What’s the difference between MAGA and Nazis? Nazis had rocket scientists.

Just a thought, but perhaps the people of Hungary wanted to choose their own leader, rather than have America stick its nose into something that’s none of its business.

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” William Congreve (1697). I bet Ms Bondi might identify with this sentiment at the moment.

Old Mate has painted himself into a corner. No regime change in Iran as a result of military action. Either: he gives up and looks a complete buffoon, or thousands of marines on the ground to open the Hormuz “straight”. Small wonder no-one else wants to get involved.

This has probably been posted here already, but Cadet Bone Spurs being given a Guard of Honour by real soldiers must have been galling for them.

Some of you might have noticed the letter sent by Combover Caligula to the government of Japan in regards to tariffs. For your entertainment I attach a similar letter sent to the penguins and seals of Heard and McDonald Islands.

I understand that Musk wants to make up with Combover Caligula, and wants to give him a one-way ticket to Mars as a peace offering.

This, apparently, is the master bedroom on Combover Caligula’s “palace in the sky”. “Understated elegance” doesn’t spring to mind.

I can’t remember who said it first, but, eighty years after the end of the Second World War, Russia and the US are again combining forces. However, this time it’s to bring Nazism back to Germany, if Vance has his way.

Combover Caligula will be upset because he can’t go golfing this weekend. No doubt he will try to make the Papal funeral all about himself. I remember the video of him at the re-opening of Notre Dame. He had a little nappy accident, which amused those around him.

Truly interesting times when judges who uphold the law are labelled “rogue”, but a President who ignores their rulings, and the Constitution, is called a “patriot”.
