"Oh Goody" said Trump, "No sign of the Epstein Files or Jack Smith".

The Governor of Utah actually came out and said as much: "We prayed the shooter would be a foreigner, not one of us^. code for black, brown, democrat.

Well, that is a political statement but a much needed one. Brava. A clarion call to Romania to get its act together. That election was a close call and H.M. is sending a warning that next time they may not be so lucky.

I use marigolds as sacrifical plants to deter and distract slugs, aphids and other pests from attacking my important plants. This tweet shows #LindseyGraham is Trump's Marigold, offering his last shred of sanity in sacrifice to distract from #Trump eating away at US democracy.

Any idea of the long term outlook, Alan? I have a fear that our recent glorious weather will be followed by a miserable summer.

I invoked that ancient Irish curse "May he die roaring" upon Trump yesterday. I've never done that before. God forgive me.

Were there children on that school bus? I hope not, but no mention. Hope too she can receive a kidney transplant. #VirginiaGuiffre

No more worries about Trump starting WW3, or the shenannigans in Dail Eireann so. The end of the world is nigh. Tomorrow, apparently, when half the sun will disappear, according to that reliable soirce @news.rte.ie

What an alarming headline! 'Disappear from view' would be more correct and less apocalyptic sounding.

I'm a bit shocked he is still in the 'treatment phase'. I assumed because he is back working hard that he had moved to maintenance, or even been cured by now.

I'm starting to feel the deranged, erratic moron may not make it to 2028. The trajectory of his incompetent, unqualified, fearful and fawning administration is more economic hardship, an angry MAGA and implosion. How that implosion manifests remains to be seen. #Trump #25th #Scapegoat #Vance

The Commonwealth 'family photo' will be interesting considering Trump may well have invaded Canada by then.

In other words "We have Trump dancing to our tune because 1. He's an idiot and 2. We've shown him the Kompromat".

I hope he is not ambushed by Vance challenging him about Enoch Burke and pronouns. Or worse, putting the family in the same room to harrangue the Taoiseach in front of the cameras.

The forces of darkness are massing. We all feel it. Everywhere, evil is filling the void left by apathy. Lies are smothering truth. Shameless men manipulate the stupid. Greed prevails over honor & duty. The weak bow down but you must not! To stop Trump we must show our determination & his weakness.
