Sounds suspiciously like a homemade award for your young children after they completed their reward chart - sometimes found in infant schools to make sure all kids can have something at some point even if they wouldn’t get one for anything specific.

Are they taking the Michael? Or do they genuinely believe he deserves all the gold?

I bet he has a sticker chart.

@MsJinks got there before m😂 e

Just to clarify for the odd person who might be new to these chats this in no way means I support the Iranian regime.

If you are not dim, you can comprehend without condoning.

This is where the knuckle draggers of the Reform variety struggle. It seems to them if you do understand, you automatically condone. This is why they believe they have so much support. Because a lot of people obviously comprehend that they are racist cunts they must automatically condone them.

Yup, sticker chart.

They don't believe he deserves gold; they believe this is an effective way to manage him.

'I Hope You Realize How Ridiculous The Four Of You Look': Whitehouse Loses It On Trump Nominees

(That's Senator Whitehouse)

Ah, the inaugural "Golden Sphincter" award...

Are they making specialist "moulded and cast from the original" Gold Medals of this to hand out to lucky recipients?

🥇

eta - at least it's not the Francis Scott Key Key...🔑

Wow. They really don't want a fairly wealthy person who doesn't look waspy to attend.

Surprised England aren't on the list...but it's 11wks away, that's enough for at least 5 more lots of "two weeks". 🏆⚽🐓⚽🌮

Whilst coming over fairly ‘flat’ in voice/person I do (my kids say) own a face with subtitles- I can’t imagine how to do these trophies, bigging up, stuff without letting my thoughts on it be known.

Though it seems his sycophants, or pragmatic staff, depending how you want to term them, do so easily - I think maybe they imagine he’s just a small child and this latest ‘trophy’ seems to evidence this. Can you imagine their what’s app chat and collaboration on ‘ideas to make mango man happy’ - maybe there’s a comp between themselves as to who does the bestest and bigliest for him.

Just all ewww.

Wow.

That was important far beyond the hook of Senator Whitehouse calling the judicial nominees ridiculous.

He takes the nominees through the laws relating to utterances of threats; they all agree that there are specific legal doctrines which can assign responsibility to people behind the person who utters the threat (solicitation, conspiracy, RICO).

Then he tells them that the US Marshall Service, which is supposed to deal with threats to federal judges and whose job it is to investigate behind the utterer (where evidence justifies), has in over a dozen cases refused to answer Yes or No when asked whether it will in fact investigate the people behind the utterer.

Little fires ...

The thing is, this is an authoritarian state he is talking to. He might think he is a ruthless hardman. But who he is talking to/about literarily are.

"NO TURNING BACK"

In this context, that can only mean one thing. And if he is talking about that with his generals and lackeys, Congress needs to act.

The law of unintended consequences.

For all the bitter pleasure of laughing at Trumps idiocy, it's overshadowed by the anticipation that if - or when - he realises that he's been duped, the reaction could really be fearsome.

I have no faith that the US military is capable of saying no if he were to order a nuclear strike.

Yup. We won't forget Donald.

Surely his advisors advise him that there are different cultures/ways of negotiating with differing countries.

He really does assume there’s only him that is right, decent, bigly amazing - just imagine having such immense self belief!

I expect this will give future psychologists so much material for papers and experiments.

Surely his advisors advise him that there are different cultures/ways of negotiating with differing countries.

Why would he listen ?

Unfortunately Trump’s cronies appear to be advising him to finish this off, as they continue to make millions on the stock market by miraculously somehow knowing to buy or sell stocks just before Trump makes announcements/. There are thousands of additional US troops on way towards Middle East so I wonder if US will actually invade. Feel so sorry for the people of Iran, Gaza, Cuba etc

People like him remind me of the greatness that exists in the States too.

It's an eloquent elegy as the US sinks into oblivion.

And why would his advisors even bother trying to advise him.

I am reminded of an old joke. A council road worker wins 5 million. Local news interviews him and he says. " I will never work another day in my life. I will stay on with the council"

Surely all the advisors, annalists and experts are basically on attendance money by now. It's not is if they will actually be allowed to do anything.

• An airstrike has killed Alireza Tangsiri, commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps navy, responsible for keeping Strait of Hormuz closed, Israel announced

Trump has to do it in line with Polymarket insider betting timing,to ensure he and his pals make the most money.

I saw that. I thought Trump had told Israel to stop killing them so there are people to negotiate with ?

Pakistan has apparently talked to Israel and asked them to amend their "kill list". To remove a foreign minister from it because that is who Pakistan are talking to.

What a total clusterfuck. How can Iranians even talk on the phone if calls are traced ?

" Minister, I have JD Vance on the phone". " What, you answered the fucking phone ! EVAVUATE !"

The Iranians might point out that they were negotiating and had pretty much agreed to an acceptable deal when somebody started raining holy fire down on them.
