I'm still gob-smacked that there are 37% - over a third - of people who still approve of Trump and the way he is doing his job.
One in every three people approve - that is crazy high, when Trump is so clearly becoming more & more mentally incapacitated, deranged, demented, vindictive, & senile.
The corruption of Trump & his entire bunch of cronies is staggering!
Market manipulation & insider trading is rampant, as the rich grow richer, and the poor get poorer.
I doubt that it's coincidence that Hitler also announced plans to build a ballroom with bunkers under it, and also a "triumphal arch" 3 times the size of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.
The ballroom/bunker was built, but the arch wasn't, as far as I know.
Trump channeling Hitler - again!
While celebrating Peter Magyar's win in Hungary, it should be remembered that he is still a conservative right-wing politician.
Just not as far-right as Orban, & in particular, no friend of Russia (or so we're told).
Magyar is not a progressive liberal democrat at all.
But he's better than Orban!
Okay, who did this? 😂
Top US military brass should be meeting & arranging a military takeover of government. They need to include the Secret Service: get the bosses to stand them all down.
Then arrest all the administration Trump allies, including Hegseth, Miller, Cheung, Vance, Vought, Patel, Lutnick, et al.
& Trump!
While the current focus is on Trump & Hegseth losing the Iran war, Israel's flagrant breach of the ceasefire in Lebanon, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, the economic disaster caused by Trump...
LET'S NOT FORGET THE EPSTEIN FILES.
It's all still in there!
Impeachment, removal, & jail is WAY overdue.
Current focus is on the Iran war, & Israel's flagrant breach of the ceasefire by hundreds of bomb & missile strikes in Lebanon, killing hundreds of civilians. Israel doesn't care one iota for civilians.
Let's not forget that they're still murdering them in Gaza, where the genocide continues.
People pussyfoot around this issue under fear of being accused of antisemitism
Israel is an out-of-control rogue nation. It is nuclear armed. Netanyahu & his far right govt are murderous psychopaths who commit genocide in both Gaza and now Lebanon.
Israel is a far bigger threat to peace than Iran
Netanyahu is seething that Trump was forced into this "ceasefire" by Iran & Trump's own sense of failure, that the Iran war wasn't going to plan. Just as his generals no doubt told him before Hegseth fired them for saying so.
Now Bibi is going scorched earth on Lebanon, in breach of the ceasefire!
As predicted in posts at the start of the Iran war, Israel is using the cover of the war on Iran to expand its borders to the north a long way into Lebanon. They're calling it a "buffer zone" - but one that has been genocidally cleared of any Shia Muslims. Just like they are still doing in Gaza.
Hegseth's line of ranting about "God-given war", "God give us strength to vanquish the heathens", and "Let's kill all the Iranians in God's name" makes him sound amazingly worse than the Ayatollahs on the other side.
Israel isn't America's friend at all.
It is America's master, its controller, its string-puller.
Bibi says, and Trump jumps.
While Putin and Xi watch on and smile...
The rumours were right & Bondi is out.
Got the boot. Fired. Let go. Made redundant. Sacked.
The reason? Because she didn't "execute Trump's vision for the DOJ" well enough.
The DOJ is supposed to be independent, & uphold the law.
it is NOT there to "execute the vision" of a vindictive old fart.
Trump's speech to the nation. More blathering self-praise & claims of victory.
After some anticipation of good stuff that never eventuated, the market reacted decisively as soon as the speech blathered off into usual territory.
Starting to hear rumours that Pam Bondi is about to get fired.
Problem is - all replacements among the current administration are as bad as each other.
So Bullshit Barbie doesn't like this photo of her with her kid.
So the White House ordered it removed from Getty Images.
Meanwhile, Trump seems to be getting bored with the Iran War he started.
Priorities matter - so it would be a real pity for this photo to be shared.
I'm back from overseas & back into occasional but pointed comments.
Insiders in Trump's circle have been using this digital wallet on a betting/trading platform called Polymarket. They bet $500k on the exact time the USA first struck Iran.
Now they're betting $800k on a ground invasion of Iran.
For those who follow & read my intermittent thoughts & commentary on whatever’s going on, I’m overseas working for the next couple of weeks, with only occasional internet access - like today.
I’ll try to catch up with snarky - but factual - comments when I get home at Easter.
I posted here at the start of the Iran war that it would not surprise anyone if Israel were to emerge from the chaos with expanded borders, having taken the opportunity to claim new settlements under cover of the war.
Guess what they're doing...!
If this is true, it might, just might, reflect the SCOTUS starting to shy away from being full-blooded Trump supporters 6:3?
Maybe this is the thin end of the wedge with SCOTUS starting to test the waters on applying a handbrake to Trump's excesses & megalomania?

Why is Fetterman even listed as a Dem?
Surely he is Republican through & through?
He votes with them, against the Dems, he refuses to sign a letter that every other Dem signed, and more...
What does Trump have on this guy?

Oh, don't forget Kash Patel - him too!
Trump & his whole band of cronies need to go.
Hegseth, Miller, Cheung, Bessent, Lutnick, Gabbard, RFK Jr, Rubio, Leavitt, Bondi, et al all need to go.
All the bootlickers also need to go, incl Cruz, Graham, Bannon etc
Plus Erika, the DOGE hackers, the ex-gardener in charge of anti-terrorism etc
As it becomes increasingly clear Trump doesn't have an exit point to the Iran war, Israel doesn't want one, & Lindsey Graham wants people to send their kids over there, we are left wondering what comes next?
Does Putin weigh in against USA?
Does China hit Taiwan opportunistically?
World War 3?
Poor old Trump - must feel really worn out serving his puppeteers on all sides:
Putin
Netanyahu
All the gulf states but especially Qatar
China
Stephen Miller
Must be exhausted, poor old chap!
While I agree the religious regime in Iran is way overdue for a change - 60% of the population there is less than 39 yrs old & most are non-religious - I do NOT support Israel & Trump waging war on Iran.
The right sort of regime change can only come from within.
I'm sure the CIA are good at that!
