*Sorry, messed my acronym up - FOTTFSOFATFOF (I may have made it up.)

Listening to Pod Save America over the weekend, they confirmed my fear that The BBB has been written in such a way that the main cuts to healthcare (which will actually impact a large % of MAGAs) don’t actually kicking until after the Midterms. So they totally screwing Vance over (upside) but it will be hard for the Democrats to run against something that hasn’t happened yet.

Good interview with Congressman Seth Moulton on today’s TRIP Leading. He says plenty of Republicans are saying they hate Trump and what he’s doing behind the scenes/in private meetings, but they’re all a bunch of cowards who won’t say anything publicly. He also said that, so the story goes, many of the reported “bust ups” between Elon and Lil’ Marco were over cuts to USAID, which Rubio was a big supporter of in Congress, but again he likes the power of being SoS too much to actually do anything about it.

Thanks for the new thread.
Any protests planned for Trump's visit here in UK? Sorry if already discussed on previous thread, my phone can't load any posts past 20 pages or so due, I guessing, to the amount of photos/links stored on the thread by then.

No idea who they are but 💪

Parliament will be in recess. No Biglys required. Sympathy - unusually for me - to the Royals. Bet he puts his arm round Kate or Camilla.

The Stop Trump Coalition has called a 'mass demonstration' for Wednesday 17 September, the first day of Donald Trump's state visit to the UK

The protest will assemble at London's Embankment at 2pm and march to a rally at 5pm (location tbc)

There should be.

I went last time, it was good natured with some hilarious placards

I may have mentioned it before ( @CaveMum ) but I do hope His Majesty has a nasty rash on his hand between 17th and 19th September.

@Jaichangecentfoisdenom tbh, the first two letters are enough for 🍊🌮

@Serpentstooth I hope they both knee him in the nads slap him.🙏🏻

Sorry Duncin just read your post... good to hear there's another March.

@BustingBaoBun Hmm, designing placards...that could be fun. Maybe we can have an in-house (or in-thread) competition? A4 sized "mini" version with no copyright and no prize. 🤔

I imagine there will be lots of costumes too, 🍊🐓🌮 ones...😁

For older protesters, Mrs Slocombe says Hands Off 🐈

I think that he Epstein stuff is because in the capturing of MAGAs, that starts with small conspiracy theories- chem trails, royals are lizards,the elite are lying to you, vaccinations will kill you, 5g waves will make you sterile, the Clintons eat babies and worship the devil,- they throw in some particularly disturbing ideas, the sex trafficking scandals are a part of it, along with the Epstein files.

Those people who have been drawn in, have been led to believe that Trump will fix it all. He will get out the bad people establishments and make everything right again.

Him not only refusing to release these files, but potentially being in them, is a huge dose of reality that hits like a wave. If he's lied about this, his biggest promise, the lynchpin that it all revolves around,what else might not be true?

Ghislaine Maxwell's appeal is beginning soon.

Just thinking about the MAGA mindsetmales my brain hurt. To anyone without the MAGA virus, Trump's involvement is plain to see. Not just his general duplicitous lying character, but a quantity of video and photographic evidence of him in company of JE and his accompanying harem, his 'judging beauty pageants', his comments about many and various young women - even his own daughter - who have been unfortunate enough to cross his path. He is simply, utterly vile. MAGA knows all this. And loves him, apart from this Epstein blip. No doubt he'll slither out of it, blame Biden and be re-sanctified.

Sorry to quote myself, but further to my above, I have just read this article with interest and disgust: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/07/trump-diplomacy-flattery-europe/683471/?gift=e2u7q4bY0aDA8U4mEoqTWXwsn4FrzT3fazFsnRo8QME&utm_source=copy-link&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share

Yes, have noticed this. Thanks but can't open the links for fear of vom. Hurrah for Mark Carney, a man with a stiff spine and unbendable knee. Seems to be the only one.

Rutte is back in the WH today

Rosie O’Donnell hits back

And so my crush on Carney continues…

Don't fret, we can share😀

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows the Trump administration to move forward with the abolition of the Department of Education. It gives no explanation for its order. All three liberals dissent. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25997474-24a1203-order/

From Sotomayor's dissent:

Can that be a throuple?! 😂

(no idea how to spell throuple, don;t want to google it in case it throws up something dodgy 🤣)

Sorry but he is a fellow toffee, back of the queue for you all.

Trump got booed last night

https://eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/soccer/2025/07/13/trump-booed-chelsea-fifa-club-world-cup-trophy-celebration/85137741007/

He also kept the trophy, FIFA had to get a replica

Think it’ll be a quadruple.

If only there had been some sort of clue before the election that Trump had some morally and legally questionable sexual practices and a tendency to lie about everything then MAGAs wouldn’t be in such a quandary. I mean who could have guessed that Trump would let them all down.

Rosie O’Donnell needs to get some threat to humanity merch sorted out.
