunny costume

I'm expecting him to rename the Kennedy Space Centre when they return. And given that the crew includes a Canadian, a black man and a woman, I can see any official recognition for the Artemis crew becoming a cringeworthy embarassment
Also spotted this on the BBC - supporting Putins Hungarian puppet and picking up tips on election rigging.
BBC News - JD Vance due in Hungary to back Orban's re-election bid
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cyv16lq2rp1o
I saw what Orban was getting up to in Hungary, in conjunction with Putin, and thought that Trumps cronies would be looking to that as a blueprint
A mate who lives in North Carolina, who is hardly one for conspiracy theories, is convinced that they’re going to engineer some major ‘state of emergency’ stunt in order to cancel the midterm elections
BBC News - JD Vance due in Hungary to back Orban's re-election bid
Seems like maybe a risky strategy given how toxic the US has become in Europe, with even Meloni and AfD distancing themselves from Trump
It’s coming to something when the Italians think you’re a bit too far right to be associated with
I suppose that shows us where the world now is
I agree that Trump's endorsement may not be the winner they think it is. I'm not sure what impact his control of the press will gave though. Plus his possible false flag sabotage event the other day. Maybe that is what Vance has gone to study.
Meloni recently lost some referendum, so her popularity/policies may be in decline.
I think binners mate in America has simply caught up with what some of us have been suggesting for a few months on here. Though what started as a bit of a giggle is looking a lot more serious now.
At what point do the US population 'wake up' enough to the fact that they are now governed by a despot with mental health issues who has created a 'wall' of supporters and institutions around him to prop up his grifting and control? Maybe the press is not reporting on it, but it feels like there is not any sense of a strong opposition to him.
Will the forthcoming mid-term elections create enough of an upset to enable a proper opposition to Trump and MAGA crew?
How will this all play out? So many factors, but it feels like his health, Iran, US economy, and so many more issues are about to 'land on his head'.
Funnily enough, a British reporter has raised the question of Trumps mental health with Trump
A reporter just called out Donald Trump's mental health to his face and had the entire internet applauding - The Poke https://share.google/qOb3aKnwSdzaBT1Zn
Heads up.. raw materials and parts price rises between 5% and 20% on bikes coming in already, related to Trump's Iran idiocy. Expecting delays too.
At what point do the US population 'wake up' enough
So many of them won't, that's the danger (or strength) in identity politics and populism. Also the danger for any one on 'the left' or opposition who still thinks common sense comes into this. The worse it gets the more the story that it's someone else's fault and the populists have the solution takes hold. Stories beat stats every time, that's how it works.
Rory Stewart on TRIP the other day was in a US university, surrounded by educated democrat voters. He was shocked by how little interest in the war there was and how the barrage of awful shite happening has left them exhausted with it. It's like they are thinking 'we just need to keep our heads down and ride this out for another 4 years'.
It is head frazzling enough when you don't even live there. How would most people respond if Farage gets in, fighting it tooth and nail or keep on with your life and hope he f&cks off in a few years?
The farage point is very salient
I think we will be there soon
meanwhile in America.......

I'm not optimistic about the answer to that question. How much of an outcry has there been about the various abominations wrought by Starmer et al - imprisoning peaceful protesters, helping the Gaza genocide etc? On the bright side, the UK is quite pathetic on the world stage so he wouldn't have the means to do damage on a Trumpian scale.
Hes saying a whole civilisation will be wiped out tonight.
What’s to stop him nuking them, again?
apart from TACO, obvs.
You keep on thinking this is it - this is as bad as he'll get, then somehow he manages to get worse.
I hope he dies alone & in pain.

I've just received a letter from ExxonMobil, who supply all our lubricants and fluids to work that we're on a supply restriction unless we justify why we need to purchase, and that justification is signed off by one of their senior managers. Great. Thanks for that Donald you orange lunatic.
Although at least out power station isn't likely to be destroyed by heavy ordinance, so maybe I shouldn't complain too much.
Hes saying a whole civilisation will be wiped out tonight.
Just a little bit at odds with 'Help is on its way' from just a few weeks ago isn't it. This 'whole civilisation' presumably includes the protesters that are supposed to be rising up and taking back their country - the guys who's interest Trump claims he's supporting - the population of the country he's saying will take more than their lifetimes to rebuild.
All he's really saying at any point is something he things his supporters would say 'woo!' to. But increasingly fewer 'woos' are coming. He's trying everything though - is anyone keeping a tally on how many times he's claimed victory so far?
Somehow he has won and also required to make ever greater threats against and adversary that is both desperate to make a deal and is giving him presents.
I'm just going to put it out there. I reckon he doesn't really think these things through.

Im sorry but while labour have been very dissapointing on many things since coming to power, this kind of false equivalence was made repeatedly by people who wouldnt vote for Harris/ Biden ........ and look where thats ended up
you are very naive if you think a Reform government wouldnt be magnitudes worse than anything weve seen from Labour
I have a very online leftwing friend who was saying exactly that about Harris and how no one should vote for her, he now completely clams up if I mention it.

To be fair, imprisoning peaceful protesters and supporting Israeli war crimes was not just a Starmer issue. It goes back a few PMs and governments.
So your lack of optimism is probably well placed.

Lucky that that's not what I'm saying, then. My point was that since the British public have had little to say about Gaza etc., we can extrapolate to say that they won't have all that much more to say about whatever obscenities Reform might concoct. No equivalence stated or implied.
To be fair, imprisoning peaceful protesters and supporting Israeli war crimes was not just a Starmer issue. It goes back a few PMs and governments.
True, but I don't recall previous PMs saying the Israelis "have that right" to starve Palestinians, or keeping quiet while a genocide was enacted.
But we digress ...

All of them have, going back decades, as much as what they don't say as what they do say. However much we dislike Starmer is just the same as his predecessors.

This happened with Brexit as well.
Ended with absolute exhaustion on all sides having cost 5 years of wasted parliamentary time and two general elections. Eventually "the public" were fed up to the back teeth of the whole thing.
Anyway, what are the odds on Trump deploying nuclear weapons when his ceasefire deal expires later today and Iran are still openly mocking him and shooting down the occasional jet to remind everyone that they still have really rather good anti-aircraft defences thanks very much.
Americans really do not do irony. Vance has accused the EU of interference in the Hungarian elections....from Hungary.

I think the question is what damage would he do to the UK?
I think the question is what damage would he do to the UK?
Higher tariff? Since Trump can't bomb UK so the next best thing will be some sort of economy strangle.
If Starmer can stand up to Trump, Starmer will have no problem in continuing his position as PM. The question is whether he is confident enough that people are behind him.
Trump has gone rather uncontrollable now as he gets closer to the puppet master.
As for Farage, he will get burn if he gets too close to his pal Trump as he will become indirectly a 2nd tier puppet.
I ain't voting for puppet(s).
Both Trump and Farage were good entertainment at the beginning of their political career, but then the problem starts when both start to believe in themselves.
So regime change via tariff.

Those 4 guys are lucky enough to be further away from Trump than anyone else in the galaxy right now. Can't really understand why they're coming back.

Yes, runaway inflation and severe economy downturn or depression. People get hungry and blame the govt. Govt has no clue how to solve the problem because they don't have the "cards" against the world biggest muppet.
The only way is to reach out to China, but then muppet will punish whoever reach out to China.

Well, the scary bit is that they might come back to a wasteland like planet of the apes.
Whatever happens tonight lets remember:
He'll be in office for another 2 1/2 years.
I don't think this will even be close to how bad things might get in that time.
We are being dragged along in a riptide, like most of the world, to somewhere very bad indeed.
America should never be forgiven for this.
2 1/2 years...
You’ve seen he’s decided that his plan has worked brilliantly and there’s a 2 week ceasefire now?

He will probably start bombing soon, as usual. What he says is the opposite of what he will do.
Nothing to do with stocks and shares saying one thing and doing the opposite.
Not sure what his most overriding trait is, batshit mental or greed…
And then what happens in 2 weeks time?
Back to bombing runs?
He'll have moved on to his next mayhem or perhaps now's he's warmed the war machine Greenland and Denmark.
I think even the most hardcore bomber pilot, fresh from hitting infrastructure in Iran might blink at being asked to bomb Denmark
I thought it was Cuba that was next in line for the Trump treatment?
Just checking... Is he still on the Epstein List?

The timing on Iran this was off, he really needed it to be on the midterms, would have allowed for various cunning schemes to be played.
Or he leaves office for another person in charge/party(with all the legal issues that come with it.)without any drama.
(*excluding death in office)
Of course we could all be worrying/scaremongering about USA becoming a dictatorship and using their force to get what they want and it does not come to pass.
I suppose with the whole world of social media content providers/view monetisation/algorithms were being constantly fed stuff to engage us we’re just the cattle to be endlessly milked, perhaps Trump isn’t the problem alone.
Just checking... Is he still on the Epstein List?
Keep up - it's not 'the list' anymore. Its Operation Epstein Fury™
Its interesting regarding the firing of Pam Bondi that a) She's been fired without Trump finding the need to say anything mean about her, which is totally off-brand, and b) She was scheduled to testify to congress on the Epstein files in the next few days.
Just checking... Is he still on the Epstein List?
TBF he’s only mentioned 38,000’ish times in it, so only in passing 🙂
Someone on the radio said last night that he thought that the Trump gang had made millions from this recent Iran venture through short selling.

It has to be in the billions and it's far from over yet.

You know full well that one doesnt hold up!

Yes, you’re right . Sky (I think it was) opined that the missing pilot “brought a human face” to the conflict. Brown children don’t count.
Oh it’s a shame Starmer isn’t complicit in Trumps Tuesday night war crimes, I was looking forward to pissing on him! (Sarcasm)
