Again, at what point does someone just take him out the back of the shed and Old Yeller the senile cunt?

K-K-Karoline is doing her best to get ratio'd on Xitter by claiming that Trump didn't say Iceland 3 times, and that he's just referring to the fact that Greenland is mostly Ice.

Oh, so he's not stupid, he just understands the world in a way that would be considered "requiring specialist educational intervention" for an eight year old?

Does she realise that is actually *worse* than him mixing them up?

She does realise that, right?

The same woman who argued with reporters about Americans paying tariffs, not the sending country. "I can't believe you're questioning my understanding of how tariffs work".

I heard a lovely fact on a podcast this morning. The last territory which Denmark transferred to the USA was a group of islands known as the Danish West Indies in 1917. Their name was changed to the US Virgin Islands. One of those islands is Little St James Island. Also known more recently as Epstein Island.

This ties into deeper problems with the US 'experiement' which is that there's billions in political funding, entirely editorialised """"news"""" and everyone in that chain up to and including politicians and their representatives can openly lie with no chance of repercussions.

TBH I don't think things should be getting back to remotely normal with the rest of the world without serious changes to the USs political ecosystem. They allowed an openly fascist, racist, adjudicated rapist who's been repeatedly credibly accused of noncery to stand for election; they just can't do that any more, and no-one should be treating them as a remotely normal political or economic partner till they tear that system apart and rebuild it from scratch, with serious safeguards in place.

Large swathes of their population obviously can't be trusted to take this shit seriously, and it's not just them who it impacts. We should treat the whole country like a failed state unless they fix it, even if they elect the most progressive, friendly, and apologetic government in next time.

They have got to sort their shit out. "Anyone can be president" has to end.

Oh, and Trumps latest grift - the Peace Board with the $1bn entry fee - is now being used to threaten tariffs if people don't join.

At what point do the rest of the world just start dropping white phosphorous on these obvious gangsters?

Trump has also taken offence at France's reluctance to join a proposed Board of Peace, a new international organisation that he would lead. Paris has voiced concern over its impact on the role of the United Nations.
When asked about Macron's stance on the Board of Peace, Trump said late on Monday: "I'll put a 200% tariff on his wines and champagnes, and he'll join, but he doesn't have to join."

Ha! I knew about the transfer of the Danish West Indies, as it's the Appendix to that agreement that saw the US formal cede any opposition to Denmark taking control of the entirety of Greenland. But didn't know that about Little St. James Island.

It’s finally taking him insulting our servicemen who got dragged into americas war for ‘holding back from the frontline a bit’ for British media to finally start calling out his offensive lies.

Especially rich coming from a serial draft dodger.

It's OK, they'll be back to sanewashing his bollocks - like the obvious grift of his board of peace - next week.

So was the whole Greenland thing just another insider trading scam like the first round of tariffs?

I would love to think Mark Rutte took Trump into the back room and showed him the big stick he was about to get walloped with, but short of threatening to share the Putin dossier or a signed letter from all the US generals, I can't imagine what that could be.

So we're left with the explanation that it was just another tuppenny-haypenny con.

It's like looking at the Mar-a-largo classified documents thing and realising it's not about the sensitivity of the documents, he's stealing the fucking paperclips.

And I wonder if his NATO staying back from the from line comments will have a serious impact on support from his own troops.

Firstly, a lot of them served in Afghanistan alongside NATO troops, and know the truth. And certainly from what I know, there is a lot of goodwill from the Americans guys towards the British guys stationed there.

Secondly, shitting on fallen soldiers, of *any* stripes, is an absolute and total red line to any soldier's mindset. And understandably. If you are potentially going to lay down your life for a cause, there can't be even the slightest glimmer of a possibility that you will be remembered as anything less than an exulted hero. The possibility that your own commander in chief *might* just decide that you were a coward or a traitor posthumously, for the sake of a convenient soundbite, might make you think twice about just how committed you are to the cause.

Wasn't enough backlash five years ago to keep the disgusting sack of crap out of office.

The seeds may have already been sewn.

I heard that Trump and Hegseth were ready to send troops to Greenland a week ago, and were told "no fucking way" by even the stooges they've put in place of generals

PMSL


It’s kinda unfortunate that we’re living in the crazy parallel universe. Wonder what the normal one is like

Bored of Peace, who the fuck thought that was a good name? Even the abbreviation has shitty connotations.

Watching Legal Eagles's video on the the execution of Alex Pretti was incredibly sad. The administration seems to think they can make 1984 a reality this year.

It's fucking insane what's happening in the US

ICE is basically a nascent SS/private army, they have full permission and support from the government to do basically as they please

The government are bare-faced lying about what is happening (i.e. their "interpretation" of events that are on video and provably different to how they're being described)

They are above the law, and being directed to enforce political goals

With camera phones and social media, we can see events in real time and make our own minds up, which makes the lying even more unbelievable, plus we should learn from history.

No surprise that tourism has taken a nose dive.

Yup, watched that last night. It was certainly a hard watch. Particularly if you've been a long time watcher of his videos you'll remember how he said this second trump administration would be incredibly bad as all the guard rails were off.

Can we now please skip forward to the part where trump offs himself with a pistol in his bunker?
