As a Brit, I'm glad that my prime minister is currently standing up to Donald's nonsense (and my other half, a doctor formerly working in Barcelona, is proud of Spain's similarly defiant response).
Beginning a war with absolutely no plan and no clue of objectives is an absolute disaster, not just for international affairs, but for the economy of the country starting that war.
All because one pitifully thin-skinned man is flailing around in search of a way to distract critics while trying to improve his approval ratings, egged on by xenophobes and war-machine profiteers.
Thank you. I thank the world for understanding that it's not We The People here doing this. It's the worst president in America history. 72% want him and his entire administration gone. I personally want peace. Feed the poor and elderly, figure out how we can have a great universal healthcare. My list goes on. I pray we get our world friends back as soon as we get rid of the horrible Trump and his regime.
Based on everyone I've spoken to over here, just about zero Brits think this is what the majority of Americans want or voted for - even those foolish enough to vote for Donald. We're rooting for you to weather this storm and looking forward to standing with you all as mutually respectful partners on the world stage again soon. Hopefully sooner than any of us expect.
Thank you for seeing the reality of the situation and not falling for the BS perpetrated by the idiot clown show that comprises our current administration.
As the saying goes - "From your mouth to God's ear " regarding your good wishes. It is so disgusting and infuriating to see someone from a family dynasty of draft dodgers that NEVER served their country in charge of troops risking their lives.
Thank you!! It’s extremely worrisome. There are enough people rising up and hopefully some results in Congress to end this war and the regime. Inexperienced in all their jobs.
Go Spain 🇪🇸 ❤️ Meanwhile, Starmer is allowing the US to use British bases for their attacks. I never thought I would regret voting for Labour, but here we are.
Honestly, I don't regret my vote! I mean, I like what the Green Party is doing right now, but in the last election it was Labour or the Conservatives, two imperfect choices, and Kemi Badenoch is currently asking why we didn't capitulate to Donald completely. Instead, Starmer is allowing British airbases to be used *only* on strikes against Iranian missile sites, as a defensive measure for British citizens in the Middle East to be protected, not for anything else (as per the BBC, anyway). That seems prudent in a bad situation. God knows what Farage and his loons would be doing in the same scenario.
Ugh. Farage as Prime Minister. I shudder at the thought! He's just a trump wannabe. I really like Zack Polanski, his messaging, and how he's galvanising the Green Party. That's where my vote will be going next time. As soon as I find another job, I think I'll be signing up as a member. Wasted vote? Maybe, but Your Party had too much toxicity from the outset. I'd rather vote for a dud than vote against my conscience. The Labour Party is simply tory light these days. Remember, Starmer et al were trying to cut benefits from the least to funnel more money to the few. They're not longer the party of the working class.
Why is it a big mistake? Are you for a world war, because it will end that way? N. Korea, China, and Russia are all allies with them, and they will be involved if other countries do join in for the felon child. The only use from the British bases is to protect the civilians, was already stated by the Prime Minister publically.
I agree, but the "special sauce" that drives Trump is his stark, raving need to be a "winner"...in his world, a person is either a winner or a loser, and he cannot tolerate being a loser. Of course, we all know that he IS a loser, a disastrous mixture of pride, fear, anger, and a need to get revenge whatever the consequences...he cannot think in the abstract or in longrange terms, ergo he cannot calculate or appreciate the costs of his impulsive and bad decisions.
What a horrible legacy of death, deceit and ignorance!Donald tRump is proving his incompetence and the hollow man he is. He should be fired, then, jailed!
The planning for war is usually done by educated generals and their subordinates. It looks like this was planned by a committee of chimpanzees or should I say Trumpanzees?
When I first heard about Luigi Mangione exterminating that United healthcare parasite CEO I felt glee. It was a rush.
I think the only hope is the military orchestrating a coup. It could be bloodless and relatively silent. They could let them know that they better turn themselves in and confess. If they don’t turn themselves in they can drone Or sniper some of them until they get a message. They can make it about self preservation.
I understand and agree with your comment about Mangioni and the Untied (typed this way on purpose) Healthcare phuq -- he more than earned that glorious end!🤗
I think your idea about the military is excellent and needs to be put into action ASAP -- especially the idea of using drones since there wouldn't be anyone to blame for that -- it would be quiet and deadly with no one to try in court.
Something has to be done because all hell is about to break loose. Lu Ouija board definitely did what they say he did. The courts are dragging their feet on us because they know he will probably be found in not guilty by a moral jury. Jury Nullification. The government does not trust the people.
Only 17% of Americans trust their government. This erosion of trust was earned. Even A significant chunk of the MAGATS Are starting to connect the dots. Now with the truth finally coming out about Epstein And Trump and other world leaders being compromised by Epstein and Putin The truth is inescapable.
The non MAGA will continue to seek lawful solutions. MAGA probably won’t but I’m afraid that will make things worse for everybody. It will give the government an excuse for even more oppression and tyranny.
A vote of impeachment and trial would be good right about now. But MAGAS would rather send our children to their death before stopping this stupid game of his. And his cabinet is certifiably nuts just like him. I am sickened.
OUR children (well, in my case, a great-grandchild), not THEIR children. This will be more of an instance of Fortunate Sons, than ever before in our history, and the Big Fool in the White House is certainly no Teddy Roosevelt, insisting that sons serve their country.
It is folly and there will be terrible consequences, but DJT & his train full of lunatics and monsters just push forward until Americans wake up and take action to impeach, try, convict, and sentence him and his acolytes.
Only problem is, the only ones that can do that are mostly holding the floor, then you have the Moscow johnson the puppet for the felon child, that is why the midterms are important.
Despite reading many books and an uncountable number of journal articles, I still don't understand how someone as unqualified and corrupt as your uncle managed to deceive such a large number of voters. I am no longer the least bit sympathetic to the plight or problems of Trump voters. I am just angry at their nastiness and stupidity.
I am so sorry for you that you were born into the Trump family. It has been a terrible burden for you.
The votes were "engineered", by right-wing Americans and with the intellectual and financial support of oligarchs in several nations. Republicans who voted for Trump were conned into thinking that THEY could have a piece of the big, fat American pie. It's all deception by VERY powerful people who have a financial and power-hungry need for a trained circus clown to be elected POTUS.
Declan is the son of a college friend. 20 years old. Gone because of an ill-conceived "war" invented by Tr--p and BB to distract from domestic scandals and enrich Tr--p through Saudi Arabia. When oh when will the GOP start holding him accountable?!
I am a Gold Star niece and am so sorry for your friend’s loss. Declan, like my uncle, was undoubtedly a good person and a beloved family member. Our thoughts are with them.
Remember when Zelenskyy said their country doesn’t have elections while at war? I truly believe trump will have this in mind and try to implement this (even though it’s false for the U.S.) at the Midterms.
We need to make a distinction between Ukraine, a country in which voters traveling to their polling locations would be under constant bombardment; and the U.S. , a nation in which voters can enjoy relative safety while its war machine carries on destructive activity thousands of miles away.
It would be entirely plausible to believe that the words spoken or written by DJT had come from a 9 or 11 year old boy. Every time he speaks it strengthens the image I have of him as a spoiled child with severely stunted development. There’s nothing adult in his demeanor or behavior. If he’s told “no, you can’t do that” he throws a tantrum or sulks, and then proceeds to “do that” anyway, just as a spoiled adolescent would. I think he really believes the Supreme Court granted him not just immunity but permission to do anything to anybody anywhere at anytime, and he intends to do just that. He’s a bad seed.
The senseless violence that Donald Trump unleashes is so sad and terrifying. As an American, I’ve seen this story so many times. This country is sick and we will not make it another 250 years with this genocidal mindset. God Bless the victims. I’m so sorry.
Do not know how to say this, Mary, but we will have no check on the power of the orange monster until after the elections and the swearing in of the new Congress. That is, assuming, he allows elections to proceed.
I don't know who's worst - netanyahu, trump or hegseth! All are the worst people to be leading us and allies into an all out Mideast war! What's even more alarming is that these 3 belligerent warmongers think their side will win! Every hour US gets plunged deeper into a conflict that ONLY lines the pockets of witkoff, jared, the Entire trump family, and billionaires who profit off oil, war, and fighting, plus the gullible goons in the cabinet. None of them are on the same page, never mind the same book! When are we going to stop the madness? Or is it already too late?
Thanks for sharing the collaboration with the Saudi royal family. Looking for timelines between his foreign emoluments and use of our armed forces. PS. Hate it when the political civilian leadership wrap themselves in the honor of the military as if THEY are the patriotic ones. My Congressional Reps, answering my input about starting wars and killing people, always praise the military, as if they had any choice or any affiliation with the politicians in charge current term.

I'm so sorry, America. You deserve better.

Most of America deserves better, and thank you for that, but there's still s cadre of knuckle-draggers that believe in him.
Thank you - it seems we need all the help and support we can gather these days as the administration is hell bent on stabbing peace in the back.
Thank you Mike! Wished I lived over there!
Me too, Lynne. My three years living in England (1989-92) were the happiest time of my life. 🇬🇧

It’s a tragic senseless loss of patriotic young people
Epstein Epstein Epstein, I haven’t forgotten. Neither should you

True...with a crew like Hegseth, Bondi, his acolytes in Congress, etc. this Titanic is headed for a big, ugly iceberg.
Trump surround himself with stupid people because he doesn’t want anybody around smarter than he is and Trump is a dumb bastard.
We need to stop fucking around and get rid of these people even that means some sort of military SWAT team going in and taking them out one by one
Ooh, I had a little climax envisioning that SWAT team following your advice!

We can thank the FBI for shirking their duties. If they hadn’t, DJT would be rattling his tin cup along the bars.

😔
In answer to your question regarding the GOP holding the orange menace to account, probably sometime never.
Sigh…..😔
Anyone in a position of power and who supports Trump has an eye on the prizes: wealth and power, prestige and immunity from prosecution.
Remember when Zelenskyy said their country doesn’t have elections while at war? I truly believe trump will have this in mind and try to implement this (even though it’s false for the U.S.) at the Midterms.
We had elections just fine during WW II. We need to keep pointing that out when Trump wants to stop them.
Well, that's in the Ukrainian Constitution. It is not in ours. We have voted throughout every war.
I kinda wondered if he’ll use this as an excuse to stop elections.
We need to make a distinction between Ukraine, a country in which voters traveling to their polling locations would be under constant bombardment; and the U.S. , a nation in which voters can enjoy relative safety while its war machine carries on destructive activity thousands of miles away.
True.

Speaking metaphorically, spank him profusely and give him permanent time out in the corner. Ground him for life.
Thank you for your comments...you nailed it!
RIP Soldiers. I am so sorry.
The senseless violence that Donald Trump unleashes is so sad and terrifying. As an American, I’ve seen this story so many times. This country is sick and we will not make it another 250 years with this genocidal mindset. God Bless the victims. I’m so sorry.
