Christ. She used to be his press spokesperson, and is now the (pro-Trump) Governor of Arkansas. I am starting to think maybe MAGA is breaking apart.

I am starting to think maybe MAGA is breaking apart.

There appears to be a clear split between "America First" folk that don't support Israel (Carlson, Fuentes, Owens, Jones, Greene etc.) that have been recently critical of Tr*mp, and those MAGA die-hards that wear their Israeli support as a badge of honour (like Sara HB).

They will stick with the Don on the most part.

I see the Enfant Tangerine is now saying that:

• He speaks more for the British people than Prince Harry;
• The US should review its position on UK sovereignty over the Falklands because we won't join his war;
• He wants NATO to suspend Spain's membership.

I'm getting exhausted by all this; yet he has his worshippers in this country, FFS.

Trump is a gift for Starmer on this stuff

[Watchman]

The Falklands? Any word from Nigel and the Patriots, about the Shit-Gibbon pissing on the graves of Maggie and “our brave lads”

The Navy Secretary was spectacularly unqualified, but this is a pretty harsh sacking.

Last time the US built a battleship was 1944.

His inner circle past and present, will be in full self preservation mode when he shuffles. The lies they will tell will be worthy of shithead himself. About how they stood up to him, disagreed with him, stopped him doing things, watered things down, not to mention blame shifting and the good old "just following orders" perhaps with a "he threatened my family" thrown in. The weaseling will be like the Nazis after WW2.

Might as well build a biplane, an airship, a steam train or a three master.

Might as well build... a steam train

Ahem.

They're after Mallard's record.

Well OK.
But if they do crank a steam loco up to 128mph it's another show pony.
Just like the USS Battleship Trump would be.

An achievement, a remarkable one, but hardly a practical salvation for US railways.

[Boiler]

Another useless attempt.

I imagine most of those sentiments were typed or said through gritted teeth and with fingers crossed behind the back.

His security team don't seem that good considering the amount of times gunmen get close.

Sky News tried to present the shooting as a sign of how polarised politics have become in recent years but they failed to point out who was chiefly responsible for creating all the division and hate.

Its what grownup leaders do. Trump of course will see leaders who dislike him sending their support and best wishes as arse lickers bending to his power.

[Andy McDandy]

A new talking point ("This is why we need the new ballroom") seems to have landed very quickly.

Also under scrutiny is KKKaroline Leavitt, who before the dinner made some comments about how it promised to be an exciting event, and that "shots will be fired".

Conspiracy mumblings aside, it does seem strange that an event attended by the president, the VP, the House speaker and all their families (isn't there supposed to be a rule about not having them all together, just in case of something like this?) has such shoddy security.

[Samanfur]

Especially since Trump's boycotted it for the last few years, since he doesn't like the fact that he can't control what everyone there says.
