Maduro will be fine...

Trump pardoned and released former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández from a U.S. prison in December 2025. Hernández had been serving a 45-year sentence for drug trafficking and weapons charges.

What a strange time we live in.

Anyone watching Trump and the big oilers speaking now? It’s kinda wild. They’ve just helped themselves to 50 million barrels of venezuelas oil and are laughing about all the tax write offs and how they’re all going to do so well.

Trump/America have been absolute insane over the last few days. Almost too much to get your head around between Venezuela and shooting citizens and lying about it.

The whole story about the VP of Venezuela working with Trump since April to oust Maduro and setting the whole thing up is insane.Regime change my arse

I spend a serious amount of time int he US (so much the IRS has asked questions).. and I’m genuinely scared where the US is going.. our entire company is shifting planning to East, because we no longer have common ideals with the US. The world has changed beyond recognition and we still have a minimum of 3 years left before there’s any change in doctrine .. I envisage a federal Europe being the end result for us (and a European Army)

The world will be made up of just USA, Europe, Russia and China. Then again I think the EU is weak as piss and would have to partner with the USA.

Nail on head, as per.

Re. this Minnesota thing. At least as far as our coverage is going, the trees seems to be very much obscuring the wood.

An outrageously shocking thing has happened. A woman has been killed for absolutely no reason and the administration are bare faced lying about it. But all the media coverage seems to be about telling porkies and JD Vances tone (terrifying though those two things are).

Surely the bigger thing to be jumping up and down about is the fact that Trump has armed and given legal immunity to a bunch of rednecks, zealots and white supremacists to create a masked private extrajudicial army larger and better funded than Canada's actual army. They are currently nominally tasked with rounding up brown-looking people, which is abhorrent enough in itself but it's clearly only a matter of time before they get turned on any other group that displeases the great orange dictator. I believe the playbook order is socialists, trade unionists, journalists, teachers.

He'll have forgotten about it in a couple of days and will be after something else in the way a greedy child is never happy

Oh, that's embarrassing. For both of them.

I don’t know who is more pathetic in this case.

“Apparently”, trump will confirm Roswell was real in his speach to open the World Cup…
