Back on US soil, an American citizen in a peaceful neighbourhood is gunned down by masked agents sent there to make people afraid.

Despicable, wretched people lying, lying, lying - all day, every day, about everything.

I wonder if Mi6/MI5 are choosy with what security info is shared now.

There has already been worries re 5 eyes, and I think we are at the point of public statements being needed.

GCHQ used to be essential to US intelligence as they weren't allowed to spy on US citizens.

Now they've scrapped the constitution and can do whatever they like without worrying about the law they clearly don't need GCHQ anymore.

If I were Starmer I would just call Trumps bluff and say "Since the US is so great on it's own, it doesn't need our help". Again in concert with Europe.

From Sky:

"Mr Trump has invited 60 countries to join the Board of Peace, but permanent membership will be available to those who pay $1bn."

It really is time to get the mental health professionals in.

And not merely for Trump and his minions, but all the international leaders who are enabling him to get away with this crap by not making a concerted effort to tell him he can go to hell and showing him they won’t be cooperating with this rubbish any more.

Spandauer · 19/01/2026 11:01

Just saw the Kremlin invite news... 🤯

For all Starmer's appeasing 'Nothing Burger' news conference this morning, I can only assume that there are Malcolm Tucker levels of expletives being uttered behind the scenes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

According to Trump "we" (USA) had boats landing on Greenland too therefore have as good a claim of sovereignty as Denmark.
In the early 1700s.
Before the United States actually existed.

Why get a little fact like the USA not existing get in the way of his truth?🤯

RafaistheKingofClay · 19/01/2026 11:16

Ok who booked Bad Bunny and Green Day for the Super Bowl? I’d expect a whole slew of tweets on this. And then probably an invasion of San Francisco.

I don’t have the mental capacity for all the other shit he’s doing right now.

And just WHERE does that $1bn entry fee go...?

DuncinToffee · 19/01/2026 12:08

1/About 1,500 active-duty soldiers, two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division, are under prepare-to-deploy orders for possible action in Minnesota. This means Donald Trump is actively contemplating invoking the Insurrection Act.

Meanwhile, Minnesota have put their National Guard on standby.

Ohh. That Carrier that left the Philippines heading towards the middle east ? I posted a few days ago, is it heading for the Gulf or the Canal ? I suspect it won't stop in the Middle East. I reckon it is going to the North Atlantic.

On the Super Bowl, I saw a CNN article today saying that Trump intends to ban all other football on the day of the Army v Navy game. All patriots to watch THAT game apparently.

It's just a coincidence that the network that has the rights to show the Army Navy game happens to be run by the son of a Trump pal, and a major donor.

Quite suss that someone who deferred his draft orders 5x, then got his daddy to pay a dr to write him a drs note to opt out altogether, has so much skin in the game when it comes to military football rivalries. 🧐

I suspect a large part of it is that it is the only game he can attend without being booed at. And if this game is the only one on the telly, everyone gets to see him be cheered as he mounts his golden viewing throne.

My DH actually apologised to me the other day for dismissing me previously! We were watching the film Nuremberg and he said it was the first time he’d noted the parallels.

Whatever people might think of Starmer and his Govt, it’s reassuring just to have a leader that doesn’t speak as though he’s a few branches short of a tree and evil as sin with it.

Yes. Disappointed seems like a nice way to feel, as opposed to terrified, disgusted and baffled. And raging with fury.

I love that. 'Permanent Membership'. I think the moron thinks it's like joining a golf club.

I can't do photoshop, but I knocked up this new Trump apparel idea on PowerPoint. Do the fashion experts think it needs the red hat ? I think the red tie is a no, for safety. But I suppose I could draw one on in MS paint.
