Donald I, emperor of the world.

[Pinno718]

Can't disagree, but that's half an hour of your life you will never get back I'm afraid. (Unless you were dictating, in which case 15 minutes)

I preferred your Campag delta brakes avatar, by the way.

Mislaid the original pic.

The BBB hits a wall whilst a Fox News poll says 59% of those polled oppose the Bill.

Should we be changing the thread title to "Daddy, Emporer of the world" given how NATO's Secretary General is now calling Trumpton "Daddy". Pathetic, words fail me.

Maybe he forgot they were no longer in the bedroom.

Trump is hailing a new win in the Supreme Court. Which gives him greater powers.
The 6/3 split was completely down partisan lines.
The problem going forward is that these new powers will apply equally to a Democratic President. So all these new powers being given to Trump may well come back to bite in the next presidential race.
Removing checks and balances is never a good move. They are usually there for a reason.

Democrat playbook hasn't changed so much, except maybe they've become more crazy

You are assuming that there will be further elections.

It was a local hidge trying to override executive presidential powers.

So Trump has assessed the evidence (not yet presented to the Jury) and made a judgement on the case

Trump calls for Netanyahu corruption trial to be cancelled
Benjamin Netanyahu has thanked Donald Trump after the US president publicly called for the Israeli prime minister’s long-running corruption trial to be cancelled.

Trump on Wednesday posted a lengthy diatribe against the trial, which could lead to a prison sentence for his ally, describing a “ridiculous witch hunt” that was an “unheard of … horror show” and showering praise on Netanyahu ...

Think of all the money that could be saved without all thus useless court infrastructure, high paid judges, lawyers, etc. just leave the decision to Trumpton and justice served ... it would be interesting to see if Trump has any justification beyond "he's my friend (today) so should be above scrutiny". what sort of world do these people want us to live in, rule of "best mates" rather than any sort of "laws".

'Anti US'? I mean, wtaf? The journalists at the press conference have been reporting wars and security issues for years and years and are seasoned in their field. Far longer than Hegseth. Jennifer Griffin, the highly respected journalist asked a simple question over the actual extent of the Iran bombings and Hegseth responded with a personal attack. He resorted to a personal attack because the claims of 'obliteration' are false. Trump immediately got on his media platform to diss CNN and the journalist in question. This is a sure sign that the administration failed to spin that sh*t and Trump was made to look like the liar he is which was embarrassing to him and his ego. So he resorted to further personal attacks.

@MAGA troll: It is plainly obvious that you are blind to Trumps corruption, his lies, his assembly of a congregation of malicious and incompetent individuals. Respond to the pregnant woman detained by ICE and who was given no pre natal care and ended up delivering her own baby which was still born. That account is brutal. Absolutely brutal. That's the sort of thing that happens under malevolent regimes, not the USA - 'leader of the free world'. I bet she would have had care if she was white. What about the estimated 16m people who will have there Medicaid* cut through the 'big beautiful bill'. What do you think of billionaires getting tax breaks? What do you think of war veterans not being able to access pensions and welfare to which they are entitled to? What do you think of the clause in the bill which basically facilitates no regulation of AI and personal data for 10 years? What do you think of deporting people without due process? What do you think of beating up an alleged 'illegal' who was a humble landscaper, father of 3 US marines? What do you think of masked, un-identified individuals simply abducting people because they look a bit different? International rules state that in a case of deportation, they should be deported back to their country of origin. What the Trump administration is doing is a contravention of human rights on may levels including the USA's own constitution.
Do you understand the Christian Nationalist agenda, what they represent and what they espouse? Do you understand the depth of the misogyny and racism and the inherent link with far right groups within the Christian Nationalist movement? This is factual, not leftie bollox. You do not have to be a woolly liberal to oppose the evangelist movement and their innate fascism. If you do not see their fascistic behaviour and the rolling out of the intrinsically linked Project 2025, then you really are dumb.
You are either morally lacking or a troll. Which one is it?

*Imagine if I said to you that you or your family may no longer access free healthcare under the NHS? You live here under that umbrella, so be careful what you say.

I admire your optimism if you think he has either the intelligence or ability to read through this and understand, never mind respond sensibly to the points raised.
Better to leave him mindlessly trawling through the sites his browser algorithms throw at him for quotes he gleefully serves up as some kind of killer gotcha.
At least it keeps him amused and out of real mischief.

Trump is adored even by press

USA suspends trade negotiations with Canada, due to digital services tax in US companies.

That should concentrate the new PMs mind

 

[Pblakeney]

Now he has finished his attempt at a peace prize it is time to get back to tariffs.

"US President Donald Trump has said he is cutting off trade talks with Canada "immediately" as the country looks to start enforcing a tax policy targeting big tech companies."

 

[CXRAndy]

Trump did say USA first on his campaigning
