Another giant nothingburger! No one in this administration will be held accountable until the Dems gain a majority in both houses. After that, the gloves will be off.

In his seminal work War and Punishment, Hein Goemans argues that for leaders in semi-repressive or autocratic systems, the cost of admitting defeat is existential. If a leader believes that losing a war will lead not just to political removal but to imprisonment or death, they are incentivized to “gamble for resurrection.” This is the situation both Trump & Putin find themselves in. In the name of self interest the Republicans in both houses have ceded autocratic powers to Trump.

That just about sums up the MAGA idea of humour. Hope you’re enjoying this peaceful world thanks to Donald Trump!

What planet are you on? Trump has wilfully and unconstitutionally bypassed Congress to start this war. Not a warmonger? after Venezuala, now Iran and next Cuba! I still can’t understand why he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize.🤡

WTF! Our beloved leader has lost the plot. This Markwayne is nowhere near as hot as Kristi and we all know - hotness is quite rightly the premier qualification in this administration.

Can’t believe the negativity on here. Just look at the intellectual giants this guy has brought into his administration.

What odds did you get? 🥳🥂

There is a joint strategy between Trump & Netanyahu which is solely intended to keep both them out of prison. Netanyahus position has been endlessly documented, Trumps plan is to announce a national emergency and cancel the mid-terms as the consequence of that would have been impeachment potentially with Republicans in the minority in both houses. Conspiracy theory? Absolutely! Let’s wait and see.

The fact that he named him Colt tells you all you need to know about this redneck a@@hole.

Absolutely right. We had a letter from the British Embassy when Covid occurred. Cancelled flights resulted in a 3 day overstay. We booked the first flight available, turned up at Suva and guess what? A bht 1500 fine! Immigration couldn’t have given a toss about our letter or the prevailing circumstances. 2 days later a total amnesty was declared. I wrote a letter complying to the Thai Ambassador in London and surprisingly got no reply. As a postscript, we never received the +£500 owed by Thai Air for the cancelled flight as they went into bankruptcy shortly afterwards.

For reasons of location he was arrested by the Thames Valley Police but the Met (and also the Essex force) are currently investigating. Please stand corrected.

I don’t think the Met Police are particularly bothered about the whitewash going on in DC.

The initial gathering of evidence is what results in a person becoming a suspect. The likelihood of that evidence leading to a conviction in a court of law is what makes the suspect a defendant.

Excellent police work! Not a sentence one sees on here very often. Tend to agree with Toby1947 comment above.
