To me it seems like Trump wants a deal WITH Putin more than he wants a Ukraine/Russia peace deal. I'm guessing it will include access to those minerals he wanted. Why else would he be willing to step on the toes of all of Europe? Something must be in it for the US/Him.

Trump has left a void that the EU and Britain must fill together Europe needs to act – and Brexit only hinders this essential response www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Every time DOGE shows up somewhere they don't have a right to be, call the police. I would assume they have no legal rights without congressional approval? They just become trespassers surely? Pursue charges against every single person who tries to obtain access they don't have a legal right to.

Canada... You, Mexico and Europe could make a pretty spiffy trading block. (UK, you might want to get in on this.)

Since they’re actively violating court orders now, how long until they face consequences (or not)? And if no consequences are brought, what is next?

2 sacked & 11 suspended councillors from Labour in last few days. They did something wrong, they're being punished. That's how accountability should work. It's good to see bad actions have consequences again in UK politics.

Trump & Musk have damaged the US more in a month than the USSR did in decades. I guarantee once all is said & done that the American economy & their world standing will be in tatters. And all of a sudden, an enemy will appear, a reason for war, big juicy money making war.

Why do all these US institutions keep just following all of Trump's executive orders when they obviously aren't legitimate or something he has power over? I'm honestly asking. Is there some magic power in that chicken-scratch signature that overrides Congress?

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

A great message delivered brilliantly youtu.be/eI14kcVT3vU?...

At what point do the UK (& other countries) see this for what it is? It's election interference by a foreign 3rd party. Musk controls X. He has 100% skewed the algorithm to the far-right and at this point it should be treated as propaganda. bylinetimes.com/2025/02/06/n...

Netanyahu gifted trump a golden pager. That's some psycho behaviour. It's not even a subtle hint about the attack against Hezbollah. Thousands of bystanders were wounded. Trump even reportedly said "That was a good operation" Surely this could just as easily be seen as a threat AGAINST Trump?

What? How very "lebensraum" of him. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Yeah, no.. I would rather ditch American products than be seen to align with the Tango Bandit. Now is the time for UK/EU relations to get back on track. I would rather weather a storm with my neighbours, than stand outside cheering the storm.

Nearly 250,000 people in Berlin showed up to protest fascism and the Musk backed AfD party.

What about those checks & balances?

Every dollar of USAID removed will be replaced by whatever country has the most to gain by being the country that helped when the US stopped caring. Trump is handing American opponents an open goal.

Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has urged Sir Keir Starmer to begin talks on a new UK-EU customs union when he meets European leaders in Brussels on Monday Sounds like a plan www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

When Trump instigates tariffs to get "a better deal for America". They just look like that noisy bully in the playground. The end result is potentially any good trading partner just avoiding them. Or worse, allying together against the U.S. Either way, any trust in US trade has been eroded.

Looks like it's time for Canada & Mexico to become VERY good friends.

The world wants a Horizon Zero Dawn prequel TV show. HBO quality, 18+, just absolute desperation from the Zero Dawn team and following some of Enduring Victory. There is so much story to be told.

Every right-wing podcaster discussing Elon Musk

I'm hearing about American dropping DEI guidelines. I'm sure that won't result in them hiring economically disadvantaged people, who will accept lower wages. Surely that's not what will happen? Surely they wouldn't throttle wages for the working class? No, I'm sure they won't 🤔

ACT UP, 1990

I'm not ok with people just attaching Autism to Lex Loser as an excuse for that salute. He paid $44b to ensure that Nazis could say whatever they wanted, and has pushed Shitter to the right at every opportunity. His actions are not due to Autism. They are, in fact, because he's a massive cunt.

One orange man, dooming our entire species. Please Americans, go green, stay green. Fuck that guy.

An early contender for headline of the year…

Atlantis: the lost empire is a GOAT. I will hear no objections.

I just saw someone on Reddit refer to Elon Musk as Lex Loser. I'm stealing that 100%. He's Lex Loser from now on. Now, we just need a Superman to show up.

I will choose a cold empty beach over a busy hot one any day of the week.

I would like a World War Z sequel, but a TV show. Closer to the book, anthology style, fake documentary vibes, interviewing & showing the outbreak in different places, how they handled it, etc. Ken Burns style but with zombies!

I really miss Stargate. SG-1, Atlantis & Universe. They were so much fun, I loved the concept of the Ancients & the Destiny ship. I would love a revival, or even a written continuation. So many questions still to answer.

youtu.be/uhUht6vAsMY?... YES

Pressure builds. They get quieter. Thoughts less malleable. So we offer ways out. We won't judge. We will flex. Until they are able to come to us. Cancel, change. We can always find a way. Without a sigh, without guilt. We make it safe to lighten the load. There's a solution, always.
