I couldn’t quite bring myself to watch the speech, so thanks for doing it for me. Glad to hear we have not yet invaded Venezuela, which I feared would be the main subject of the speech.
I can think of a far more dangerous delusion than belief that your own assessment of reality is the only valid one, if that's almost any delusion is more dangerous than that; essentially you're describing people who are overly confident in their view of the world; probably the majority of humanity.
No, the most dangerous delusion is that somebody else has an exclusive grasp of the truth, to the point where you follow them on questioningly what's going on.
It's Trump's followers that have the most dangerous delusion. The fat sack of excrement would just be an idiot that nobody would bother paying attention to if it weren't for people's desire to believe in a daddy figure. That's where the real hazard comes in.
Dementia J. Trump, quite possibly the most famous felon and sexual assaulter in US history associated with the number 47 , a lying liar who lies about lying. Rinse, cycle, repeat, ad nauseum.
Impeachment is much easier and that's still not possible. He's going to have to dig himself a little deeper of a hole I guess. Or wait until January when his health cuts totally clobber millions of people in red States; we think the bottom is falling out now but I don't think we've seen it yet; when people start having to pay tens of thousands more for their health care, even the idiot sycophants aren't going to be too thrilled about it.
As a Brit I can only sit over here bemused wondering why a majority of Americans fell (and a lot still believe) for Trump’s lies during the ‘election’. Or is there a majority who now realise what they have done to the USA’s reputation and the world in general by unleashing the most derided, dangerous, despised, dishonest, divisive ‘leader’ who has surrounded himself with equally derided, dangerous, despised, dishonest, divisive individuals. Trump is incapable of stringing a sensible sentence together and simply spouts meaningless drivel. He has no statecraft or diplomacy and methinks, intelligence as his mind wanders and flips from one topic to another. Worse he believes his own bombastic nonsense and has usurped his position of power to publicly bully, humiliate and destroy individuals, justice, the economy and the meaning of peace. I wish someone over here would have the balls to simply tell him to trott off but we need an America and Americans who believe in truth, justice and peace and who understand that is something of which 99% of the world’s population dream.
Same as Stamer the one that threatened the ICC for the war Criminals release of Genocide and Starvation that killed thousands of innocent civilians Palestinians ,
I think Momma was trying to call you out for admonishing Americans to clean house when yours is still filthy as well. You're a Brit railing against our president without mentioning the fact that you have a carbon copy of him running your country.
As a matter of fact, at least one of the activists your Starmer regime jailed for no crime except saying "free Palestine", of a group of eight that were jailed for standing up for the Palestinians, I believe about 47 days ago now, is close to death as a result of your government simply refusing to even acknowledge that they're doing this; David the psychopath Lammy pretended to not know what the person was talking about when he was challenged on it.
Last report I heard last night, she was reversing on controllably on the floor of her jail cell, and when medics tried to get access to check on her, your government had resentment arrested and left her to die; I'm not saying she's dead because I haven't heard that yet, but they are definitely showing zero concern about the fact that they've almost killed her at this point.
So yeah we have big problems here, you have big problems there, and they're a big problems all over the world, not caused by Trump or even Americans, but rather caused by the oligarchs who at this point are the fact that world government, and Trump and scharmer are just two of their Waterboys.
But at least our guys can lie with a tight control on the English language, unlike the moron who is masquerading as your leader supposedly making America great again.
It seems like you're on the right side so why on Earth are you trying to start a pissing contest over which genocidal leader is worse? The point is, we know Trump is a monster and we're trying to get rid of him.
Instead of admonishing us to work harder why don't you tell us what you're doing to get rid of your monster.
But I don't particularly care whether those supporting genocide have a proper command of the English language when they're talking about it. Keep your eye on the ball.
I cannot see the point in entering a pissing contest, clearly your guy wins hands down. I mean how can you top threatening to invade your neighbours, committing international piracy and summary executions, telling your so-called allies that they’re all a “weak and decaying group of nations”. But as long as you know about your monster then that’s all ok, we’ll get rid of our’s at the ballot box.
You know, after you guys voted for Brexit, and given that Starmer does nothing but lie (do you really care that he lies smoothly and elegantly), and that Nigel Farrage is wildly popular, and yes, everything Greg said about the hunger strikers, and the appalling situation with vicars and 87 year old grannies being violently arrested for holding up little placards that say "I support Palestine Action", it's just not a great look, you attacking us right now.
What about some solidarity towards those of us still protesting and giving money to leftist groups? The people reading this newsletter are probably not Trump supporters, or even milquetoast mainstream Dem supporters. We don't deserve to be vilfied. Let's have some Leftist solidarity here.
Brexit was a democratic decision, albeit incorrect in my view, and has absolutely no comparison with how your president appears to be flouting your constitution with his endless presidential decrees and his personal abuse of your justice system and law enforcement agencies. You should read what I wrote carefully before branching out into “leftist” inaccurate statements. I clearly implied criticism of our politicians for their distasteful fawning of Trump’s ego and their mildly tolerant acceptance of his tactics.
In the UK, Palestine Action is a proscribed body in this country and anyone who ventures onto UK streets in support of such a body is at severe risk of being arrested for breaking the law. I am not saying that that proscription is justified but it is the law. Neither does the silence on the Middle East in my original comment indicate acceptance of the desperate, intolerable situation in Gaza and the West Bank. You have simply failed to understand the intent of my words that severely criticised Trump and his close allies who have in their arrogance transformed the American Administration into bullies, international pirates and executioners with little apparent regard for the welfare and health of the average American.
Let me also tell you that I dislike labels because they attract extremism from left wing zealots to right wing fascists. I would rather our so called leaders concentrated on maintaining peace, justice, equality and the environment. Just look what happens when extremists see and understand each other and realise that these aspirations can actually flourish by not focussing on power, finance and intransigence but consider reason and compromise to produce a framework for a society where everyone is considered a valued member. I guess I’m just a middle-of-the-road dreamer hey.
For some reason the site won't let me edit my comment. Hopefully people figured out that I dictated "last night she was convulsing uncontrollably, on the floor of her jail cell, not "reversing on controllably"! 🙄
People can refute your comment based on what's going on in GB, but at least you don't have a psychopath running your country, who is corrupt as hell, should be in a prison cell rotting right now and not the WH, and doesn't have aspirations of becoming a dictator. Not only is trump a maniacal moron, but the idiots under him, along with the maga party in Congress, are co-conspirators in our demise. Yeah, the tech giants and wealthy extremists, including trump, are running the country, that's what we get for electing trump twice and continuing to put magats in the majority in Congress. I've come to the conclusion that Americans who continue to support maga-Republicans are just plain stupid, not ignorant, stupid. There is no excuse for re-electing a fascist-felon, none. maga is getting what they deserve right now, I truly hope they are suffering, it's just too bad those of us living in reality, have to also suffer. The best-case scenario would be for the Democrats to take both the House and the Senate, in large numbers, so the bastard can be impeached, convicted, and thrown out of office for good. Hopefully that result would crumble maga into the ground, Vance would also be impeached, and the Speaker of the House (a Democrat) could take over the presidency. Just dreaming on...
Starmer is also a psychopath. He's just a smoothtalking, elegant psychopath.
And while you're dreaming, could you dream us a better Speaker? As things stand, your dream gives us Hakeem Jeffries, who is pretty pathetic. If you're going to dream, dream us a Ro Khanna or a Pramila Jayapal or a Jamie Raskin as Speaker.
He used Stephen Miller's speech cadence like he was trying to cram shit down everybody's throat. I only made it about five minutes to realize their was no bombshell coming and that it would only be greatest hits lies. About the best we could hope for.
Controlling the agenda is similar to control the pace of battle. When your opponent is reacting instead of acting, they it’s only downhill for them from there. This is Trump declaring on national television that they are no longer setting the pace. Now it’s up to dems to see if they can actually take advantage of that and get inside the admins OODA loop (that’s if they even have one since most days it just seems like an AAAA loop).
I'm tired of people acting like it's a virtue not to pay attention to what Hitler 2.0 is doing just because they're disgusted by him.
We are all disgusted and he makes us all want to puke. Those of us that actually care about democracy have to pay attention regardless how disgusting it is. It's not a f****** virtue to close your eyes and plug your ears when Hitler walks in the room.
Obviously I was making a rhetorical point. Equally obvious, the point is you're no better than we are, and in no position to call us a nation of sheep so piss off.
The majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and have to register their displeasure with the dictator in their spare time. Who the f*** are you to judge us?
I watched it, it was, in a word, astonishing. But if you really want to see the extent of the damage Trump can do..head over to the FOX website and read the comments about the speech. These redhat morons think he’s swell, they thank God for Trump, they excoriate Biden..it is a redhat mindmeld that will stun you. He may have a 36% approval rating, but it is a vocal and powerful 36%. They have well and thoroughly drunk the koolaid…….
First off it isn't 36% anymore. But regardless of that, it's also ridiculous to call it a powerful 36%; the Fox News audience is mostly at death's door. Their brainwashed idiots and the only power they have is that they vote.
The healthcare bomb is just about to go off. The bottom is going to drop out of Trump's support; even a lot of stupid brainwashed maggots will freak out on the dear leader when they can no longer afford their health care, yet he'll still be crowing about how wonderful everything is and how their life experience is a hoax.
You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but that comes to an end for millions when they lose their healthcare.
I hope that you’re right. I fear that there are too many Americans who will vote against their own best interests in the service of Donald J Trump and his Republican minions.
Well I think you should take heart because Trump's popularity is already historically low and multiple disasters that his policies have caused are about to hit everybody, hard.
A lot of what is driving his terrible approval numbers are the policies that are already hurting Americans, and the damage has just begun. They are going all in on cheating and have completely given up on ever winning through persuasion again.
So much ink is spent covering Cheeto’s Nazi corrupt regime and the Congressional Nazi Republicans that rarely is there any light shed on the Nazi Republican SCOTUS which controls the decision making of the judiciary and its revising constitutional law
Over at Democracy Docket Elias sits down(bit.ly/3L2jIeZ) with Sen Whitehouse(D RI) to talk about the corruption of SCOTUS which he calls a “captured court” Captured by wealthy billionaires particularly of the fossil fuel industry(FFI), the object is to pour dark money into the court in order to “buy the court’s” opinions SCOTUS is set to gut the Voting Rights Act(VRA) and dark $$$ is behind that as well as it helps billionaires control the electorate Lastly and most importantly lack of accountability of the FFI through agency oversight, or make sure that the Polluters Rule
There were Biden mistakes during his term and one of the serious ones was to develop a well intended evaluative effort of SCOTUS by not having the most important voices and opinions to participate in the effort Whilehouse points out 2 areas for SCOTUS reform: 1 Term limits and 2 Proper code of ethics supported by substantial fact checking
So WE the People should be calling out the corruption of the Nazi Republicans every chance WE get and make our anger known in Democratic primaries across the country Expose these greedy power grubbing crooks as often as WE can If WE the People do this, WE can ensure that they will out of power by the midterms and 2028 to end this nightmare WE the People control election outcomes NOT $$$$
I couldn’t quite bring myself to watch the speech, so thanks for doing it for me. Glad to hear we have not yet invaded Venezuela, which I feared would be the main subject of the speech.
That was one of the most pleasingly snarky posts I’ve read in a while. Thanks, gentlemen!
The belief that one's own view of reality is the only reality is the most dangerous of all delusions.

A deranged senile OLD OLD man ranting. No thanks, did not watch a second. I watched Hockey instead.
The only surprising thing about this is that Trump still has allies!
Dementia J. Trump, quite possibly the most famous felon and sexual assaulter in US history associated with the number 47 , a lying liar who lies about lying. Rinse, cycle, repeat, ad nauseum.
Let’s get serious here. Focus on invoking the 25th. Stop acting as if he, his administration or corrupt sleaze balls are normal.
Impeachment is much easier and that's still not possible. He's going to have to dig himself a little deeper of a hole I guess. Or wait until January when his health cuts totally clobber millions of people in red States; we think the bottom is falling out now but I don't think we've seen it yet; when people start having to pay tens of thousands more for their health care, even the idiot sycophants aren't going to be too thrilled about it.

He’s one of those who can’t grow a pair

You're not paying enough attention if you think a majority of Americans ever supported the obese sack of excrement.
Someone threw water on the wicked "witch" in the white house and he is MELTING!!
It will get worse before it gets better but it will get better.

The real indictment here is America. Trump hasn’t changed but America continues to let him rattle on while he alienates and bankrupts the country.
The majority of Americans continue with their do nothing position.
A nation of sheep
What are you doing that makes you better?
Doing my best to greet rid of the pastor!
Obviously I was making a rhetorical point. Equally obvious, the point is you're no better than we are, and in no position to call us a nation of sheep so piss off.

Very Sad , he sure loves the AIPAC Crowd
