Same with Franco in Spain, although it seems like the rose-colored glasses are mostly worn by 20-30 year olds who never actually lived under Franco. Probably similar with some youngsters who never lived under the old Soviet regimes in Russia and its satellitesBaby Face Finster wrote: ↑09 Jul 2026, 10:47You can hear the same thing in Portugal about Salazar from the older people who lived through his regime.

Fascists/nationalists are great at giving people that sort of feeling of pride and superiority.

Trump said Iran couldn’t be allowed to charge tolls for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz but now says the U.S. will take over control of the Strait and will charge all ships 20% to pass through.
What a guy.

Trump announces Speech to the Nation on Thursday during primetime. That is going to be so eloquent I'm sure. he'll be rambling on about the voting rights suppression bill, I mean the Save America Ass-Act and will list all his grievences and praise all the fictive things he's done. Then he'll mix up Japan and Iran again, and call Zelensky Putin again, then say that Greenland belongs to them and that he'll invade Canada shortly.
And still people will support him! What a nation of backward dumbfucks.

He is now scrapping the 20% fee. This guy doesn't know what he is doing from minute to minute. He's like a weather vane, blows whatever way the wind takes him.

Re: The Turd In Chief Is At It Again!
He's used to paying contractors 50% of the agreed sum, so he figured 20% fee would be fine. He's a child, a demented child at this point. Virtually nothing he says surprises me anymore. The only interesting thing is how far can he go before the Republicans in Congress pulls out the 25th?Baby Face Finster wrote: ↑14 Jul 2026, 20:13 He is now scrapping the 20% fee.

You're right, it has to be his own cabinet. I literally think Trump could take a dump on the resolute desk in front of cameras and they still would not invoke the 25th.jujigatame wrote: ↑15 Jul 2026, 18:18Congress can't invoke the 25th only Vance and the cabinet can, and they're the most wretched group of toadies ever assembled.hhaehre wrote: ↑15 Jul 2026, 02:22He's used to paying contractors 50% of the agreed sum, so he figured 20% fee would be fine.

The insane thing is that Clayton is, or shall I say was, a very serious professional. He is the US attorney for the Southern District of New York, yet he cannot say that Biden won the 2020 election.

So Trump blames China for the 2020 election. I'm waiting on martial law to be declared before midterms.

Re: The Turd In Chief Is At It Again!
That's one of the last plays they have. I'm not sure they'll get to that. Currently I think they'll file lawsuit after lawsuit delaying the certification of results and then Speaker Johnson won't swear in the newly elected members while lawsuits are pending. If they go for the Martial Law option, then it will be very interesting what happens. With Hesgeth they've got a guy who's been getting rid of generals who are loyal to the constitution. What a horrible time to be an American.tiny_acres wrote: ↑16 Jul 2026, 21:32 So Trump blames China for the 2020 election. I'm waiting on martial law to be declared before midterms.
But 73 million dumbasses went out on voting day and voted for this idiot A SECOND TIME. Karma bitches. Karma.

He may also be laying the groundwork to prevent people from voting for Democrats.
