Trump's post This Radical Left Lunatic of a Judge, a troublemaker and agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected President - He didn’t WIN the popular VOTE (by a lot!), he didn’t WIN ALL SEVEN SWING STATES, he didn’t WIN 2,750 to 525 Counties, HE DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING! I WON FOR MANY REASONS, IN AN OVERWHELMING MANDATE, BUT FIGHTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION MAY HAVE BEEN THE NUMBER ONE REASON FOR THIS HISTORIC VICTORY. I’m just doing what the VOTERS wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the Crooked Judges’ I am forced to appear before, should be IMPEACHED!!! WE DON’T WANT VICIOUS, VIOLENT, AND DEMENTED CRIMINALS, MANY OF THEM DERANGED MURDERERS, IN OUR COUNTRY. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! A deranged post, Trump unable to separate the powers of the executive from the judiciary. It's incendiary, extremely insulting and could easily fire up Maga supporters Trump is insane.

On Monday, the American Bar Association issued a statement denouncing the ongoing wave of verbal assaults and threats against judges. The Federal Judges Association said on Tuesday that “continued violence, intimidation and defiance directed at judges simply because they are fulfilling their sworn judicial duties” risked “the collapse of the rule of law.”

Trump delivering peace? Oh, is Putin agreeing to a ceasefire, laying down his weapons, dismantling his missiles?

The collapse of the rule of law. The judicial branch of government is co-equal to the presidency and to Congress, under the Constitution. However, Trump and Musk are treating judges as if they have no right to constrain them. Yet that’s precisely what judges are supposed to do if they find that the executive branch has exceeded its authority. Trump's descent includes threat of violence in his most direct attack against judiciary | Opinion The article referred to above reveals the horrifying depths Trump has sunk to in his determination to override the judiciary. A purveyor of hate, threats and victimhood, he is surely the most dangerous man in the US right now.

Maga people are simple minded and can only apply blanket terms to those who disagree with them, shades of McCarthyism. Many left wingers don't agree with certain woke stances- I agree, for example, that we should keep transgender athletes out of female toilets and sports. Victim culture, moral relativism are other areas where many left wingers have differing opinions. Oh! Wait a minute, who plays the victim card the most? Donald Trump!

Macron calls on EU leaders to boycott US weapons "Those who buy Patriot should be offered the new-generation Franco-Italian SAMP/T. Those who buy the F-35 should be offered the Rafale. That's the way to increase the rate of production," he argued. Macron also called on French defence companies to reduce bureaucracy and costs to make European alternatives more competitive.

Thousands across Europe and Canada are joining Facebook groups where they exchange ideas about how to avoid U.S. products and find alternatives. The Danish Facebook page “Boykot varer fra USA” (Boycott goods from the U.S.), has swelled to more than 80,000 members. Edouard Roussez, a farmer from northern France, launched an online group, “Boycott USA, Buy French and European!” that in just two weeks has attracted over 20,000 members on Facebook. Of course the irony is Facebook is American but Edouard is working to migrate the group to other platforms with no U.S. funding or capital. The European countries where thousands are boycotting US goods Apart from defence, European social media platforms are an issue Europe must attend to. It will take time to build our own but it's a must.

Tesla insiders bail out. Elon Musk's brother, Kimbal Musk, unloaded 75,000 Tesla shares worth approximately $27 million last month whilst the chairman of the board, Robyn Denholm, offloaded more than $75 million dollars worth of shares in two transactions over the past five weeks. In addition, Musk ally James Murdoch, Rupert Murdoch's son, sold shares worth approximately $13 million on March 10.

According to the latest national poll by NBC News 61% of US voters sympathize with Ukraine, while only 2% sympathize with Russia. The rest do not express support for either side. At the same time, 49% of Americans surveyed described Donald Trump as sympathetic to Russia, while 40% considered his stance neutral. Only 8% of Americans acknowledged Trump's support for Ukraine. It was noted 88% of Democratic Party supporters back Ukraine, while 57% of Republicans do not support either side. Trump's policy on Ukraine creates unprecedented situation in US

David Enrich of the New York Times reported on Saturday that, "Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave." Journalist Josh Marshall responded, "Congressional created, funded part of the US government. All of this stuff is illegal. Just because it's happening doesn't make it less illegal," Marshall then added, "emails placing Voice of America employees on indefinite leave" along with other actions by the Trump administration are a "devastating blow to democracy and a major gift to anti-American authoritarian regimes worldwide." Toxic ignorance Christian Christensen, Professor at Stockholm University remarked,'' VOA has been pumping out anti-leftist, pro-Capitalism propaganda for decades. These people literally have no idea what they are shutting down or why. The ignorance is utterly toxic." I can hear the clinking of glasses in Moscow and China from here. 'Autocrats rejoicing': Outrage after Trump's 'toxic' move to shut down 'beacons of hope'

Surely Donald wouldn't lie to the great intelligent MAGA public? I can't believe it, I trusted him implicitly 555

I guess Donald wins because he talks so much more.

No, no. Donald has promised he can stop the war in 24 hours.

What? Trump didn't talk to Putin at all?

Who lies more: Trump or Putin?

Sounds like intelligent, assertive women frighten you.

Fiona Hill, a former senior National Security Council official and expert on European and Russian affairs, said during his first term Trump was unprepared for meetings with Putin, focussing on the personal relations rather than diplomatic strategy. “The very first time I was in one of the phone calls with Putin, I was listening very carefully to the Russian, because the interpreters don’t always capture everything, they don’t capture the nuances, particularly when it’s the Russian interpreter who’s translating into a language that’s also not their native language, all kinds of things are missing,” she remembered. Trump described the exchange as “great,” she said. But Hill didn't agree. “There was all kinds of menace in what Putin had said, he chooses his words very carefully,” she explained. “Many times when Putin and Trump are interacting, Putin’s actually making fun of him,” she continued. “It’s just it’s completely lost in the translation. I can give lots of episodes of this, or he’s goading him and urging him on to something, because he’s trying to see how he’ll react and the translation smooths over all that. That context is absolutely missing. And he doesn’t do a readout afterwards.”

Vladimir Putin knew the US would cut military aid and intelligence sharing with them, Ukrainian troops are said to believe. Within hours of the decision, Russian forces captured key villages across Kursk. But despite the setback, Volodymyr Zelensky's popularity has "skyrocketed" on the front since his feisty showdown with Donald Trump in the Oval Office. Mr Zelensky has been praised for his "unwillingness to back down and be bullied" since the debacle. Ukraine will fight on with or without US aid, Lieutenant Colonel Vano Nadiradze, a top commander in Ukraine, said. He added that while manpower is a problem, it is not "catastrophic".

As Trump realises persuading Putin ain't easy, he starts to parrot more and more the line, ' The war would never have started if I had been President.' Everything is ego to the world's greatest narcissist, so watch this line get trotted out more and more as his stupid boasts about ending the war in 24 hours are shot down in flames

Reason-to extend Russian sphere of influence/ empire in spite of this concept being rejected by the majority of the population.

Americans getting sick of Trump and Musk.
