WOW -- Danish reporter 'goes there' with Rutte

"You sit next to Trump when he talks about conquering Greenland, lashes out at allies like Spain -- things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?"

Rutte does not sit there saying nothing. He sits there heaping praise on him.

MARK RUTTE 00:11:50-00:11:53 (3 SEC)
But also that, that your allies get it, thanks to you, and that is important.

DONALD TRUMP 00:11:53-00:11:53 ( SEC)
Yeah.

MARK RUTTE 00:11:53-00:11:54 (1 SEC)
I could not do this without you.

DONALD TRUMP 00:11:54-00:11:57 (2 SEC)
It's too bad Biden didn't do it or Obama.

The sycophantometer is off the scale. These knobs can't recover from this. Any respect anyone had for them is totally gone.

Shame on Rutte.

I didn't vote for him.

And I am not sure I would vote for somebody who would.

I wonder how Count Binface MP will manage him ?

Hopefully by introducing him to his b~st~rd nephew "The Hon. Hydraulic Waste Compactor". With some force.

It’s a thought but who is the leader of Reform in Parliament then now? Do they not need one who is a sitting MP? Does Terrible Chicken Noise Tice take the reins?

Nato leaders agreed not to mention World Cup to Trump to avoid irritating him Confused

Ok, I admit to laughing at this. #don'tmentionthe_war!

What ships? Isn’t this the 3rd time the Iranian navy has been sunk? Does he think the ships just bob up again? Jesus Christ.

Still answering questions regarding Iran, a reporter asked Donald Trump if he will reinstate the US naval blockade of Iranain ports amid the resumed conflict.
The US President did not answer directly, but instead claimed the US took out ‘about 28’ of Iran’s ships last night.

Of course he does! Just like the little toy flotilla he plays with in the bathtub.

BruceAndNosh · 08/07/2026 21:22

From the above article
Trump’s team on 7 July made a detailed argument against releasing the funds. They said Trump had asked the supreme court to rehear his request for review of the case.

Has Trump considered asking Infantino to reverse this Supreme Court decision?

Spandauer · 08/07/2026 22:54

So is he going to appeal the appeal?

How the other NATO members can stay civil with 🍊💩 is beyond me. I would have had to tell him to shut the eff up... probably why I'm not in line to be employed by the UK's diplomatic corps anytime soon.

Yep. I'm not known for my diplomatic skills and I'm pretty sure "Fuck off you ridiculous piece of shit" would have left my mouth on more than one occasion. I know they do whenever the news shows the absolute crap that comes out of his mouth.

I really struggle to understand how someone that stupid is representing a country as big as America.

There is no appeal of a SCOTUS decision because they're the highest court in the land. There is no higher court to appeal to.

But (and isn't there always a but?) there are two further actions one can take. One can file a petition with the SCOTUS asking them to 'reconsider their decision'. Extremely rare and usually on the basis of substantial grounds not presented or intervening circumstances. The other is passing a constitutional amendment. I'd assume IF Scrotus is going to 'appeal', pretty sure since this was a civil case it will be the request for reconsideration, which are very rarely granted.

Of course, he'd probably want to amend the constitution to make himself constitutionally not liable for anything, ever. Yeah, that's not going to happen. Oh, I know!!! He can issue an EO!!! Yes, that's the ticket!!!

I don't think Elaine Chao is 'visiting' China. The word 'summoned' might be more appropriate .... and MTG agrees!!!

https://uk.news.yahoo.com/greene-accuses-elaine-chao-being-203037145.html

I looked it up.

"It was this revelation that MTG latched onto in recent comments, doubling down on conspiracy theories that have been widely shared among far-right figures.
"I'd like to say shame on the Republican Party for just basically staying silent while such a powerful Republican senator is basically lying in a hospital like a vegetable," MTG told TMZ's Jacob Wasserman in New York City.

"His wife flew to China and met with the Vice President of China just days after he basically died, and they brought him back with CPR," she said. "It doesn't surprise me from the establishment."
MTG then went on to double down on wild claims about Chao and McConnell, echoing similar comments by far-right pundit Laura Loomer, who alleged that the senator was "brain dead" and a cover-up was underway.
"I wanna call this out, this really irritates me: The Republican Party is all campaigning against communism right now, what about Elaine Chao?" MTG asked.
"Elaine Chao flew to China and met with the Vice President just a few days after Mitch McConnell practically died… so, when are we going to call out a possible communist Chinese spy?"

Hmm. As I said above, there is no " philanthropic endeavors" allowed in PRC without the Party being involved. No NGOs. Nothing like that.

Hmmmmmm.

Knowing what I do about the Chinese, I was very suspicious at the news. We will probably hear from a foil hat that she's there for a re-animating machine or a clone job! 😂

Has the war/not war restarted in ernest?
News from contact in Kuwait is that the level of attacks is comparable to the start of the war. By 01:40 UK time they had already experienced sixteen explosions.

CNN latest:
Here's the latest
• New strikes: The Middle East saw waves of attacks for a second day as the US and Iran trade strikes again, further threatening their fragile ceasefire. The US military said it hit 90 targets along Iran’s coastline. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said they targeted US military bases in Kuwait and Bahrain in response.
Threats traded: President Donald Trump warned Iran that the strikes would “get much worse” if it attacked more ships in the Strait of Hormuz, after saying he thought the ceasefire was “over.” Iran’s top negotiator said it would retaliate against any attacks, and that the strait “will only open with ‘Iranian arrangements,’ not American threats.”

I think that, even in this two way contest, Count Binface's chances are slim against Farage.

I hope Binface wins!
