Trump was elected because the media of the past 3 decades have grown fat telling the luckiest generations in history how hard done by they are.

Hitler was elected because there was a ready made "stab in the back" myth to work with.

With no such ready made myth in the US (and west generally) the media had to spend two or three generations to invent and amplify it before it could bear the weight of Trump and Farage.

I dont honestly think.my mental.health could take it. I have never felt so despairing of the human race as I do at present.
And as I have said I have never been a political person but I think.we all have to speak out and stand up.against it if we can . Though I am aware my paltry efforts will have no.impact at all if course.

It’s bloody hard not to lose hope, but look at the people in Minneapolis and around the country protecting immigrants, running errands, ensuring children can get to school.

A lot of my American friends and relatives have stepped away from direct discussions on politics as it is just depressing. They cut down on news.

Yup, As Trump himself knows, and has stated, the MSM love him because he is so good for their ratings.

I am amused by people who still think the midterms will go ahead.

If they do, they won't matter.

There have been many reports in the UK of people who bought fucking enormous XL bullies - presumably against all advice - who have ended up partially eaten by them.

From what I’ve seen it was a real document released as part of the files but was part of a wider FBI tips document which aren’t necessarily substantiated and apparently frequently contain outlandish info about famous folk that isn’t true.

Thank you. It made me feel quite ill when I read it. Whoever made it up, which seems to be the case, is sick in the head.

Oh, that's triffic! I need to know: did ICE find his hat for him, or did someone rush out and buy him a new one? And is that his original backpack?

I wouldn't be so sure it was made up. Proving it is another thing entirely .

From what I’ve read, kind people bought him a new hat and backpack, as I think ICE had iced both originals.

That is wonderful 😊so happy for that sweet boy.
3800 kids still in detention centres, so a lot of work still to do.

I’ve been reading some of the Epstein files today, how the fuck is there not uproar all over the media. Accusations seem range from paedophilia to cannibalism and everything in between. If this is what they’re willing to release then what the fuck is hidden.

I suppose I am hoping it was made up. It is so disgusting and depraved.

Trump had teenage girls working at Mar-a-lago as masseuses, recruited by Maxwell

Sometimes, @SerendipityJane, I find I am too obtuse to understand what you mean.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 01/02/2026 18:47

Y'know, from the comments below it I think the people on that thar Reddit took that song straight.

"definitely not a cat"? Straight? Really?

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 01/02/2026 19:20

I’m afraid the people on Reddit are right. See his song from 2024 on Fox. fb.watch/E-o8-u8N4O/

Wasn't MTG the one who followed a survivor of a school shooting around in the streets heckling at him? Or was that some other Acolyte of Trump?

Yes. She harassed David Hogg, a Florida high school shooting survivor.

The BBC news are not covering Trumps involvement with Epstein- totally ignored any possible wrongdoing.

I know The Mirror covered the now deleted files, don't know of any other UK media outlet who did the same.

Could it be they're concerned that if they do it raises the "But what about Andy?" subject all over again. He's a perv, he's been 'sacked' (as far as KC3 can sack him), maybe the beeb thinks there's nothing more to be said? I'm not saying there isn't more to be said about Andy, just that the beeb may think it isn't going to get them the ratings.

Or perhaps they’re worried that Trump will sue them for $1,000,000,000. Again.

I've just seen this. First glimmer of hope I've had in a long time. I'm sorry if this has already been posted here and I missed it.
