Absolutely sickening behaviour on Ukraine from America. I hope you Yanks are proud of rolling over for Butcher Putin. I had thought better of you.

Under Trump/Musk and their collection of midget-minded venal underlings, the USA is a write-off for the next few years at least. We Europeans must stand forth for peace and liberty; and not just with words, but with weapons at the ready. Russia must be stopped - permanently. And we CAN do it.

Temporarily ( I hope) America is ruled by people who are every mixture of stupid, mad, greedy and drug-addled. Until this situation is corrected, we Europeans ( inc Ukraine) must be the grown-ups and, united, deal firmly with Putin and his butchers.

Please can someone tell me WHY billionaires need tax cuts?

It’s beginning to look as if I was right - Turd Trump will sell out his allies and bow his bald head to Butcher Putin. If that does indeed prove to be the case, then the USA will be reviled as turncoats and venal cowards for ever.

I just hope plans have been made to cope when Trump sells Ukraine (and Europe) down the river. Because he 100% will do that. Butcher Putin and his fellow slaughterers know exactly how to manipulate the Stupid Orange Narcissist.

Can anyone explain to me, please, why the morbidly wealthy need or deserve any tax cuts?

Re: the White House and its denizens. “Omnishambles” is an appropriate word. Not the only one; but a good one nonetheless.

Vomit-inducing words from Peter Mandelson (UK pol) retracting his previous, perfectly rational, criticisms of Trump. Claims to have been led astray by an Italian journalist! Of course he's hoping to be UK ambassador to the US. What a creep. An utter lack of integrity. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

HEY! - all you people who hope to influence me to buy your goods or services... if I find that you are being subservient to Trump or in any other way being sociopathic... I WILL find an alternative.

Some are saying - was it that Badenoch disaster? - that UK should pivot towards America rather than Europe. Bugger that! Trump would ditch us in twinkling if he thought it would fill his sweaty pockets. A united Europe is our natural partner, economically and militarily. Not easy, but worth it.

Wanna know what I think? Vaccines do and have done infinitely more good than harm People in authority who discourage use of vaccines are guilty of allowing spread of diseases Parents who refuse to have their kids vaccinated are guilty of neglect.

Every single day - More Malignant Mayhem from the Mango Mussolini. Much of it illegal All of it stupid.

Any Americans out there willing to answer three questions? 1. Why do you tolerate Trump enriching himself at your expense? 2. Why do you tolerate Trump making things worse for everybody but the already-wealthy? 3. How will you, personally, be better off when Trump has enacted all his policies?

robertreich.substack.com/p/a-view-fro... Well worth a read, absolutely nailed it, Mr Reich!

And so it begins… Foolish Felon 47’s First Footlings. So far, the results of plain ignorance, flawed and shallow analysis, and utter malevolence. Buckle up, chaps! (Sorry about this, grandkids-in my defence none of your grandparents or parents ever voted fascist or anything close)

Well, I suppose Europe including Scandinavia + UK COULD do the right thing and band together to blunt the climatological, geopolitical, and economic impact of the Evil Ones who now rule too much of the world… But I’ve seen too much of how too many of my fellow Earthlings think. Prognosis poor.

Dear American Working Class - are you brave and savage enough that, once you realise that the Orange Madman has sold you out to rich people and corporations, you will take effective action? Or will you be happy as modern-day slaves?

Why are you Americans OK with utterly inexperienced, incompetent, and reprehensible people being given power over important departments of State? See: Hegseth And why are you OK with blatant hypocrisy? See: Johnson on disallowing proxy votes despite having used them extensively himself.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve pretty well written off the USA as a haven of democracy, at least for the next few years. In fact I’m by no means sure that democracy itself will survive as a political system. Evil rich twats will be our rulers I’m not sure what to do about it.

What greater disrespect could Trump and Musk show their supporters than constantly hosing them with facile lies, assuming that they are too stupid to spot it?
