A total embarrassment. The whole world is watching in amazement as Trump et al flush America's reputation down the toilet.

It's turned into a massive grift for Trump and his pals. Hopefully the next Democrat administration will ruthlessly prosecute those who have participated in this and make sure they never enjoy their ill-gotten gains because they're languishing behind bars.

Standing?

The mass selling of oil futures has occurred several times prior to Trump announcing positive news. This is clearly nothing more than a grift. The next administration must ruthlessly prosecute those who have played their part in this and make sure they never enjoy their ill-gotten gains.

Indeed. It's all a big grift. Several times over the past few weeks oil futures have been sold shortly before a positive announcement re the US and Iran. The next Democrat government should ruthlessly prosecute anyone who has played a role in this and the wider demise of the US.

I've been disappointed by Starmer but geopolitics is foremost at present and he is handling the lunatic that is Trump pretty well and as long as he continues to do so he should remain in post.

The fuckers are stiffing us all regardless of where we are. There's millions more 'middle class' in Europe than the US and we're all being fucked over too. Thankfully this will result in a change in the world order, a weaker America and a stronger Europe. And about time too.

Another pump and dump for Trump and his pals.

The US used to be defenders of democracy now they're just a grubby authoritarian state. Hopefully these fuckers will go the same way as Orban.

Yaxley-Lennon crying into his ensaimada and café con leche. Nice.

Yeah and it's fucking great.

When I was a cycle messenger in the 90s any collection or drop in the Spitalfields area wasn't complete without a quick pitstop at the Brick Lane Bakery and yes, I'm sure that had a big 'beigel' on the sign.

And 77 million voters who understand even less.

That metro is fab. We stayed in Lille (also fab) last year and took the metro to Roubaix to visit the awesome La Piscine Museum.

I really enjoyed that too.

But no 'big problems' for Russia who have been helping the IRGC target US military facilities...

US govt is more aligned with Putin than European democracies these days. Everyone I know and come across here in the UK detests Trump, Vance, Hegseth, and thinks they're vile, cruel, and stupid as fuck. I'm in Paris in a few weeks and I'm sure the vast majority of people there will think the same.

And sickeningly he'll have the support of the American and Russian governments.

Laughing all the way to the bank. Literally.

@alan678.bsky.social theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #woodland so here's a Jay in the woods last summer.

And Vance says the EU is meddling....hopefully this weekend will see the end of Orban and it will be the death knell for this plague of far right bullshit.

Must be time for a pint. Cheers from Brighton.

All beholden to AIPAC.

Must be mistaking the Berlin Trilogy as Bowie's Nazi phase.

If Orban loses, does not concede defeat, and sets about trying to annul the result through a judiciary packed with his supporters then the EU must seriously consider Hungary's position within the union or at the very least suspend its voting rights.

That's because he's a fucking moron, utterly out of his depth, and now he's threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. How on earth have we come to this point and no one is dragging him from the White House. The US is fast becoming a failed state.

Oh the irony

Yep. Removed immediately. Preferably dragged kicking and screaming from the WH in a straitjacket.
