Slow motion train wreck. you can't look away.
 
What do you call a President who makes up totally fictitious and easily provable lies to boost his story ?

Trump History: Biden appointed Powell, Epstein died four years ago and his uncle knew the Unabomber​

In the past 24 hours, Donald Trump has rewritten history three times.

First, he said that he had discussed the Unabomber, Ted Kaczynski, with his late uncle, John Trump. “Kaczynski was one of his students”, Trump said at an AI and energy summit on Tuesday. “I said, ‘What kind of a student was he, Uncle John?’ Dr John Trump. I said, ‘What kind of a student?’ And then he said, ‘Seriously, good.’ He said, ‘He’d correct – he’d go around correcting everybody’. But it didn’t work out too well for him”.

But John Trump died in 1985, 11 years before anyone knew the identity of the Unabomber. Trump’s uncle also taught electrical engineer at MIT, where there is no record of Kaczynski, a mathematician, ever having studied.

Then Trump told reporters in the Oval office on Wednesday that he was “surprised” when Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, was appointed by Joe Biden. But Powell was appointed by Trump himself in 2017, before being re-appointed by Biden in 2022.

Finally, Trump told reporters on Wednesday that Jeffrey Epstein, the notorious sex trafficker he used to socialize with, had “died three or four years ago”. But Epstein died in federal custody in 2019, when Trump was president, not during the Biden administration.

The fact that the president recounted what must have been an imaginary conversation about the Unabomber with his uncle, and which had no obvious political benefit for him, led some observers to suggest that the 79-year-old was simply confused and exhibiting signs of age.

But, by suggesting that the Fed chair who now refuses to follow his orders was not his choice but Biden’s, and that Epstein’s much-speculated about death took place during the Biden administration, Trump might have been simply trying to confuse the public with a new, fictional, timeline.

 
Taking the politically argument / tribal / cult whatever positions out of it the massive funding of ICE, ICE running around masked up etc is unprecedented in US history and unnecessary. Add the behaviour of the DOJ aggressive language aimed at the judiciary, threatening language towards criticism (media / law firms) I am genuinely surprised at the acceptance from the conservatives here on the forum.
These are all massive threats to democracy/ free speech/ rule of law and yet silence.
Unprecedented?

On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shootings was dramatic. The event triggered a nationwide student strike that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close.

Yep your talking the National Guard long been used in civil unrest also where a clear chain of command exists I am talking ICE that are causing civil unrest while acting as a paramilitary group note only one of them wears masks to cover identity and seizes people of the streets then deports them without due process.

and ...
On May 14, 1970, city and state police confronted a group of students outside a Jackson State University campus dormitory. Shortly after midnight, the police opened fire, killing two students and injuring twelve.

- Jackson State was a 'black' campus
 
Congestive heart failure? He is nearly 80. Probably will be OK over the short term. I am sure he will be getting the best medical care.
Swollen ankles, bruise on hand covered with makeup.


 
Trump is doing exactly what was needed. Pushing Australia towards Asia. We need to be done as the yanks lapdog.
 
U.K and Germany sign a defence treaty, at last Europe growing up and flicking the bird at Russia, rather than allowing Russia to kick sand in their face.
Well done Donald, getting the kids to grow up and grow a pair. Lol

WhiteHouse stating Trump has a vein condition causing issues and he hasn't got heart issues.

Exactly the same recycled story that the media was pushing about Putin's "cancer" last year and the exact same story media outlets were pushing about xi the Pooh few weeks ago (which most Western media is too terrified to pick up) literally the exact same story. Clickbait 101

It's irrelevant. Just a bunch of words on some paper to keep the management consultants who wrote the agreements paid. What does it change? Nothing. What is the outcome? More money being spent on stuff that does not benefit the population of either country. Just virtue signalling political optics.
 


Let's go db8 :cool:

burn baby burn - that's a beautiful thaing - never been done before - biggest event in history - never seen anything like it - eat a di... err dawg :roflmao:

It was true and the Presidents spokesman has addressed it. See later post from the BBC I posted this morning.
I called out Putin's cancer as click bait at the time. Daily Mail. A real rag.

Elon sees an in. Wonder if his party will cause problems for Republicans
 
I like this bit...

“Mr Murdoch stated that he would take care of it but obviously did not have the power to do so,” Trump wrote. “Instead they are going with a false, malicious, defamatory story anyway. President Trump will be suing the Wall Street Journal, News Corp and Mr Murdoch shortly.”


Maybe that was what the meeting with Rudd was all about. LOL. Mutual hate for the Murdochs 👍

Well Europe has at least publicly been exposed by Russia, as being unable to do anything to curb Russia's expansionary policies and the EU has committed to improving its defensive capabilities.
That in itself, is a whole lot better than what has been happening for the last 3 years, where Ukraine has been basically abadoned by its neighbours, because they are in no position to apply any pressure on Russia.

Trump-ars Caesar's last ill fated trip to the forum; as the senators all stick their demands in for the release of the Epstein files, the tyrant reals wounded and flailing... and then at last the birthday card to, 'bestie and chief Pedo', signed by Trump-arse himself...'of secrets and sex' ...
'ahhh ....Et tu Rupuss'
