Live cam shot taken moments ago (off my laptop) of the pool from top of the Washington Monument. 'Crystal clear with American Flag Blue' my arse. Same colour as the other murky waters in the picture.

I wasn't really expecting anything else, but it is nice to have it confirmed.

Apart from anything else, if it were absolutely fine why would they be planning to drain it again next week?

I’ve only just clocked this, apologies if it has already been mentioned here and I missed it, it is fairly old news in the scheme of Trump.

Still in the news! Canada paying to construct Gordie Howe bridge is 'big myth', according to Ambassador Pete Hoekstra and has nothing to do with the MAGA donor owners of the Ambassador Bridge (also according to Hoekstra). Trump said in February it's because Canada is meeting with China about trade.

'The cost of construction was funded by the Canadian government, to be paid for by bridge tolls. It was built by workers from both countries. The bridge will be owned equally by Canada and the state of Michigan. Construction of the bridge was completed in June 2026, but the opening of the bridge has been postponed at the request of the United States to resolve unspecified "outstanding issues".'

With Mexico playing 3 out of 4 matches so far at the Azteca (and the 4th at Guadelajara) there's definitely something fishy going on

Trump called Infantino on Wednesday to get Balogun's red card lifted. Nice to ride alon with Tyler Pager on what will be seen (and is) in many parts as one of the biggest scandals in World Cup history.

Thank you to FIFA for doing what was right, and reversing a great injustice! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Now we know for sure why the c*nt wears a nappy. It's so he has a handy supply of his shit to smear over anything he can. The knob must think his own shit is golden. But like the emperor's new clothes, most of us can see his shit is brown, and stinks.

RedTagAlan · 06/07/2026 05:34

Good game that.

Reading about the red card thing, a CNN article sums it up on the first line.

"For 24 days, the World Cup seemed to achieve a rare feat in America in 2026: It had almost nothing to do with Donald Trump."

Yup. Exactly that.

^Fed Reserve working paper suggests Biden illegal immigrant wave drove up home prices 30%: https://justthenews.com/government/security/fed-reserve-working-paper-suggests-biden-illegal-immigrant-wave-drove-home^

Anyone remember the pro Trump thread ? Or was it an ICE thread ? Anyway, I remember a discussion with a poster who has a "ringo" name, and they claimed Trump had brought housing rental costs down. That claim was fact checked on MN and shown to be false. Prices are regional of course, but it is actually Biden policy that caused a reduction ( Rentals anyway I recall). His policy was apt building, and there were loads built under Biden, and many are still being completed.

I can't open the link Trump posted, but I done a media bias check and surprise surprise, "

Questionable Reasoning: Conspiracy Theories, Propaganda, Numerous Failed Fact Checks
Bias Rating: FAR RIGHT (8.1)
Factual Reporting: MIXED (6.3)
Country: USA
MBFC’s Country Freedom Rank: MOSTLY FREE
Media Type: Website
Traffic/Popularity: High Traffic
MBFC Credibility Rating: LOW CREDIBILITY

In any case. I suspect that Trumps fans, being older in general, would be rather keen to see their property prices go up. Is this another own goal to his base ?

🍊💩 will be off to Türkiye for the NATO summit, hosted by his mate Erdogan July 7-8.

So expect more insults, threats, lies, misrepresenting of US's role in WWI and II, and general unpleasantness.

That is if he can stay awake after his bigly 250 celebrations and FIFA interfering.
