Is he smiling because he thinks Trump will pardon him?

He needs to play so much golf so that he can maintain his superb physical shape.

What penalty does Trump dish out to people who disagree with him in public?

It's a pity that a majority of American electors didn't do that last November

I do understand that people are scared of Trump. But someone needs to tell him that he cannot demand that another sovereign state holds elections.

Good phrase!
You're right but I was thinking more specifically of his Christianity, of which I'm not, btw, approving. It was easy to ridicule his refusal to be in the sole company of a woman not his wife - but hard to doubt his sincerity in such things.

Absolutely. Unlike many of his fellow Republicans, his Christianity is not tinged with hypocrisy.

In Trump's America, Mike Pence is a hero.

Note: " WE haven't had elections in Ukraine ..."

Wonder if Trump's approval numbers next year will be anywhere near Zelensky's numbers today.

This piece of news inevitably prompts the question: what would his uncle think?

Rightio.
Winston Churchill was a dictator without elections between 1939 and 1945.

I know I shouldn't - but I'm going to absolutely love watching his MAGA fans slowly realise that he neither needs them anymore, nor gives a flying fuck about them.

Because she has exercised her right under the constitution.

That's rich coming from a practised liar.

DEI was specifically designed to ensure equality of opportunity - by redressing unfair advantage.

It's a little known fact that Poland started WW2.

Countless people pointing out that there were no elections in Britain between 1939 and 1945.

Like most Trump merch is made in China.
They specialise in - among other things - rank hypocrisy.

According to Musk's father, Musk's maternal grandparents were members of the Canadian Nazi party.

In passing, I find it hilarious that Johnson is arguing that we should 'get serious'.

But it's a slam dunk. SCOTUS has said that anything he does as president has presumptive immunity.

By the by - is that Trump's toilet face?

And they can't rid of her because - who else is there?

Who? Musk the free speech absolutist? That Musk?

Presumably Trump thinks Ukraine's skirt was too short and that it had it coming.

And - chase the money trail and you'll likely find that much of the interest is due somehow to the same people who own the water companies in the first place.

Everyone deserves down time though, right? Not many people know how hard it is signing executive orders with a sharpie and talking shit every day.

What will there be in the Trump presidential library? Colouring-in books? Back issues of Playboy? Historical McDonald's menus? Classified state papers?

Presumably, in Trump's America blaming perpetrators for their crimes is now considered woke.

The obvious comparison that this twisted statement suggests is where a woman is blamed for being raped.

And imagine if Roosevelt had said publicly that Poland was responsible for the invasion of Poland and that any half-baked negotiator could have settled the dispute in 1939.
comment in response to
post
I really don't understand who Trump is trying to persuade when he asserts that Ukraine is responsible for Russia's invasion.
There can't be many, if any, people in the entire world who accept that bizarre point of view.
comment in response to
post
Do you believe that Trump has a record of fighting for the rights of individual people, or for 'individual rights' (ie the abstract idea)?
The two are different and your post is ambiguous.

I saw a vox pop done on 5 January in which two American twenty-somethings were asked what 'tomorrow's anniversary' means to them. Neither of them knew and one offered 'is it the anniversary of 9/11?'

Oh - good point. When is Musk going to turn up at the Capitol and demand access to all their information systems and records and then start sacking congressmen and senators?

Those of us with an interest in both politics and aviation know very well that in the case of an accident the right wing is supposed to shear off .. it stops people from getting hurt.

Stupid wanker. Algorithms can't detect fraud. That's not what they're for or do.

It's exactkly how a mafia boss acts. The US elected a mafia boss to be its president because too many people were fooled into believing that he has their interests at heart. He doesn't.

It's blatant attempt to buy the affection of a certain slice of young male voters.
comment in response to
post
I doubt Trump has even heard of them. Someone in his inner circle has probably told him that prosecuting them is an example of woke and that he can gain kudos with younger male voters by doing this.
