Generalissimo Trump is what he has always desired.

What in the actual hell

NEW on CNN: In several old videos we found, Pete Hegseth blasted Trump in 2016 warning he could issue unlawful orders that troops should refuse, calling him an “armchair tough guy” with five draft deferments.

Now he’s attacking Democrats for saying same.

Justice Jackson nails it, but that this has to be spelled out is so depressing.

If you're in the White House press corps, still showing up to your job every day and not saying anything as Trump attacks your colleagues -- almost always women, I'd add -- then this is on you as well.

Congress to withhold Pentagon travel funds until it sees boat strike videos Lawmakers quietly stuck the requirement into their must-pass annual defense policy bill.

Is it too much to hope that Congress is regrowing some backbone? Baby steps here, but important ones. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

Wait, he's a Republican? Didn't think there were any left.

Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

And it's led a few UK universities to teach Traditional Chinese Medicine, as though it were real subject. Even Mao didn't believe it. www.dcscience.net/2009/03/30/t...

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED & STAY LOUD!!
🔥🔥🔥 DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN!!

TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Musk and Trump hate the EU for the same reasons Farage and Putin hate it. It stands for civil rights, the rule of law, and regulation of oligarchs

Trump's a symptom of an irredeemably depraved society.

This doesn't end when Trump ends, and it doesn't end well.

Yes. When Americans say that the now broken relationship with Canada will be healed when the current government is voted out, no. No it won’t. We have seen the true colours of too many Americans, and they are ugly. (I’m uninterested in “not all Americans”. You know who you are.)

“…Even if they are able to clean up his mess … elect a supremely sane president next, America will NEVER again be a trusted partner. Because there are enough Americans who would vote for him … (again).

I couldn't even say anything. She was right. The damage this has done is endless…”

Hegseth must resign or be impeached.

The orange felon insults yet another female reporter by calling CNN’s Kaitlan Collins “stupid and nasty” after she inquired about the price of his trashy dictator ballroom after it increased by another $100M.

This is what happens when you normalize a criminal for a decade.

The ‘Exciting Business Opportunity’ That Ruined Our Lives Amway sold my family a life built on delusion.

Fascinating story of the American Dream -being destituted by a cult-like business that promised the earth and delivered misery (and Trump).
www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

my great-grandparents arrived in the UK in the 1890s with nothing.
they sold pickles from the front room window, took in laundry, worked as tailors.
their children were nurses, teachers, salesmen.
their grandchildren were professors, designers, opticians, doctors, magistrates, entrepreneurs.

This will be remembered as the most pathetic moment in American history. What a needy fool.

I'm deeply concerned 24/7. How about you?

Good grief. Sky News Australia is full blown fascist. Quite unlike Sky News UK.

A screenshot of a social media post from a parody account styled as a governor’s press office. The post uses all caps and mocks a political figure by describing a fake award in exaggerated, insulting language. Below it is another post sharing a short video clip from a televised event at the Kennedy Center. In the video still a man in a suit is being given a large decorative medal by another man while cameras and a news chyron run along the bottom. The scene takes place on a stage with a blurred backdrop.

Trump is a malignant narcissist. And like all malignant narcissists, everything always has to be about HIM. If it isn't about him, then he won't take part in it and will probably attack it. But it's also true that his cravings can never be satisfied. Whatever he gets, he always wants more.
