Trump's Second Term

[Andy_Ross]

For Brits of a certain age.

And now Maria who wants to swap a Nobel Peace Prize for the Presidency of Venezuela

I keep hoping there is a chance she had the peace prize duplicated and gave him an appropriate fake version. Spray paint on plastic might be more fitting.

I wouldn't bet on that. There are people here who defended Trump's previous Administration's corruption, such as Zig. It would be no surprise for partisan apologists like him, especially on the Right, to have defended the corruption in other Republican Administrations.

This is a major reason why I have no loyalty toward ANY Political Party. I want to be able to call out corruption and stupidity wherever it pops up.
Right now the GOP is much,much worse then the Democrats, but the Dems have their own problems.

Yeah, I remember all the fear-mongering and pearl clutching over Harris wanting price controls.

I voted for Harris, but did not support her on this.Price Controls simply don;t work very well long term.

Trump now threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota. This would be a huge escalation. It is seldom invoked, last time was furing the LA riots of 1992.And what is happening in Minneapolis is no where near that level.
It';s most famous used was in 1861; Lincoln invoked it after Fort Sumter as the basis fo rhis calling up troops to quell the rebellion; it was a de facto declaration of War against the Confederacy.

Anyone paying over 10% for any kind of credit, take note. Trump will make the banks lend you their money at just 10%.

Imagine if any Democrat had pulled a stunt like that. I mean seriously, imagine it. The Republicans would be screaming about communism and totalitarianism.

Sounds like a plan...to trigger another great depression.

a single Dutch submarine might be enough.

Nimitz-Class Nuclear Navy Aircraft Carrier: ‘Sunk’ By Small Diesel Submarine

In a 1999 NATO exercise, the Dutch Walrus-class submarine HNLMS Walrus successfully penetrated a US carrier strike group's defenses and simulated the sinking of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt.

'Nothing is being picked up by sonar, captain!'
'Switch to active!'
'Sonar's picking up nothing, captain!'


I remember similar stories about Swedish submarines with their new sterling engines. They apparently unnerved the Americans so much they decided to lease a couple of the subs so they could study them.

I see the world's most egotistical man child has persuaded the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize to pretend to award it to him. What an embarrassment to the USA.

Meh, that's not even in the top 10 of most embarrassing things that soggy sack of scrotum skin has done in the last 3-4 months.

Trump is now threatening to tariff countries that don't give him the go ahead to take over Greenland. I'm not a doctor but I'm pretty sure that's not how tariffs are supposed to work. This man is so addicted to being hated by the left that he escalates his bull ◊◊◊◊ every single day. I can't imagine having to be a Republican right now and defend the actions of this ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ cancer to the world.
