Don't take it so seriously.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has found himself in the middle of Trump’s crackdown on immigration as his legal battles highlight the new deportation policies the administration has sought to use.
The realities of modern America have obviously passed trump bye. America has a shrinking birth rate and the lowest life expectancy in the developed world. The results of this phenomenon can be seen in China and Japan. By depopulating the country of tax paying workers trump is storing up trouble!
More than 200 people have been killed and at least 500 injured in Dewagal Valley, eastern Afghanistan, the UNDP says, as its teams reach one of the worst-hit areas. 🟡 LIVE updates ⤵️ buff.ly/pYm3Kqh
In Afghanistan they don't check the pulse to decide if you should be rescued... they check your sex. Men and men first second and third.
Bessent expects Supreme Court to uphold legality of Trump's tariffs but eyes Plan B reut.rs/4gn6s01
Of course he does. The Supreme Court of the United States is possibly at least as corrupt as the worst examples in Russia, Zimbabwe or other banana Republics. Unlike other modern democracies where judges achieve their position on the basis of their knowledge of the law. in US it's just how you vote!
Patiently waiting for the press conference this Wednesday.
Men I understand, but what I don't understand is why, knowing trump is a misogynist, rapist, molester and paedophile, did so many women vote for him? And what sort of person do you have to be to actually work with him? Is this what they look for in an ideal president of the United States?
Sorry, not according to a falconer I know.
Living independently has become increasingly difficult as people live longer, often with chronic conditions, and family members aren’t around to help.
Actually the latest figures show that America has a SHRINKING life expectancy, unique in the developed world! And a slowing birth rate. Hence the need for immigration!
Turkey's Erdogan tells Iran's Pazeshkian that continuing nuclear talks useful reut.rs/4mHkqvP
This collection of dictators, theocrats & just plain nutters presently meeting in China have attained a previously unlikely level of respect& authority. In the face of trumps ridiculous taxes and megalomaniac attitude to the law and the constitution, former enemies are about to become best friends!
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, denied claims that Russia jammed the GPS system onboard European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's jet.
And of course being a Kremlin spokesman his honesty is undoubted!😆
That's a distinct little pattern right there
To many people America has always been a much too dangerous place to visit. Anywhere that has more guns than inhabitants is a warning sign. Now due to the anti-vax brigade America has reintroduced contagious diseases to kill your children, & untrained thugs armed to the teeth wandering the streets.
Hilarious reading about trump claiming to have stopped a thousand year old war between Pakistan and India. Despite the fact Pakistan has only existed since 1947.
Vance will become President because Trump does not have three years left in him. Vance is inevitable. We cross one bridge at a time. We don't sit and refuse to go forward just because one bridge is worse than the previous. We need to cross both of them.
True, so true. And of course the third alternative, Johnson, is even creepier than beardy. Desperate times!
Reckon they split down the middle. Blue vs red but it's house to house rather than state vs state. Global recession as the blue states pay for the red in the large. Bot farms and drone wars and last billionaire out get the lights - ggs, as the gamers say.
USA is hampered by a two party dictatorship, unlike the rest of the world where everyone is represented.
Pope Leo meets James Martin, US priest known for LGBT ministry reut.rs/3I0yRvR
What could be more normal than two Catholic men discussing gay rights. Any chance of children receiving the same recognition?
The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit ruled Friday that Trump went too far when he declared national emergencies to justify imposing sweeping import taxes on almost every country on earth.
Ah, but this is America. All that happens now is appeals will eventually reach the paid for supreme court, who will overturn any rulings that might stand in the way of trumps March to dictatorship. No modern democracy in the developed world has such a politicised judiciary. Two party dictatorship!
"President Trump is taking action to ensure that agencies vital to national security can execute their missions without delay," the White House said.
When trump says "without delay"... he really means... "without worrying about laws and constitutions".. This is the man that insists Americans must pay 50% more for Brazilian coffee in the name of "national security".
Though regrettably quite stupid and untrainable.
WW3 shaping up nicely. Still entirely unsure which side the Yanks are going to be on based on Trump's behaviour. EU needs a strategic defensive partnership with the UK, Canada and Australia like yesterday.
USA will be on a side of one, as former enemies forget their differences to fight a common foe!
All business actions have consequences. If you friend imposes a 50% tariff,out the blue, on your goods - it’s prudent to find new freinds and new markets ?
Exactly! Trump is making enemies of former friends!
Here’s what you need to know to start your day
Trump is managing to isolate America from the rest of the world. Few realise that India and China have basically no intertrade. Not even direct flights between the two biggest populations on the planet. The OPPORTUNITIES for both are absolutely ENORMOUS, and could make trumps taxes inconsequential!
The brutal truth is the Trump admin & conservatives in Congress are eviscerating workers’ rights in this country. The admin wants to repeal more than 60 workplace regulations, has stripped collective bargaining rights from more than a million federal workers talkingpointsmemo.com/news/a-labor...
Unions are now more important than ever! Trumps attacks on health, education & workers rights are threatening the welfare of all workers in America. In a country that uniquely has only two political parties, it is up to the unions to fill the gap & speak up LOUDLY for real human and workers rights!
Exactly how many "journalists" does hamas have? According to the BBC, 186 have been injured, but there are still about 250. No wonder there's a food shortage!
"I never felt better in my life" - Donald Trump
If everything goes well and trump is no longer president, then what? Frankly the thought of vance in the WH is almost as frightening. Trump is a misogynist buffoon, but vance appears to be completely soulless. In what is an altogether creepy administration he is THE creepiest and crawliest!
The more all encompassing AI becomes... the more important "HAND MADE" will be...
A lot of them can't be offended. You have to be at least semi sentient to take offence. Who has the time to use crayons all of the time.
So, so true. Why did 49% of American voters think that a... misogynist, rapist, felon. paedophile, bankrupt, fascist, egomaniac was exactly what they wanted as president of the United States of America? What on earth would trump have to do for them not to vote for him? Zoophilia? Necrophilia?
🇪🇺😅🇭🇺 The European Commission has not yet responded to the letter to take action regarding the Ukrainian attacks on the Druzhba oil pipeline, — Hungarian MFA Szijjártó. ▪️Brussels and most EU member states are not interested in peace, but in the “long-term continuation of the war in Ukraine”.
What is it with Hungary... You'd have thought they would have learnt from 1956. There must be money involved for all this crap to be going on!
I’m convinced this country went wrong when people stopped punching Nazis in the face on sight.
They still are... But what can you do if 49% of the population vote for them! Apparently paedophiles are supposed to make good presidents? Don't see it myself.
The fact that he has not been in front of cameras or even phoning in to his favorite Fox & Frauds show, to bitch & whine, in a week is proof to me that He's Dead.
He's in the Kremlin, Asking for asylum!
I think religion taught to children is abuse and should be treated as such. I really win them over at Christmas Dinner with that one,lol. #🚫Coverup #WhoisJohnDoe174 #Nakba48 #SlavaUkraini #trumpEpsteinFiles #BLM #LandBack #FreePalestine #EndCitizensUnited #Medicare4All #BoycottWalmart
Dawkins said that for years! Theism is a refuge for misogynists and abusers.
Lithuania has installed so-called 'dragon's teeth' on the border with Russia
No-one can say that the Baltic states don't take the threat Russia poses seriously. Unlike the major European leaders who are quite happy to walk behind trump nodding their joint head falling for his continuous stream of lies, delays & general prevarication. Trump has protected putin since "day one"
And, the Moron American President is no longer useful to Russia and Vlad. He has delivered all they could have hoped for, and he’s outlived his purpose for them. And, Putin will now leave him twisting in the wind.

Expect trump to throw in completely with putin in the next weeks. Trump has successfully used every delaying tactics possible to not cause putin any inconvenience. Trump will obviously blame Zelensky for not agreeing to give away half his country that thousands have died defending DON'T TRUST TRUMP!
Most Gulf markets slide on lower oil prices reut.rs/4oRomvs
Would somebody please explain to trump how supply & demand works. Americans must pay a 50% tax on Indian shirts because trump thinks this will stop India buying Russian oil. but without offering an alternative. The price of oil could rise dramatically. Another excuse to not pressure putin directly!
Theism socks!
Trust in government “fell off the cliff during Vietnam and Watergate, and it’s basically been down ever since,” Dan Balz said on @washingtonweekpbs.bsky.social. He joined @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.socialto discuss lessons from his nearly 50-year career at “The Washington Post”:
The bigger problem is that it NEVER really changes. America has got itself stuck in a ridiculous two party dictatorship. Amongst all developed countries, America has the least choice when it comes to elections. It is perfectly normal in other nations to have 10 or 20 different parties. Choices!
BLOG: The fact that so many people in rich countries believe they can do without immigrant labour shows their incredible ignorance of some of the most basic facts about their own economies. They will pay a high price for their xenophobia. www.jandehn.com/post/your-ra...
Wisconsin meatpackers face labour shortage after Trump orders migrants home on.ft.com/41yyf7s
Trump just don't get it. America NEEDS immigrants. The biggest problem facing both China and Japan is a falling population and a lack of workers. America too is starting to suffer similarly. but worse because of a falling life expectancy, the lowest in the developed world. Heading for big problems!

Don't they just love wearing their new uniforms? So many belts, buckles and whistles. No wonder tourist numbers ate down in America. Who wants to visit a place swarming with untrained idiot, rascist thugs. all armed to the teeth. America is dangerous enough with 120,000 shootings a year. but now????
😆😆
Trump will back down as usual and, of course, blame Zelensky. Don't expect Trump to ever go against his friend Putin. Putin has found a useful tool.
President Trump has warned of unspecified "consequences" if Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky do not meet.
Oh please! What exactly is trump gonna do? So far he has done nothing but prevaricate & avoid ANY actions that might inconvenience putin. Everything trump has done so far has simply made it harder for other nations to assist Ukraine. Time for Europeans to get off the sidelines and DO SOMETHING!
Closely following the Mediterranean diet lowered the risk of dementia by at least 35% in people with two copies of the APOE4 gene, a major risk factor for Alzheimer’s, according to a new study.
Following any diet that doesn't depend on $5 burgers is probably a good start.
Which part of tyranny did freedom-loving Republicans NOT understand⁉️ bsky.app/profile/mind...
Hey Grok (AI) what do you call a government that turns its military against its citizens? Yeah we’re there. Dictatorship/Authoritarian Regime.
Today's meetings in China demonstrate just how much trump is isolating America from the world. Trumps ridiculous import taxes are turning companies & countries away from America as they seek new partners & opportunities. Who is going to invest in a country filled with heavily armed untrained thugs?
My favorite episode... youtu.be/gY_UGdraX7I?...
So true about the smell! I love that as soon as I step off the plane in Vietnam or Malaysia the smell of the place totally overwhelms me. It is wonderful and really makes me feel good immediately. So wonderful to be in places where you can walk around without getting shot!
Religion chose to denigrate women instead of uplifting them. Religion is 💯 misogynistic and hateful. #fuckreligion #godisacon and you’re the mark
This is why most modern religions were started. The original historic religions treated men & women alike. Judaism is a matriarchal society & Buddhism has many female deities. But Catholicism & Islam were created to degenerate woman & make them subservient to men. And all theism is bollox anyway!
@pleightx.bsky.social
Damm!
Trump picked Vance for loyalty and got a guy who’d sell him out for a Costco rotisserie chicken.
Trump chose vance to ensure that he himself wouldn't ever be assassinated. It's quite possible that vance could be a worse president than trump. Trump has a disgusting & repulsive personality. Vance doesn't appear to have one at all. Vance wouldn't shed a single tear if trump dropped dead tomorrow!
Until the next time! Thailand has a more corrupt political system than even America!
On Wednesday, as firefighters worked to contain a 9,000-acre blaze in western Washington's forests, federal officials escorted 44 of those firefighters off the premises, arresting two of them on charges of illegally entering the country.
A country and president with twisted priorities. Obeying a megalomaniacs petty orders is more important than saving lives. Shooting 120,000 people a year is fine as long as you believe in nonexistent super beings and impossible physics. Everything that is wrong and ignorant is embodied in trump!
Or you could ignore me. 🤷🏻♀️🙄
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
The problem is that America is basically a two party dictatorship. The choice is bad or worse. Nearly every developed country on the planet has a multi party system. This often creates coalitions, that are a great check on abuse of power. & sometimes it throws up the occasional oddball. Democracy!
I pray that America cans this creep, @realDonaldTrump ............S.O.O.N.
"Trump is showing, with this insane rant, that he fully intends to maximally abuse presidential powers in every way possible to try to rig and swing the midterms. It’s not an accident that this is all happening while he’s militarizing cities." trib.al/ufHfbdA
Really? But didn't everyone know this was going to happen when they voted for trump. He's doing exactly what he threatend to do at countless rallies. Folks all know that trump is a rapist, misogynist and paedophile, yet millions of women voted for him. Well, they got exactly what they wanted!

Pees me off that everyone has to go through the ridiculous shenanigans of the American "legal" system again. A US court has deemed that trump illegally used emergency powers to enact massive import taxes But everybody in the WORLD knows that SCOTUS will simply rubber stamp whatever trump does.
