Oh Kane, playing golf with Trump

I saw that earlier and thought that the integrity and inependence of the DoJ has been truly compromised by the Trump administration. How it regains trust will be an uphill battle.

No-one will be able to act on his "instructions" - the new powers will be too busy dealing with the hurricanes, tornados and tsunamis generated by the global sighs of relief that will thunder across the planet when he is finally ushered into Satan's guest suite.

Sweet Caroline 😁 🤢

Even knitters don’t like Trump.

“Minnesota-based wool shop Needle and Skein designed a knitting pattern for what became known as its “Melt the ICE” hat. Posted first on Ravelry, the world’s biggest knitting platform, the shop charged $5 for the instructions, donating it all to local immigrant aid agencies. It has raised over $700,000 (around £530,000) by selling the pattern to knitters from 48 countries – and still counting.”

An acquired taste? 😬

Please tell me that is an AI generated image.🤐

Wouldn't be out of place in 1980's Atlantic City, NJ

Many Western economists and media outlets claim that Americans are wealthier than Europeans, but this is not true; it's based on a misunderstanding of the difference between average wealth and median wealth. Ben Norton explains how the extreme inequality in the US make its average wealth misleadingly look high, and why GDP per capita is not a good measurement. He debunks the myth of "Europoors", which is often spread by Donald Trump supporters.

He has had physical exam at Walter Reed and has requested another cognitive exam whichh he 'aced'

And had another go at Maggie Haberman

Unfortunately .....

And the FBI, who asked the NYT not to publish

Well the bridge is going to open: ...(unless it's the Hormuz II). We must have outbid the Moroun family.

The comments on twitter are hilarious (or would be if it was written by anyone but the POTUS) one of my favourites is from Aaron Rupar 'I ain't reading all that. I'm happy for u tho. Or sorry that happened.'

'Political athlete' - eh?

Some of what Canada had to give up to open the Gordie Howe Bridge, as per a Canadian government source.

For the first 15 years, Canada gets 50% of toll profits and the other 50% goes into a regional "economic development fund." What that fund does and who runs, is not clear. I hope someone searches this out. Under the previous agreement, Canada was to receive 100% of toll profit until they were made whole on the $6.4B they spent to build the bridge, which Michigan/the US contributed $0. The agreement also says it could be 50+ years before Canada was whole, that timeline is now longer. The Americans will have to agree if Canada wants to increase the bridge tolls by more than 10%, or lower them below compared regional averages. That clause helps out the owners of the Ambassador Bridge, the Moroun family, who have donated to the Trump administration and previously to US ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra, to try and stop the new bridge from opening.

Just goes to show that Trump/USA can't be trusted to honour a deal. NAFTA, then CUSMA, now this. Not to mention threatening to rip up the 1783 border agreement.

Remember when Trump claimed that Walmart was reducing prices at his request.
It was another lie. The man can't help it.

Supermarket giant Walmart has publicly denied Donald Trump's claims that the retailer lowered prices on everyday goods at his direction.

Communism again. Now this is interesting to anyone that follows the subject and has read Marx and stuff like that.

I would often say in Speeches, and otherwise, America will never be a Socialist Country, and I was 100% correct, the Dumocrats skipped Socialism, and went all the way down to Communism. AMERICA WILL NEVER BE A COMMUNIST COUNTRY! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Ok. So when Mao done his Great Leap Forward in the late 50's, that was a total disaster and led to the PRC " revising" it's timescale for communism, they could just have done whatever Biden done.

Wait, there is more. A minute later he posted this-

The Radical Left Lunatics, often referred to as Dumocrats, have lost control of their Party. They are being led by loud and unattractive people who have totally lost their way. Hopefully, they will fight back, and not let this sick, Communist ideology, take over America! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Ahh yes. His brain is in overdrive. Because not only is all thinks commie really bad, his stunning kill shot now ...... loud and unattractive people.

FFS. He is right. We had all that old war, the battle of ideologies, and nobody pointed out what everyone missed. The game changer what would have stopped it. They are loud and unattractive people.

How the fuck did all the politicians and political scientists miss that ?

We just need 'low ratings' now to complete the bingo card.

I was thinking of doing another bingo card, but there are so many things that have morphed together I don't know where to start. I think it would have to be about how many separate things can he fit into one single sentence. Or how many contradictions.

Is there a name for a triple contradiction. Such as -

"I have not spoken to Iran but Iran called me desperate to make a deal and I told them there will be no deal unless you call me wanting to make a deal."

Ahh yes. His brain is in overdrive. Because not only is all thinks commie really bad, his stunning kill shot now ...... loud and unattractive people.

Imagine a loud and unattractive person leading any country... Oh wait...

News in. Lindsey Graham has died.

Just came to post that myself. Not the politician I was expecting to see named.

That is sudden and unexpected.

Am I allowed my tin foil hat and to suggest that Elaine Chow was not successful in her "shopping" mission to China, and that maybe turtle spares had to be found closer to home ?

Or is that bad taste ?

Well this takes the focus off McConnell
