The US is making itself irrelevant on the world stage.

The Trump WH Regime put the 'un' into reliable partner. It didn't make the world a safer place.

Countries do not have allies.
Countries do not have friends.

Countries have interests.

English then British foreign policy since (checks notes) Æthelstan

And so today, countries need to reassess which alliances support their economic and geopolitical interests. Decluttering for governments.

I suspect they have been doing it all along. I mean you'll always find a few people to work on it from a FCO of (checks notes again) 17,000

Obviously it can take a long time to turn the ship of state. But a tiny little nudge on the tiller early can start a long-tail turn.

And as with ducks, a lot the work is happening under the surface.

The US is being plundered before our eyes. And when the carrion crows leave, people will wonder where their money went.

Trump is a coward, and his policies are based on fear.

Once upon a time America had a backbone.

It takes courage and heart to lead, and Trump has neither.

Hope you all don't mind, but I posted a link to this thread on an Iran war thread, inviting the "5d chess Trumpers" to come explain the chess. I know I am taking a liberty here as a relative newcomer and all that, so just giving you all a heads up.

Please, when the invasion starts, go easy on them, We are about to be bombarded with logic beyond our comprehension. So keep your cool. For me. For us all. We need to understand.

Tuesdays are gonna be wild, Every TACO explained in detail.

Any moment now.....

Can't say I'm pleased

I left that thread because of the tedious tendentious posters there so wouldn't particularly want to see them here

A real MAGA Trump supporter would struggle to find their own arse with both hands, a map, a flashlight, and a divers helmet. They make your average Reform supporter look like a Nobel Prize winner.

(Speaking of which ....)

Hahaha! my bingo card says only one or two will show up.

Remember my question on a earlier thread that was completely misinterpreted by a poster? I had asked if Israel has a right to exist? (Or any country for that matter).
I've since found material, in a vlog with both pros and cons, that puts the Israel/Palestine confict into 5,000 years of context.

Just an update, as I don't want to derail this sweary delightful and informative Trump admiration society thread.

There's a reason gps trackers, for the infirm of mind, was invented.😂

Yeah. I left most of those "extra" threads too. I am on the main one still though.

My inspiration for my post above, if that is the correct term, if that I forgot to unfollow one of the minor ones, and got a notification of new posts. I checked it, and it was deleted galore.

Trumpers don't play the ball. They have no ball. Trump took it. And with no ball, they can only play the player. But we all have our own balls.

No wait.... erm... I might need to reword that.

Ach, ye ken whit ah mean.

Maybe they'll be like the Moroccan migrants in Ceuta and only stay for 24 hours?

You mean the day trippers ?

:-)

Sorry. Shouldn't joke. What is the death toll for this stunt so far ? And so far as I can see, it was a stunt.

I remember there was a Repug vid last election. Or maybe it was the one before. Where they claimed the last Ceuta "invasion" was the Mexican border. I think that vid was pulled. But it done the job.

I've taken one for the team and looked at the picture of Chump as Elvis. Not as horrific as I feared but ... I wouldn't recommend it.

70 people lost their lives swimming and it was a response to social media.

These are the statistics from last year in the UK.

It's all incredibly sad.

"Sunday, August 2, 20266:30 PM Truth Social

The Winning Shot in the Bedminster Club Championship! Thank you very much to all of those who participated. I won with a score of 70, and am so honored in that, unlike the rest of the field, I'm given very little time to practice, because I'm focused on many other things. It's called TALENT, and I have it, and they don't! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

There is a video attached, but I cant see it or post it.

He got 70. Lets explore.

I looked up the official site for the club. It's selling tickets for the "LIV Golf New York competition, And yup LIV golf if that Saudi thing. The Saudis pay a lot of money for that. There are no results of matches posted .

There are 2 courses there. I can only find info for one. Par 72, 7580 yards.

"The course rating is 76.8, which indicates the level of difficulty for scratch golfers. Additionally, the slope rating is 151, which further emphasizes the challenging nature of the course."

I have no idea what that means. I won't link where I got it.

I found a sports report.

"President Donald Trump’s “Winning” Score At His Golf Course’s Club Championship Is Hard To Believe — Cheating Accusations Emerge"

"The 80-year-old president shared on Sunday, Aug. 2, that he won the senior division club championship at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey. The course belongs to Trump and is one of many golf properties that carry his name.
According to Trump, he wrapped up the game with a score of 70. He says this win marks his 43rd club trophy in his career."

I won't link that either, I want to save the link window for....

Trump says talks between Iran and US are to start later today. It must be true as:

Brent crude futures sank more than 4 per cent to $83.88

The talks could turn out to be Schrödinger's Talks after this came next.

When asked if Iran has a deadline to make a deal, the US President shook his head 'no', telling reporters "we'll just see".
He once again said the US is "ready to go anytime we want". However, he also said "I'm not looking to kill people because people die, a lot of people die, and we don't want that"

Trump's arse licker in chief sycophant may be about to hit the dust. Wales just formally announced their withdrawal of support for Infantino's presidency of Fifa.

European countries are planning to increase the pressure on Gianni Infantino with a mass withdrawal of letters supporting his re-election as Fifa president.

Wonderful. Infantino should be long gone.

Apparently he has enough support to remain in post. A viable opponent needs to come forward by 18th Nov but this might not be enough time to garner sufficient supporting votes. At least this debacle might put a pause in his corruption, but he'll still be looking for a post retirement big money payoff scheme.

RFK Jr shutting the stable door after Dobbin has left

I watched some clips from RFK Jr's interview with Dana Bash. He was just like all the other men in Trump's administration who cannot stand being questioned by women - bullying, shouting, finger pointing, dismissive and sneering... and WRONG!

The willy waving is not only pathetic, it's dangerous with this lot - she questioned him about any preparations and policies to deal with any new pandemic in the future and instead of answering the question he ended up blaming her (and journalists in general) for the covid deaths in the US.

There will be a lifetime of court cases from bereaved parents lining up.

This will run and run.

I watched the whole thing. She was really very good. He was all of the things you say above and a boldfaced liar. He is an utter rock bottom disgrace.
