On the "other threads" some suggest he is really clever, and the real stuff is secret, and and and. I spent the weekend on "other threads". I was told I am like a flat earther, I was accused of harassment, and they said I was "smitten" by a poster. All because I asked for evidence that backed up a claim made. Evidence is a "gut feeling" apparently. Same thinking process as Scrotus I suppose.

I can imagine when the turd is holding court in Merde de Lardo. Surrounded by his sycophants as an intel team enter to give a briefing on Iran.

"Oi four eyes, when were you last laid, nerd"

No wait sorry. I think that is Lindsey Grahams chat up line :-)

I’ve seen posts from these people - it reminds me of being on a dementia ward - but very scary there’s so many out and amongst us!

We could have a good debate re the gut-brain connection and how perhaps ‘gut’ gets less effective with UPF/poor diet - I’m not sure if Kennedy jr puts paid to this argument or is the exception proving it though - so much to unravel, so little time - but I don’t think there’s an end to find to the tangle anyhow!

I do actually have a gut (visceral and very repulsed) reaction to the orange man (and Farage actually), but I think I also see ‘evidence’ of his incapacity to govern (or run a bath) as in the insane ramblings I have heard from Trump - his mix ups of countries, his sharpie drawings, his suggestions of bleach injections etc forever!

I can accept folk think he’s great for various reasons, stubbornness, he does as he pleases etc but I still don’t have any idea how people genuinely believe he has a secret (brain) agenda that is saving the world (and worse those that see him being the start of the Rapture).

It is though like I see them being like this but just can’t wrap my head around it - like quantum mechanics so maybe that’s actually my brain just not being capable of seeing how fantastic he is I guess ha - well they can say so but I’ll never accept it!

JoshLymanSwagger · 30/03/2026 13:36

Oh, and attacking desalinisation plants - surely Donny Bone Spurs will be hauled off to a little cell at the Hague for that one?

MsJinks · 30/03/2026 13:37

Jeez - the time it takes to write my post re my views on Trump’s capacity - he’s done a better job than I did at least!

MsJinks · 30/03/2026 13:39

Just noticed Trump said ‘stay’ in Iran - has he got the military in there now? Or is it metaphorical?

TemporarilyCantDoMyself · 30/03/2026 13:44

I know we all know this here, but it still beggars belief that we basically have a moron in charge of the destiny of the human race. I just hate it. I hate how sanity doesn't prevail and all the craven, insane, selfish motivations of human beings put people like him and Pootin and Bibi etc etc in power.
I know it's a mundane thought but if we stopped spending money and resources on war we could actually sort out nearly all the fucking disasters facing ordinary helpless humans, green energy, feed and educate everyone blah blah.
Why is this not obvious to the morons in charge? Why? Why? I can't stand it. It drives me totally nuts every single day that people like Trump et al wake up in the morning and think the best use of their power is to fight each other, not feed the hungry and educate kids and house the homeless.
Rant over. For the moment, anyway. It's how I feel basically all the time. And utterly powerless to do much about it. Other than keep ranting, protesting, etc etc.
It sucks.

As everybody started feeling as you do - the helplessness - it leads to the obvious question "What is the point of democracy ?"

Yup. I am having a wee drink tonight. It's not enough to get drunk tho. Unfortunately.

And that is exactly why China and Russia wanted him elected.

Can you imagine anyone in either country protesting for democracy when they see what that fuck wit has done to it ?

No I also don't manage actual intoxication any more at nearly 71, I can't drink enough and it doesn't seem to work anyway so it's not worth trying.
I'm off to London in a couple of days though on my own where I will indulge in one of my very intermittent packs of cigarettes. I have always maintained that nicotine is a drug related to frustrating anger.
So there's that to look forward to (can't do it at home my DH disapproves heavily 😬).

US caught stealing Swiss money after being unable to deliver PATRIOT missiles and redirecting F-35 payments to circumvent Swiss government freeze

Looks like that is another country that will not be doing arms business with the US in future.

US circumvents Swiss payment freeze for Patriot air-defence system

The US has been redirecting Swiss payments intended for the F‑35 fighter jet to cover Patriot costs.

@Spandauer yes, is he dead yet is a kind of 24/7 background thought!
I just yearn for positive change, a turning of the tide, for all of us: all colours, races, men and women, old and young.
Freddie Mercury - This could be heaven for everyone.
Why can't they see it? Why are the very people who can't see it the ones with all the power?
I'm having a ranty day, obviously.
Bring on the cigarettes (Wednesday...😂).

Jaichangecentfoisdenom · 30/03/2026 14:17

Yes, @TemporarilyCantDoMyself - it’s our powerlessness that gets to me, however much we may rant and rave about these horrors and their ability to get away with murder unchallenged, the only people on whom this has an effect are ourselves, in my case (as I suspect in yours also), such high BP that I’m about to have an apoplexy.

Spandauer · 30/03/2026 14:28

Definitely not Spain's

Spain closes airspace to US military over Iran war, widening rift with US.
Spain’s defence minister confirms move and describes US-Israel war on Iran as ‘profoundly illegal and unjust’.

Nooo I'm sorry you've got high blood pressure, I think mine's ok, I was a veggie for a long time and had very low BP and although I eat meat and fish now I think it's just normal rather than high, certainly never been high when it's been measured.
I do yoga. And smoke! Mass of contradictions, I am.
Don't let it make you ill. We should all take good care of our precious selves, especially as we're the good guys! Anyway minute now when they pop their clogs - we inherit the earth. So stay alive! 😂

Do you remember the discussion we had about the possibility of seizing Iran's uranium? We dismissed it as absolutely insane and a complete no-goer.

Turns out the smartest President in American history thinks it's a great idea.

I keep thinking back to the staged assassination attempt. The main argument against is that someone died.

Life is cheap to Trump.

Thank god! Inflation has been halved! 10 days before a war crime lasted 5 days before he threatens it again!
