Trump is acting like someone who a doctor has told he has 6 months to live. That would explain why he's acting like there is no tomorrow..

Scorched earth policy.

Heโ€™s determined to leave nothing behind when the world catches up with and incarcerates him.

I suspect many leaders and business people believe there is no long term future and are determined to live to excess now, while they still can. There is no profit in looking to the far future.

Does Trump realise that thereโ€™s no point going down in history if thereโ€™s no one left to read it?

Sultana used to sound sane. Did she get a kick in the head from the same horse that dealt that Farage phone-in star a change of course?

They have to deflect the blame away from Trump cos they donโ€™t want to hurt his eggshell feelings: god knows what heโ€™ll do now that heโ€™s bored with the Middle East (itโ€™s been nearly a full week: for him, thatโ€™s an amazing attention span) and needs a new distraction from the Trump-Epstein files.

UK โ€˜took far too longโ€™ to let US use its airbases to attack Iran, Trump says US president also โ€˜very disappointedโ€™ in Keir Starmer over UK governmentโ€™s deal to hand Chagos Islands to Mauritius

America: PLEASE remove this Grade A abomination, for the sake of US/UK relations & for the sake of our planetโ€™s shame. Heโ€™s a grotesque, vulgar, inhumane bag of effluent with fewer redeeming features that a burst bag of mouldy, fly-infested rat shit floating in a treatment tank of mule vomit ๐Ÿคฎ

A dead shrew that had been trapped inside the Coca-Cola can

No one means to kill wildlife, please don't leave your drinks cans lying around.
I litter picked this can today. Shook to empty and discovered this shrew inside. It had crawled in and couldn't get out. Died exhausted or drowned.
What an awful terrifying way to die ๐Ÿ˜ช

Putin held a phone call with King King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa of Bahrain discussing โ€œunprecedented escalation around Iranโ€; said Russia ready to use โ€œall available means to stabilise the situation in the region,โ€ Russian state news agency TASS reported.

Joy.

Two questions:

Will Trump do for the people of Ukraine what he believes heโ€™s just done for the people of Iran?

And why wonโ€™t he?

Trump says Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead after US-Israeli strikes Trump describes Khamenei as

โ€œKhamenei, one of the most evil people in History, is dead,โ€ says Trump.

I bet Khamenei wasnโ€™t in the Epstein-Trump Files. Nor any of the dozens of people whoโ€™ve already died in his latest distraction.

Always liked Greens, but usually vote Labour as it seems the most effective use of my vote.
Delighted they won this by-election but theyโ€™ve a way to go yet, esp on defence; Iโ€™m not yet convinced by charismatic Polanskiโ€™s smart-arse persona.
And with Putin still on the move, Iโ€™m not comfortable.

โ€œFeared on the world stage because of President Trumpโ€ฆโ€

Surely better to be โ€œadmiredโ€, โ€œlovedโ€, respectedโ€, โ€œlooked up toโ€, โ€œadoredโ€โ€ฆ

But โ€œfearedโ€ is his bag.

He could just as credibly said โ€œreviledโ€, โ€œmockedโ€, โ€œloathedโ€โ€ฆ
