Jet lag is a bitch

NACHO, NACHO Man - Trump Thread #164
logicisall · 15/05/2026 15:48

Re the removal of sanctions on companies buying Iranian oil; sanctions that were only announced on 24th April. It's beginning to look a lot like the extra 100% tariff on Chinese goods that went nowhere fast.

Trump looks like he just got bitch slapped.

And he has it going back again. Won't be as bad though because I think it's 5 days to get over it going from US to China. So he only had 2 days of adapting to the difference. So he won't have fully adapted. I think.

Can a double dose of jet lag in quick succession kill an elderly, demented, overweight arsehole? Asking for many, many friends...

Not surprised BYD are doing better than Tesla. They make a more useful range of cars and also commercial vehicles. A bus company in my city has a fleet of shiny (and ugly) new BYD buses (and no way of charging them, yet!).

Warren Buffet played a big part in BYD investment wise. He is out of it now though. I have no idea how that works. Being state owned and all that.

Can King Charles offer an urgent invite to UK in 5 days time just to make sure?

MushMonster · 15/05/2026 17:22

No please! Not at this present moment!
We are dealing with our very own drama here!
Charles has been busy giving a speech in Parliament, on behalf of the current government. And our current PM has quite a few requests for his resignation.

I am positive Trump will be mentioning Starmer's pickle in his next speeches. He is not Starmer's number one fan.

MushMonster · 15/05/2026 17:23

Send him to Japan, or India, or Germany, France?

Grift-a-go-go.

It's "Five Scandals Friday" Time
Much less delicious than "Taco Tuesday," we round up this week in grifting, corruption, and corporate coziness in the Trump era.

I see the Trump tower in ozz was knocked on the head. The Gold Coast one. The developer said the Trump name is now toxic. Odd really, because that's what people told the developer when he announced it last year.

BustingBaoBun · 15/05/2026 17:49

Well.. the bigly ballroom
The cost has tripled because he's building a massive bunker underneath it.

I watched the film "Downfall" the other day. It's the one where there's Hitler's last days having a complete meltdown and it's mocked up into Trump and his lapdogs. Always very funny in a scary way. I have never watched this film all the way through but my goodness it had echoes of what is going on in the US now.

If it's any consolation, There is no trace of Hilters bunker in Berlin these days.

I was in the building where the allies and Germans signed the surrender in 1945 today. It's a museum nowadays and very sobering.

When the deaths of those in government care becomes part of the process due to neglect or deliberate abuse dressed up as punishment then your society has failed. Whether it's one death or more, people should be questioning this and making real efforts to prevent reoccurrence.

How many have died in American detention sites this year? How is this acceptable to the average American in the street?
How many opposing it have ice killed?

The numbers may be different until MAGA consolidate, but the game book is the same as the one the fascists used in Germany in the 1920s/ 1930s. They just aren't quite as far along the road yet.

So agree

I have read some truly terrible reports.of those held in detention just because. No valid reason
Many have died and it will only come out in time

Kash Patel went snorkeling around the sunken hull of the USS Arizona, a battleship that still houses the remains of over 900 Americans killed during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

Not even the families of those killed are allowed to do what he did.

Absolutely disgusting.

I've been to the Arizona. My late father lost a friend on the Arizona. It is a place of solemn respect and mourning even 84 years later. It is a burial site, not a tourist attraction. To treat it with such disrespect....well I was going try to find an adjective, but it's Kash Patel. So there are no words.

Well, by Trump's logic the dead of the Arizona were killed in war rather than surviving, so they must have been losers. Which makes it OK for a MAGA sycophant to use it as a tourist attraction. This is how they think, we shouldn't be surprised that they act on it.

I’m reading ‘Prequel’ by the incomparable Rachel Maddow. Compelling, disturbing and enlightening.

The Guardian "With the president unusually quiet after his return from Beijing"
Yup, the jet lag has really kicked in.

I watched an interesting vid on YouTube about "why don't aides wake Trump up when he fall asleep on camera since it makes him look bad". The response was that waking a sundowning person can often result in greater confusion and agitation so they decide it's safer to leave him be. I guess he's been woken off camera and it hasn't gone well
