Trumplethinskin wants his Situation Room photo because it most definitely rained on his parade - Trump thread #145

All he’s done is lie since he came down that escalator.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Here's the New York Post story. Very interesting.🤔

https://nypost.com/2025/06/17/us-news/sergio-gor-trump-aide-who-vets-thousands-of-staffers-hasnt-been-fully-vetted-himself-sources/

The name Sergo Gorokhovsky does sound a teensy bit Russian I will say,! No wonder he changed his surname to 'Gor' and is reluctant to submit security details...

Has anyone told him being able to name some countries doesn't get you a Nobel Prize?

If so, I'd have quite a collection myself. 🏆
🍊🌮

Haha yes!

Every time I see him on Air Force 1, (or whatever it's called,) coming out the toilet and rambling away, I think... America what the hell have you done,?

Nobel Prize my arse, he's the laughing stock of the 🌎

Pakistan have nominated him for the Nobel.
Yes, really. 😱

It's not like they are trolling India, oh no 😀

And trolling the rest of us, too. 😂

I usually rate Brian Krebs, so if this really is from him then it's Very Interesting Indeed.

Sergio Gor: Trump aide born in Russia?

Investigative cybercrime reporter Brian Krebs is a big deal in investigating cybercriminals, especially Russian cybercriminals. He found something very interesting by searching data breach records:

• Gor once used the rather unique and long password: 961649507273 for his email address, s[email protected],
• Coincidentally, that same password was used with a few other email addresses, including:
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected]
• [email protected].

In case you don’t know, .ru means domains were registered in Russia. And the odds that someone with a very similar name would use the exact same and rather odd password is vanishingly small.
And one more thing: [email protected] has multiple entries
in Russian government databases for a Sergey Anatolyevich Goryachev,
DOB, Nov. 20, 1980, phone +79689210000. This person appears to have
lived in Saratov, RU and has a tax ID number.
This is not yet on krebsonsecurity.com, but you can read it on his Linkedin.

I bet he also has had Boris Johnson on speedial

Found you. Thanks for new thread.

Yes. One of my young people has Drill as a special interest. We watched Trooping on the Saturday & Trumps 'Parade' on the Sunday. There was a LOT of technical discussion. Even I could see the difference between the 'pinwheel' formation at Trooping and the shambling US Army, some of whom looked as though they didn't want to be there? (Or, rather, I imagine they'd like to celebrate 250 years of the Army in their own way, not hijacked by the Orange Buffoon.

As I said, the world knows that Trump can't rely on the US Army to run his little dictatorship.

It's one of the reasons the Nazis had to create the SS - because they couldn't rely on the regular army to do their political bidding.

I can see it now: TrumpTroopers

USA has 2028 Olympics? More 1930s parallels. Maybe Bigly Draft Dodger's birthday stroll is the model to pursue for the opening ceremony? Did you see him have the effrontery to salute the shambling troops. I'm not given to random violence but I could have happily slapped him. What an insult to the army. He's intolerable. Surely he can't last much longer?

I can see it now: TrumpTroopers**

You mean ICE?

I think they are more akin to the Gestapo.

For a country that's had 100 years to study where the Nazis went wrong, it's hard to believe many Americans actually learned anything.

That's the problem with living in a democracy. As those who experienced WWII pass away, the succeding generations take their freedom from oppression for granted and eventually forget the horrors of the past. My friends and I were discussing this recently. #Lest we forget.

The beauty of history though is that it affects us all.

Yes, we have mainly forgotten the path to fascist dictatorship. However so have the fascists. Remember they have watched and believed the same films. Why do you think it feels like we are living through a Hollywood blockbuster ?

So we have the incompetent trying to hoodwink the indolent. All very Wildean.

The deportation of dissent.

I hope this link works. Very interesting article, I thought. Parallels with Nazi Germany?

The Nazis learned from America, in at least some respects. That whole "one drop of blood" thing... and the KKK.

A lot of Americans were pro-Nazi – just as Mosley and co were in the UK until Hitler actively attacked us. They wanted America to come into the war on the side they didn't regard as their hereditary enemy. Lots of Germans, like Trump's family, were in the USA in 1939 and definitely didn't want to fight against their ancestral country. It took Japan bombing Pearl Harbor to get America to join in on the side they opted for.

It's been a bit of a virtuous circle ....

Luckily that fear that all Empires have - that they will become flabby - is a reality. (Possibly letting slip my Gibbon support here). There will be very unpleasant times. But eventually the beast will eat itself.

However, be aware that empire watching is for people who find paint drying too racy*. It doesn't seem to follow that the bigger and more powerful the empire, the quicker it falls. In fact I would suggest one trigger for an empire demise occurs when the people involved start thinking of it as an empire.

Debates about when the Roman Empire fell can result in very heated discussions. In sandals.

Ds and I were discussing this too. Our take is that Mr 'Bone Spurs' was trolling the military.

(sorry to be 'chipping in' with opinions on posts from days ago!)

All welcome! 👋
