Imagine being fired because you’re good at your job and you’re a decent person. www.bbc.com/news/article...

There is a tradition in America that in serving your country you’re respecting your president. At the lament it’s a case of serving the president and disrespecting your country.

Most of this was probably security. Here’s a saving for you DOGE. Remove it!

Who the f*** cares what Trump feels? www.bbc.com/news/article...

I was born in the aftermath of WW2 and am vilified as a “Boomer”. Let me make it clear. I’ve hated labels on people and always will and have been horrified by Brexit as I am by Trump. Don’t tar everyone with the same brush. Be understanding, be kind, don’t be judgmental.

Can you imagine Kennedy getting into bed with Kruschev? That’s what’s happening right now.

It appears that the resistance to Trump is growing both inside and outside America. He might want to rethink how much time he spends on the golf course.

Guys here are my boys Cookie and Dexter! Please help me save them!! Please repost and help me get them the fuck out of this hell hole!!

“A clown, a punk, a jerk, an idiot”. Robert de Niro’s assessment is fine by me.

Whether he likes it or not, Trump’s legacy will be a combination of dismal failure, moral destitution and criminality.

Clearly Trump is not adverse to civil insurrection, on the assumption that his supporters would win and set him up as unopposed dictator with democracy fully out of the window. It’s happening before our eyes. Resistance and his defeat must be very soon before it’s too late.

Are you seriously going to let this happen to your country Americans? www.bbc.com/news/live/c9...

Suspect Trump’s Ukraine “peace plan” is to move all the Ukrainian people out and build a giant theme park and resort named “Putins”.

Trump, Musk, Putin, Netanyahu: pure evil. Don’t appease, oppose!

Resolved @BBC!! RESOLVED!!! Jesus!! www.bbc.com/news/article...

When I was young a long time ago people had next to nowt but they looked after each other, and this was and is far more valuable than owt.

The human race coughs up some irredeemable sh*ts sometimes. 2 of them are defacating on the world from America. No time like the present to flush them away.

Europe is now the only adult in the room.

Reeves has a fourth option. Rejoin the SM and CU. But if Labour prefer a stagnant economy, further drop in living standards and a predicted electoral wipe out at the next election. So be it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

Europe is starting to resist Trump and will be the stronger for it. The American people need to address this from the inside and do the same thing otherwise the division and destruction will continue.

America under Trump, a race to the lunatic bottom.

Having set about wrecking their own democracy I see that Trump personified by Vance is now looking to wreck those in Europe. Time to turn our backs on America, it’s a pariah country with no value in the free world.

In the words of Robert De Niro “he’s a punk”.

So evil and so stupid.

As a European born in Britain and living in France this annoys the hell out of me, especially due to Trump. Why is BBC sport headlining this, I’ve no idea who this bloke is nor the sport he plays!!! www.bbc.com/sport/americ...

Trump’s decision to give Putin what he wants in Ukraine, then walk away, leaving Europe to pick up the tab isn’t just a betrayal; it divides the west in the eyes of Putin and weakens NATO. America is no longer on the side of the west and Trump must be seen as a traitor.

Let’s put the cards on the table. Trump is only interested in democracy insofar as he can manipulate it, then he destroys it to preserve himself. You won’t get the chance to vote him out again so America, you have to work that out.
