I am reading that Trump's trailer trash fight on the WH lawn on 14 June is running into huge problems.

The weather is a worry (rain, lightning) but particularly the massive lights on the monstrosity attracting gnats bugs and even bats. Sounds like a fun night, not. I imagine if they are plagued by bugs, that'll be Obama's fault of course.

I wish them plagues of insects and that awful drenching rain with 95% humidity afterwards. Of course, Scrotus will probably be watching from the AC'd WH or in some kind of bulletproof AC'd VIP box.

You know, the South (where DC is located) is one of the most beautiful parts of this country, so lush and green. Southern cuisine? Oh Yum! And 'Southern Hospitality' is real and wonderful. I'd live there but for three reasons. First, their political conservatism. Second and third, the humidity is a killer and the bugs are horrific. Huge bugs, teeny bugs, invisible bugs (noseeums, those nasty beggars). And it seems that all of them either bite, sting, or swarm around your face in droves.

Of course, there are also tornadoes and hurricanes. But we have earthquakes and wildfires, so that part is a draw.

The most dangerous ideology being the far right MAGAnauts.

"Sadly, today, different European beaches are stormed by different, dangerous ideologies. Beaches in Spain, Italy, Greece and Bulgaria, boats and men arrive," Hegseth said in a speech at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer."

Bulgaria? The only trouble Bulgaria has is the use of its country to supply small boats.

Such is the familiarity with said poster and MNHQ reporting that they have even advised I contact "Justine".🙄

I usually refer people to my boss when I agree with what they are saying but have to follow instructions from the big boss that I disagree with. It adds weight to my argument.

It's always worth going up the chain in these cases.

L1ttledrummergirl · 06/06/2026 14:57

He's a badly educated, emotionally stunted, ignorant, stupid, over opinionated, poor excuse of a man. I would expect nothing other than this bullshit from him.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 06/06/2026 14:58

The man is ignorant and completely lacking in class, couth or civility.

A question for news watchers.

Limited news where I am as many know. I just wondered if any news watchers can say if US VP Vance ever says anything about the country he is VP of ?

I remember he suggested protestors in the US are funded agitators, but so far as the US goes, that seems to be about it. The only other times I see him is the news he is either doing political campaigns for other countries elections (Orban), criticising NATO, having a go at the EU, complaining about healthcare in Greenland, having a go at The Pope. and now blaming UK immigration policy for a crime committed by a UK citizen... in the UK.

Is he actually involved in US politics at all ?

Or am I just getting the wrong impression based on the news I can access ?

I think Vance is trying to 'delicately' start positioning himself for 2028. It's going to take a long time if he wants to get the taste of "JD as Trump's sycophant and mouthpiece" out of people's mouths and the stench out of their nostrils. And IMHO Vance is going to have stiff competition from Rubio. And I wouldn't care to bet on who Scrotus will endorse, if he endorses anyone.

The primary season for the presidential election commences in Jan 2028 with NH and IA, 573 days away. 'Campaign season' for the last 4 presidential elections started 531 days prior to the election. It's going to be an uphill battle for Vance and he knows it, so the first step in his 'game plan' is probably to fade into the background of Scrotus' antics and stupidity.

AcrossthePond55 · 06/06/2026 15:05

"You know, grass has a life also. Like people, grass has a life, and that grass hasn't been changed in the last 70, 80 years."

Yeah, Scrotus, so do you arsehole. So do you.

How very dare he.
No class, no respect, no understanding of D-Day and what happened.

Hegseth uses his D-Day anniversary speech in Franch to take veiled shots at NATO and European immigration policies.

Are the twats taking it in turns to piss people off? They're probably having a bet to see which of them rouses the greatest ire for their twattery

I see Trump and his toadies are laying the groundwork to dispute results in California if things don't go their way.
I expect this is a dress rehearsal for the Midterms so that he can declare a landslide victory if it wasn't for all the "fraud"

Current standings.

I think it's possible for Steyer to overtake Hilton, but I don't think it will happen.

I think if it's Becerra/Hilton (GOP), then Becerra will win in Nov. But if it's Becerra/Steyer I think all bets are off.

Steyer may talk the 'man of the people' talk but at the end of the day he's still a billionaire. At this point I don't trust any billionaire to have my interests at heart.

I sort of view things by risk. And same as Trump, graphic representation works for me. AND WOULD YOU BELEIVE IT ! There I was this afternoon thinking about Europe. And I had just started to make up a risk assessment form. Because you know. why not ? And it's raining out.

Attached is a clip of where I was up to. AND WOULD YOU BELEIVE IT ! It appears to be relevant to your post.

I can heard the phrase "compensating control" asking to be let into the chat.

I have no idea what that means. I had to look it up.

And after looking it up, I still don't know what it means.

Is a gun classed as a compensating control? Asking for a friend.

Looks like maybe it's just me then. Who sees a project RAG form and immediately looks for the wrinkles.

I just used colours because it was easier.

And Trump likes colours too.

Difficult to know exactly to whom you are referring, @L1ttledrummergirl, it could be one of so many in today’s White House..

L1ttledrummergirl · 05/06/2026 20:18

There's only so many times and ways you can refer to Trump and his sycophants as stupid theiving bastards fucking the world over and wonder how the hell Americans are letting them before you need to conserve your energy.

Every day it's the same, lie, contradict, lie, fuck something up, lie, walk away leaving a mess, lie, rinse and repeat.

This administration is an utter disgrace, they look stupider every day (something the rest of the world thought would be impossible) yet they are allowed to continue with the corruption and removal of human rights and dignity.

Nothing the outside world says makes a difference, and those in the country who could are choosing not to.

What more is there to say that hasn't been said. America doesn't care.

Belatedly, I agree wholeheartedly with you, @L1ttledrummergirl, which is why I feel the need to post “lightheartedly” on these threads, as taking it seriously takes me (and probably a lot of you) to very dark places.

Wasn't he planning on a dynasty? I think DonJr is getting the nomination.

That's an interesting thought. I can 'sort of' see Scrotus putting him forth as a potential candidate, but I don't think 'Lil Donnie has a chance of the actual nom.

I think deep down Scrotus realizes this. And I think that in actuality he's going to endorse a 'viable' candidate who he thinks is the most likely to 'deify him' and who vows to 'continue his legacy'. I don't think he'll care if that person continues his political legacy (such as it is) as long as he says he's the 'best POTUS we've ever had' and praises his golden gilding and golden statues and such to the skies and vows to keep those things as a 'testament to this great, great man' (ie the ballroom, arch, etc, picture on everything).

Of course, I still don't put it past him to try to run a third time. I know, Constitutionally that's not possible. Won't stop him trying though. Not that he'd really expect to win, he just wants the publicity and the attention.
