Are you working on an assumption that more Americans could find Cuba on a map ? I don't think that's ever been proven.

I don't think he's ever actually 'clocked in'. He's like a toddler careering around the house, leaving dirty handprints on all the walls. And apparently I'm not the only one thinking this.

Excellent point. And to be honest. I can't disagree.

So a win for you :-)

I consider myself shot down in flames.

"While Trump's numbers remain better than Biden's were at this stage — Biden faced 54 percent doubting his mental sharpness in February 2022" doesn't seem to fit with "56 percent doubt his" [Trump's] " mental sharpness". 56 is more than 54, isn't it?

Perhaps they mean overall numbers?

There is actually a CNN article with more number comparisons. I was able to read it earlier but now it's behind a paywall for me.🤷🏼‍♀️

Trump has to be bigger in everything

There's a Gold Coast in Australia? And you're going to have a Trump Tower on it? I suspect you'll be added to the annexation list ASAP. Keep your eyes on the Sydney Opera House. A quick renaming and an additional ballroom could be just what it needs.

Isn't this a bit 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'?

This is from (checks notes) Pete Hegseth, the Princeton undergrad and Harvard master’s alumnus.

Secretary Hegseth announced this afternoon that DOD will cease ALL graduate study by military personnel at universities including MIT, all the Ivies, Stanford, etc because such schools teach "the enemy's wicked ideology" to officers.

The Gold Coast better watch out:

"A failed luxury real estate development announced in 2006 near Rosarito, Baja California, that left over 250 investors with lost deposits totaling $32 million and no construction completed. The project, intended to be three luxury towers, was cancelled in 2009 after only a "big hole in the ground" remained." (Times of San Diego)

(I remember this. It was quite a scandal)

I thought I would look up to see the status of the hospital boat to Greenland. Found this :

Bricklayer Behind Trump’s Plan to Send a Hospital Ship (politicalwire.com)

"Jørgen Boassen, a 52-year-old Greenlandic bricklayer who last year helped organize Donald Trump Jr. visit to the island, says he was the one who inspired Jeff Landry, governor of Louisiana and Trump’s appointed Greenland envoy, to propose the idea.”

“Boassen, unknown to the Greenlandic public until early last year, has become a controversial figure for his outspoken pro-Trump views and regular outings in a red MAGA hat. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, he said he was staying overnight at Landry’s mansion in Louisiana last week as part of a cultural exchange during Mardi Gras when the governor asked what the U.S. could do for Greenland.”"

Good to see POTUS is making fact based policy /s

:-)

Reports of joint US/Israeli attack on Iran

Here we go again…

It's all about peace 🙄

Has congress done the war declaration thing ?

I doubt it.

Pathetic feckers - think they're in a Marvel movie.

Oh FFS.

Always at the weekends.

Subversive intern at the Dept of War?

Dozens of planes in holding patterns over the Gulf and surrounds. ATC scrambling to reroute them.

Personally I feel sorry for Melania. Trump will have given himself a semi.

I often wonder if a lot of the problems with the current UK government are because they must spend half their time with their head in their hands thinking "oh fuck, what's he gone and done this time".
