And Epstein and his beautiful files are still trying to claw their way out of his grave

Awwww, you guys! 🥰

Yes, I recognize your user name, @Errolwasahero, and in a good way - good to see you back here

This is embarrassing

The Trump administration wants you to stop watching the BBC and watch GB News instead. Meanwhile this is what passes for “journalism” on GB News…

He doesn't look or sound well today

That is... wow.

Is she taking the piss out of him? It's so bizarrely over the top that seems distinctly possible...

Ted Cruz' 2028 bid expertly analysed

I almost chocked n my prosecco at "JD Vance v Ted Cruz: The backpfeifengesicht primary."

And even FIFA gives in to Trump. "Safety grounds", lol.

In case the share link doesn't work

To save others looking it up ‘backpfeifengesicht’ means a face that needs a slap.

The World Cup is going to get very interesting if Trump does end up sticking his ugly orange nose in.
Are the matches already assigned to their cities/locations? (Even though they won't know which teams are playing there until the final draw)
Once we know which teams are competing and their groups, I can't see any of the countries (or their fans) being happy with a venue change at short notice given the way they set up their travel, accommodation and training camps etc. months in advance.

I suspect know Drumpf doesn't really understand football or its hold on the world.

Infantino is a tw*t of epic proportions.

Tickets are on sale already.

When asked if there was anything incriminating in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

I feel I want to refer to trump as 'piggy' from now on. Or does that sound too much like a term of endearment? Maybe just 'pig'?

'Hog' more appropriate?

MTG has come out swinging today!

From BBC

Greene - a former Trump ally - directs her fury at the president
published at 14:20

Greene is now calling out US President Donald Trump, after he recently branded her Marjorie "Traitor" Greene following her efforts to see the Epstein files released.

"I was called a traitor by a man that I fought for," she says, referencing Trump.
"I won my first election without his endorsement, beating eight men in a primary and I have never owed him anything, but I fought for him for the policy and for America first."

However, she says he branded her a "traitor" for "standing with these women and refusing to take my name off the discharge petition".

"Let me tell you what a traitor is. A traitor is an American that serves foreign countries and themselves, a patriot is an American that serves the United States of America and Americans like the women standing behind me."

It's ironic that Trumps downfall seems to be starting in the red states.

Maybe he forget who to keep close ?

I hate that I find myself agreeing with MTG. She is by all accounts a vile human being but in this she’s 100% in the right

Nothing to see here

NEW: When Andrew Tate landed in the US, Customs & Border Protection seized his electronic devices. But propublica.org found that a White House official told DHS to return the devices, emphasizing that the request came from the White House.

Well!! MTG is still on fire at the Epstein Victim's news conf.

She's not disavowing MAGA 'per se' at all, she's just vilifying SCROTUS. Maybe she sees herself as the new 'dear leader'?

For whatever reason, it's good to see one of SCROTUS' most staunch defenders 'turning her coat'. Even better is knowing that he must have steam coming out of his ears at her defection.

Wonder who, if anyone, will have the courage to be the next rat to jump the sinking ship?

Fascinating meme to slip into the narrative ...

"This isn't a party political issue. Once you get to a billion dollars you can buy any party, you can buy any government, regardless of party" (I paraphrase).

She's not disavowing MAGA 'per se' at all, she's just vilifying SCROTUS. Maybe she sees herself as the new 'dear leader'?

I think we really are seeing the slow divorce between MAGA and Trump. As they realise he could take them down.

MTG just want s to hold office. By any means necessary, to coin a phrase.

Fox News is not showing the Epstein Survivors news conference

Trump said 'quiet piggy' to a female reporter who asked about the Epstein files

And women are defending this pos.

Was it just me or was once of the reporters asking questions a Brit ?

Epstein survivor: "Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government still belongs to the American people or to those who prey on them."

@SerendipityJane

I don't think MAGA will ever completely go away. It's basically a re-formation of the old Tea Party (on steroids). Or at least, the former Tea Party-ers rallied to it.

They may disavow Trump and then will hopefully fade into the background. But at some point they'll emerge 'rebranded' with a new figurehead. But I don't think they'll ever find anyone like Trump, thank God.

Maybe they should rebrand as the 'Cicada Party'; they live underground, only emerge every ~18 years, make a huge mess everywhere, and make a horrible cacophonous din.
