“Whether you’re a military analyst or a political analyst, whether you’re in the Democratic or Republican party, there’s a reality here. Donald Trump has met the moment of truth. The kind of fictional life that he’s led and evoked over the last four or five decades has now been unmasked as a deadly drama. It’s going to cost the lives of so many people. It’s going to devastate the US economy and the regional economy. It’s going to set back America and its standing in the world. It’s a horrific moment.”
Larry Jacobs, director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Governance at the University of Minnesota.

Thanks for the new thread. I'm placemarking with some personal news. I had a mammogram this morning and it was all clear. I'm still cancer free.

Great news 💝

God is saving you for something 😆

I LOVE that!! I hope Trump reads it.

Though I don’t think there’s any evidence to call him a paedophile. I’m sure he ‘partook’ of the many women procured by Epstein, but there’s no evidence that he abused children. .

"Though I don’t think there’s any evidence to call him a paedophile. "

"Paedophile adjacent" is the modern vernacular. A phrase which was clearly developed to goad someone into suing and arguing over the literal or metaphorical meaning of "adjacent" when a photograph of two people adjacent to one another is shown and one is a known paedophile

One for the bingo card
bombing Kharg island a second time just for fun

BustingBaoBun · 01/04/2026 14:25

I hAve thought all along that bombing Iran was a distraction from the Epstein files. You cannot have your name 38,000 times in the files without it being very sordid and incriminating

Trump said Iran has asked for a cease fire!

I really wish the PM or some senior cabinet members would actually say what the vast majority of UK citizens probably think, Trump should stop slagging us off, fight his own war instead of throwing his teddies because sensible grown ups refuse to join in and basically go forth and multiply and shove his war,his Secretary of war and his vile whitehouse spokesperson up his fat orange backside. But of course they won’t, instead they send the king with , doubtless, instructions to tell Trump how he is the greatest person alive and he is beyond doubt the greatest president the US has ever had. Do us all a favour Donald, tale a leaf out of Lincoln’s book and go to the theatre

Tempting though that is, the quiet men in suits approach will prevail.

Justdancevance · 01/04/2026 15:10

best thing to do with Trump is to distract him with some wind farm off his golf course. He doesn’t care about people but he cares a lot about his things.

Or a statute of Obama outside the British embassy, he’d be able to think of nothing else.

@RedTagAlan a few other suggestions:
My sheets have to be burned after one use.
I completed a round of Golf in 17 shots.
Melania, my tan is fading.
The moon is all mine, it's gonna be painted in stars n stripes.
Fetch me more diet Coke.
The Joint Chiefs know I can do war better than them.
That English King guy, he's coming here to pay homage to me.
I slept with Diana first.

Iran’s New Regime President, much less Radicalized and far more intelligent than his predecessors, has just asked the United States of America for a CEASEFIRE! We will consider when Hormuz Strait is open, free, and clear. Until then, we are blasting Iran into oblivion or, as they say, back to the Stone Ages!!! President DJT

AcrossthePond55 · 01/04/2026 15:28

Busy day for Scrotus

He's currently attending the SCOTUS session on birthright citizenship. I can picture him there doing his signature 'glare'. It remains to be seen if he'll be leaning on a table with his fists planted to make himself even more 'threatening'.

Address to the nation tonight on Iran war. He's already said it will be over 'in 2-3 weeks'. What will he say tonight?

(Nothing new in this update. It's just that I love the photo that CNN chose to use.)

Stone ages already ? Has the Bingo started ?

I was thinking about doing a card for Trumpsters. But I just had a look at "another thread" and caught sight of a wee branch post.... nah.

I clipped the TRUTH from Sky. att

Oh, and today is the launch of the Artemis II. Estimated lift off 6.24pm EDT. The last manned flight to the moon was the Apollo 17 moon landing in 1972.

https://www.livescience.com/space/live/artemis-ii-launch-wednesday-april-1

I don't know why I'm so worried about this. Probably because he's pushed for it as part of his 'legacy'. It just feels as if it's been rushed.

I'd say 'Amen' @SerendipityJane , but I know you aren't a believer lol.

Oddly enough, at this time when oil is being fought over there are three manmade islands containing oil pumps in Long Beach Harbor CA that are named after the Apollo 1 astronauts. The 4th (Freeman) is named after an astronaut who died in a jet crash in '64i

For oil pumps the islands are quite attractive.

On other things:

@RedTagAlan You may want to find a place on a bingo card for 'Disloyal SCOTUS' if he doesn't get the ruling he wants on birthright citizenship. Although I can't imagine even him thinking there will be a ruling today. Actually, I can imagine it.

In fact, I can see his whole Iran speech tonight turning in to a diatribe on SCOTUS or just the birthright issue. Sort of 'the last thing he hears becomes the first thing on his mind'.

No video of the session, but arguments are being broadcast on both CNN and MSNow. Not sure for how long.

Artemis isn't actually landing on the moon, it's doing a figure of 8 around the back of it.

Not sure why it's being billed as "going to the moon", it's like me "going to london" and just doing a lap of the M25 at night.

I have " expand SCOTUS" and "nominate Ted Cruz SCOTUS". Is that enough :-)

I do agree, I think he will announce something re SCOTUS. This will be his enabling act, as I posted above. He wants his previous picks gone. I think he will pack it.

Nah. Because nobody has been near the moon since the 70's, So not like the M25. More like Milton Keynes.
