I think it's pretty clear the US is now the biggest terrorist organisation on the planet. And Trump still have just under 40% support.

Mind boggling.

All those US hospitals are in trouble now. They're known suppliers of it.

Uselss and nasty. Schumer apparently said something like "I want to say something about the events in Sydney, but first, GO NIX!".

As an Australian, I wish I could be eligible to vote for the piece of shit so I wouldn't. A lot in the US are blaze about mass murder, but I expected better from a Dem.

He also got what HE wanted. The removal of oversight for his rocket business to save him money at the expense of increased risk to everyone else. Plus the several investigations into business practices and safety converns got killed.

Trump didn't get what he wanted, Musk did.

The brown uni guy is probably another Republican/MAGA so they want to focus on someone that is definitely not one of theirs.

They are historic. Just not in a good way.
It took a special kind of stupid to cripple the US they way he and his morons have.

But then, his wealth has more than doubled. So maybe not so much stupid as insanely corrupt and traitorous.

Maybe still a mix of both, who can decided?

LOL! If it were even remotely true, seeing it isn't going into the Government coffers (deficit is getting bigger) it must be going into someones pockets. It has to go *somewhere*, right?

So someone is 17 times richer than Musk and we don't know who they are? Impressive security.

Amazing stupidity.

The obvious question. Why not release the photos that they think are meaningful themselves?

I believe the term is "put up or shut up".

I truly fear that are are seeing the average intelligence of a US citizen. I knew a lot were proud of not-knowing anything, but it's worse than I could ever dream.

My posts would probably get me sent to some Egyptian torture chamber. But I posted knowing that I'd not be welcome by the racists and people that wish to sacrifice everything to make their mega-rich richer.

I feel really sorry for some US people I know of though. It's becoming hell for them.

Isn't that expensive, yet?

Many pundits said some nations were fearful of Trump because they flattered and acquiesced to him. But if I knew the way to handle him, then surely they did.

They'd also know any contract they signed are basically worthless and being used to fob him off until he's replaced. Vance wlll be worse.

It's funny.
"I increased your consumption taxes so much you might not have to pay income tax!"

People go "Yay! we won't pay tax!" but forget, they are still taxed, just more hidden and they can't claim deductions at the end of the year.

Businesses won't have any taxes, this is for them, not you.

The US wanted us to rely on them so they had more leverage which he threw away. Some started ramping up military a little while ago, though very late. They must have thought he was posturing.

Before he took office I figured he's completely untrustworthy so I had no trust then he'd be an good ally.

If they didn't know anyone was alive then why fire a second missile?

Fog of War? A drone or AWACS would already have been there for targetting. They had to know. And even if not, were they so scared of the fishing boat that the couldn't check with a drone?

Lips are bad enough. But there are other things you shouldn't put on a glacier that's worse!

They probably "think", "If Trump wanted me to count, he'd give me Trump Numerals. For only $100 per digit.".

Don't follow *illegal* orders somehow means don't follow *legal* orders if the president didn't issue an illegal order?

I get that they say a lot of nonsensical stuff for their idiot base, but jesus, just how dumb are they?

"Don't shoot" means "shoot" as long as they didn't already shoot at me?!

They do.
Many Great Legal Scholars is his goldfishe's name.
It's the only way it makes sense.

Interesting workding. Would it have been ok to "illegally detain a minor" if he was ON duty?

Notthing is 100%, even in science.
So, in the same way that gravity may not exist and the sun is an aliens bedside lamp they accidently left on.

So, do you accept it is more likely if science is 99.9999% sure, or do you ban it because there's a 0.0001 chance there's a small link. (numbers POOMA)

Congress has started pushing back as his dementia gets worse. This could be a bridge too far for many of them. Not all are closet Russians.

Most will assume it's TACO again. He's made making serious demands near impossible because we can't trust a thing he says. It's a hole he's dug for himself.
November 22, 2025 at 9:27 AM
What is it suppose to mean when people take pictures like this.

"Is that a gun or are you just pleased to see me?". Seems inappropriate.

Is it supposed to look tough?

For most people I know of it means something like "we are from the US and are inadequate posers".

Yeah the Budapest Memorandum. Trump’s security guarantees are even less trustworthy. The solution here is to give Ukraine proper treaty security guarantees via full NATO membership.

Someone say ""don't rape children" in front of him. He'll probably go on about how he's so good at it.

In his eyes, follow the law and you're a traitor. Rape kids, sell millions in drug, steal, lie and be in an insurrection, you get a government position.

The US is completely effing nuts.
