More Americans disapprove than approve of Trump's and Hegseth's handling of the military. Approval of U.S. generals and admirals' job handling is higher.

Is there even one Republican voter left who hasn’t been swept up by the gloriously absurd, childishly naïve MAGA cult? Someone who can still operate a brain cell independently, and who doesn’t swallow the fairy tales gushing out of the corrupt, anti-democratic circus in the White House?

A multiple line chart of YouGov polling data with the headline: "Approval by age of Donald Trump's second-term job performance." The chart's sub-headline is: "Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as President? (% who strongly or somewhat approve minus the % who strongly or somewhat disapprove)." The chart has the note: "Note: Responses of "don't know" are not shown."

Pentagon Pete's 'Manic' Meltdowns Exposed by Aides The former Fox News host is reportedly spiraling out of control.

The former Fox News host is reportedly spiraling out of control, being described by staffers as “manic.”

The war in Ukraine is in full swing.
Israel’s war crimes in Gaza and illegal occupation of the West Bank continue.

Comical Karoline in the White House is most concerned with an escalator and the teleprompter.

The turning point.

Not everything is getting better. This man could become the next president of the United States.
He truly understands nothing.

Guess if the power elite in Russia and China are laughing themselves to tears.

A hallmark of MAGA isn't just lying, but an endless stream of obvious lies.

It's not patently absurd to suggest a negotiated path to peace; plenty of conflicts ended that way. But WW2 ended with unconditional surrenders by Germany and Japan! This is a lazy lie for the sake of lying.

Vice President JD Vance says terribly strange things about the war in Ukraine, and like his boss, he understands nothing about the United States’ role as a superpower. It’s really completely empty. www.kyivpost.com/opinion/5814...

The Republicans...

Not easy to understand when you really should never have had the job. In a normal country.

FEMA coordinates the work of federal, state, and local agencies in response to floods and other natural disasters. The agency also distributes funds to individuals and authorities...

Orban banned it, so even more people turned out

But what did Trump say then?

❓️

What a competent and courageous American president should have made clear:

It was Russia that started this war, and of course Ukraine is fully within its rights to strike back at military targets across all of Russia.

Trump Says Putin on Call Vowed Retaliation After Drone Strike President Donald Trump said Russian leader Vladimir Putin warned him he would retaliate for a recent Ukrainian drone strike on Russian airfields in a phone call Wednesday, signaling further complications in the US effort to broker a ceasefire.

A kind of liberation day.
Just need to get rid of the entire administration in 2028.

Comic Karoline says so many strange things. But can we expect anything else as long as her so-called boss is president? No.

A significant proportion of Americans — 39% — think that President Trump sympathizes more with Russia; only 15% believe he sides with Ukraine, and 26% say he sides with neither country.

No. It's not a bad movie. It's just the latest news from the Home Alone party at the White House. In 2025...
The USA will need a few decades, maybe 100 years, to get rid of the stench of dictatorship à la North Korea.
