Hungary to oppose EU military training mission in Ukraine, minister says Foreign Minister Szijjarto said his country would not agree to any part of the mission as the move crosses a line that would make the conflict more likely to spill over into Europe.

This administration is staffed by the dumbest people you can possibly imagine. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

I wonder at what point the Trump admin will remove Judge Xinis to Guantanamo or indeed to CECOT

There are 2 WTF adverts for deodorant on TV currently. One WTF and gross. The other, for Lynx, is very funny youtu.be/JWNh8cmpjXA?...

Do not travel to the USA

Do you think Trump will stop there? If churches don't continue the Trump Nazi doctrine, they will be taxed also. Evangelicals won't need to worry though, because they literally put Trump in office.

@jacquep.bsky.social @frenchie.bsky.social This probably made me laugh more than it should have! youtu.be/itmj1fJqeXQ?...

If you're on the Master Death File, can they still deport you to El Salvador? Also, if someone murders you, can they argue they didn't since you were already dead? The mind boggles

If the UK accepts a nothing off the table, no holds barred trade deal with the USA, will the UK be renamed to USB? I'll get my coat.

Under Trump, the United States is a local country for local people. There's nothing for foreigners here. (except ICE raids, detention, deportation to El Salvador...)

Why is nobody stopping Trump, people cry... If only more people had paid attention to what Trump was saying (dictator and so on) and to Project 2025? Unfortunately they elected Trump as President and gave him a majority in both houses. There isn't much an opposition with no power can do.

Who is going to do something? This is Kim Jong-Un shit.

I have received an email from the future (spam claiming to be from French motorway company)

In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

Most news outlets have hailed this as a victory for free speech - even down to the Spectator. Not the Express and Reform UK, though. Those 'warriors for free speech' continue to underline they only mean their speech. ~AA

Let's hope when Vance asks "can we sell you hormone grown beef, chlorine washed chicken... And can we buy the NHS" Starmer says No. One can dream JD Vance says Trump ‘working very hard’ with UK on negotiating trade deal www.msn.com/en-gb/news/u...

“The officers grabbed him and two other boys right at the entrance to [his] building. One said, ‘No, he's not the one,’ like they were looking for someone else. But the other said, ‘Take him anyway.’” So they did.

Patrick Martin, boss of MEDEF, French equivalent of CBI: Trump is not eternal.

"Your sense 2 battery is low" Not the only thing that feels out of sort and energy...

Unfortunately, it is quite possible that many US voters won't give a damn whether people arrested and sent to El Salvador are guilty of anything or not. If they are legally in the US or not. If they are American or not. As long as they can be persuaded they are enemies, many US voters will say Amen.

Appeasement is what Trump wants. Fuck that, and fuck him.
