Generous!

Fine matey, complain to the moderators then.

I don't like BMWs, and confess to reservations about many of those who drive around in them, and their "driving style". A bit over the top though!

To which the people of Canada have, umh, shall we say "responded'!

It is reported that 4 children (US Citizens) have been deported to Honduras, with their mothers who were not US citizens. One child has stage 4 cancer. The child was deported without medicine. Honan appeared alongside Karoline Levitt, blustering as he attempted to justify it. The man is a skidmark on the underpants of humanity. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/us/politics/us-citizen-children-deported-honduras-trump.html?unlocked_article_code=1.DU8.pvFH.a2Xyy7-pvEwv&smid=url-share

Poor old Wisconsin, rather getting it in the neck aren't they? Nothing to do with the resounding "naff off" they gave to Elon Musk when he tried to buy their Supreme Court Election of course!

I suppose that these reasonably regular suggestions that Yingluck may return from exile does give meaning to the lives of the more frothy mouthed of the yellow underpants brigade! A reason to wake up and turn on their social media!

If you attempt to remodel global trade in the US favour, whilst devaluing the Dollar, would that not dramatically remove its appeal as the Global reserve currency? Given the amount of global debt held by other countries, wouldn't devaluation, which reduces the value of that debt and reduces the value of the interest payments it provided mean extending or increasing that debt prohibitively expensive. I can't see any "Mar a Lago accord" smoothing over any of that!

Why does eating bananas and corn flakes make you feel guilty?

Not that that will stop Trump, and Honan's goons squad, rounding them up and shopping them off to their El Salvadoran gulags!

Oh dear! The most frothy mouthed of the frothy mouthed is up and about!

It is a cult. American society is particularly prone to cults. For some reason they are often embraced enthusiastically. As always, look back over history. The people to really watch, yet often the hardest to identify, are those in the shadows behind the cult leader.

Several actually (wives and children) over the years!

He was doing a particularly fine impression of a bulldog chewing a wasp during the homily!

She nearly got the job as State Treasurer! Dodged a bullet there Nevada!

One can safely assume that Subaru, Kubota and ATV were not party to one of those 200 trade deals then.

Tragic

Ah, those innocent days when for Trump a filler item between the TnA in a soft core porn magazine was being published in a publication of record!

In the last decade the UK has given some £2.3 billion in aide to India and some £665 million to Pakistan. Now I have no problem with, in fact I actively concur with, aide to help with for example, health, extreme poverty, clean water, child nutrition in the poorest countries of the world. I do really object to it going to countries which can afford nuclear weapons programmes, and whose bearded loonies in their militaries are enthusiastically threatening to use them on each other. In fact, on Foreign Aid, I think we should seriously rethink it. Not cutting the amount dedicated to it, but seriously targeting it to those who really need it.

1 am not an economist, but even I can see that putting tarrifs of multiples of 10% on imported goods means that the prices of those imported goods rise - inflation? If in the long term manufacturing "returns to the US" it will require massive investment in factories. Wages and production costs for the goods will be higher, investment will have to be paid back, therefore the goods will be more expensive ( the whole reason the manufacturing moved abroad) - inflation?

Of course he would - the boy scouts have adult leaders!

How jolly diverse!

Bezos has the money to buy himself a bit of peace and quiet!

Having paid through the nose, and probably every other orifice, for the "privilege".

Is there any ideology - or is it just a mismash of constantly changing "concepts of plans" driven by his grotesque ego, greed and rampant narcissism?
