I’d like to know what exactly the line in the sand is that Trump cannot cross with the American people without bringing their wrath down on him & his criminal regime?! Is it annexing Greenland? Is it annexing Canada? Is it declaring martial law? Is it destroying Social Security? What is it?

Duckworth: How many nations are in ASEAN? Hegseth: We have allies in South Korea, Japan, and Australia Duckworth: None of those countries are in ASEAN

"Watch: George W. Bush declines to shake Donald Trump's hand at Jimmy Carter's funeral." Trump lacks any sense of decorum. Maybe Barack Obama was giving him some pointers when they chatted. www.rawstory.com/george-w-bus...

Trump, with Fascist and oligarchic backers, calls Europe "socialist". But Trump and MAGA are so extreme democratic values lie beyond their comprehension. Europe, while under threat from the far right, subscribes to core democratic values. Trump on the other hand is a pernicious insurrectionist.

They remember

I’m shocked, shocked to find Project 2025 types being appointed to the new Trump administration.

One point people are missing is if Trump fails Ukraine then the amount of money America will have to spend to increase American military presence in Europe indefinitely will be colossal. A total defeat for Trumps policies.

My favourite US Thanksgiving meme this year. What are yours? (Do I dare send it to all my MAGA family in the US?)

Is Sharon Stone right? Are all the individuals who voted for Trump completely thick, utter dotards with an IQ in single figures, who never ventured across their state line, don’t hold a passport and who think Jesus has been reincarnated into a fat, lying, narcissistic, rapist, fascist orange blob?

We need a design contest for the inevitable fake military costume Trump will wear at some point. I’m thinking in the style of Muammar Gaddafi but with lots of gold medals.

oh elon is so fantastic that he applauds the Trump policy that it will make illegal drugs more expensive, is that how we solution the issue of illegal drugs import and addiction and distribution ? where did Trump or Musk get their degree ? In kindergarten ?

XAU took a dive yesterday following Trump's selection of what Bloomberg News describes as "the adult in the room" in Scott Bessent as US Treasurer. Normality was restored in the early morning as soon as Trump opened his proverbial mouth again on Truth Social.

Since Gaetz resigned from Congress can he just be regular-prosecuted now?

JFK, remembered #OTD. When US presidents were presidential.

In words and actions Donald Trump is an amalgam of the worst from conservatives in the past 40 years. The blatant/subtle bigotry of Rush Limbaugh; the vapid clueless facts be damned ignorance of Sarah Palin and the pseudo intellectual rantings of Newt Gingrich. 50% of the U.S. voted for this. Yikes!

You have to be smoking the finest of crack to even think Trump is capable of being on a 4D chess mentality. That dude wanted Gaetz badly, and it blew up in his face. Hell it was a shock that he willingly stepped down. Funny that he cites it being that he didn't want to be a distraction.

He really made a tit of himself here. Well done to Victoria Derbyshire.

Yes, Rep. McGovern, this is in fact the Republican dream team.

TRUMP PRIVATELY PRESSURING SENATORS TO CONFIRM GAETZ Convicted felon and adjudicated rapist, Trump has privately admitted that his AG pick, Matt Gaetz, has low chances of getting confirmed by the Senate, but he's still pressing senators on the issue anyway. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

1.2 Millions Americans died because of his negligence, while he was sending our lifesaving supplies to Putin.

Where is Kamala Harris? There must be many who would like to see her succeed Joe Biden until January 20th.

"The Trump team is discussing plans to possibly adjourn both Houses of Congress...and then recess-appoint his Cabinet if he runs into resistance with these asinine nominees. No President of the United States has EVER attempted such an authoritarian maneuver." actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Curious to know what people who voted for trump to “lower the price of eggs” will say when the US food system completely collapses from trump’s violent and inhumane deportations

This Day in History... November 18, 1978: Mass cult suicide at Jonestown Let's be honest: If Donald J. Trump asked his supporters to drink his own special Kool-Aid, their only questions would be "what flavors are available?" and "is there enough for the kids?"
