    Or stupid/depraved/willfully ignorant people should stop voting for him

    REPORTER: You are talking tonight about the US taking over a sovereign territory. What authority would allow you to do that? Are you talking about a permanent occupation?

    TRUMP: I do see a long term ownership position
    Congratulations America - you made it to the last level like Rome before you

    Trump wanted Canada, Greenland and Panama. Now he’s settled for Gaza.

    Do Americans really want us taking over that strip of land? I thought he was going to keep us out of conflicts.

    Honestly he is just deranged and ranting - it frankly doesn't matter what he says ultimately

    There's one big story which is a drug addicted white supremacist South African who is going around illegally trying to destroy the US state capacity by destroying all executive agencies, including the CIA & the FBI

    Suffice it to say this is - a little dubious on its merits?

    Full article on link.....


    No one is safe from Trump’s racist agenda

    Trump’s attacks on civil rights don’t just affect people of color, they reach other citizens as well

    Trump reversed the 60-year-old executive order that prohibited federal contractors from engaging in employment discrimination, putting countless minority small business owners on the chopping block. He stopped every single Department of Justice civil rights investigation and police reform agreement – that includes the agreements in Louisville, Kentucky and Minneapolis, Minnesota that were reached following the killings of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. These aren’t abstract political principles we’re talking about. This is about real people with real lives on the line.

    Trump’s attack on civil rights and his agenda rooted in racial division don’t just affect people of color, they reach other citizens as well. Do you know what would have happened if a federal judge hadn’t paused the Trump spending freeze? It means your lead water pipes don’t get replaced. It means doctors working to cure cancer or fight Alzheimer’s have to stop their research. It means your daily commute is even more dangerous because crews stopped fixing the roads and bridges and, if you have one of the more than 330,000 clean energy jobs created by the Inflation Reduction Act, Trump tried to freeze your paycheck.

    Meanwhile, the price of eggs keeps going up.

    So I don’t care if Trump wants to buy Greenland or not. I care that he’s pardoning white supremacists who already organized one insurrection. I care that he fired every FBI agent and DoJ official who worked on any of the myriad investigations against him. I care that he got rid of the independent inspectors general of at least 12 major federal agencies.

    What’s more, Trump and Scott Bessent, the newly confirmed treasury secretary, just gave Musk and his “department of government efficiency” (DOGE) cronies unfettered access to Americans’ sensitive information. Musk, a billionaire from South Africa who grew up filthy rich because of apartheid, is not a paid government official. He isn’t a presidential appointee. The Senate has never interviewed him, and they sure haven’t confirmed him because Trump’s Doge isn’t a real government agency.

    But now they have access to your social security number, your address and your work history, and they can stop every dollar you get from the federal government, from your Medicare benefits to your tax return. Remember how mad you were the last time you heard about some huge data breach that might have exposed your personal information? Well, this is the same thing but worse and no one can investigate because Trump fired the inspector general.

    The silence we’re getting from a lot of Americans, regardless of political party, is deafening.

    Too many Republicans and Democrats are doing absolutely nothing to stop Trump, and I can only imagine how their failure to resist thrills the oligarchs in Russia and China who have been praying for this kind of good fortune for generations. It’s one thing to cheer for the madman burning down your house. It’s worse when you know how dangerous it is and have the power to stop him but you don’t. Then, the blood is on your hands, elected officials on both sides of the aisle.

    West Point disbands student-led clubs after Trump’s DEI order

    A memorandum signed by DC Chad Foster this week, verified by the Washington Post, instructs the immediate shutdown of clubs including the Society of Women Engineers, the Latin Cultural Club and Spectrum, an LGBTQ+ support group. The directive requires these organisations to remove all public-facing content and cease all activities.

    The disbanded clubs, many of which have existed for decades, represented diverse cadet experiences, including ethnic heritage groups, professional engineering societies and cultural understanding forums.

    Among those eliminated are organisations supporting Asian Pacific, Native American and Vietnamese American cadets, as well as groups focused on women’s and LGBTQ+ leadership.

    Translation: If you aren't in the Good Ole Boys Club get the f*ck out.

    Donald Trump Jr. accused of shooting protected rare duck in Venice lagoon

    By Barbie Latza Nadeau, CNN
    Published 11:41 AM EST, Wed February 5, 2025

    RomeCNN —

    An Italian lawmaker has filed a legal complaint for hunting without a license against Donald Trump Jr. and his hunting party after video emerged showing him surrounded by dead birds that he and his group allegedly shot in a protected conservation area of the Venice lagoon.

    The carcasses appear to include an orange-brown ruddy shelduck, which is protected under Italian law.

    Andrea Zanoni, a regional councilor for the northern Italian Veneto region, that only residents of the Italian regions can acquire the necessary hunting licenses.

    He says the footage shows Trump Jr. among hunters in the Valle Pierimpie’ a Campagna Lupia, a private marshland in the Venice lagoon.

    Responding to accusations over the duck’s shooting, a spokesperson for Trump Jr. said the US president’s son had the necessary authorizations to hunt and would cooperate with any investigation.

    “Don and his group had all the proper permits and were hunting in a legally allowed area, where there were countless other hunting groups present,” Andy Surabian told CNN in a statement.

    The video was published Sunday in Field Ethos, for which Trump Jr. is listed as co-founder and publisher, described as a “premier lifestyle publication for the unapologetic man.”

    The footage was no longer on the Field Ethos website as of Tuesday and a message on YouTube said the content had been removed by the uploader.

    A lot of these cadets probably voted for Trump.

    Ooops, sorry, a hard-drinking SecDef whose miltary career ended after he was removed from details at risk of being a traitor, and with a history of bankrupting nonprofits & persistent allegations of domestic violence, alcohol abuse, & sexual assault decided to ban their groups.

    I'd pay more attention to what the arab neighbors do than what they're saying right now.

    There weren't any great ideas for rebuilding that land anyways

    Isn't a a great thing that Trump's working to get rid of the fat and fraud in the federal govt. Hopefully those responsible for the fraud are prosecuted. Man, I cant believe what these bureaucrats were doing with our hard earned tax dollars.

    It's not hard all to be a weak b**** dictator - in fact most of them are.

    Hitler looked like a weak drugged out chud - I would beat the crap out of him even now
