America, You Need To Muzzle Your Dog

YEP, and this from a 'draft dodger' claiming "heel spurs"! How anybody could be proud of that fatf*ck's record is beyond me but, hey, that's politics.

 

He should be put in a room with a couple of soldiers who were there. That would shut the orange fool up.

 

More poignantly, perhaps, leave him (and Melania?) in a room with a veteran's bereaved spouse and other relatives .........

 

Possibly the worst thing to come out of the Orange Buffoon's mouth, and that's a long and distinguished list! I can't work out if he actually believes what he's saying, or he's clueless and his mouth works faster than his brain.

 

The latter ..... though that is a bit presumptious insomuch as it suggests the Orange Slug has a functioning brain.

 

Trump is a colossal POS who has surrounded himself with sycophants who are violating the constitution on a daily basis. His mental acuity has declined to the point he's only vaguely aware of what's happening. and goes off on tangents like the destruction of the east wing, bullshit gold accents on every square inch of walll in the oval office. The real power behind him is his chief of staff who has absolutely zero redeeming characteristics.

A reminder he only received a PLURALITY of the vote in 2024. (49.6%). A huge if is if the midterm elections coming up in november, the dems will hopefully regain control of house and senate. To rein him in (little chance of enough votes to impeach and convict). But essentially three years left of his rule. If he dies before the end of his term we're stuck with vance who is little better. And the only chance he has of being president is that situation, as magas will never vote for him (he has an Indian wife).

It's horrendous for the rest of the world but it's truly awful here. Especially in democratic led cities like minneapolis where 3000 immigration agents violate the constitution on a regular basis as well killing peaceful protesters. Minneapolis mass protests and measure to protect immigrants gives me some hope. TOday they have a citywide protest against ICE/CBP. Thousands are marching and temps today are -20 below F.!!! These are americans.

Over the course of the past year, we've had two nationwide "no kings" protests which millions attended. I do however have very real concern that trump will try to overturn the election in 28 and not leave office.

 

I'm not really one to get into any political shenanegans, but I do feel for the 50.4% of Americans who have to live in the orange hooligan's shadow.
There is no doubting the fact that Trump, is a worldwide menace, with no filter whatsoever and no better advising him in the background.
He has said many things that have been extremely offensive, but that last outburst takes the biscuit.
He's a draft dodger, a liar, a cheat, convicted criminal and a thug. Only his money and contacts got him into power, only to exploit his way to greater wealth and more power. (Who said "absolute power corrupts")?
There is no doubt that he will, against the constitution, attempt to run for a third term, if he makes it that far. I fear for all our children and grandchildren, with 80 year old f*****g idiots like this on the loose.

God help us!!

 

I agree Jack, talking politics usually ends up in a bad place, but this guy is as dangerous as Putin. I really worry for my seven year old grandson and what kind of world he's going to grow up in

 

To not beat a deadhorse, the comments he made about Nato and countries participation were disgusting. He has a history, in his first term he told his then chief of staff, retired General Kelly, about US veterans. variously calling them losers. At any rate he completely overlooked the massive nato participation under article 5 in afghanistan, as well as participation of coalition forces in iraq.

I promise not to beat this subject to death, but tens of millions of americans are horrified and disgusted.

100% agree @Dawsy that's where I am with all this. He seems to be emboldened with how Putin is getting away with what he's doing in Ukraine, so is appying the monkey see, monkey do principles.
Pete Hegseth is no better with the recent boat carry on, so what is next.
All bets are off for me, these people are going rogue and nobody is stopping them.

 

I'm currently reading The Abyss (Max Hastings) which is a deep dive into the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Were it not for JFK's supreme intellect then there certainly would have been a nuclear showdown with millions vapourised as a consequence. The vast majority of his military top brass advocated showing the Russians who was boss whilst Castro pushed the Soviets to strike first.

Its a sobering read grounded by the fact that the President secretly taped all the Excon group meetings, which tripped up the "Hawks" many years later as they tried to adjust their memories to suit history.

Unfortunately Trump doesn't seem to have the interlect required for his high office.....

 

I'm afraid that that Trump is doing no favours for the US one bit, he wants America first, well there's nothing wrong with putting the interests of your country first, but not at the expense, and denigration of your allies.
At the rate he's pissing other countries off, he'll need binoculars to see his friends.
We all know that he's the best president in the history of the USA, he said so.
A lot of people have cancelled trips to the US, and to be honest, you can't blame them really, I'm looking at Canada next year.

 

I can thoroughly recommend Canada
We toured around the Rockies in 2005 and it was awesome. Not somewhere I would like to live but a great place to visit.

 

The last time I did the Rockies was 1995, way too long a gap without going back.
But this time, we're thinking east coast.
Lots to see too, Algonquin national park in the autumn colours is something else, did that the first time I went to Canada.

 

Not really into all this rubbish. All i think is the brave soldiers that were there know the truth and still stand strong as brothers and sisters. People like Trump don't have a clue. Its a pity the sniper missed when he took a pop at him. But i am sure there are more peeps lining up to take a pop at him now after his comments. Has this idiot ever served or even fired a rifle. What really makes me wonder is how far we and NATO will go when he gets a rush again about Greenland or Canada. We all seem to be good at talking not much else. So he may be right as in Britain has lost its backbone.

 

And I am DEFINITELY one of those tens of millions of Americans who are horrified and disgusted...and many more adjectives I'll spare you from.

 

@Sandi T I think we all know Mr Trump is an idiot who opens his gob and the diarrhoea just flows freely.. Both American and British service men who were there as a lot of other countries still stand united and loyal to each other and he betrayed them.

 

I live in the US and most of the world has taken advantage of the US and are now throwing a hissy fit because they have to start carrying their own weight.

So go ahead and spend your money in Canada, who is currently kneeling down for China and being even bigger whiners than Europe.

 

I've always said for donkeys years now, why should the American public pay for European defence, when the Europeans can't be bothered to pay for it themselves, by any stretch of the imagination, that's just not fair one bit. But Trumps attitude to your closest ally!! Canada, and others is nothing shorty of bulling tactics, pure and simple.
Might doesn't always mean right.
