Pretty sure that causing additional pain was exactly the point. I'm sure they'll be thrilled to know they succeeded.

I'm afraid the prospect of his being tortured or killed will just make his forcible return even more delicious to MAGAts.

Unfortunately, it isn’t at all hard to believe these days.

This is always the problem. In a state populated solely by perceived superior beings, who’s going to do the menial work? Netanyahu needs to bear that in mind too.

The list of things that are only a problem when Democrats do them is getting longer by the millisecond.

Comparing Trump's egotistical parade with Trooping the Colour, which commemorates the king's official birthday and took place in London on the same day as Trump's extravaganza, I'm not sure that kings are the actual problem.

Wonder how long before Trump pardons him.

Is he capable of not making things worse? Seems to be happening all the time.

Oh goody - MAGA doesn't like non-MAGA elected officials so they're going to overthrow them? Then again, these are the same people who think democracy and unbridled capitalism are the same thing.

Maybe they should think about *loudly* urging Trump to do something about it. Republican lawmakers are a bunch of spineless wusses. They know Stephen Miller et al are claiming that undocumented migrants are criminals by definition.

Glad someone's noticing. Netanyahu has provided a diversion with the Iranian attack, presumably hoping nobody will notice yet more bombed-out schools and hospitals in Gaza.

Jeff Flake could have done more to prevent this when he was in Congress but decided to heave deep sighs and claim to be very concerned, like Susan Collins. So now he gets to write an obituary that he helped make necessary.

Figures. After all, he wouldn't let George Monbiot's documentary about neoliberalism onto Amazon. Crazy lettuce women get space, criticism of winner-take-all economics gets rejected.

No Tyrants is probably better anyway, given how most of the European constitutional monarchies are (so far) generally more resistant to authoritarian takeover than the republics seem to be.

But he had to. obvs. It was an Obama agreement and Trump needed to undo everything Obama did. Makes perfect sense to people who can't see more than five minutes into the future.

But she reacted exactly as Trump would have wanted, so she's in no danger of being asked to step down. She might even end up as VP in his third term.

How many times have we heard from his officials that simply being in the USA without documentation makes people criminals? He's making (or pretending to make) a distinction his own ICE people aren't making.

The masked men of ICE will be targeting blue states. Trump won't send them after his own people.

DOGE wouldn't see that as waste. It'd only be waste if a Democratic president were to try it.

I'm surprised MSNBC is still on the air, given that their anchors regularly criticise Trump and his minions.

Comes as no surprise that his pledges are meaningless. I suppose he and his rich friends can get the vaccines they need for their own families. Everyone else can die, I suppose.

Erm, Gavin, if you haven't figured out that Trump's America isn't a civilised country, you haven't been paying attention.

People think Donald Trump is a supporter of the working class when he very much is not. Farage apparently has also learned how to appear to be the opposite of what he really is.

Conservatives of conscience? They aren't Republicans any more.
