And the US electorate then put him and the GOP back into power. Unforgivable.

Forget diplomatic niceties: it's beyond time Europe denounced Trump's trashing of democracy in the US | Paul Taylor The convention to stay out of alliesโ€™ internal affairs does not apply. What happens in America does not stay in America, says Paul Taylor of the European Policy Centre

Dream on. Several (Orban etc) are from the same mould and up his backside, and the remainder (Starmer? pleaseโ€ฆ) donโ€™t have the guts. Not a single one.

Donald Trump has built a regime of retribution and reward | Sidney Blumenthal The presidentโ€™s purges and attacks on his enemies have developed into a system in which injustice is made routine

A superb if profoundly depressing essay. The six conservatives on the SCOTUS deserve to burn in the furnaces of hell for what they did in July 2024.

The AI video from Trump showing him dumping s**t on protesters is really something else - beyond the beyond. If a high school student did this sort of thing you'd be calling for psychiatric referral. Lionel Shriver must be in the corner taking notes for an apocalyptic sequelโ€ฆ

Not to praise Hitler, but that might require a measure of integrity, honour, self-awareness, humility, courage, and/or not a little sense of guilt.
No, I canโ€™t see it either.

Scrutiny grows over Trump competence โ€“ but can an unfit president be removed? Impeachment and 25th amendment offer routes for removal โ€“ but experts say system is set up to protect the president

Zero chance, given this shower of partisans, cowards and sycophants. Squeaker Johnsonโ€™s final retort is as revealing as it pathetic (even by his standards).

Of course. This capricious and contemptible excuse for a โ€˜leaderโ€™ is preparing to shaft Ukraine again and is surprised that Zelenskyy isnโ€™t playing ball and rolling over at the prospect of rewarding Putinโ€™s aggression. It is to be hoped (ha!) that European leaders possess a backbone.

And now they appear to have a successor in the form of Fetterman. One day the GOP will erect statues of all of them for their service.

โ€˜The worst of all timeโ€™: Trump rails against โ€˜super badโ€™ Time magazine cover Despite the glowing story, the cover earned the ire of the US president with criticism of his appearance

Well, it made him look like the old man he patently is. This is an evil politician, who got away with mocking a disabled reporter in 2015. To his, and enough of the US electorateโ€™s (3 x times), eternal shame. So; F**k his feelings. And f**k them and theirs.
