Trump & his crew of sycophants complain that any judge who blocks one of his executive orders must be a "raving lefty lunatic" or "corrupt". When will he realize that they are in fact simply upholding the actual law and the constitution? If Trump didn't break the law, judges wouldn't block him..!

Trump has banned Harvard from taking international students. Doesn't matter what country they're from - UK, Australia, anywhere! Apart from the legality of that - which I doubt exists - this is pure spite, revengeful, retaliation for Harvard refusing to bend the knee for Trump. Thank you Harvard!!

So Trump has officially accepted the world's biggest non-secret bribe. The Qatar Boeing 747. With what it costs to convert it into Air Force One, plus the cost of all his golf holidays, I'm surprised they have enough money left to fund tax cuts for the rich. Oh, wait - it's coming from the poor.!

Israel is not making any friends in the world. It crossed the line many months ago, committing many war crimes. It celebrates killing one Hamas person, ignoring the fact that they kill 200 or more Palestinians in order to get one Hamas operator. Using starvation blockade as a weapon is repugnant

After Zelensky & now Ramophosa, Trump would surely be the worst host for another country's leaders? He is rude, lies, lacks all social graces, has no respect for anyone, & zero respect for the position of President of the USA. He is a boor & a bully. His mental processes are clinically worrying.

I still think that multiple, coordinated free concerts by Springsteen, Swift, & any other willing well-known participants, in multiple locations in Washington DC on June 14th would be a great thing.... What about holding one on Pennsylvania Avenue? Am I evil for imagining this?

Plenty of suggestions to disrupt Trump's self-aggrandizement parade on June 14th, but the best so far is a free concert by Springsteen, Taylor Swift, and as many others as can be arranged, in multiple venues all in & around Washington DC. Lasting all day. Would go down in history, like Woodstock.

So Trump not only pardons all the insurrectionists from Jan 6th, but has now given $5 million to the family of Ashli Babbit who was trying to break into the secure door leading to the house when she was shot by security police. Who said crime doesn't pay? How to turn a perpetrator into a victim..!

Even if 8647 meant what the MAGAts claim, do they not realise that those who oppose 47 would then have fuckwits like JD Vance, Johnson, & the rest of the MAGA enablers to deal with? There would still be evil extremists like Miller, Vought, Homan, Gabbard, Noem, & the gang to continue destroying USA

Given that very few Americans fall into the billionaire class, it beats me (and my logical brain) just WHY so many worship the Orange Idiot, when THEY are the potential targets of his shenanigans? Once Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc has been gutted, will they still worship him then?

Why is it Clarence Thomas & Samuel Alito who ALWAYS dissent in Supreme Court rulings that go against the Trump administration? Could it be that they are both so compromised by scandals, bribes, payola, & general screwballness, that they just HAVE to keep on Trump's good side? (If he has one...!)

The videos of RFK Jr, ICE maiden Noem, Gabbard, etc in front of Congressional committees, blustering, ignoring, & flat-out LYING are very disturbing. They show contempt not just for courts, the judiciary, & the Constitution, but also their co-equal cornerstones of government. Brain-dead morons!

I was always taught that if something seemed too good to be true, then it most likely wasn't true, or had strings attached. You'd think Trump, supposedly a smart business wheeler & dealer, (according to him, at least), would spot the flaw in the offer of a free $400m Boeing-747 wouldn't you?

Sickening how Trump grovels at the feet of Saudi Crown Prince MBS - just because he is a Prince. Trump is envious - he wants to be a king, but being a Prince's bitch will have to do for now. But watch out for his future moves...

Trump seems to work on the following principle: It's not WHAT you know. It's not even WHO you know. It's what you've got on who you know...!

Has anyone wondered, like I do, just HOW Trump got to have the influence over so many people that he seems to have? It's certainly not personal charisma. It's not being honourable. It's not having great ideas or policies. So exactly how DID a failed businessman & a conman become such an idol?

I'm in Australia so don't get to see Fox News much at all (thank goodness). But the few times I've seen Jeanine Pirro, especially when being corrected by her colleagues, she has gone on wild rants defying truth & logic, like a mad woman. How can she be considered rational enough to be a US Attorney?

Trump & his family (incl Melania, & the next generation) really need to be investigated for fraud & grifting using their various cryptocurrency schemes, wheeling & dealing to put millions (?billions) in their pockets. Not talking about into government coffers here - talking about their OWN pockets!

Given that Trump simply ignores judicial rulings, from all levels up to and including the Supreme Court, shouldn't that mean we can all ignore his executive orders in return?

Trump is REALLY on the nose! We had our federal election in Australia yesterday. Our right wing parties including one that modeled itself on the "Trump" brand by calling itself "Trumpet of Patriots" (aka Bugle of Bullshit) were decimated. Main opposition party leader lost his own seat. Canada again.

Trump has done - still is doing - everything to alienate all the usual allies of USA. From trade wars to the Ukraine war, he has shown nothing but disdain for allies. He simply doesn't believe in alliances. Many - including Australia - are now looking at new alliances that are NOT the USA. Sad.!

Hearing what Trump said at his rally "celebrating" his first 100 days in office, I have two reactions: 1. Laughing my socks off, at the complete dissociation between what he says, and reailty 2. Shaking my head in disbelief at the hordes of cult worshipers who believe him. Dumb idiots, all of 'em

How does Karoline Leavitt, aka The Bimbo of Bullshit, sleep at night knowing all the lies she's told in any one given day? How can someone stand there and blatantly tell porkies that fly in the face of facts, when she KNOWS that most in the room know the facts, without popping her haemorrhoids?

Still checking the obituaries every day....

To all the FBI & ICE agents, US Marshalls, & police who seem to enjoy kidnapping people & "disappearing" them, or arresting a judge, or simply ignoring the judiciary: Your time to defend your actions will surely come, when the USA hopefully returns to "normal". "Obeying orders" just won't cut it!

With so many judges ruling against Trump and his administration, you really have to wonder at just how thick they are not to realize the common factor in all those cases is THEM - the Trump cronies and fellow grifters, racists, and scumbags.

What a hypocrite Stephen Miller is - this article is written by his uncle and reveals the extent of Miller's hypocrisy: www.politico.com/magazine/sto...

If the arrest by Kash Patel's FBI of a sitting judge doesn't trigger the Supreme Court to come down hard against Trump and his cronies, then I suspect nothing will, and all hope of SCOTUS keeping Trump in check is in vain. So many lines have been crossed by this Trump administration. USA is doomed

The grifter con man comes up with another plan to put money in his pocket. Surely this is illegal and unethical on many levels, not least of which is national security? What a bag of sleaze...!

Trump looks more and more like the sock puppet for Steven Miller, Russell Vought, and the other Project 2025 conspirators. They ALL need to be "disappeared", preferably to El Salvador. Not much use just sacking Trump, although it would be a good start.

Love this :)

#GVerse #Attention: The #OrangeBuffoon's HORROR SHOW‼️‼️‼️

SCOTUS should be impartial, not partisan. The party they vote for should not influence their unbiased interpretation of Constitution & law. But above all else, they should command respect by being seen to be incorruptible, fair, and logical. Thomas & Alito command no respect & should NOT be there!

Calls to impeach Trump again are a waste of time! He would just ignore it, like he did the last two times. He needs to be forcibly removed from office, probably by SCOTUS. But then there'd still be the rest of the mob, so SCOTUS needs to remove the entire administration & call for new elections.

This would be as funny as a Keystone Cops or Abbott & Costello movie if it weren't so serious. This extremely dodgy wheeler-dealer, with zero experience, who is already indebted to campaign donors, gets to lead the IRS. Really, Trump, REALLY? Is this clown really the best you can do?

SCOTUS is worryingly quiet while Trump & his cronies are tearing Law and Order to shreds. Shouldn’t they at least issue a warning that lines have been crossed?

With the ever-worse goings-on of Trump & his cronies, is there a mechanism - anywhere - that can bring down the entire administration? Impeachment won't work - not enough numbers, & he just ignores it anyway. Supreme Court - can they strip him of the presidency and fire the entire administration?

Love this :)

Why I, and many other Australians, have now decided NOT to visit the USA under any circumstances until the current administration has gone, and only then if things settle down to some semblance of normal. newsapp.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Has anyone seen or heard from or about Melania recently? Is she still around, fulfilling the duties of First Lady? Or is she hiding and keeping her head down while her pseudo-husband wrecks the USA? Is she actually living in the White House? WHERE IS MELANIA???
