He’s a very naughty boy!

Sorry but laughing at Trump’s latest attempt at ā€˜divine intervention’ is the only option for me. šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

As Jeremy Vine said this morning, ā€˜He’s gone full (party) balloon.’

Where are the men in white coats?

But we live in democracy's where the majority take all. and Trump had over 2 million more votes cast for him than did Kamala Harris.

The Democrats shot themselves in the foot by keeping Biden in office long after he was up to the job and the Republicans seem to have learnt nothing from history and are now doing the same thing themselves

Not all voted for him Monica so not fair to blame all Americans.
It would be like blaming the whole of the UK for the Brexit disaster when only just over half the population caused it.

I do feel sorry for the American people. Trump is like a bull in a china shop wrecking everything.

They have only themselves to blame - they voted for him - and it is his second time, so they have voted for him twice.

Macaydia my post was in answer to our American grans and if you ever read my posts over many years you will know how I feel about what has happened in Gaza and other parts of the world and the fall out in our own country and others.
You are preaching to the converted.

How about feeling sorry for non-American people. The damage goes beyond their borders.

I have seen two responses to Mr Vance's comments on his understanding of Catholic doctrine challenging the Pope.
A certain Ms Navratilova said that she was awaiting advice from Mr Vance on improving her serve and chess player Mr Kasparov was looking forward to Mr Vance explaining the Sicilian defence ( whatever that might be.)
I do hope that they are true posts

I have to take a break sometimes for my mental health. He will still be doing stupid things when I get back.

"casdon" I watched Jon Stewart who thinks he is supposed to be the dead guy.šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚.

I don’t think it’s funny,either. Beyond a joke.

FranP Fri 17-Apr-26 23:03:33

Sorry, I could not laugh - I found it deeply offensive.

And more worryingly, he seems to be suffering from advanced megalomania - the last leader who had that was Idi Amin, and before that Hitler

It must be awful imariund. One of my friends is active in democrats abroad. Still has family in the states, we have a real moaning grumbling everything is awful culture here currently. We need to count our blessings and thank god we don’t have Trump and co in charge

It’s as though the USA is in the grip of the cult of Trump. Hard to believe that my childhood memories of a wealthy, advanced country have been demolished by a wrecking ball of psychopathic crazy

I learned that Vance is allegedly Opus Dei. And Opus Dei don't agree with the Pope on much. Which would explain the arrogance towards the Pope, IMO.

Oh, it's a cult. That explains much.

Proverbs 26:12: ā€œSeest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.ā€

Excellent, Norah.

And terrifying, too.

Iam64 Fri 17-Apr-26 13:40:35

Vance seeing himself as a better Catholic than the Pope is straight out of the Trump guide to wonderfulness.

Norah - proverb 26,12 is perfect for the Trumpions, thanks

ā€œI was watching an Amerian newsclip this morning with so called Catholic Vance. I couldn't believe it when he actually said that the Pope should stay out of politicsā€

Further, that he ought to be very careful indeed when opining on theology.

The Pope? 🤣

Unbelievable. Does Vance, the convert, believe he knows more about theology than the head of the Catholic Church?

It would seem he thinks he does.

Proverbs 26:12: ā€œSeest thou a man wise in his own conceit? There is more hope of a fool than of him.ā€ - None is so blind as he who will not see.

In case anyone is keeping track, this seat was already a Dem, but this is another progressive candidate over a more moderate Dem. It continues the recent trend all over the country.

The pendulum continues to swing.

Maybe the floating plastic patch will come by and swallow him up?

Wyllow3 Thu 16-Apr-26 23:04:37

That would suit much better. Surrounded by pointless and tasteless expensive glitter.

It is heartbreaking to see. So much history being destroyed. I nearly cried when Melania tore out Jackie's rose garden during his first term. But I love historical buildings and learning the stories that made them what they are.

You do have a point Casdon. Instead, let's seal him in at Maralago. Then when it sinks due to the climate change he made worse, he will be all alone with the fishes.
