Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, but who on earth would give it to a man who was responsible for thousands of Palatinian deaths by supplying arms to Israel, whose vaunted Cambodia/ Thailand war deal has re-erupted, whose Congo plan has failed as well, and sucking up to Putin, the aggressor, stinks

I just wonder what goes on in Trumps head? How on earth can he agree with the aggressor, Russia, and not even discuss his crappy end of the Ukrainian war with Ukraine. It's a repeat of the Neville Chamberlain appeasal of Hitler in Munich in 1936. At least all of Europe is with Ukraine if not Trump.

Ukraine war: Trump says Ukraine ungrateful as officials meet to convince Kyiv to accept peace proposals Ukraine's allies have expressed concern that the plan favours Russia, but Zelensky says Kyiv's interests could be included.

Trump is without doubt a total clown and a nasty piece of something you stepped in but wished you hadn't. He is clueless and frankly deranged.

Video. Donald Trump says US plan to end Ukraine war not 'final offer' for Kyiv Video. Speaking to reporters at the White House on Saturday, Trump said the US proposal on Russia’s war in Ukraine was not his β€œfinal offer.” Ukrainian allies earlier voiced concern over the proposal...

That has to be the fastest U turn by Trump in history, so much for his 28-point capitulation to Putin.

Rubio insists peace plan is by US amid claim it is Russia's wish list The White House said that Rubio and Trump envoy Steve Witkoff worked on the widely leaked 28-point US-backed peace proposal for a month, with participation from both Russians and Ukrainians.

What thus demonstrates is Trump and his bunch of clowns have no idea about foreign policy or what they do, apart from sucking up to an indicted war criminal by a convicted criminal and sex pest/rapist

The Murky Plan That Ensures a Future War Who will benefit from the White House’s 28-point proposal for Ukraine?

*Anne Applebaum* (AA) nails it exactly, as usual.
*Read this article* ; the deal is SO imbalanced, that Ukraine (& Europe) are left completely high and dry, and on the other side Russia (& US) remain firmly on the ground.

Sadly, most people that I have met who claim to be christians have zero idea of what the principals of Christianity is about. But that pre supposes that they all follow a God that doesn't exist and Jesus, who did, but was a mere prophet.

Perhaps if Labour stopped trying to emulate the Torys, who changed leader 4 times, and got behind Starmer, all this nonsensical talk would stop.

Yet another example of a halfwit appointed way beyond his ability, but is true for 90% of Trumps appointments probably because he wants people with baggage as they won't disagree with the convicted criminal and rapist in the White House.

There is a distinct difference between tax avoidance, which is legal, and tax evasion, which is illegal, to club them together to try and make a point is disingenuous.

Hey Trump! So you're "the dog that didn't bark", according to Epstein. You knew and you've been outed!

That's gotta sting.

"You feel that sting, fat boy?

Trump sent men to torture in El Salvador, report confirms Human Rights Watch found that Venezuelans shipped to El Salvador by the United States were beaten almost every day.

Beatings. Sexual assault. Psychological abuse.

These are some of the horrors endured by the more than 250 men the US sent to El Salvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership, according to a new comprehensive report.

A convicted felon who had also been found liable for sexual assault and committed additional crimes in plain sight was close with a notorious child sex trafficker and likely participated in some of those crimes too got elected with much of that known and spent his presidency railing against β€œcrime.”
