Jesus wept...
https://edition.cnn.com/2025/04/27/us/children-us-citizens-deported-honduras/index.html
Jesus wept? Jesus has already been deported in shackles on account of the name and the middle-eastern complexion. We can expect pictures of him stuck in an El Salvadorean prison imminently.
If you want to read that TIME magazine transcript in full...

Sweet Jesus! He makes Boris Johnson’s meaningless blathering sound grounded in reality! 😳
It would be interesting to run the transcript through AI asking if each question was actually answered and if so, how and with what evidence.
Is it normal for magazines to publish transcripts or are they doing this as a one off, you know, in case any of us doubt his focus, intellect and attention to detail?
Why would they do an interview but not print it?
Why would they do an interview but not print it?
Because the editor thought it was such complete work of fiction/lies a serious news magazine shouldn't publish?
Gotta love that artwork in the background, he really is morphing into Biff Tannen.
Aaand hes just given Canada back to the liberals managing to reverse a huge poll lead for the Conservatives....
At least some countries still have some self respect amongst their electorates. I don't think the locals and Runcorn are going to paint the UK electorate in a good light.

That really has been a fantastic unintended result. Can Starmer call an early election and run the entire campaign on pics of Farage and various Tories cosying up to Trump?
There's a video on BlueSky of Trump arriving at the Pope's funeral, complete silence as he walks in.
Then Zelensky arrives to a warm round of applause and greetings from everyone.

Is this a competition concerning how much self-respect electorates have in different countries? If so using the suggested criteria the UK must rank fairly high in Europe.
Never mind the predicted by-election protest vote against a highly unpopular centrist government which is failing to deliver in the UK, and have a look instead at Trump best buddy Viktor Orban who has served four consecutive terms as Hungarian Prime Minister.
And then also look at the rest of Europe:
Apparently Trump, the government and the R&A are trying to work out how the Open could be staged at his course.
I'm sorry, but in the spirit of America first, I'd suggest that the income and prestige of hosting the Open should remain with a course owned by a UK owned/based business.

Even yesterday he was still going on about the 51st state... He must have known by that point that he was pushing Canada towards the Liberals? I wondered if it would suit Trump for Canada to be an adversary rather than having an ally in Poilevre, or I'm overthinking it and he's just real dumb.

Well,he may be an inarticulate ,narcissistic bag of vomit poured in to a suit.
Or
The most powerful deal broker of the modern world,and should have a place on Mount Rushmore ,right after he is awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Not long after his attacks on Europe help reduce the far right votes in Germany. Carry on Donald you're doing a great job.

As a golfer, if the R&A even considered this then all credibility would be lost. They make such a huge thing about golf being all about integrity...well let's see if the values they preach align with their own values. I suspect money will be the deciding factor here unfortunately.

Sport administration being what it is, I suspect you are right.
The R&A did take a stand over Muirfield, though, so credit on that one.
Turnberry is an arse to get to as well. I've heard estimates that revenues at the actual location would be expected as 65%-70% of somewhere like St Andrews and greater expense carting all the temporary infrastructure there. Maybe they'll use that to screw some money out of the orange crook at least. The cost of security will also be through the roof compared to somewhere not associated with him.

I'm not disputing that this is true at all, but there is sometimes some thought behind his actions, even if I vehemently disagree with them. I can see how it could suit Donald to have someone else to blame for issues in the US (that are mostly a result of his actions).
Gotta love that artwork in the background, he really is morphing into Biff Tannen.
Biff Tannen had a sports almanac from the future.
Does Trump have one of those? No sir, he does not.
1-0, Biff.
Biff also smells considerably less of manure than the Don, despite his driving difficulties. 2-0 Biff.
BBC reporting that it's looking likely that Poilievre is currently projected to lose his seat too.
well he did take Dan Hannan on to help boost his campaign https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/07/canada-conservatives-poilievre-grassroots-00114542
it is nuts that Trump was doubling down on his canada attacks yesterday, helping the liberals get over the line at the last
Big furor brewing now with Amazon over their plan to display the added tariff. Great when the rats turn on each other.

I think it was Trek or one of the other well known cycle brands who were going to do this too - add it on in the basket like a sales tax. It was under the guise of not having to redo literature etc. but is obviously a great way of highlighting to the consumer just why they are paying more.
Poor Bezos, after donating all that many to Trumps inauguration fund too
https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lnxdr7tbw22b
genuinely interested to see where this one goes , Trump openly attacking companies wont do the markets any good & even if Bezos and others back down , it wont make the markets happy and many consumers already know price rises are thanks to tariffs anyway.
sounds like Amazon are backing down, now saying, it was only ever an idea for one of their websites, not the main one...
Well that lasted all of 5 mins -
Amazon - Here you go consumer, have all the info we have about why this costs more.
White House - you are making shopping a political attack on us, how dare you inform consumers.
Amazon - Oh sorry boss.
First impeachment attempt made in the House of Representatives.
Impeachment is established in the HoR, guilt established in the Senate.
It isn't expected to get that far
Quite difficult for big businesses.
Depends on who you believe is considered paramount by the top table, but huge amounts of ordinary people could become unemployed.
Equally, the top table loses out.
Either way they'll bend with the wind

I’m genuinely shocked. Jeff Bezos always came across as a man of the people, just like Trump himself

Not the first example of the Whitehouse attacking the people for implementing the Whitehouse's own policies. The requirement to remove a whole host of content the Whitehouse considers to be 'DEI' from federal servers meant the US Airforce having remove references to the Tuskegee Airmen from their website and their training materials. The Whitehouse then accused the Airforce of attempting to deliberately embarrasses the adminstration by doing exactly what they had been ordered to do.
The UK US trade deal, reading between the lines. Is that now being kicked into the long grass because what the Americans wanted was too odious to accept. And both sides wanted it to disappear from the news cycles with as little fuss/embarrassment at another failed trade deal as possible?

It's not very different from how the Johnson-Truss-Sunak governments attacked the UK civil service for not being able to turn Brexit fantasy into reality overnight.
Populists who are elected on the back of lies need someone to blame when the lies are exposed.
Same arse, different cheeks.
that now being kicked into the long grass
I think aside from any political intent on either side, Obama’s point made back in 2016 still stands - Britain leaving a large trading block and seeking to negotiate deals on its own simply puts it at the back of the queue. There are louder, larger and closer voices all seeking to make deals that are more economically consequential to the US and those voices are simply going to get heard first. Every time, no matter who the president is.
America; "our chlorine washed chicken is totally safe
also America "https://www.cbsnews.com/news/usda-withdraws-rule-salmonella-levels-raw-poultry/"
its purely coincidence that trump's biggest inauguration donor was a large chicken meat business!

I would have said the same if it wasn't for the US admin bigging up a deal barely a week ago. And other, more important economies simply walking off as Japan did.

You can't believe a word these populist shysters say. That may just have been Trump doing a "look a squirrel" job. We saw it with Johnson too - say whatever gets me through the next 24 hour news cycle with as little scrutiny as possible.
Another day, another bucket of bullshit to disperse.
