Finally recognising Palestine is a debt of honour long overdue that will not create a state unless we back words with actions.

Karoline Leavitt Redefines What Counts as a Judge’s Order Trump’s press secretary says he never violated court orders with his deportationsβ€”because only certain judges’ orders count.

Reporter: β€œWhat about the verbal order, which of course carries the same legal weight as a written order?”

Leavitt: β€œWell there’s actually questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight as a…written order, and our lawyers are determined to ask and answer those questions in court.”

This is a political cartoon set in the Oval Office, depicting three figures in a satirical manner. A large figure, wearing a black outfit with a Ukrainian trident symbol on the chest, is seated with hands clasped, dominating the frame. To the right, a much smaller caricature of Donald Trump sits on a chair with an exaggerated orange face, crossed arms, and a long red tie dragging on the floor. Next to him, an even smaller figure, seemingly representing J.D. Vance, is angrily pointing upward and saying, "MY PRESIDENT DEMANDS YOU LOOK UP TO HIM!" The background features a decorated fireplace and various trophies, with a partially visible American flag labeled "CORRUPT." The cartoon exaggerates the contrast between the figures' sizes to highlight power dynamics.

I keep thinking, what kind of dirt do the russians (and other US enemies) have on Trump? ...that he is working against the US

Trump is falling apart before our eyes because the TRUE PLACE of the United States is NOT ON THE SIDE OF EVIL

Great report, Jesse @dollemore.com

He didn't appoint his horse as consul. That is a myth.

Suetonius notes that Caligula planned to make Incitatus a consul, though this remained a rumor or a joke rather than a reality.

Citations, please. The older the document, the better. As I said, all of the earliest citations I can find reference the boots while young nickname from when he was in the field with his father.

Citation: Suetonius, "The Lives of The Twelve Caesars", chapter: The Life of Caligula.

You clearly haven't experienced creole or other American languages.

Remember: America has no formal national language. Believing that it ever did is a fallacy. What it has is a de facto default language because most of the people in the original colonies, and all of the founders, spoke English.

Using which definition of fascist - certainly not the one used by Benito Mussolini and the Italian Fascistii (sp.?) from which the modern fascist movements seem derived.

Fascism prioritizes the nation over the individual, who exists to serve the nation, the opposite of the founding fathers design.

Also, many of the "wild stories" about him are reported by the non-jewish historian Suetonius. Although some stories, like the tale of his horse being appointed as a consul, have been invented (probably because he once said he wanted to make Incitatus a consul), others appear to be true.

Man, can you get your facts straight, or at least validate things with sources.

The vast majority of sources, possibly all contemporary or semi-contemporary sources, agree that the name Caligula was given to him as a youth by soldiers when he was in the field with his father.
