If Trump's signature is going to be on US currency notes, it really should be on a 9 dollar bill

Re our "toy ships".

UK projected spend on US F35 is 71 Billion GBP. A massive chunk of that for the carrier planes. He effectively insulted his own planes.

Every utterance that comes out of his mouth is more ill conceived nonsense..

Watched some of the clips of yesterday's cabinet sycophant meeting.

I noticed the concertina hands were back (bigly) which I hadn't noticed for a while now. I wonder if it's when he's particularly pilled up on his uppers or whatever?
Later when Stinky Pete was emoting, Trump nodded off (again) and you could see that one side of his face was drooping. Also the back of his hand was discoloured (and badly camouflaged) again. He's definitely getting regular medical treatment of some sort but we'll never know the truth until he keels over ( oh, happy day) or if someone blabs like Trump did last week about the congressman (?) with heart failure.

The 🍊💩 is desperate to grasp at some cockamamie agreement with Iran so he can declare victory and then walk away leaving Netanyahu to continue his aggression in the area on his own.

I am horrified at this latest news from the UAE. Netanyahu/Trump continuing to pit Muslim against Muslim.

This seems to have been under reported?
As I've previously confessed, I'm militarily illiterate so no idea if this is significant?

Sophisticated drones attacked Louisiana’s Barksdale bomber base.
It is the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, something that never happened even in World War II.

This is more for the other thread but unfortunately saw a clip of Farage going on stage to light displays with some Zia Yusef asslicking tweet - so Trump it was scary - I can’t imagine why we watch the US and think ‘yeah, we could do with some of that’

The rise of Trump along with social media, AI and all the manipulation might be interesting- as long as you’re directed to lying soundbites will you never understand why folk criticise him? Are the theatrics giving the effect of a gambling machine ? Designed to be addictive after all.

Just pointless musing why all over again!

Replying to my own post. This thread and its comments seem to downplay the article. And take issue with the headline.

Yikes, here's a HUGE story that it seems not enough folks are reporting on yet. Drone swarms of unknown origin this month apparently attacked an important Air Force base—"the first time a US airbase was temporarily put out of operation in wartime, some...

Can't open the article, but yeah, any drone will shut an airport.

The UN Human rights are meeting. So the forecast is for a TRUTH storm.

Anyone else seen this? Re-tweeted by a UK ex-politician that N is dead.

Thomas Paine claims Netanyahu’s jet has been in Berlin for weeks and alleges that recent appearances are AI-generated, noting he has not been seen publicly since then.

BestIsWest · 27/03/2026 09:14

There was a rumour going around about that a couple of weeks ago.

logicisall · 27/03/2026 09:56

TBF, Trump's objectives have been consistent. To big up his strongman ego and make $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. Oh yes... and help his friend Pootin.🙄

Reform are getting desperate. No general election in sight and their polling is sliding. They're willing to do anything, but their pool of angry and gullible is not as large as a proportion of the population as it is in the US.

Another day another disappointment.
Mangopoop, Pootin, Bibi, Orbán, Erdoǧan, Fromage... all still alive.
Wouldn't it be marvellous if they all popped their clogs in quick succession? What a party we could have! 🎉🎇

RafaistheKingofClay · 27/03/2026 11:32

We could arrange an in person meeting in the style of all the Iranian top tier…

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 27/03/2026 11:43

Oo and Lavrov, for whom I have a particular loathing.
I'm sure there's many more but being expunged of that lot would be a start.

RafaistheKingofClay · 27/03/2026 11:54

More winning.
