President Donald now trying to eliminate Harvard, a lighthouse of science and education. What will finally blow the fuse within the American people?? Rumor is, Harvard rejected his son’s application for admission. As to what will cause the American people to wake the fuck up is unknown. It took a massive ass kicking for Germany to wake up and it wasn’t until Japan faced total oblivion ion that they gave up…people here are just plain stupid when it comes to how they vote, many will continuously vote against their own best interests, simply because someone told them it was “socialist” to vote differently. Most have no idea what socialism really is or how it really works. When you point out to them that it is the republican held states that are lowest in education, take more then they contribute tax wise, they just say “that’s bullshit, you’re stupid libturd…” and stick their head back up their ass.

Mr. Hegseth said in a podcast appearance before his nomination to lead the Pentagon that women have no place in military combat units, but appeared to soften that stanceduring his confirmation hearing in January. Truth be told, women do have their role in the military, but I don’t think it is necessarily front line combat. Biden went way too far with this as well as gays and trans people in the military, including full payment for the transitional surgery etc… I honestly question the mental sanity of trans people. The former navy seal who “transitioned” admitted he wanted to die and was suicidal and made decisions based on that, decisions that could have compromised the mission and cost others their lives. The whole alphabet/pronoun/rainbow/DEI issue supposedly is one of the things that cost the democrats the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted May 25 Report Share Posted May 25 Reality - a long piece on Fiona Hill, remember her? from the Telegraph. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/us/politics/2025/05/25/fiona-hill-interview-trump-terrified-putin-seen-firsthand/ A very good read - equal parts reality and warning. Recommended reading despite the length. Some excerpts: ___ "Trump is terrified of Putin, I’ve seen it first hand" ___ It could of course have been pure coincidence that when Vladimir Putin unveiled Russia’s first hypersonic missile to the world, he did so with a simulation of the weapon plummeting into an unnamed peninsula bearing an uncanny resemblance to Florida. The similarity was not lost on Donald Trump whose face whitened - as he watched on, presumably with visions of his beloved Mar-a-Lago resort reduced to an atomic wasteland, flashing before his eyes. Standing next to him on that day in March 2018 was Fiona Hill, the president’s Russia tsar at the time. “That got Trump’s attention,” she said. “Trump was like, ‘Why did he do that? Real countries don’t have to do that.’” ___ ... unlike the US president, whom she said remains trapped in a 1980s mindset, both in his foreign policy approach and his musical tastes (see his penchant for YMCA), Hill is at pains to stress that the biggest global threat is no longer a nuclear strike, but more clandestine methods of warfare. “It’s not the likelihood of a Russian tank coming across the Suffolk Downs or a nuclear weapon taking out Sheffield,” she said, speaking over Zoom from her office in Washington DC. “Now it’s much more about critical national infrastructure and acts of sabotage, poisonings and assassinations.” ___ “He is deferential towards Putin because he really is worried about the risk of a nuclear exchange,” she said. ___ So, when the two presidents shared an “excellent” phone call on Monday, Hill was uniquely placed to read the tea leaves of the paltry briefings from each side. How did Trump fare? “Terrible. Let’s give him a pass for effort,” she said, matter-of-factly, as if marking the president’s report card. A former Harvard researcher who serves as a senior fellow at the Brookings Institute, an influential foreign policy think tank, Hill is a career academic with the manner of a firm but fair head teacher. “What Trump is doing is answering the wrong exam question,” Hill added. “Trump thinks it’s just about real estate, about trade and who gets what, be it minerals, land or rare earths,” she explained. What the president doesn’t understand is that “Putin doesn’t want a ceasefire”. “[He] wants a neutered Ukraine, not one that is able to withstand military pressure. Everybody sees this, apart from Trump,” she said. ___ After his call with Putin, Trump floated the possibility of a “large-scale trade” deal. Putin, in turn, offered syrupy platitudes about negotiations being “on the right track” and the prospect of a “memorandum of understanding”. But one cannot help but detect a growing sense of desperation in the US president’s boosterism. ___ Putin, who has maintained the same “tight team” of top diplomats around him for the past 25 years, dispatched his Stanford-educated economic adviser Kirill Dmitriev, former ambassador to Washington Yuri Ushakov, and Sergei Lavrov, his comic villain foreign minister, to recent talks in Saudi Arabia. “These guys are really skilled diplomats. They all speak absolutely excellent English,” said Hill. “They can talk the hind leg off a donkey. They can turn you around in circles. They’ve got an answer for everything.” Batting for the US are Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, Mike Waltz, Trump’s erstwhile national security adviser, and his special envoy Steve Witkoff, a former real estate dealer. Between them, they have less than a year’s-worth of cabinet-level experience. So, what does the dancing Russian bear make of these three cotillion debutantes? “They’re eating the neophytes on the US side for dinner,” said Hill. ___ Underpinning Trump’s soft approach to Moscow, she believes, is his personal idolisation of Putin, and their joint belief in “spheres of influence” and “might makes right”. “Trump is enthralled by Putin, and as a result becomes in thrall to him,” she said. ___ Coss Comment: also Kompromat.

Coss Posted May 28 Report Share Posted May 28 So Drumpf got his golden palace in the sky, and then... Trump laments size of ‘much too big’ airplane gifted by Qatar “Frankly, it’s much too big,” Trump told reporters during a question and answer media session in the Oval Office at the White House on Wednesday afternoon. He expanded. He called the new jet a “beautiful, big, magnificent, free airplane for the United States air force”. But is apparently unhappy with its size, although he has not sought to answer the question, too big for what? ____ And on another planet.... RFK Jr offers to save Canadian ostriches with suspected bird flu and move them to US Robert F Kennedy Jr, the US health secretary, and Mehmet Oz, a physician and former TV host appointed by Trump as the director of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid, have offered to move the birds to Oz’s ranch in Florida – despite the kill order imposed by Canadian health authorities... ___ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted May 30 Report Share Posted May 30 As Elon Musk entered President Trump’s orbit, he told people he was taking so much ketamine that it was affecting his bladder. He was also taking Ecstasy and psychedelic mushrooms, and he traveled with a daily medication box of about 20 pills. LINK Lucky fella. But do you want him in government, and pulling puppet Donald's strings. Oh, he's gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 And the ability to avoid a punch to the face, by a child. A child who, by the result of the punch, could take on Tyson et al. Or was it someone else? --- Interesting White House - an Emperor with no clothes, a Druggie who people take actual shots at. What next? will little Donnie try and re-enact the Midas thing? turning cheeseburgers into gold? Or will he command the tide to retreat, as King Canute the Great (also spelled Cnut), an 11th-century king who ruled over England, Denmark, and Norway, did. I would hazard a guess that unlike Canute, little Donnie would not use the moment to demonstrate to his courtiers that even a king's power is insignificant compared to the forces of nature. Nor would he, place his crown on a crucifix, never to wear it again as a sign of humility. --- before and after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
