Five lads from London head out to RAF Fairford to hook up with an insider from the base’s diesel storage to siphon diesel and nearly bring down Western civilisation. Trump claims he’d had the diesel thieves “under investigation for a long time” and that they were looking to do “big damage.”

Both Trump and Rubio have jumped aboard the bandwagon about the alleged "terrorist" incident at the Fairford air base in the UK. Both have claimed that the suspects had been under surveillance for ages, were nasty, and that foreign bad actors were involved. NONE of that is true! Idiots..!

Mike "Weasel" Johnson sending House members home to avoid Massie's move to impeach Hegseth is blatant manipulation of due process. It REALLY makes me want to see a massive Blue Wave in the mid-terms, so that Hegseth (and others) can be impeached, fired, and held to account. Can Trump block that?

All this angst & chaos because nobody in Trump's gang of cronies has the balls to tell him "Just - NO!" If his "orders" were simply ignored, his bleatings not broadcast, & his crookedness not rewarded, then he would quickly become irrelevant. GOP desperately needs to become cronies with cajones!

All Trump’s malevolence and psychosis will be on full display right after the midterms. We’ve been here before in Nov 2020, and here we go again. The national nightmare of Trump refusing to accept defeat and dragging the country through lies, conspiracies and drama begins again.

Not only is Trump the worst president in USA history, from a job effectiveness point of view, but he is also the most crooked. He is grifting & stealing billions of dollars by every crooked scheme in the book, incl theft, blackmail, selling pardons, crypto schemes, etc. Epstein files, anyone?

Does Trump actually, really, sincerely believe that he is riding high in the polls? Are his cronies keeping him in a completely false bubble of optimism by telling him what he wants to hear? Or does he actually, really, know that he is the worst president in USA history with poll numbers to match?

Now that the other White House news pool organizations have banded together to back the 3 that Trump banned, leaving the publicity-greedy president with no coverage, I can't help but wonder how he will spin it when he reverses the ban. It will be some brain contortions to behold...!

So Trump is now planning to install a "sniper fortress" on his tacky "triumphal arch". 1 - are snipers going to be there 24/7 "just in case"? 2 - what would be their targets? They would have a limited area covered? 3 - why not install snipers on any high buildings instead, if need arises?

Dems really need some leadership - but Schumer and Jeffries are MIA. They need somebody who can bring together the various shades of blue. They also need to be keeping a sharp eye out for some extremely dubious - and illegal - moves from Trump & cronies designed to rig and/or steal the mid-terms.

As diesel reaches $3 AUD per litre here in Australia, there are 3.785 litres in a US gallon. So diesel in Australia has now reached $AUD 11.35 per US gallon. $AUD 11.35 equates to $USD 8.10 So, here in Australia, we are paying $USD 8.10 per US gallon - twice as much as they pay in the USA.

Why does Weasel Mike Johnson have power to say whether Congress actually sits and votes? Surely he should NOT be able to manipulate things by sending everyone home to avoid a vote that might be unfavorable to the GOP? Congress should be working, regardless - not sent home to manipulate outcomes!

Everything Trump touches turns to sh*t! Now he is threatening to close the Kennedy Center because a judge ruled that the board could not add Trump's name back to the building. Yet another dummy spit by Trump, who f*cks everything up! What a childish moronic spoilt self-centered brat Trump is...!

We have to wonder not only at Russian oligarchs paying for Trump Jr's wedding glitz, but also at WHY anybody was needed to pay for it, when the whole Trump family have raked in billions of dollars from this period of administration. The crooks just can't stop grifting, even for Don Jr's wedding..!

Trump now contradicts the very people who are involved in AI, when they warn that AI development needs to slow down before it kills all humans. He says calls for a slowdown are a "hoax". It's more important to him that USA beats China. He doesn't care about people! www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump says AI safety fears a 'hoax' as he rejects calls for greater safeguards
The US president's comments come after Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark told the BBC an AI "kill switch" may need to be mandatory.

When those researching & creating AI systems issue warnings to slow down, as the risk of human extinction is real, then maybe we should listen - and slow down? Except Trump, who knows everything better than anyone ever - he says nope, go for it, as we MUST stay ahead of China..! F*ckin' idiot!

Schumer & Jeffries don't have the balls to take it up to Trump and the GOP. They think they're still playing by Gentleman's Rules, but Trump & his cronies certainly are not. Dems need leaders who will be in Trump's face, & watching out for every trick in the book being used to cheat the mid-terms

Trump & his little pet weasel, Mike Johnson, are planning to refuse to seat Dems after the mid-terms. Mike Pence prevented that situation in 2020 by refusing to play ball. Johnson doesn't have the guts to stand up to Trump like that. It will be a Constitutional crisis. Trump - cheat at all costs

Fetterman needs to be booted from the Dems. If they do that, would that automatically remove him from the Senate, or would he remain as an Independent? If he were to be removed, as he is not representing the people who voted for him, would that trigger a by-election?

Thoracicus @thoracicus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Schumer and Jeffries seem to be missing in action, while Talarico, AOC, & so many others of the younger generation are taking up the cudgels. Surely Dems need to vote in some new, fresh leadership before the mid-terms? What's needed desperately is leadership with mongrel attitude & smarts.

Thoracicus @thoracicus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Isn't now about the right time for Dem "leaders" to be starting to wind up their members & followers? You know - rallying the troops, etc? Where are Schumer & Jeffries hiding? They still think they're playing by "Gentleman's Rules". Where is the mongrel factor badly needed in the Dem leadership?

So Where IS Mitch McConnell? Where are all the mainstream media so-called investigative journalists? Surely somebody must have an urge to find out where the missing senator is? Why hasn't he been reported as missing? If he's not performing his duties, & he's out of sick leave, then sack him!

Trump & his cronies are plotting to rig the mid-term elections. No doubt at all! All the current kerfuffles over feds trying to get voter rolls etc are just distractions. Prepare for something completely unexpected, radical, illegal, brazen, unconstitutional, & unhinged!

Thoracicus @thoracicus.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
With Trump's repeated mantra about "rigged elections", how does he explain that he is actually President, & that GOP have control of both houses, and SCOTUS? You'd think that if the Dems rigged elections, they'd have won? And in 2020, Trump was President anyway so how did Biden "rig" elections?

Does anyone else also have a sinister sense of foreboding about what sneaky trick Trump and his cronies will pull to rig the mid-term elections? All the tricks that are out of the bag already - gerrymandering, mail-in suppression, etc etc - are surely just a diversion from the real dirty work?

So now Trump has had all the weeping willow trees cut down at the Kennedy Center. They were planted as a symbol of the grief over JFK's death. Just like the Rose Garden, Trump devastates anything alive and green, replacing it with concrete and bad taste. He is the biggest vandal in DC by far...!

In a world ruled by Elons, be a Dolly. RIP Dolly Parton, who kept sharing her wealth with those less fortunate so that she could never become a billionaire.

Here's the thin end of the wedge. The corrupt SCOTUS so-called "justices", led by John Roberts, are playing into Trump's hands in rigging the mid-term elections. There are fewer than 10 weeks to go - what other rigging will occur in that time? www.ft.com/content/b89d...
