The answer of someone without empathy or any other redeeming qualities of any kind. The POTUS, the supposed ‘leader’. 77.3 million voted for this, again, in full knowledge of what it was. Shame on them all.
I can’t help thinking of the film and novel ‘Deliverance’ whenever his views are recorded or he appears on screen (thankfully rarely in UK). A GOP extremist of the purist kind.
Iran: And so the House, with a narrow GOP majority, predictably follows the Senate in its sycophancy to Trump. What is particularly galling is that four Democrats voted, in effect, to support him. That party is never going to get anywhere when it quivers and equivocates feebly like this.

Noem: it would be a challenge to pick out the most incompetent or most vile of Trump's cabinet (and press office) of horrors. But it's a start.
This 'special relationship' nonsense yet again. Nobody believes it, least of all with this bunch. It was time it was put out of the UK's misery.

Leavitt has been lying, again. Spain has categorically and angrily denied that it's agreed to let US use its bases to support their illegal war. But who, domestically, is going to call out this detestable little glove puppet, or any of this administration's officials?
Any idea that Congress is a check on tyranny is dead. Ditto any doubt that the cowardly Collins deserves to lose her reelection bid & that Fetterman deserves expulsion from the Dem caucus. The latter is this cycle’s Manchin/Sinema: a disgrace and absolute useful idiot for this regime.

‘Stupid rules of engagement’ (Hegseth). There you have it, folks. Acts of state terrorism being carried out virtually by the hour by a former gameshow host and an ex-‘news’ correspondent.
What an obnoxious little glove puppet Leavitt is. She belongs on North Korean tv (although at the rate US media is capitulating…), If not jail.
And now Netanyahu’s government threatens to assassinate Iran's new leader, whoever it is. This is state terrorism - no more, no less. The next atrocity committed against Jewish people anywhere by fanatics will be traceable, not for the first time, to hypocrisy and double standards like this.
At what point is the UK Government ever going to tell Trump to f**k off, and that King Charles isn't coming? The most depressing finding is that the % of British approving US terrorism - because that’s what it is- is so high.

The second State Visit was a huge mistake, and a disaster. King Charles’s State Visit should be called off. Of course, it won’t be. This UK government doesn’t have the guts. And the opposition (Tories, Reform) are worse: so far up Trump’s fundament they practically pop out of his mouth. Degrading.
If only. He seems to draw strength from his own evil.
I’m afraid you only have to look at the voting pattens of the overwhelming majority of service personnel, their conditioning to obey orders, proclivity for violence and (often) need for a ‘father’ figure especially for those from disrupted and/or poor backgrounds, to know the answer to that one.
Given that the capricious Trump now has such a low opinion of the UK (‘interview‘with Murdoch’s Sun - the brave boy never submits to a grilling), the King's State Visit should be pulled. And it would be if Starmer’s government had any balls. 'Special relationship' my arse.
Trump, Hegseth, Rubio… There is not one member of this appalling administration I would p*** on if they were on fire. Not sadly, that there is the remotest danger of that, given the billions of dollars spent protecting these individuals.
Living illustration of the old saying that 'a fish rots from the head'. This administration is so rancid and corrupt in every respect that it can probably be smelled from outer space.

Irony is dead. The assassination of Khameini was ‘murder’ and 'a cynical violation of all norms of human morality' (Putin). He would know... If hypocrisy caused all world 'leaders' to spontaneously combust, it'd be an empty stage.
If so, I share your derangement. We can’t vote against a ‘War President’ can we, is the logic… What a vile and evil man (and administration) this is.
Khameini: if true, I shed no tears, but this is totally the wrong way to go about it; it has been undertaken for the worst of motives by two other extremely evil men who are both amoral and immoral, in both cases wanting to divert attention from their own crimes.
What a State the Union is In.There will be few more nauseating images this year than that of Vance and the glove puppet Johnson applauding, gurning and grinning behind the travesty of a president who should be in jail. Well done, 77.3m idiots and worse, well done.
The UK Government is planning to send King Charles to the US to celebrate with Trump. But after his latest insults to British troops, sending Charle to honour Trump, would be a slap in the face to veterans. Will you add your name to cancel this state visit? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ca...

Thus speaketh yet another Reform UK multimillionaire… And, of course, just as in the US, a depressingly large number who haven't got much and who can't rub two drumsticks together will still vote for the Right, even as their own throats are slit. Why? Because 'Nige' will send 'them' all back...
It almost goes without saying that Putin, Trump, Netanyahu, Orban, Musk and Murdoch are a sextet of extraordinarily evil men. What I find extraordinary - and extraordinarily unforgivable - is that nothing bad ever, ever seems to happen to any of them.
