Panda-monium - Trump Thread #170

[Spandauer]

Mid-terms looming, approval falling, prices rising, wars ongoing - Ping Ping and Fu Shuang must be wondering what heinous crime they committed to be banished chosen as envoys of friendship between China and USA. 🐼🐼

Trump’s Final Term Ends in: - Countdown Timer

Gosh, I wonder if a government that sanctions the ICC might be doing crimes?

I am more fucking angry than I ever have been with any human before, about this piece of shit in the WH and all his enablers. It doesn’t help that I’m also completely powerless to do anything about it, bar boycotting all things American. Putin must be absolutely rubbing his hands in glee. His investment certainly paid off!

I know the feeling.

America is now funding Russias illegal invasion of Ukraine. Treacherous bastards.

How dare Trump claim to be brokering peace. It's more clear than ever (wasn't exactly unclear before) where his loyalty lies.

Fucking scumbag.

I just read a comment on X that this is just Putin making the orange turd look stupid, that they don't have any excess diesel to export. And Ukraine has responded.

A while ago I posted an article about how West Virginians were faring. Here's another. Sounds like it's getting worse. The reporter missed an opportunity to ask what exactly the interviewee loved about Trump - guess she didn't want to kick her when she's sinking.

Also some very Orwellian denial by the USDA about decreased food and funding.

"The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

I thought I'd actually got to the exhausted point where I could no longer react to what 🍊💩 does but it seems he has even more shit to give the world. My capacity to hate expands daily.

And Nanny Natalie will make sure he never sees the ranking of US presidents mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the info. I think they might need to change the slots a bit though. Because the guy is in a wheelchair.

I just posted what I remember from Gary Gilmore's execution. I have no 'personal experience'.

I expect they'll 'make it work'😕.

I was listening to a commentator and he said that Army regs and also most states have laws that stipulate that 'no one under the age of 18 is permitted to witness or attend an execution'. I'm wondering how they're going to control access? They've said it won't be a 'televised' thing. But how are they going to control who logs in to a livestream?

Liquor websites here have you tick 'yes' that you're over 21 or put in a date of birth but request no proof. I guess that's enough to remove liability for them. But seems to me that this dreadful situation would require something a little more, shall we say, 'robust' to prevent underage 'viewers'.

Thing is, everyone will see it eventually. It will be all over social media. Anyone with a SM feed will see it posted by someone.

I see the Turd has found a replacement for Goebbels Barbie.

Trump already has sanctions on the ICC. Feb 6 2025

Federal Register :: Imposing Sanctions on the International Criminal Court

"I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, find that the International Criminal Court (ICC), as established by the Rome Statute, has engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel......"

There is also Jack Smith to consider. He has worked with the ICC, so Trump has been out to discredit it for a while now. The smear campaign is pretty old.

Goes back to Bush Jr as I recall. Something about the US are above the law, and that " bad actors" would use the ICC to make up bogus charges.

And TBH, this can be added to the list of things that Obama should have done. Signed up to the ICC. In fact, Obama was anti ICC too.

Unfortunate but Unsurprising? Obama Undermines the ICC | Justice in Conflict

Seems to be a good Nobel award on so many levels.

Edit. I don't think Obama was totally against the ICC. He was against it prosecuting Americans.

I posted a few days ago about a Rubio best pal getting jailed for 10 years over taking bribes from VZ. I mentioned the Maduro trial will be interesting.

Well now, it would be interesting if it happens. Because within a day of so of the Rubio pal getting sentenced, we got this.

Somehow I do not think they will see the inside of a court room.

Special relationship blah,blah
It's time for a separation
With the USA in its current form.

Can the UK and Europe trust this current Gang of gangsters in the WH not to pass on for favours or dollars.

Who asked if Trump had commented on the Nobel Peace Prize? He's the gift that's guaranteed to keep giving.

Didn't Ukraine hit a refinery in Russia not so long ago?

You might not be wrong about there never being a trial, because where would that leave Rodriguez, the current Trump puppet, who was Vice President in Maduro's gov't.

They've hit several. Stopping logistics

It's taking the "war" back to the Russian population to open their eyes.

They did hit several and Trump demanded they stop doing that.

Via the puppet master..Putin.

What if you work in the UK for a US owned company ? A UK company that is engaging with the ICC ?

It's not an absolute impossibility if you work (for example) in wealth management (and teh software thereof).

I'm not sure things have ever looked like they're lining up worse than now.
Midterms.
Public execution by firing squad.
ICC sanctioned and publicly vilified.
Russian diesel yes please says USA.
Ukraine will be reprimanded for sabotaging Russian fuel.
Europe will support Ukraine and the ICC which will directly contravene all Trump's directives and inclinations.
That's without all the Iran Middle East Hormuz Israel stuff.
Without climate change disruption etc.
Things look bad to me.

A WOMAN beat him

Remember all that, as the GOP carries on being returned.

Just remember.

Lock her up !

Remember that ? He is back on it. Sort of.

"President Donald Trump urged the Supreme Court on Friday to wade into his years long legal battle with former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and ex-Justice Department officials over the 2016 election, appealing a case that a lower court concluded was “frivolous.”"

"Trump filed the lawsuit in 2022 against Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and dozens of other people and entities he said conspired to undermine his 2016 campaign by falsely tying him to Russia."

"A federal district court dismissed the suit and ultimately ruled that Trump’s attorneys were liable for nearly $1 million in sanctions. The Atlanta-based 11th US Circuit Court of Appeals largely upheld that decision last year.
“This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start,” wrote US District Judge Donald Middlebrooks of the Southern District of Florida, who was nominated to the bench by former President Bill Clinton. “No reasonable lawyer would have filed it.”"

Yeah. He is determined he has to show no connection to Russia... as he .... Ach. Ye Ken whit ah mean

:-)

What's next? He once bought X-ray glasses from the small adds in The National Enquirer, and now he wants SCOTUS to get him a full refund of $4.99 and a zillion bucks for his pain and suffering.

Nothing says tin-pot dictator like the way he is using SCOTUS does.
