It's like a parallel universe - how did America come to this? So now he plans to ethnically cleanse Gaza we are told - to create the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' A golf course and hotels probably. The £2 million people can just go wherever. Wtf! AIBU to think America is imploding in on itself?

I’m sure the King’s not expecting a suit tomorrow.

It's not a conscience they need. It's a spine and guts!

They allowed Trump to bully his way into being their presidential candidate. They backed down because they feared the Trump "meatgrinder". They appeased him. And now they're finding out that appeasing megalomaniac bullies doesn't work.

I hope they find their spine soon. Americans need them to.

Yes, but in this instance it's having a conscience that eventually forces people to have spines and guts. I mean, I watch these politicians who lie and twist themselves into pretzels and flipflop on their previously stated values and honestly wonder how they sleep at night. How can Marco Rubio live with himself.

I disagree with pretty much everything about Liz Cheney, but, ultimately it was her conscience that wouldn't let her stay quiet. It overruled self-interest and she's paying a price, but at least she knows she's principled.

It would actually be quite funny if Zelenskyy turned up in one

And the Royals in trackies. Er, maybe not. 👑 this'll do nicely.

Thatcher's office was 'concerned' when she and the Queen turned up in similar clothes. An enquiry was made as to whether it might be possible for the 2 offices to liaise in advance to ensure that this couldn't happen again. Reply from lady in waiting that this would not be possible as "Her Majesty does not notice what other people are wearing". Magnificent. Take note Vance and mates.

Oh gosh no zelensky definitely shouldn't wear a suit

Radyward · 01/03/2025 23:08

Trump is his countrys interests first!!
Wants to stop this unwinable war and stop the death and destruction.
Wants money back given its billions of dollars
Usa is close to bankruptcy
Nothing wrong with any of the above.

Zelensky wants a meeting at the WH. Two weeks of meetings to come to a peace deal given they are literally grabbing people off the street in Ukraine to send to their deaths/ front line
Z is a bad deal.hasnt a clue where half the money is gone bearing in mind ukraine is the 140th most corrupt nation in the world.
Late for meeting with general kellogg in Kiev. Shouting and confrontational . Etc etc I do realise emotions are heightened. White house official go over the deal for hours Signing arranged and ready then trys to negotiate in front of the cameras. What a muppet .
Trump wll not play ball

Will not capitulate to more billions on a senseless war .
I give it 2 weeks of no money and war ended.

Zelensky is a grifter and a war monger . Just didn't get it that sleepy joe is gone. His little gravy train. Any western European tax payer does not want this war going on years increasing their costs and taxes. Its just ridiculous
Trump is the only one to TRY and garner peace and is saying his country will not tolerate tax payers money thrown recklessly away on this ridiculous war.
Trump said he aligns with no one. T and Vance had their fill of zelensky ridiculous demands and arrogance and it all spilled out. Z flip flopping with young ukrainian men's lives for 2 weeks.

F zelensky

Poor ukrainian mother s and wives

Trump is dead right

@Rayward Cool story.

Serpentstooth · 01/03/2025 23:22

Twaddle.

Would say ODFOD to Radyward.

No point engaging with a bot, though.

Do try harder, originator. Your AI is showing.

Ah, new shift at the bot farm is it? I give you a 3/10, definite room for improvement.
