You know how MAGAS say that the rest of the world now respects the President and the USA? New statue for the Strasbourg Parliament.
A golden statue of an obese Trump sitting on the  shoulders of a man who struggles under his weight. Trump is naked. The statue is called The Orange Plague or The King of Injustice.

The President of the United States just asked Texans to pledge to cheat in the midterm election. Any comments, media?

America has started over 53 wars in its short 250 years of history. The Islamic republic of Iran has started zero wars in the same time frame! But Iran is a terrorist Nation while America is a peaceful nation? 🤔🤔🤔 Something isn’t adding up

It’s funny that a rumor that the US president was taken to a hospital has millions of Americans on the edge of their seats just waiting for that glorious announcement. If other countries are reading this… we hate him more than you could ever imagine. HATE him!

If you think that dealing with Russia is like dealing with any other nation, think again. They care not one jot for human life. It’s all expendable- even their own. They will not give up in Ukraine unless they’re brought to their knees.
Text from “The Western Approaches “ museum in Liverpool. It reads that 27 million Russians lost their lives in WW2, 2/3rds civilians. Average life span for a soldier in the siege of Stalingrad was less than 24hours. For every 1 British soldier that died, 60 Russians died.

I sat next to a charming man today in a hospital waiting room. He told me that his wife of 60 years died this January. We talked about books and found that we’d read many the same. He misses conversation so I’m happy that we shared some quality convo.

Perhaps @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social the BBC should sue Mr Trump for slander. One billion should do it. Panorama are guilty of editing 50 minutes of ranting down to a palatable bite. Those were his words. He said them. He should own them.
