Former Python believer, now totally devoted to Julia! I believe Trump's tenure has created a crisis for democracy and diplomacy worldwide.

While even Canada's Conservative Leader offered praise for Carney's speech in Davos, all Trump could mutter was "Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements". Turns out when you can't argue with the message, you just threaten the mesenger.

"...We want a piece of ice for world protection, and they won’t give it...You can say yes and we will be very appreciative. Or you can say no and we will remember..."! But, will he? "Our stock market took the first dip yesterday because of Iceland...So Iceland's already cost us a lot of money"

In China, there's a nickname for Trump that tells you how his actions are increasingly seen as a gift to Beijing. They call him Chuan Jianguo, which translates to "nation-builder" - a mocking title suggesting his foreign and domestic policies are pushing countries away from the US towards China.

Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel Peace Prize for having stopped 8 Wars PLUS, I no longer feel an obligation to think purely of Peace, although it will always be predominant, but can now think about what is good and proper for the United States of America.

The latest diplomatic dispatch from trump – presumably scrawled in crayon and full of caps lock – informs Norway that he is no longer “obligated to think purely of peace.” A dummy spit of presidential proportions for being denied the prize! Norway must be dazzled! www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Coup planner awards self peace medal while his sanctions starve the nation. Cartoonish act mocking both Nobel’s legacy and Venezuela’s suffering. A cheap, stolen prop for his cult, inflating his ego while crushing their country. Ultimate insult to every true laureate and Venezuela’s struggle.

Pirates of the Caribbean! Trump's lawless seizure of a Venezuelan tanker is modern piracy. By not objecting, all Americans are complicit in this dangerous aggression that flouts international law.

Absolutely disgusting! He can’t even feign compassion. While asked about honoring a fallen National Guardsman, he boasts about his election win. This is the most vile, self-absorbed disgrace. An utter moral vacuum.

Trump's projection is astounding. The real traitors here are the sycophants and criminals he surrounds himself with. He's a delusional, wannabe autocrat whose own administration is a parade of convicts. Trump is the crime!

Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
Yet again, Trump's deluded fantasy clashes with reality. He is a serial liar, and his flagrant garbage insults the intelligence of everyone (except his followers). He is an abject failure, and an embarrassment to the office.

Good riddance to this bigot. A great one for racist, Islamophobic, and anti-LGBTQ remarks, as well as comparisons between COVID-19 policies and the Holocaust. Her resignation, forced by Trump's vile misogyny, is a fitting end to a career defined by racism and hatred. A perfect, pathetic finale.

I could imagine he would offer a biblical quote like, "A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid anyone who talks too much." Proverbs 20:19 Thus side-steping the substance of the threat by morally framing the act of repeating it as a greater sin, dismissing the question without condemning his boss.

The science of stupidity! It takes a special kind of bureaucratic genius to feed the very monster of misinformation you're tasked with fighting. Handing a match to arsonists and calling it "transparency" is a masterclass in stunning incompetence that puts lives at risk for no discernible benefit.

Don't stop! A fitting end would be for his two greatest admirers to claim their prize. Given his fondness for absolute rulers, a quote for bin Salman is perfect: "He will cut him to pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 24:51)

Hard to imaging the current administration considering the swastika's ancient history when they deemed it acceptable. But, it has been a positive symbol for 10,000+ years across Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, and Native cultures, representing well-being and good fortune. Tragically co-opted in 20th century!
000
Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 21/11/2025
Conduct unbecoming! A swastika is one of the clearest symbols of hatred in all of humanity… to remove that designation… indicates a possible collaboration with those very elements, which I think is genuinely frightening to any American.

Always the abuser! Advocating the death penalty for political opponents is the raving of a wannabe dictator. This vile rhetoric, accusing others of sedition while actively undermining democracy, reveals a dangerous megalomaniac who must never hold power again. A chilling new low.

A month is a lifetime when you're a victim. The constant delays raise the question: who is the justice system protecting? Every day of inaction is a betrayal to those who have already suffered unimaginable trauma. Their courage demands urgency.

Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
The described behavior is a disgraceful moral failure. It reveals a corrupt worldview that betrays allies and embraces autocrats, putting a price on human rights and dignity. This hypocrisy is a brown stain on diplomacy and an affront to American values. The hallmark of Trump and his cronies!

Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 19/11/2025
Remember this - Trump and his court jesters would not even be in power if it weren't for the third of eligible American voters who elected them last November. Also too, the third of your fellow countrymen and women who could have helped shape the nation's future at the ballot box, but chose not to!

So shocking that anyone (let alone a US president) can hide behind their 1st Amendment rights to say almost any heinous and derogatory thing they like. In civilized countries, strong vilification laws would penalize such vile speech. America clearly needs to review its lack of hate speech laws!

Higgins voted No, stating the bill "...abandons 250 years of criminal justice procedure in America..." and its broad release of files "...to a rabid media, will absolutely result in innocent people being hurt.” I hope for his sake that his "innocent people" are the underage victims of this horror!

Finally, after a record-breaking government shutdown and years of inexplicable delays, the House has heroically voted to start the process of maybe looking at documents. The wheels of justice grind so slowly, one might think they were designed to stall. Not to the Senate for further deliberation!

A self-inflicted wound, sold as a cure. Trump's master plan, to fix the inflation he denies exists, is to partially undo the very tariffs he insists didn't cause it? A perfect, self-serving circle of nonsense. The only thing he's cutting is the last shred of logical consistency. What a hero!

Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 18/11/2025
The true criminals aren't the anxious pawns, but the king and his court jesters. Trump and his Republican accomplices who orchestrate these unconstitutional crises must be held fully accountable for the destruction they have incited, or this dangerous cycle will never end!

In simple monetary terms, according to cmsny.org/importance-o..., Trump's forced deportations "... could cost over $500 billion to implement and would sacrifice billions in tax revenue per year. It also would lead to labor shortages and reduce the GDP by $5.1 trillion over the next ten years..."!

Behold the Grand Old Party, fulfilling the scripture: Matthew 3:7 "For they are a brood of vipers," who see a cloud and promise sunshine, then feel a raindrop and declare a flood. James 1:8 - Their words are a double-minded mirage, unstable in all their ways. A perfect performance of pious chaos!

Willfully rejecting science is an act of national sabotage. It leaves us vulnerable, uncompetitive, and unprepared for the future. Sacrificing our children's education to appease anti-intellectualism isn't faith; it's a cowardly surrender that will cripple generations to come.

Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 18/11/2025
Like magic, his sudden "transparency" is a calculated farce. He knows his allies have already sanitized the evidence, scrubbing any trace of his and his oligarch friends' depravity. This is a performance for the gullible, not a pursuit of justice. But, weren't the files just a Democrats "hoax"?

... we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents... Well, it's a job that attracts a certain type: those whose career options are limited by a lack of intellect and an excess of bully's instinct. They fail at anything requiring nuance, so they're given a badge and a quota instead of a scalpel.

The author of that post should have heeded Proverbs 17:28. Those who follow Trump are certainly not Patriots. Quite the opposite! Because of them, the US is more divided, less respected, and teetering on the edge of authoritarianism. Their blind loyalty betrayed the nation's true ideals.

This incident is a stark reminder - racism remains deeply embedded in American enforcement. From traffic stops to violent confrontations - data and daily experiences show a pattern of disproportionate targeting of people of color. A "black stain" on the soul of the US is persistent and undeniable!
000
Jim​ Waldron @waldroj.bsky.social · 17/11/2025
Completely agree. The Trump experiment proved that government requires experience, integrity, and competence. Electing a corrupt, incompetent racist led to chaos, insurrection, and the elevation of unqualified minions, severely damaging our institutions. A prefect storm of failure!

This is good to see, but do not mistake Trump for the disease; he is merely a symptom. The real sickness is the millions who cheer as ICE cages children and the political machine that enables this cruelty. This rot will not leave with him. It must be dug out, root and stem, by every decent American.
