Do Americans ever reflect on the confusion (maybe derision is a more appropriate word) when Trump & Hegseth refer to US Army personnel as 'heroes', 'brave', 'patriots' etc ....... for blowing up (and murdering) defenceless & non-threatening seacrafts/humans with state-of-the-art weaponry. Really?

Trumps & his Cabinet personnel are so corrupt, compulsive liers and are so profoundly stupid, it is only a matter of time before new/regular legally indictable scandals will spread out of control. It would be lovely to close out 2025 with a diet of chaos

IF Trump is too big a scalp for International Criminal Court to chase over the murder of so many (potentially innocent but never the less entitled to 'legal due process') humans off the coast of Venezuela, then surely Pete Hegseth warrants a less difficult path to justice?

There is probably no more appropriate Christmas or Holiday song that was made for what so many American's must be suffering this year than 'Fairytale of New York' by the Pogues. But there is a message or tone of hope in there as well. So concentrate on that.

Hegseth SCREWED as BOMBSHELL REPORT Exposes CRIMINAL ORDERS?!?
YouTube video by Legal AF Hegseth SCREWED as BOMBSHELL REPORT Exposes CRIMINAL ORDERS?!?

It is time for The Hague or Global Leaders to intervene in this completely unprovoked murder in international waters & now the US Admin declaring a no-fly zone over the Sovereign nation of Venezuela. A country nearly 2000 miles from the USA

youtu.be/C4e36ej0Ru4?... WHY are World Leaders not holding the USA to account over its actions against Venezuela. IF Russia any other country in the world initiated a war crime initiative like this, action would be immediate

My reference to International Leaders getting involved has NOTHING to do with what happens in the USA. What goes on in the US is, as you say, your business. BUT international waters are NOT owned by the USA. Particularly waters nearly 2,000 miles away. Murder of people w/o right or evidence = Crime

Shirley are you just responding from the same vacuum that so many Americans do?I am NOT talking about the (deeply broken) INTERNAL workings of the USA.So please open your mind to the murders being executed by YOUR leader & military against boats in International waters of Venezuela(2k miles from US)

I am completely fatigued & appalled with how 35% of Americans tolerate/think Trump is an appropriate or right person to be President. However, it would be nice if other International Leaders stepped up to control this Turd. War Crime indictment perhaps against him or Hegseth, if Trump is 'awkward' !

Yes I know the First Amendment but there are certain aspects of journalistic/media presentation or omission which are not protected ..... eg how Fox got sued for US$ 800m.

There shoule be some person appointed within the DNC to coordinate legal challenges every time Fox mispresents, lies, or remains silent on DT's obvious legal sins? HOW are they permitted, even with free-speech/journalistic license, to pedal mistruths while DT can sue for baseless legal sneezes

15.11.2025 16:01 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 3    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Given the success Trump has had in suing Media organizations for the most frivolous of actions, should the Democrats not be warning to hold these organizations for complicity in not exposing/challenging the lies of DT, the negative/misrepresentation bias of Fox & the legal attacks on DT's enemies

I am currently in Sydney & the hotel is full of US Morman's. From Utah, as they loudly declare to everybody within their path in the hotel. One comment which we overheard & required an 'intervention' from me was 'Do you know WE/America are the MOST RESPECTED country on Earth'. Delusional people

So once again the Democrats capitulate to their even sicker rivals, the Republicans. At the end of a week when the message from the American people was a resounding NO to Trump, these 'paper-morans' decide to once again prove to the American voter, they are not to be trusted. Pathetic

The negative international reputational damage which Trump is inflicting on the USA will be exceptionally difficult to repair after this cancer is extinguished. IF Americans (& their Institutions) can so easily give this vomit-faced moran such extensive powers, then let us all sit & watch the rot

WTF America. WHAT are you doing? The Orange Thug has hosted hugely expensive consecutive weekend parties at Mar-a-Lago, and there is no widespread outrage across the country? He does NOT care about YOU. He makes healthcare more expensive, gives $40 bn to Argentina, denies SNAP to his people etc. WOW

I was, and continue to be, shocked by the lack of coverage in US Media of the murder of so many human beings (whether they be criminals or,more likely,not) in international waters off the coast of Venezuela. I am even more outraged by the lack of response of international leaders to these war crimes

PLEASE Democrats, STOP being nice. Play to the same rules (however awful) as your Opposition. DON'T be distracted by the 'noise' of WH destruction. Concentrate on Cost of Living, ICE, Constitutional/Oversight Breaches, Tariffs, US isolationism, Republican complicitness & Trump's declining health

Every time I see Trump's approval ratings above 30%, I think America deserves him to represent it. Such a statistic suggests over 75 million American voters want him as their leader. I am sorry, but that is an atrocious indictment of the US. Time for the rest of the World to leave you to sort it out

Most Americans don't care BUT international respect for the US, its President, his entire circus of sychophants, the US Media (& its embarrassingly overpaid anchors) & the tech/Wall St/other billionaires, is in flames. Power & money definitely corrupt & cause the death of human decency. RIP USA

WHY are world leaders acting as though they are an extension of the US media - existing only 2 flatter, pamper & portray this monolithic narcissist as a gift from God.The complete lack of accountability with which this decaying man can murder alleged drug mules off the Venezuelan coast is sickening

IF US inflation is falling. IF employment is booming. IF the economy is booming. IF tariffs are yielding sovereign wealth beyond anything ever achieved before. IF all this is added to the other economic wins by Trump, then WHY does Trump pressure the Fed to reduce interest rates?

Please tell me that US Dems will hold many in Trumps Cabinet criminally accountable for their crimes. I am numb to the destruction these sychophants are inflicting on Americans, but WHY are there no objections 2 the unlawful murder of innocents off the Venezuelan coast?Nearly 2k miles away from US

As the US accelerates towards authoritarianism, maybe most Americans should reflect on what happens to the average citizen in authoritarian regimes. What happens to wealth per capita, education, healthcare, utility prices, the gap between rich/powerful & poverty/muck? Look at North vs South Korea

Sovereign financial science determines a country's GDP is a core measure of its economic health. It comprises domestic consumption & export volumes. As US exporters become the most expensive mft's on the Planet, the export component of GDP will decline. Thus debt to GDP will suffer a double whammy

Do American's understand the end result of import taxes/tariffs, global US alienation,domestic company/employment closures/redundancies/disruptions, increasing national debt, ICE costs, raw materials price dislocation etc, will make the US THE MOST expensive mft country in the world.No tears please

Last week the US tasted some of the major pain associated with the $2 trillion private credit/shadow banking cesspool.Greater wealth carnage lies ahead.The naked (credit) swimmers are the cockroaches who will trigger the latest credit event which will destroy asset valuations & liquidity in the USA

While I am very impressed by the many millions of Americans who participated in yesterday's No Kings rallies, there is a part of me which screams, 'Do Americans not understand the speed at which the USA is becoming an authoritarian, trust & financially bankrupt, globally-isolated etc country'?

Of all the pathetic sychophantic doormats who travel on the DT autocratic tour, #timscott has to be the MOST embarrassing. What a weak,brainless,gormless idiot this excuse for a man is. Holding top spot among all the many clowns,whose reason for living is to pay daily homage to the hate-filled baby
