Fascist is as fascist does

There's nothing as dangerous as a weak man given the opportunity to play the strong man for a while.

but look at the reality on the ground in Portland before and after Trump's military intervention .

Or maybe that's back to front

*Apologies to Mariupol, Ukraine - which Trump tried to extort back in the day.

Just in... shocking scene from war-torn Portland. Liberals pretending all is well while death and destruction surround them. Trump's military response won't be a day too soon.

It's not dementia.

Trump is profoundly,deeply, irretrievably ignorant.

He has Malignant Narcissistic personality disorder.

Putin owns him

He's drugged to hell and back

but...

He has more power than any other human alive.

So here we are.

U.K. is killing it..
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

There are very few honourable options for the press pack now.

1. Boycott in solidarity with ABC

2. Turn up and all ask the same question

3. Work as a pack,follow up relentlessly on this issue

4. Stage a protest when Trump starts to insult any one of them.

Acceptance is surrender

The view from Europe is that Putin runs Trump so analysis of his 'strategy' is pointless.

Putin, post- USSR, is as dangerous as corporal Hitler was after WW1. He wants revenge for Russia's humiliation & is breaking the US with skill and ruthlessness.

Rainbow above Dublin from Cruagh Wood this afternoon. A forest walk in the rain and wind was just what was needed after the week that was. And breathe...

Starmer:

We're in the most awful hole but we're going to keep digging .

We will also seek ever closer ties with the people outside the hole who have tried to stop us digging. We look forward to signing new agreements with them which will ensure a supply of new shovels into the future.

That's so like me and my old pals having our retired guys lazy lunch a few days ago! Chilled and absolutely fresh out of Fs to give.

Bullets market 'TRN' are military training rounds not transgender or transvestite bullets

"Classification System: Ammunition marking, including designations like TRN, forms a part of a comprehensive system used by the military to classify and account for ammunition"

I swear by the powers that be...

walk into any bar in a remote corner of Europe and you'll find a fella nursing his fifth drink who will be able to explain to you that the president and vice president of America don't have a clue how their constitution works.

What a time to be alive

That's when he discovered it was a hoax! It all makes sense now. Time for a USAF fly-by to celebrate

Subtract the ICE hires and the internal sycophantic massaging and you end up with the square root of SFA.

Coming next: The Hyundai effect

So we're back to 'natural' healing?

Good luck everyone

Some of the politicians & media pundits who fell into the Brexit black hole thought that it would crack the EU wide open and Britain, 'free from the shackles' would not just agree rules-free trade deals with individual EU countries but re- shape the new Europe.

The EU did not blink.

When you recall that Russia is writing US policy ( carefully covert, but deadly like a sniper) and ask why JFK Jr is doing what he's doing, it's because a diseased nation, with no defence vs biological warfare is the goal.

Maybe that's the result of Putin's vice-grip handshake?

Vlad is a judo expert.

Donald is a wet noodle

His boss came to Alaska in true mafioso style to show who's boss - which Trump acknowledged publicly.

Capo di tutti i capi

That's gotta hurt

Putin's team searching TEMU for replacement deep hydrocarbon processing cryogenic units.

The White House is beginning to look like a side-show auction room on the Atlantic City boardwalk.

Run by the mob of course.

Where the worn out guys from NYC get their last shot at a hustle. Oily, sweaty, respectably suited and booted and up for anything to prove they've still got it.

It's almost as if a hostile foreign nation,seeing food security as a power lever ( Ukrainian grain /Africa) is trying to break American agriculture.

Hunger in the USA

But surely they couldn't find someone in the US Govt who would help them to carry off such an audacious plan?

'Putin cannot be trusted'

Russia cannot be trusted.

Ukraine knows this better than anyone.

Putin: Donald tovarich , I am knowing how Epstein tapes keepink you awake. Not surprised, my copies are big hit in Kremlin.

Wait until world sees Moscow tapes - not even Epstein doing those things.

( awkward silence)

Anyway, Ukraine...we now have same position, niet?

We're wasting our time trying to decipher high-level diplomacy in this Alaskan encounter.

Putin owns Trump and came to give him his orders for the next phase.

Their performative contretemps is filling the media space, as expected.

The closed door meeting is where the business was done.

Exactly the thing to do. And be extra nice and smiley to the police and national guard as fellow Americans not as the enemies Trump wants to create and leverage.

Let the open hand cover the closed fist.

Happiness is a revolutionary act in the age of Trump

Take a close look at this photo.

This is Grozny, the capital of Chechnya. In 1999, it was reduced to rubble by russian forces — just three years after russia signed a peace treaty with Chechnya.
