I am now in my 55th year of being an imminent millionaire.

Bannon's strategy was to "flood the zone with shit"
Trump heard, "fill the headlines with dead Americans"
ICE wasn't killing enough
The measles wasn't killing enough
Mass murderers weren't killing enough
So now he's launched a full scale war
That should do it

Are you sick to the back teeth of hearing TV and radio presenters begin a broadcast with the words... "NIGEL FARAGE SAYS....."πŸ€”

Yes. He gets too much exposure for his actual support.

❗️Spanish Prime Minister SΓ‘nchez openly spoke out against US President Trump amid his statements yesterday about breaking trade relations with Spain.

In his speech, he criticized Trump over the decision to start the war and emphasized that his country does not support it,

No of course it wouldn’t. Trump would have started a different war and charged the Ukraines for the arms right from the beginning. The Art of the Deal is always more important when he can take advantage of someone.

The United States, France and Britain defend cities in the Middle East such as Doha, Abu Dhabhi and Dubai from Shahed drones.

They refuse to shelter the skies and defend European cites such as Kyiv, Odesa and Kharkiv from identical attacks.

For no particular breaking topical reason, a recent (award-winning) cartoon.

Noem is a disgrace and a disgusting person. She cannot even bring herself to say she may have rushed to judgement and apologise for at least that. This behaviour is symptomatic of the US Government currently.

Incompetent I would say. There are some lies being told across the battlefield but there again what is new?

If Trump parted this world how long would MAGA last. Months or possibly a year. When the leader of the Iran regime is killed how long will the regime last. Years possibly decades. Trump doesn’t understand that you have to win hearts and minds and in that he has made no attempt at any level anywhere

The US is rapidly burning through its stockpile of Patriot (PAC2/PAC-3) missiles by using the $4 million missiles to shoot down $20,000 Iranian drones or $50,000 Iranian missiles. Up to 11 Patriots have been fired at a single incoming target.

Arms suppliers love this war.

If that is possible then you might think the loss of lives and the disruption that he will cause the world may not be worth it. But so what Trump will say. I don’t care about people being killed.

Noem either is not on top of her brief or has extreme amnesia. Either way she is unfit for her Office or any Office.

Ukrainian forces have broken through Russian positions north of the main stronghold & Russian defenses are falling apart, allowing even deeper penetration by Ukrainian forces.

I think Trump is a paid pitchman who will say whatever he is scripted to say for a price. πŸ€”

This would explain why he can’t explain conflicting information. He really doesn’t have a position one way or the other. His motivation is solely financial.

If only there was something going on in the world that suggested generating our own energy rather than importing hydrocarbons to burn was a more resilient choice.

More than half of Reform UK members believe non-white British citizens born abroad should be deported or encouraged to leave.
No different to the old BNP or National Front voters.

Very obviously but if you said this ten years ago, you got wall-to-wall screaming and finger-pointing for being divisive, insulting, ideologically purist and tribalistic. But it was plainly horrible National Front stuff then, just as it is now.

This is the result of Trump’s careful planning which he put off until it was all over in 3 days. That is reminiscent of another dictator a while back. Hopefully it will not result in the same level of casualties.

Trump- Each day I run somebody over and leap out of my car full of bullshit and sell them very reasonably priced health cover without asking if they are OK. I am such a good guy, a saviour and almost godly. I think that my actions deserve a Nobel Prize for humanity.

Britain has the opportunity to watch Trump and see the damage he causes to his country. Surely his protΓ©gΓ© Farage will not be allowed the same opportunity. All the signs are that Farage et al will follow the Trump play book. Let’s stop them here and now.

He is the JR of politics. His come-uppance is however inevitable.

Trump in criticising Starmer and comparing him to Churchill shows how vacuous he and his cohorts are (I don’t believe that Trump came up with that) At any time anyone stands up to him he lashes out. He did it with Zelensky. He embarrasses himself and the US. The bully will be faced up at some time.

What an attitude by Noem. Doesn’t know her job, doesn’t know the Law, doesn’t know basic civility doesn’t have any empathy - not even for her dog.

Farage wants to be Britain’s Trump. The problem is that Farage is not as inherently stupid as Trump but still manages to appear as stupid without the excuse.
