Oh, he remembers. It’s just he pretends not to for when he ignores and dismantles the US constitution.

We spent three weeks in Vegas, LA and Honolulu at the end of 2023. It was fabulous. Today it’s a trip we wouldn’t even consider.

There is no way he would look anything like so courageous or dignified headed to Mme Guillotine. He would be wailing like a baby.

Three months ago I thought the collapse of NATO would be a bad thing, now I am far less certain. I’m not sure we should be fighting on behalf of a dystopian regime, well actually I’m sure we shouldn’t.

This and the security balls up demonstrate the absolute contempt with which he sees anyone but the US. The countries who are currently allies are more than aware of this. Certainly in the UK most people do not see the US as a trusted ally any longer.

Because he plans to find some BS reason to invade Canada to demonstrate how powerful he is (nope) and to have a sound reasoning for not having a 2028 election……or just to suppress protest. I do recognise it was a rhetorical question. Cheers

He aims for the presidency to be life long and hereditary. Currently he’s just testing the water. If you tell a lie often enough it becomes normalised, which is pretty much his MO.

I agree. Your system looks odd and prone to abuse in all manners of ways. I think the 2024 election was fixed and don’t see how with the current regime you will be able to return to free and fair elections. It must be terrifying.

The Daily Mail is a newspaper on the right of British media and normally extremely pro-Trump. All the British press are saying the same thing, as I would imagine are most of European news.

From the outside it looks like you have a king and not even a modern one, late 18th century at best but with high tech. Such a disaster.

Looks more like a Roman Emperor or fascist dictator than a king to me.

Disappointed as Trump would not see the diversity that is there to be celebrated, but given who he would likely spend time with, the narrative of division and hatred that the right feed on.

It is not unthinkable that the US regime is undermining Europe and seeking to divert their forces to peacekeeping in Ukraine so that if they send troops into Canada, the NATO article 5 response would be weakened.

Unfortunately that presupposes a) that the constitution hasn’t been dismantled to the point that they actually take place, b) that they aren’t rigged or manipulated by hackers working for the current regime.

I tend to think that there will be a huge number of people across the globe who will effectively boycott the USA for the next four years and possibly beyond.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

They are also pushing “positive eugenics” by pushing the idea that “their” people should have more children. This was central to Nazi Germany’s eugenics policies.

The head of Pasadena Humane says that they're taking names of people who are willing to foster animals that are coming into the shelter that are displaced from the Eaton Fire. She says that the main thing they need is money. Please donate if you're looking for a way to help.
