Is this the first time a Western head of state has issued a travel warning about *their own country*?

Either way, its a hell of a thing for a so-called Patriot to do. This mf is out here depriving his own citizens of tourism revenue just to own the libs.

Sigh.
Monica Crowley claims Trump is "talking to FIFA" about potentially moving the World Cup out of "blue cities," but no decisions have been made

What's the betting that Trump just gives his standard stump speech (hottest country in the world, check the tariff shelf, rigged election, people coming in from mental institutions etc) at the World Cup draw?

Some of my non-political mates might finally see what I've been saying for months.

This guy is talking about *AMERICAN CITIZENS*. 90% of Somalis in Minnesota are American citizens.

I pointed this earlier, but I STILL see pundits on British TV insisting this guy isn't racist.

I need the likes of @jeremyvine.bsky.social to have this clip ready to go the next time they do.
Trump goes on another racist rant about Somalis: "Ilhan Omar should be thrown the hell out of our country, and most of those people -- they have destroyed Minnesota. It's a hellhole right now. Those Somalians should be out of here. They have destroyed out country ... go back to your own country."

I'm not even gonna breakdown how dumb this story is, because it's obviously incredibly dumb.

What's most alarming for me is that every time he tells it, he says it happened "the other day", as if no one remembers hearing this every other week in Aug Sep, Oct and Nov.

And everyone has to stand…
Trump: "They're finding money in our country now that they never knew existed. The other day -- $30b. Where did it come from? I said, 'Why don't you check the tariffs shelf?' They said, 'Sir, that tariff hasn't started yet.' I said, 'No, it started 2 months ago.' They call back- 'sir, you're right'"

The President of the United States has now resorted to reposting videos of immigrants holding peaceful, joyful community events, trying to incite fear and hatred of them.

This comes after he's spent days talking about needing to "get them out".

Racist and fascist to his core.

I actually winced when she said "imported".

This administration really is despicable.
Leavitt: "The Trump admin is now actively reexamining all of the Afghans imported into the country by Biden. Any individual who threatens our national security or citizenry will be subject to removal. Trump has already permanently paused migration of foreign nationals from 3rd world countries"

When I think of some of the most racist things people have said in my presence over the years, hardly any of those things were this racist
Trump: "People that shouldn't be in our country, and that includes Somalians and plenty of others. We don't want those people. Many of them are no good. All they do is go around killing each other, then they come into our country and tell us how to run our country. We don't want them."

Some thoughts on Stranger Things...

1. I love how savage the Demagorgons are now...but it creates a problem.

A DG has no problem tearing apart a bunch of soldiers armed with automatic weapons & tanks etc, but just screams at regular people and runs away from Home Alone style traps?

Its jarring.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?

LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

Karoline Leavitt and the GOP claim the unredacted email placing Trump at Epstein's house with Virginia Giuffre vindicates him, citing Giuffre’s past comments.

​But if you look at *Trump* and *Leavitt's* own past comments, this email doesn't clear him - it should bury him.

Also important to note that saying this about Charlie Kirk got many people doxxed, fired from their jobs and even locked up.

But i guess the Republicans will be fine with it now the Dear Leader has said it.
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

"Things happen".

Things happen?!

If our politicians don't condemn this, we may as well pack up ajd go home.

It's important to note that he only needed to comment on MBS' alleged involvement. The extra stuff he said is indefensible.

The headline here isn't Trump being a prick or a misognyst, since neither of those things are really news.

It's that a bunch of other journos stood there and said nothing, then a bunch more waited THREE DAYS to flag that it had happened.

Leaving aside the transphobic subtext, this article reflects the differences in where we direct blame and concern for the radicalisation of people from minority groups vs white-cis-hetero males.

The former is always centred on identity. The problem is *those people* - Muslims, blacks, gays etc.

this should be obvious but the reason Trump is working desperately against Epstein transparency is because he's guilty

Epstein's emails are obviously the headline here, confirming (allegedly) what we all knew already.

But oh boy does Michael Wolff also come off as a piece of shit in these - basically encouraging one sex offender to bribe another.

Disgusting all round.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

This can't be right, surely? According to JD Vance, this stuff only happens in communist Europe, and is worthy of implying trade sanctions.

There's no way this happened in the bastion of freedom, America?
