Fox News for the Faragist fan boys.

I am old enough to remember when teams hated coming to The Dell and I always expected a good result. For too long now we seem to be an easy 3 points at home, let alone away.

Musk looks more like a nerd than Zelensky but Trump seems to find that look ok. Forget the dress code, Zelensky has more integrity in his little finger nail than Trump, Vance and Musk have put together.

It’s in incredible. Trump has only been back in power for a few weeks but already he has been more of a useless asshole than he was in his first term. What is freaky is that while we are waiting for the final series of The Handmaid’s Tale, it is beginning to look like the start of the story is about to begin.

It has been intimated that Trump will not comply with the US commitments to supply Ukraine with what has already been agreed to help them continue to fight over the next few months. If that is the case I hope that Europe tells Trump to GFH.
-
Having seen it again, yes. I think we are seeing the break up of NATO. Trump is more interested in doing deals with Putin than working with the UK and the EU. Putin will be loving this and as you say, it was probably orchestrated to suck up to him. Not looking good.
-
I have just seen the bit where he was asked about not wearing a suit. What planet are these people on. He had made it clear for years that he will wear a suit when the war is over.
-
Zelensky had already been softened up by Trump’s earlier rhetoric about him being a dictator and having an approval rating of 4%. You could tell from his expression that he felt he was being used to show what big tough guys Trump and Vance are. Trouble is they would never dare treat Putin that way.
-
Got to feel gutted for the Ukrainians watching that on TV. Putin one side and Trump on the other. A perfect definition of being between a rock and a hard place.
-
Do we know if he left without signing the deal yet?
-
It can’t be easy when your first language is not English and you are on your own being harangued by two idiots whilst your people are being bombed and shot at. I thought he was very restrained under the circumstances. And any more financial problems for us are nothing compared to what the Ukrainians are going through.
-
Vance knows more about what is going on in Ukraine than Zelensky apparently. He hasn’t been there. He has seen it on TV.
-
The only person I saw being disrespected was Zelensky. His country has been invaded and his so called allies treated him like a naughty child who needs to be put in his place. The MAGA crowd will lap it up. Normal people will be horrified.
-
Extraordinary pile on Zelensky by Trump and Vance on national TV. Putin will be loving this.

Fair play to Anneliese Dodds. Cabinet Ministers don’t often resign on points of principle nowadays. The extra money for defence has to come from somewhere but foreign aid is the wrong place in my opinion. It is seen as a soft, easy option but when you listen to those who understand how it is used, how important it is and how it can effect us down the road, they should have made cuts elsewhere. As much as they don’t want to increase taxes, given the financial mess we are in at some point they are going to have to consider it. -
No doubt you will be popping the champagne corks down at the Farage Arms this evening.

I would quite like to own Cornwall, but that would be a hard trade.

That last choice was a bit strange! Still, each to their own. The thing is the Roayals don’t know any different. Charles doesn’t know anything else. He has been groomed for this role all of his life. Put him in a council house (if you could find one), tell him to get a job and fend for himself and he wouldn’t have a clue what to do. He probably looks at us and thinks that we have “fucking awful lives”.
-
Very true. Trump won’t want to give up power in 4 years time and is clearly putting things in place for an attempt to overturn the constitution and get a third term in office. The Tate bros are just more people he will use in his cunning plan and it is reasonable to assume that Trump will make sure that they never see the inside of a court room.
-
He is on an awful lot of radars, you only have to google his name to see how much media attention he has had. He appeals to a lot of people whose support Trump wants. He was the third most googled person in 2023 according to Wiki and has 10 million followers on Twitter. Hardly not on anyone’s radars.

I know nutty Nic doesn’t deal in fact, but he ought to take a look at this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-23355531.amp Typically for a conspiracy theorist, he takes something, makes it in to something it isn’t and ignores something else that blows his original theory out of the water.

It certainly explains east-stand-bot.

I know, look how many laughing emojis I get.

I was wondering whether the Russians had developed new bots as the antithesis to AI, AS, artificial stupidity. As for sucking up to Trump, somehow the dumbest man on the planet has found himself, again, with an awful lot of power. Knocking the narcissists off his pedestal might be satisfying for 5 minutes but the EU and the UK need to find ways of dealing with him that don’t wreck our economies and defensive capabilities until the US comes to its senses again and elects a President with a brain that functions normally. Blowing smoke up his arse is currently the best way forward.
