Trump’s everlasting peace in the Middle East held for 24 hours, so now he has to defend Hamas killing people to keep his Nobel Prize hopes alive.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Disgusting & scary for an entire new generation of Republicans. Why are so many in the US open Nazis? My running theory is the North needed to occupy the South after the civil war for at least 2 generations to teach them compassion, empathy (and shame) before giving them back power! Like in Germany!

Me too. No identification, guns, masks, violence against an unarmed woman… I’d assume they were terrorists trying to kidnap and rape me and fight to the death!

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 1d

If men with guns and masks tried to pull me out of my car, I'd fight back. Courts should reject any claims by the government that this is aggression by the person being detained, resisting arrest, or that they're a flight risk.

Antifa must be the wealthiest terrorists organisation on Earth, paying $5M people to take to the streets. Can Aussies join? What’s the hourly rate?

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

Trump knows he’s not going to heaven both because he knows heaven doesn’t exist (he’s not a believer) but if it does, he knows God won’t let a pedophile in!

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 2d

President Trump has taken to justifying his policy agenda by invoking his hope of reaching heaven after he dies. But “I don’t think there’s anything [that's] going to get me in heaven,” Trump told reporters en route to Israel on Air Force One. https://wapo.st/4q9yS1E

Just like in Russia don’t you love it how the evil GD regime keep pretending to still pass and follow laws like there’s any legitimacy in their rule? It’s pathetic!

Ha! Russia must be in real trouble then! Have they learnt nothing? Ukraine will only accept real peace… total and complete surrender by the whole of Russian society. Russians then need to be de-brainwashed into not wanting to murder Ukrainians and de-imperialised back into the tiny country they are!

A squealing man who’s recently realised he’s not only found himself defending a prolific pedophile and assistant child sex trafficker, but one who is deeply unpopular with the public and is losing in a country that loves themselves a good revolutionary overthrowing of a king! Can’t wait to watch!
